lyrics
so you don't want to hear about my good song?
and you don't want to hear about how i am getting on
with all the things that i can get done
the sun is in the sky & i am by my lonesome
so you don't want to hear about my good day?
you have better things to do than hear me say:
god it's been a lovely day
everything is going my way
i took out the trash today
and I'M ON FIRE
so you don't want to hear about my good friends?
you don't have the guts to take the truth or consequence
success is in the eye of the beholder
and it's looking even better over your cold shoulder
i'm not suggesting you up and
line me up for questioning
but jesus think about the bridges you are burning
and i'm betting
that even though you knew it from the start
you'd rather be a bitch
than be an ordinary broken heart
so go ahead and talk about your bad day
i want all the details of the pain and misery
that you are inflicting on the others
i consider them my sisters & i want their numbers
god it's been a lovely day
everything's been going my way
i took up croquet today
and I'M ON FIRE
i picked up the pieces of my broken ego
i have finally made my peace as far as you and me go
but i'd love to have you up to see the place
i'd like to do more than survive:
i'd like to rub it in your face
hey it's been a lovely day
everything is going my way
i had so much fun today
and I'M ON FIRE
god it's been a lovely day
everything's been going my way
ever since you went away
hey
I'M ON FIRE
This album holds special memories for me, as it was released about the time that I first heard of Amanda, back in 2008. I remember being on MySpace and reading her stories about her throat surgery and how difficult is was not to be able to verbally communicate while she recovered. The songs are so unique and I'd never heard anything like what she does before, either solo or as part of The Dresden Dolls. She is truly unique and lovely as a person, and as an artist. Delenn
