Amanda Palmer - Small Hands, Small Hearts Lyrics
Small hands
Small heart
The winter killed it but the summer took the fall
Free world
Free market's drowning islands
And I stopped looking
When the king put his hand over his heart
Yeah, I stopped looking when the
Censuses stopped counting us at all
One world
Six spoons
You better save them cause you're gonna need 'em soon
New heels
Totally useless if you're into finding lives
And I stopped counting when they buried
My beloved in the ground
Yeah, I stopped counting when they
Told me that his dress was never found
They'll know we knew (they'll know we knew)
They'll know we knew (they'll know we knew)
This sick parade (this sick parade)
That's ripping through (that's ripping through)
They'll know we failed (they'll know we failed)
They won't know why (they won't know why)
But that's exactly why we've gotta keep it
All on the inside
So
Let's fill our glasses up
But only halfway up
Let's hear it for the band
At least what's left of them
Half of them had to go
They had another show
We got some records and
We've got the radio
Let's fill our glasses up
But only halfway up
Let's hear it for the bride
She had to step outside
Don't know when she'll be back
She got an urgent text
She's needed on the front
There's been a new attack
Small hands
Small heart
So small there isn't any place to put the dark
Soft state
Soft town
But not so soft that we can't pin them to the ground
And I stopped caring when the odds started looking pretty grim
Yeah, I stopped caring when I stopped to read the warning on the lid
Yeah, I stopped trying when the dolphins went on trial
Yeah, I stopped trying when the iceman took a submachine gun
And a bible out and he forced me down the aisle
This is your weapon
This is your mission
This is your home
Should you choose to destroy it
This is your mother
This is your maker
This land is your land
Now rape, baby, rape her…
Big man
Big mouth
So big a rising sea can't wash it out
Big plans
Big dick
Bigger than Jesus who's a loser in your book
And I stopped living when the nice man said I didn't gotta
Yeah, I stopped living when I found out I could outsource it to someone
Game for change from making pocketbooks for prada
I stopped worrying the minute that we got a bigger army
Yeah, I stopped worrying cause who on earth would fuck with us
We got alotta oil and we sure know how to party
And we knew (they'll know we knew)
Of course we knew (they'll know we knew)
This sick parade (this whole charade)
That's ripping through (that's rippng through)
They'll know we failed (they'll know we failed)
And bent the bell (and bent the bell)
But that's exactly why we've got to keep this all on the DL
So
Let's fill our glasses up
But only halfway up
Let's hear it for the band
At least what's left of them
Half of them had to go
They had another show
We've got some records and
We got the radio
So sorry blacks and whites
So sorry reds and blues
The beatings will continue
Until morale improves
Go wave that flag around
But keep it halfway down
It's staying on it's knees
Until the season's out

LYRICS:
Small hands
Small heart
The winter killed it but the summer took the fall
Free world
Free market’s drowning islands
While we burn inside the wall
And I stopped looking
When the king put his hand over his heart
Yeah, I stopped looking when the
Censuses stopped counting us at all
One world
Six spoons
You better save them cause you’re gonna need ‘em soon
New heels
Like knives
Totally useless if you’re into finding lives
And I stopped counting when they buried
My beloved in the ground
Yeah, I stopped counting when they
Told me that his dress was never found
They’ll know we knew (they’ll know we knew)

Smallhandsguy is definitely making music great again.
God damn she is so fucking good.
You´re everyone's hero! Mine most definitely! You help a lot with my depression. :-) :D
Jesus. That was fucking good.
you never seize to amaze me.
I LVOE YOU SO MUCH
YO AMANDA quick story
Went on a road trip with my gf at the time across canada starting in nova and I was reading your book.. i think my sister got it for me for christmas. anyway we broke up in montreal but were like, shit we've been planning this for a while so we kept going. (gf super homesick and i was aw damn she might have to call it nd i left it up to her cause very distraut nd scared. she wanted to keep going and i was ERMAGURd juiced but she in turn she took full control, wouldnt let me touch the radio, wouldnt even play fckn car games. It was like she got her kicks to make the trip bearable for her by making sure I wasn't enjoying myself it was horrible but also fckin sick. anyway i remember reading ur shit on a ferry in the midst of this. |Stopped looking when the king put his hand over his heart - sick line
I love her and her music so much :')
is this your view of 1943. read special topics of calamity physics and maybe get some saphire in your attire ;)
AMANDA I LOVE YOUUU
I've lost count of the number of times your songs have made me cry. Excellent work, as always. <3
NOSFURATU COMANDS YOU !
he-mans womans haters club ! My life My love My all ! you old money bags ! steamheat ! she don't look like no golfer to me !
SHE DIDN"T Change THANK GOD, SHE ISN"T ALL POP YEESSSS
Double Stuff what's so bad about Amanda's poppier stuff? I like it
Ariel Yemini Amanda Palmer doesn't really have super poppy stuff, they're just stating thank god Amanda Palmer isn't selling out like a lot of classic musicians right now
slaapkaamers I agree with you, but I don't really see a connection between pop music and selling out. Yes, selling out might be more common in pop music but it exists in every genre
This is an incredibly important song. Thank you!

I have a feeling I know exactly who this is about *squints at DC*
dooooonaldaaaa trooompa
Lord Ravioli you're right. This song is obviously about the batman Detective Comics
And then today. Thank you, Amanda. I love when this pours out of you and you fuckin nailed it.
the "Victory" branded mousetrap immediately made me think of "Victory Gin" from 1984... poignantly appropriate.
Thank you, Amanda. ❤
Such a good song
Tell me Amada; when it is "just another day in Paradise" do you shout out your song, . . . but when you are REALLY PISSED OFF
about bureaucratic inefficiency; does your voice get all calm and "smooth?"
Such a stunning piece. Thank you.
Wooooooooow... Its my favorite since Machete. Contrats, amazing song 💜
small dick, but yea. chicks hate being sore all the time anyway.
freewilliam93 >.>
annie marie how you doing?
freewilliam93 good enough
annie marie wanna chat sometime?
I don't even have words to express how much I love this song. The lyrics, the heart, the meaning. It's beautiful.
Amazing 🙂 one of my favourite artists. Brilliant and unique..
These songs are genius. I can't wait for your next record!
Mattie I'm sorry I don't think I know you? Who are ya?
I'm trying to calculate how many times I can listen to this on repeat before I have to go to work.... not enough. Thank you for another masterpiece. This caliber of song sounds like it took months to write, not hours.
I just got really excited for the upcoming CD
Beautiful song. ❤
This is so beautiful 🖤
Excellent lyrics! Love it.
I love this,,,, so muchhhh
I keep seeing my birthday everywhere and it's starting to freak me out. Here it is again. March 13th. Anyway, that's my own narcissistic paranoia. The real point is Amanda fucking Palmer is putting out new music and that is AMAZING. Much love, Amanda!
Such a great response to everything going on right now <3
SHE DID IT AGAIN! Amanda has been growing into such a lyricist lately. She inspires me and everyone to write, live, and scream for reasons unknown. Keep it up Palmer. You're making the world a better place.
I think this and the JIB EP are reaching back to the kind of heightened lyricism from the first Dolls records—and I am so happy.
fuck yes!!!!!
Please iTunes this!!!!!! I love you so much!!!!!! Beautiful Artistic emotional everything! I literally feel it all! Love you ! I need it on my playlist ?
Petahhhhh offliberty
Look up her patreon and website. You can directly support her and get her music
Gee, I wonder who this could be about.
mmmmm...can listen again
I <3 <3 <3 it. And what a great way to start my day. Thanks, Amanda!
Stc🍒 loves you all!
I love your music and you so much!
I love it!!!
Ohmyfuck.
Ooooooooh I love it!!!!
This was really good, probably my favourite of yours since in my mind. I'd love to hear a version with a killing type kind of arrangement...but maybe that's just me :)
Danny Fleming yesss
There is one on her record "Piano is Evil"!
Ahh I love your music so much!
