Amanda Palmer - Bad Wine And Lemon Cake Lyrics
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
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
I'm 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 so fucking fine.

0:52 for people wanting to relisten to the song
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
I'll meet them when 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 deadline...
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
Them with each other, me with company
I'll see them off on 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
They'll have a little wake
They'll drink bad wine and they'll eat lemon cake
And my mother's little heart will break
And she will say:
"Wait! There must be 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
And I won't die for some time
I'm in my little house
Just writing little songs to pass the time
Which incidentally is seven forty-nine
So 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 am just so fucking fine
I love Amanda Palmer but this is one of the worst songs I've ever heard. It's on par with the front bottoms
suck a dick maybe?
The three of us could be so happy......
I don't understand that, why can't he love that rented wife?
He needs a rented husband to keep her alive, and i guess needing a friend?..
@Ajay he rents a wife because he feels like no one will love him, but he rents a husband because he doesn't think he'd be good enough for his 'wife' to be happy
My stepfather passed away last week. We ate lemon cake and my mother drank a box of wine. Life is weird, this gem of a song is awesome.
I can't say that it was.
who is that other person singing
Crazynugget Channel If you're still curious it's the Jane Austin Argument.
Ryan C Smy thanks
Its hard for me to get passed the toy piano sound that happens on the upper note x.x
It's hard for me to get passed how pretty your face is
Oh my this song is a serious sensory overload for me. It's so good!! This song, I Want You But I Don't Need You and In My Mind are my three favorite songs and they are all from the same artist. Amanda Palmer please continue injecting beauty and wonder into the world!
except AFP didn't have any part in writing this song, but okay.
Nope she sure didn't, but they performed it together marvelously
Avery Rathbun She didn't write any of those songs. But I agree and love her versions of them
While the first two are covers, she did write In My Mind.
Awesome song!
BEST SONGEVA
I found this on one of my playlists and was like... what the hell is this... then I listened to it... God I love this SOOOOO Much!
This is life.
Alright. I'm annoyed. My brother lives above me and he just became fantastic at attracting girls. He discovered the Master Attraction website (Look in Google) by Jake Ayres. Now I hear him bringing women back. He's consistently pulling the hottest women back. I can't help but hear it, which is gross and If only he had not found that site. My best friend is getting laid now too coz of that site.
Soo good
doesn't it, looks so comfy casual... was thinking that exact same thing, I love her voice, kind of voice I want to hear in the kitchen cooking soup with me.
did dave follow me here..... he likes her too
Overwhelmingly beautiful!!
Only 57k views? Class song. I really like this and In My Mind from this album.
Why have I never heard this before?
good song
My favorite part 4:00-4:30
Check out the rest of the JAA's stuff. Their album "Somewhere Under the Rainbow" is gorgeous. :)
Her underwear looks so comfortable...
Why has it taken me so long to listen to this? It's beautiful!
because they must be dead. or deaf. or both.
the one person who disliked this song must be Beethoven
'S not about the author. The Jane Austen Argument is a band.
"They'll have a little waaaaaaank"
I love the way he says "wake"
i'll admit, it bugs me that he holds his jaw shut when he sings, but damn, this is a beautiful song
Addictive. I can't tell whether it's his voice (gorgeous) or the melody, but I'm just gonna keep listening to this on a loop forever...
the one person who disliked this was so amazed that they pressed it by accident.
This song totally lifted my spirits.. They're fucking awesome!!
I had the pleasure of seeing The Jane Austen Arguments first official US show in San Diego last weekend. They are amazing, I just can't stop listening to this song. Tom is so gorgeous and his voice is amazing.
> than love!
The Jane Austen Argument are pretty kewl.. chill vibe.
Saw them last week. Amanda supported by the JAA and I so wanted them to play this song. But the set they did was MIND BLOWING!
Fantastic song. Thanks for sharing.
this is legit :)
The Jane Austen Argument ftw.
