Amanda Palmer lyrics : "Bad Wine and Lemon Cake"

I have a little house*

Close to town but not to the city


Far from home but near my family


No water views but so close to the sea

I see, this is how my little life could be





And I'm filling it with things

Like furniture that I find on the street


And all the special things I'd like to eat



Pictures of people that I'd like to meet, oh meet




Well I'm orbiting the world


And it's so pretty and so lonely




My little love affairs are all scheduled 'round the TV guide


And my sex life has all been plagiarized


In an attempt to meet a harsh down line




I'd like to rent a wife


Then rent a husband to keep her for life

The three of us, we could be so happy


Then with each other, meet with company


I'll see them, I'll find a flight around the world




And it's so pretty and so lonely


I could just die, I might just die



I could just die, I might just die





And at my funeral


They will say Tom he was such a nice guy


He went too early but he went in style

They'll play my music and then they will cry


Then they'll have a little wake


They'll drink bad wine and they'll eat lemon cake

And my mothers little heart will break


And she'll say "Wait there must be must some mistake.


He can't be dead, take me instead"



Oh but I'm not dead


They tell me I'm not dead

They say that I'm not dead


That I won't die for some time





In my little house

Just writing little songs to past the time

Which incidentally is 7:49




So don't you worry I'm completely fine, I'm fine

And don't you worry I'm completely fine, I'm fine


Don't you worry I'm completely fine, I'm fine

Don't you worry I'm completely fine, I'm fine

Don't you worry I'm completely fine, I'm fine




I'm just a $#&@ing fine.
