Strength Through Music
from Who Killed Amanda Palmer by Amanda Palmer
about
Featuring Strindberg and Ben Folds
lyrics
locked in his bedroom
he saw the world
a web of action
and cumshot girls
tick tick tick tick tick
don’t bother blaming
his games and guns
he’s only playing
and boys just want to have fun
he picked a soundtrack
and packed his bag
he hung his walkman
around his neck
tick tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick tick tick
it is so simple
the way they fall
no bang or whimper
no sound at all
tick tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
boom.
he saw the world
a web of action
and cumshot girls
tick tick tick tick tick
don’t bother blaming
his games and guns
he’s only playing
and boys just want to have fun
he picked a soundtrack
and packed his bag
he hung his walkman
around his neck
tick tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick tick tick
it is so simple
the way they fall
no bang or whimper
no sound at all
tick tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick tick tick
tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
boom.

A Is For Accident
by The Dresden Dollssupported by 196 fans who also own “Strength Through Music”
Amanda Palmer & Brian Viglione are amazing creators and performers. Brechtian Punk Cabaret is the style of their music, and Amanda's distinctive voice and stage presence is so phenomenal. From the first time I saw and heard them online, I was obsessed. I still am. This album is a collection of live performances that at this point are iconic, at least they are to me. Incredible vocals by Amanda, massive energy from Brian. Joyous.
