Amanda Palmer - The Killing Type Lyrics
I wouldn't kill to win a war
I don't get what they do it for
It's all so terribly vague
I see the pictures from a thousand years of battle
And I think it's such a bore
I walk New Orleans with a knife
Like Mackie hidden out of sight
But I'd be useless if they jumped
I'm really not the killing type
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
I'm not, I'm not
I'm not the killing type, I'm not
I've got a picture of your mum
Before the war when she was young
She's got an etching to her right
I think it's funny that she's looking to the left
And it's her son
I wouldn't kill to get you back
And I've officially been asked
I couldn't kill to save a life
I'd rather a die a peaceful piece of shit-bait
Shame-filled coward
Thanks
I'm not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
I'm not, I'm not
I'm not the killing type, I'm not
But I would kill to make you feel
I don't mean kill someone for real
I couldn't do that, it is wrong
But I can say it in a song, a song, a song
And I'm saying it now
I'm saying it so
Even if you never hear this song
Somebody else would know
I'm saying it now
I'm saying it so
Even if you never hear this song
Somebody else will know, know, know, know
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't describe
I once stepped on a dying bird
It was a mercy killing
I couldn't sleep for a week
I kept feeling it's breaking bones
I heard that if you see a star at night
And the conditions are just right
And you are standing on a cliff
Then you can close your eyes
And make a wish and take a step
And change somebody's life
I'm not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
I'm not, I'm not
I'm not the killing type, I'm not
But I would kill to make you feel
I'd kill to move your face an inch
I see you staring into space
I wanna stick my fist into your mouth
And twist your Arctic heart
Yes, I would kill to make you feel
I don't mean kill someone for real
I couldn't do that, it is wrong
But I can say it in a song, a song, a song
And I'm saying it now
I'm saying it so
Even if you never hear this song
Somebody else would know
I'm saying it now
I'm saying it so
Even if you never hear this song
Somebody else will know, know, know, know
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't describe-ibe-ibe-ibe
Die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die
I'm not the killing type

Amanda Palmer - Bottomfeeder Lyrics
Amanda Palmer - Bottomfeeder Lyrics
Why you always kickin' up the sand,
Always kickin' up the sand
God man you're angry and it makes my eyes hurt.
Why you always kickin' up the sand,
Kickin' up the sand,
You block your sister so the sunbeams miss her.
Why you always raggin' on the man,
Always raggin' on the man
It just makes you look like a sad-sack actor
Why you always raggin' on the man,
Raggin' on Some system you think killed him but you're so so backward
Why you gotta be like that?
You're never gonna bring him back
Big fish, little fish,
Fixin' in the dark
If I had one wish, just a wish,
Throw me in the water, 'cos I wanna be a bottomfeeder
Why you always hatin' on the cabs,
Always hatin' on the cabs,
Just means the cabs are coming that less faster.
Why you always hatin' on the cabs,
You shake your fist at God you ain't even noticing that they're all passin'
Why you gotta bitch about the band,
Bitch about the band,
You know he loved 'em and they kept him laughin'.
Why you gotta bitch about the band,
Bitch about the band,
You ain't even listening and man they're not askin'
Why you gotta be like that?
You're never gonna bring him back
Big fish, little fish,
Shootin' in the dark
If I had one wish, just a wish,
Throw me in the water, 'cos I wanna be a bottomfeeder
Wanna be a bottomfeeder
Why you always dyin' in the bath,
Always dyin' in the bath
Just makes me nervous that the lizard king kissed you.
Why you always dyin' in the bath
Dyin' in the bath
It's awful quiet and it makes me miss you
Why you gotta be like that?
You're never gonna bring him back
Big fish, little fish
Dying in the dark
If I had one wish, just a wish
Throw me in the water
'Cos the cabs ain't comin'
Yeah the sun's not shinin'
Yeah the bath keeps runnin'
Yeah it keeps on rainin'
But the band keeps playing
Yeah the band keeps playing
Yeah the band keeps playing
Yeah the band keeps playin'
Why you always kickin' up the sand,
Always kickin' up the sand
God man you're angry and it makes my eyes hurt.
Why you always kickin' up the sand,
Kickin' up the sand,
You block your sister so the sunbeams miss her.
Why you always raggin' on the man,
Always raggin' on the man
It just makes you look like a sad-sack actor
Why you always raggin' on the man,
Raggin' on Some system you think killed him but you're so so backward
Why you gotta be like that?
You're never gonna bring him back
Big fish, little fish,
Fixin' in the dark
If I had one wish, just a wish,
Throw me in the water, 'cos I wanna be a bottomfeeder
Why you always hatin' on the cabs,
Always hatin' on the cabs,
Just means the cabs are coming that less faster.
Why you always hatin' on the cabs,
You shake your fist at God you ain't even noticing that they're all passin'
Why you gotta bitch about the band,
Bitch about the band,
You know he loved 'em and they kept him laughin'.
Why you gotta bitch about the band,
Bitch about the band,
You ain't even listening and man they're not askin'
Why you gotta be like that?
You're never gonna bring him back
Big fish, little fish,
Shootin' in the dark
If I had one wish, just a wish,
Throw me in the water, 'cos I wanna be a bottomfeeder
Wanna be a bottomfeeder
Why you always dyin' in the bath,
Always dyin' in the bath
Just makes me nervous that the lizard king kissed you.
Why you always dyin' in the bath
Dyin' in the bath
It's awful quiet and it makes me miss you
Why you gotta be like that?
You're never gonna bring him back
Big fish, little fish

If I had one wish, just a wish

Yeah it keeps on rainin'
But the band keeps playing
Yeah the band keeps playing
Yeah the band keeps playing
Yeah the band keeps playin'
