Provanity by Amanda Palmer. This song was in the b-sides for Theatre is Evil.

Lyrics:

i have been provanity since i was 10

i put your altars in an eye shadow den

in the bag i didn't drop there were no cherry lollipops

but cherry lips SMACK her i sawed her off

marry many picked a pepper on and

cameras are rolling back and forth on the rocks

and i'm sick of your smile

and i'm sick of your face

and i'm sick of your meaningless blather

and i'm sick of your hair and i wish it weren't there

it's a awfully delicate matter

there is no place i would rather be killed

than in my own backyard on my own propane grill

in the lie i didn't stop a little candy-coated boy was caught

and i felt bad as i ripped him off

many prizes can reward a child for good behavior

but you should be wary of those that involve love

and i'm sick when i breathe

and i wish you would leave

at the very least quit the contractions

it's not wrong, i mean christ, but i don't think it's right

to just slice for a piece of the action

oh what a wonderful party

oh what a comfortable home

oh what a wonderful body

so what's in the bottle,

what's in the bottle?

(it is so comfortable...)

i have been provanity since i could know

no one will ever care to see what i don't show

in the room i kept her locked she grew up talking just like me

i thought she would be different and withstand the shock

imitating what she knew she consequently grew into a

pair of M40s and seventh-hand shoes

and i'm sick of myself

and i wish you could help

have a shot with me pull up a ladder

oh it sounds like that spirit we haven't been hearing

since 1916 when the dada came dearing

and maybe

you'd be

happy

to be

provanity

Does anyone have the original, raw version of Provanity? I got it from AutomaticJoy about ten years ago, but my HDD crashed and can't find that version anywhere. If someone would upload it, it would be much appreciated. Thanks AFP fans :)

somebody beat me to uploading it. If you haven't already found it, it's the top hit when you search Amanda Palmer Assistant. It's a lyric video

Anyone else want to know the story behind the line "Have a shot with me, pull up a ladder."? 3:04

Thank you so much for uploading this! I missed out on the Kickstarter, and this is one of my favorite old AFP songs, so I'd been dying for an updated, cleaner-sounding version of it... when I found out it was a Kickstarter exclusive after the whole thing was over, I was really upset, but it's here, so... thank you!
