Palmer, Amanda - The Killing Type Lyrics
I wouldn't kill to win a war
I don't get what they do it for
It's all so terribly vague
I see the pictures from a thousand years of battle
And I think it's such a bore
I walk New Orleans with a knife
Like Mackie hidden out of sight
But I'd be useless if they jumped
I'm really not the killing type
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
I'm not, I'm not
I'm not the killing type, I'm not
I've got a picture of your mum
Before the war when she was young
She's got an etching to her right
I think it's funny that she's looking to the left
And it's her son
I wouldn't kill to get you back
And I've officially been asked
I couldn't kill to save a life
I'd rather a die a peaceful piece of shit-bait
Shame-filled coward
Thanks
I'm not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
I'm not, I'm not
I'm not the killing type, I'm not
But I would kill to make you feel
I don't mean kill someone for real
I couldn't do that, it is wrong
But I can say it in a song, a song, a song
And I'm saying it now
I'm saying it so
Even if you never hear this song
Somebody else would know
I'm saying it now
I'm saying it so
Even if you never hear this song
Somebody else will know, know, know, know
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't describe
I once stepped on a dying bird
It was a mercy killing
I couldn't sleep for a week
I kept feeling its breaking bones
I heard that if you see a star at night
And the conditions are just right
And you are standing on a cliff
Then you can close your eyes
And make a wish and take a step
And change somebody's life
I'm not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
I'm not, I'm not
I'm not the killing type, I'm not
But I would kill to make you feel
I'd kill to move your face an inch
I see you staring into space
I wanna stick my fist into your mouth
And twist your Arctic heart
Yes, I would kill to make you feel
I don't mean kill someone for real
I couldn't do that, it is wrong
But I can say it in a song, a song, a song
And I'm saying it now
I'm saying it so
Even if you never hear this song
Somebody else would know
I'm saying it now
I'm saying it so
Even if you never hear this song
Somebody else will know, know, know, know
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't describe-ibe-ibe-ibe
Die, die, die, die, die, die, die, die
I'm not the killing type

alright this is a little weird but I love your face, it's so intense and beautiful and real
Who's here after listening to Billie Eilish on Howard Stern?
I remember seeing this MV in seventh grade on vacation and being so fascinated by her perform. I just remember the chorus and thus the song name and am watching it now in 2019 :’) so happy
after all these years this is still a whole bop
Total bullshit song, highly derivative sound of Siouxsie and the Banshees, who wrote MUCH BETTER material. This girl REALLY thinks way too highly of her stupid self. UGH! NEXT!
Okay broken Social Scene
Who is here after the ted talk?
Sounds much better at 1.75 speed
I don’t know a woman who hasn’t felt this.
It's evident that it's all fake but the idea... There's little to say that this videoclip is "Monstrous"!! Specially 'cuz she's a woman! Sometimes I really can't believe that it's allowed to people to do videoclips like this!
Thumbs up for Friday the 13th.
My own interpretation of this song was maybe that the girl was in a relationship ( or maybe liked someone from afar ) where the other person doesn't return the feelings or maybe they are distant. "I'd kill to move your face an inch" makes me think that maybe the singer wants badly to impress the partner who might not take an interest in what she does. ( or maybe a lack of attention in the relationship. )
Tears...the shit is real. Even the most fragile soul's grow fangs if the pain is enough to force the change
Hottest video I’ve seen.
2019 💜
Youre not lady gaga m8, but Any lady sharp enough to wear black stockings and suspies on some of her videos has deffo got my vote..more pls.........H6 ( who reads this stuff ,anyway > )
that blood on white aesthetic reminds me of carrie
I really want to send this to a lost friend of mine.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand
demonitized
Irresponsible..
This is so gross.
Jinkx Monsoon realness
When you plough the bitch at night and think she's more moist than usual down below but brush it off as her being extra horny.... until you finish and flick the lights on to go and take a slash....
This reminds me of joyriding by frnkiero andthe cellabration
JFC, this hit harder than I expected.
All of this about a squirrel
Love is an easy word to say.
Unlike this video as it compels me to replay it time and time again.
This Amanda Palmer is unlike anyone else. A good thing I would suggest.
This is the mentality of an abuser. This is about controlling someone. This is horrible.
she's not promoting it, just singing about it, not every song can be happy sometimes they're just truthful.
Jinx monsoon Runway looks 💕
Cool 😍
After seeing this all I can say is: No I will not go out with you Amanda. (screamed as I run for my life)
I known her by playing Life is strange, a video game. I like her a lot. She follows her heart. His interview is inspiring me a lot. Nice woman.
Amanda could kill me in my sleep and i’d thank her for it
crush me please
Can someone make a video with this song bass boosted
Amanda explained meaning of the song. When she went on tour. I appreciate this song song. Even more now.
I've loved this song for a while, but I never thought I would feel it.
Arschloch ! Ich werde dich finden.
FRIEDE SEI MIT DIR!!MFG WILHELMWABECK GRÜßE AUS ÖSTERREICH
This reminds me of The Cars for some reason
Sorry my words of kindness vansished some dirt bag hacker hijacked my account
Powerful, (seemingly) honest. Just discovered this artist. Looking forward to more.
I've been searching this song for 5 hours!
So happy to find it ^^
is that neil gaiman on the bed?
IstillLOVEthissong!
Love her voice and the songwriting is amazing
I guess, that really cleaver people are listening to this songs. And looking in comments i can confirm that she got pretty cleaver crowd fun base.
In the thumbnail she looks like Michelle visage
I cannot believe this was SEVEN years ago.
A queen
why isnt the whole album on spotify anymore, it was removed from my playlist like 1 day ago
Leave Patreon, they support nazis.
Amanda I love you
This is disgusting and if you cant see that then you probably deserve whats coming to you.
this SONG IS SUCH A BOP
LIKE ITS SO FREAKING GOOD
I've loved this song since 1985, when 'Til Tuesday released it under the title "Voices Carry". Fantastic remake!
To much blood for my dry heart
Not much autotune it's really good! LOVE ITTT!!😊
muito bom, Sou do Brasil
I wouldn't kill to win a war
I don't get what they do it for
It's all so terribly vague
I've seen the pictures from a thousand years of battle and I think
It's such a bore
I walk New Orleans with a knife
It might be hidden out of sight
But I'd be useless if they jumped
I'm really not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
I'm not I'm not
I'm not the killing type
I've got a picture of your mom
Before the war when she was young
She's got an etching to the right
I think it's funny that she's looking to the left
And it's a sign
I wouldn't kill to get you back
I've officially been asked
I couldn't kill to save a life
I'd rather die in peace (?)
I'm not the killing type
I'm not the killing type
I'm not I'm not
I'm not the killing type
I'm not
I would kill to make you feel
I don't mean kill someone for real
I couldn't do that, it is wrong
But I can say it in a song
A song a song
And I'm saying it now
And I'm saying it so
Even if you never hear this song, someone else will know
I'm saying it now
I'm saying it so
Even if you never hear this song, someone else will know
I just can't explain how good it feels
I just can't explain how good it feels
Her Ted Talk brought me here. I'm not disappointed.
2018? Someone else?
um... yeah. mediocre music, edgy video, and terrible eyebrows. damn it woman, at least fix your face
reminds me of the love affair I have with my wife and several women.
Amanda, honey, are you doing alright?

I fucking love YOU
so you love a scam artist yh nice one
I really think Amanda Palmer is one of the greatest songwriters I have ever come across. The honesty and vulnerability in the lyrics, the story telling, the imagery... It is all so striking and unique.
I would never have become a songwriter without hearing the early Dresden Dolls albums.
Such a brilliant performer... Holds nothing back.

Wow, this video is so aesthetically pleasing. And her acting is really good, it makes you feel the song so much.

THIS GIRL is the female Marilyn Manson
I forgot how great she is... Thanks for the reminder
i forgot about when she tried to scam small musicians thanks for the reminder
ohh, how nice, she is a tranny.
I love her music,in a way she's everything I don't want to be but I relate to her.its weird how music can make you feel,I dunno how to explain it,I know I love her swing like expression
What a bloody mess.
That eyebrows
I love Amanda Palmer!
She has this sort of 'style' that you can just recognize.
Like looking in a mirror
From your pic that's a good thing (;
The first time I watch this I thought he was actually died then I watched it more then once and he's not XD am The only one also I understand the meaning of the song now
Still loving this song, Amanda is so passionate <3
