I love this album so damn much it's ridiculous. Like, I know that Amanda's voice is an acquired taste, kinda like Conor Oberst's, and so many people hear Dolls songs who haven't been accustomed to her style, and just don't appreciate the huuuge amount of talent it takes to take a keyboard and a drumset and make freaking fabulous music.

This post is going to fill itself with Dolls quotes from the first and second albums, because Amanda Palmer should be granted goddess status.

"you’re all alone you’re all over  
the popular magazines will never care what do you care
you’re down with the japanese
but you’ve got no right to sit there saying I abuse it
when you only sleep with girls who say they like your music" -backstabber

"and sappy songs about sex and cheating
bland accounts of two lovers meeting
make me want to give mankind a beating" -bad habit

"and you thought you could change the world
by opening your legs
well it isn't very hard
try kicking them instead"
"you're an unrescuable schizo
or else you're on the rag
if you take him back
i'm gonna lose my nerve
i never met a more impossible girl...." -delilah

"the first orgasm of the morning
is like a fire drill
it's nice to have a little warning
but not enjoyable" -first orgasm [what makes me happiest about this song is the fact that it's followed by a song called "Mrs. O"]

"i picked up the pieces of my broken ego
i have finally made my peace as far as you and me go
but i'd love to have you up to see the place
& i'd like to do more than survive i'd like to rub it in your face" -good day

"and when i let him in i feel my stitches getting sicker
i try to wash him out but like she said:the blood is thicker" -half jack

"I've been feeling dull as a coat hanger
pretty as a picture of a patient on a fresh iv
giddy as a gangbanger with a set of sutures where his magic johnson ought to be" -mandy goes to med school [who loves the fact that the first line of a song about abortion has the phrase "dull as a coat hanger" in it? oh, that's right, I DO. this song is my favourite song in the UNIVERSE.]

"they're a wild bunch
but if they just knew
what my night was coming to
god would they vomit and run" -me & the minibar

"missed me missed me now you've got to kiss me
if you kiss me mister you must think im pretty
if you think so mister you must want to fuck me
if you fuck me mister it must mean you love me
if you love me mister you would never leave me
it's as simple as can be!" -missed me

"god, I love communicating!
I just hate the shit we're missing" -modern moonlight

"I’ll be on my best behavior
taking shots for mother nature
once my fist is in the cupboard
love is never falling over " -my alcoholic friends

"of course i love you and of course it's what's inside that matters
but i think the whole charade is ending" -sex changes

"and she's been trying with limited success
to get him to turn out the lights and dance
cause like any girl all she really wants
that fickle little bitch romance" -shores of california

"but with every jeep i see
my broken heart still skips a beat
i guess its just my stupid luck
that all of boston drives that same black fucking truck" -the jeep song

"can't you do it for me, i'll pay you well
fuck i'll pay you anything if you could end this" -the perfect fit

"i am the ground zero ex-friend you ordered
disgused as a hero to get past your borders
i know when i'm wanted i'll leave when you ask me to
mind my own business and speak when i'm spoken to" -truce

hahaaha sorry about that, i'm done now. ^_^
