Palmer, Amanda - Leeds United Lyrics

Wonderful. Her face, her voice, they didn't need to film anything else!😎🖤

Greatest inspiration of all

Couldn't give a rat's backside who she is.Anyone singing about Leeds can place themselves delicately on my todger.MOT.

We watch you
Your expert double exes
It's just like you
To paint those whiter fences
It's so polite, it's so polite
It's offensive, it's offensive
It's so unright, it's so unright
It's a technical, accept it
But who needs love when there's Law And Order?
And who needs love when there's Southern Comfort?
And who needs love at all?
We stalk you
Your expert, double exes
We oxidized you in your sleep
There's no exit, there's no exit
You're on a roll, you're on a roll
No one gets it, no one gets it
Your honor, no, your honor
Can't you protect us? Protect us
But who needs love when there's Law And Order?
And who needs love when there's Southern Comfort?
And who needs love when the sandwiches are wicked
And they know you at the Mac Store?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, I'm so excited
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, the blacks and beat kids
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, I'm getting frightened
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Someday, someday Leeds United

Bugsy Malone came to carry you home
And they're taking you all to the doctor
Verbally vices, all sugary and spices
It's nice but it's not what I'm after
Sure, I admire you, sure, you inspire me
But you've been not getting back so
I'll wait at the Sainsbury's, counting my change
Making bank on the upcoming roster
And we'll stop you
Your expert double exes
Oh yeah, big stack hold of extra care
Two exes, oh, oh, oh
That never talking thing you do
Is effective, it's effective
And your shoulder's icy cold
Oh, than a death wish, than a death wish
But who needs love when there's Law And Order?
And who needs love when there's Dukes Of Hazzard?
And who needs love when the sandwiches are wicked
And they know you at the Mac Store?

I love this woman

I love her empowered voice, she rocks

Reminds me of Patti Smith

Who's here because of Drifters?

Were are Leeds we are Leeds we are Leeds we are Leeds we are Leeds we are Leeds WE ARE LEEDS

Drifters anyone?

What David Bowie was for my parents, Amanda Palmer is for me

P!nk is quaking

Amazingly talented. Kind of like the female version of Mika. They both seem to have so much fun in their video productions & project such energy.

Magicians brought me here. Had no idea it was a woman singing this and what power she delivers! I really like the style and outside of Grace Jones I've never seen a huger mouth in my life WOW Good Work!

Look up dresdon dolls boo

If this doesn't get you off your ass, nothing will.

She's so amazingly talented and beautiful

Love the classic Leeds fans just sitting with the non conformists

That androgynous guy with the platinum fringe in the front row. Still hot 9 years after androgyny isn't.

I cannot express how much I love this song and the video was more perfect than I could have ever imagined. THANK YOU FOR THIS!! ❤️

When I was 14 I was rolling a joint and this came on through my headphones so I just made it like my rolling a joint son for a while. Had been years since I heard it. She's awesome.
The last time I bought an original album was this one I believe. I've been too broke ever since and live in a country where music that isn't that commercial isn't found in stores.

Buy her albums online, find her blog. It's pay what you want.

Kind of a punk Cabaret vibe.... I like it.

MAC makeup shop or Apple store?? Driving me nuts

Sarah Adams probably MAC

Leeds United and Amanda Palmer!!! Ecstasy!!!! Marching on Together (in Style)!

Swear I thought a dude sung this.

How 😂

Here cos of drifters lol

I feel like if you were to compare songs, Amanda's Leeds United would be Green Day's Holiday. You've got the scratchy voice, the political undertones, and the cabaret dancers who *could* be men but nobody really knows for sure.

Welp...they said she was too fat.... Fuk em... We all love Leeds #MoT.

Ok, so I was goofin' around in my basement one day, and decided to try a cover of this, let me know whatcha think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ww_6Ehx2K8o

Why is that guy wearing a bra?

Awwww such an ego show (= love it! You deserve every single bit of it Amanda! ♥ love from germany!!!

everyone should catch up on her life now

MMMMM!!!!???!!

Did the dresden dolls break up? Or did she just go solo?

What is this song about? so curious. I love it but I want to know the meaning. A soccer league?

It's a song named after the football team Leeds United, one of the most successful in English history, who currently play in the Championship. The reason for the song is she dated the lead singer of the Kaiser Chiefs for a time, they're a pop/rock band from Leeds, and he gifted her a Leeds United jersey, which is where she heard of the team.

Technically blue and yellow is Leeds away kit

When you perform so hard that everyone fucking dies

Just good fun

Her voice is so interesting in this, kind of choppy in parts. I wonder if she's straining or its natural.

That's what makes it sexy and genuine instead of these robots that hit every note perfectly. True emotion and desire isn't perfect and there's cracks and strains in the voice. It's real and sincere.

The re"belly"on era. I love it.

GREAT BALLS OF FIRE !.......Do you think she screws her cousion ??

Love that midriff!

Leeds, Leeds, LEEDS!!!

Stephen Greenslade mot

This is probably one of my favourite Amanda Palmer filmclips. I can't help it that my gay self goes crazy over girls in suit jackets...

Martian same

perfect woman :)

honestly...its all sad

you too? sucks, doesn't it? of course one has to take responsibility for how one set things up in the first place.

This is one of the few songs I know where I have no fucking idea what it's about and I really don't even care.

LEEDS LEEDS LEEDS!

And... pout. :) x

I'm so confused. Is this about my football team??

@DarrelsDiamonds She used to date Ricky from kaiser chiefs he gave her a Leeds united jersey or something...she lost it or some shit and decided to write a song about leeds united. lol

Wow. And i thought i'd seen it all

ATMOSPHERE

YES! This song was on Season 1 Episode 8 of the Magicians! ^_^

That's where I'm coming from xD

This video was one of the reasons she split from her label...the suits said she looked too fat...one of them said. Look I'm a man and I know what men like. Can you believe that shit?

The only reason you would say she is fat is if you think that women are supposed to have six-packs.

I didn't say she was fat...a member of her record label told her they wanted to edit the video because THEY thought she looked fat. He said to her I'm a man and I know what men like. That's why she left Roadrunner Records and went out on her own.

I guess we're atypical men... I was just paying attention to the music. U.U

That cannot be true. Lots of fat female vocalists out there thriving. Even though Amanda is not fat at all, I'm just trying to say question what you hear. They also could have been making any excuse to get rid of her and couldn't say the real reason to protect themselves. Not saying that is right. In any event, It may not be the truth or maybe we're not getting the full story.

I think she looks rather skinny, perhaps needing a stodgy meal, but who cares about all that. I bet the Arsehole who said the F bomb was a big fat ugly cunt...and with NO musical ability or taste.

Amanda's mouth gesticulation level: Steam Powered Giraffe.

Holy shit yes!

Maybe that's where they got it from? I know Bunny is a big fan.

Quinn Let loose the cabaret!

As a Steam Powered Giraffe, I agree entirety

Absolutely.

At the end, that little pout she does! She's adorable! Lol!

It is the Hunger games and Amanda

Umm... I am not good at this type of thing but...

Is one of the football (soccer) guys coming in at about 1:30ish to about 1:50 her now husband & writer Neil something?

No disrespect intended, I am just really bad with names, faces & stuff...

But every time I see this video & that screen pops up, I can't help but think it's him...

Adam

I don't think any of the footballers is Neil Gaiman no. nothing wrong with asking though!

+MarkieFan200

Thanks, I am not good at that sort of thing & it's just for a split second...

best of luck

Adam

They had barely met by the time this video was made.

is the title of the song really just referencing the football team or is there something that i do not get?

http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=18576

This video & song are still so fantastic and one point. I love the entire atmosphere, especially the fancily-dressed gender non conforming individuals in the tables at the beginning. Is it just me or does one of them look just like the protag from Herstory? The one with the interesting nose. I loved her in this, did some sketches (that facial symmetry!!) Hope it is her.

She looks a lot like Desire from Sandman in this video. A coincidence? I THINK NOT

Uhmmm, maybe... maybe.

Everyone in the crowd are the people that hold the Hunger Games.

Look more like rejected rocky horror characters

Hahahahah yeah

@Living dead dolls junky OOF YOU RIGHT

amanda palmer in

Is that a Titan at 1:09

pause at 0:54 omfg

Amanda "F**king" Palmer ex Dresden Dolls Punk rock@Ktana Lynn Southern Comfort is not a whiskey, it is a liqueur.

I would let her fuck me

One of the showgirls looks a lot like Alison Brie.

wowww!!!!

Wow is correct.

Amanda... I... I.... I think you are hot <3

My god, I love your voice in this.

Didn't even spill her drink.

Ashley Dufault doubt it's physical...

I wish the [LUFC] players would try as hard as she does!

they're only on minimum wage.

sher gut Amanda Danke schôn!!!

Who needs love ...when the sandwiches are wicked and they know you at the mac store !

Favourite line ever

I'd love to have seen how people in the twenties would have reacted too a show like this, since it's in the style of those sorts of big roaring twenties shows.

+Hakudohshi there were only a few places that had shows like that, they weren't common in most countries. My Nan who was alive at the time (and in her 30s & 40s) would have been shocked to the core.

One of the most under-rated videos of all time.Yeah...she looks FAT? For fuck's sake, on my best day I wish I could look "fat" like her.

I love that her songs always have an interesting message and catchy lyrics! O.O <3

XD well actually a heck of those girls are white, with huge fake boobs and too much fake tan in tiny little shorts and cakey makeup. I think that's what this person is referring to- the style not the race. You so silly. Don't start hating on people unnecessarily.

0.48 attractive much?!

This song makes me want to cum in ways I wasn't expecting. Damn it, Amanda!! Quit fucking with the gay boys' brains. We wish we were as strong as you!

Ha! She slew them! And she says she's not the killing type :-D

i know next to nothing of soccer & rugby outside of gay porn (and that's how I like it), but I do know football (helmets) in the North American genre. i assume Leeds United is a failing soccer/rugby team... I replace that phrase with "Cincinnati Bengals". ;)

I think any guy that can pick girl apart is a pig and shouldn't be allowed to reproduce, it makes me ashamed to share the same sex organ as those pigs

meat bunny. anyone notice...no...kthanksbye

I hope you know, pretty Palmer, that you make my life so much brighter when it feels as though there are no lighting devices anywhere close by. And I love your cute faces in this video. And your tummy of course! <3

I think she's very inventive and talented. She's very entertaining!

I've gotta see a live show of this. Are the theatrics as grand, with Amanda's odd sense of humor written in the choreography?

Hey Luna, and who needs love when there's Southern Comfort, from mee to thee, your Beeast

Wauw what an artist!! Great song, great voice!! I just "discovered" her to day. What a great day :)

Looking fat is the least of her problems. They should have insisted on a bag for her head and somebody else to sing it. She's a disgusting, attention seeking narcissist who doesn't pay her musicians.

The shape of her mouth, her voice when it's husky....I think I might need some time alone.

Leeds United FC should make this their theme song.

It's a good song but it's not THAT good lol

legal.Estou gostando muito!

YouTube ha failed me but I fucking love you Amanda

Amazing talent. Gives me hope again for music and art

Who Killed Amanda Palmer
