Dresden Dolls, The - The Mouse And The Model Lyrics

"If you did it say you did it if you didn't suck it up and say you did' that one line :O

Lyrics:

Nothing is certain at this time of day
You could reverberate you could decay
The mouse and the model are laughing at us
We'll risk it we're desperate for someone to trust

Let's start a new heart the new charts are in
We'll take them we'll break them we'll make them give in

By counting your blessings you wind up in debt
It starts with your family and camps in your bed
You Jekyl and hide it when you could have left
Your guard down your dress up you must be upset

Let's start a new heart the new charts are in
We'll take them we'll break them we'll make them give in

It's dark over here on the flip-side of reason
The teaser could be something easy like they did it in a book
You're a crook you're a fake you committed
If you did it say you did it if you didn't suck it up and say you did

Let's start a new heart the new charts are in
We'll tax them relax them and make them forfeit
The vote by a landslide the Jekyl and Hyde
Mackenzie macabre she's bonnie and Clyde

I've learned today my new favourite singer is married to my all time favourite author. It made me feel strangely happy. Fangirls...

My new favourite song :)

This is different from the versions I've heard, mostly live and with less notable guitar. Love it. =]

You give so much hope. Remember this song during one of the lowest points in my life. But I made it through and it's still one of my favorites. <3 <3

10 in a row lol that's called a CD

Same! I just cannot get enough of that unique vibe they offer. Such a great pair.

How could you?

Could they possibly be more talented!! My heart is no longer mine.

My favourite! I love trying to sing along to the ''uh uh...uh''s, even though I always miss some :)

heroine = female hero, like buffy or black widow or someone. heroin = dangerous opiate. i agree with your point, but it's sort of like the velvet underground song. it makes you sit in contemplation. that's worthwhile, if poorly expressed.

nope, she shaves and draws them on!

well this is the kind of feeling that i get when listening to dresden dolls, too. i don't know where it comes from, i've never done drugs, but these songs just make me feel like i could sit around for minutes, being unable to speak, just think about what world is like. :D

are her eyebrows tattooed on?

I find this song so very inspirational.

@mapleloaf67 They're for everyone <3 That's the beauty of it.

Oh my gosh.. Rylan did an amazing cover of this song. He's such good singer.. :D

@DressUpAndKillTheTV You can't forget Voltaire who came before them. Or hell Rasputina. Or even Panic at the Disco! (note Panic! did not come before DD. I was not trying to state that.)

@Brootalmaniac Lol, I don't know where you live so I can't tell you (I suggest eBay) If you know of any faerie festivals going on in your area, I suggest there. That's where I got mine xD Good luck!

@ABetterYesterday Hey i'm 15 and i say... up with the dresdens =D, my fav song from them so far is "i want you, but i dont need you" its gotten that hypocritical stance in the sentences that just make you want moar! =P, any who its really good to see i'm not the only wierdo out there >///<

@aryllia wtf are you talking about? nm its not that I cant handle your opinion its just that you mean nothing to me.

@ImmortalMusic10 LOL ditto that, add days- or weeks- in a row as well ;)

@mapleloaf67 age is irelevant :D

shivers.

i love them <3

i like the part on the beggining

@legionrat *pours gasoline over the comment and sets it on fire*

Seriously. Stop that, right now. Just about every video I see is spammed with those comments, it stopped being funny months ago. We all understand, you and your likes can't handle opinions that differ from your own, now move on.

the like button just told 5 people "missed me"

I feel like I can never just listen to one Dresden Dolls song. I always end up listening to like 10 in a row

One of my favorite DD-songs... ah, fuck it, this IS my favorite DD-Song!!

@MuthaFuckinPost Sorry, but is English not your first language?

MuthaFuck all people how lisen this song EMO

ah absolutely love them

nothing is certain at this time of day....Amanda knows how to hook you from the very start...and it only grows and gets better....love it love it LOVE IT

If you did it, say you did it. If you didn't, suck it up and say you did.

<3

@mapleloaf67 Real music has no age limit... While I may not have a personal connection to all of the subjects and themes in their particular songs, their work as a whole is something that I have a very deep connection to as it speaks of the shared experience we all have, not just a small demographic, like thugs hanging out in clubs drinking champagne and smacking hoes.

beautiful...beautiful...really beautiful...

@NonExistentPatrisha well she does have a rather masculine voice in some of her songs but that is what makes her magnificent

OMG what did i just find?! LOVES IT

@Zwielichtengel >:(

LOVE <33

i like that picture

Who killed Amanda Palmer? Hollywood

Well, I like Nina Hagen. She is one of Dark Cabaret singer too, but Emilie is my Master.

I love Emilie and i was on her concert this year. I like Kanon Wakeshima too. ^^

I'm just giving these bands a try right now... the girl's voice is so soothing :))

a very unique band. =]

Their music is just awesome. I'd never heard a band that I could say spoke to the soul of me until I first listened to the Dresden Dolls. I still cry when I listen to some of their songs.

I love this song!<3

I dont think i've ever loveda band like a i did when i heard the dresden dolls there is just something so astomospheric and funny and charming about there music. It's just one of these gems that will be in your head always <3. I was meant to see Amanda in a concert for my birthday but i was ill with mono was raging.

Emilie Autumn and Kerli are amazing And Amanda Palmer of course

Amanda Palmer = Brilliant

I LOVE Emilie Autumn. Muffins unite!

Runs in the family is from Amanda Palmer only, not of the band Dresden Dolls :P

Not all of the songs have got videos made because The Dresden Dolls arent a very mainstream band.

And they're not weird, you probably just haven't heard this style of music before, they've brought cabaret back and added their own style onto it, and bands like The Hush Sound have followed =]

I've never heard them... I really liked the song!

why there arent videos of the songs, theyre only images when i search
i want the video of the song!!!!!

such a great song!!! i think is one of their best!

"If you did it say you didn't, If you didn't suck it up and say you did OH OH OH"
That bit is almost too awesome. I'm crazy about this song atm.

favourite song i:

Me too.

6:02 minutes

...somewhere on the internet by google images research

Where did you get that picture!? i love it :)

I LOVE this song....but the meaning is so...
I dont really know what this song is about...
still love it though! :D
