516 I listened to The Bastard Fairies 10+ years ago and they are absolutely part of who I am today. Their songs have stuck with me since my high school years and i will continue to sing my heart out to their songs for years to com. I only now discovered the lead singer, Yellow Thunder Woman, passed away in August of 2021. I love The Bastard Fairies. And please watch The Canary Effect, it was co-directed by her. RIP Yellow Thunder Woman.

Love,
a big fan Favorite track: We're All Going To Hell.

All I need is a catheter and lobotomy Everything will be clean and clear and clutter-free Take my hand and we'll go off to the promised land Tip-toe through the tulips, vacancy is so grand It's a union made in heaven Everyone will attend our reception Consummate with no conception Our world will be perfection I'll have a hysterectomy And we'll live our lives problem-free No need to think independently Your vasectomy will make our world complete It's a union made in heaven Everyone will attend our reception Consummate with no conception Our world will be perfection We'll talk alike, we'll act alike We'll never fight We'll eat the same, dress the same We are the same Proverbial monogomy Ménage à trois - that's not for me We two are one, it's not for some But it's all that I need It's a union made in heaven Everyone will attend our reception Consummate with no conception Our world will be perfection It's the greatest love song (x7) It's the greatest, greatest love song

Apple Pie 03:06
I'm the life of the party, I'm always smiling On the surface I'm as happy as can be And I don't watch the news and I don't read the papers And I don't like chicken soup for the soul Do you wanna share my apple pie? I don't understand why people cry Cant we all just get along Everybody, come on When things get heavy I'll change the subject And I'll talk about ice cream and teddy bears Everytime you tell me about your problems I get rigid and scared and I shut off Do you wanna share my apple pie? I don't understand why people cry Cant we all just get along Everybody, come on I've never been sad 'Cause of lack of emotion I'm very, very glad I've never been real 'Cause my armour means I never have to feel Do you wanna share my apple pie? I don't understand why people cry Cant we all just get along Everybody, come on I don't dig confrontation, I keep my mouth shut But I lie to save my own ass People talk of politics and people talk of war And I don't know why they're so upset Uh-uh Do you wanna share my apple pie? I don't understand why people cry Cant we all just get along Everybody, come on Everybody, come on Everybody, come on

When I wake I wash my hands, I wash my face I do it all over again In the morning I take my pills, I wash my hands And I panic and do it again You know I'm a systematic victim I'm a systematic victim Uh-huh In the afternoon I leave my house, I check the door And I close it and close it again All I think about is parasites, bacteria and germs Diseases galore You know I'm a systematic victim I'm a systematic victim Uh-huh I can't stand still I can't sit down I can't stop my world from going 'round Repetition, reiteration Periodic rinse and repeat Before slumber, is the gas off? Is the door locked? I check it and I check it again Wash my hands, I brush my teeth, I wash my face I think I'll do it again You know I'm a systematic victim I'm a systematic victim Uh-huh I can't stand still I can't sit down I can't stop my world from going 'round Repetition, reiteration Periodic rinse and repeat I can't stand still I can't sit down I can't stop my world from going 'round Repetition, reiteration Periodic rinse and repeat I can't stand still I can't sit down I can't stop my world from going 'round Repetition, reiteration Periodic rinse and repeat

Just let me be, don't pretend we are friends I let you hurt, don't call me again Cold turkey never felt so fine My thirst for you is running dry 'Cause I've slept around When you thought I was yours All that time I was with I was with the boy next door The things I've done, no forgiveness now I know I might end up in hell Life is short and sweet, they say But I've been told in the end I'll pay 'Cause I've slept around When you thought I was yours All that time I was with I was with the boy next door Many times I tried to be true But you know it's a lie Endorphins, heartaches All that shit is a chemical waste on you 'Cause I've slept around When you thought I was yours All that time I was with I was with the boy next door

Every thing I said was a lie But you got to understand I'm a human and I want you Yes I need you, just to like me You think that you've seen All the bones in my closet But you got to realize I am always in disguise Yes I need you and I want you Just to like me Wont you just understand That the real me is too much for you Honestly trust me I will always deceive oh yeah I know that it seems That I'm always in your dreams But its not really true its all just a coup because you want me and you need me just to like you You laid in my bed and what lingered in your head was a venomous tale of something off the scale 'Cause you want me, you need me Just to like you Wont you just understand That the real me is too much for you Honestly trust me I will always deceive oh yeah You're in love with a fantasy You'll digress with great appease Your comfort zone is being invaded with a shadow thats belated Wont you just understand That the real me is too much for you Honestly trust me I will always deceive oh yeah

I lost faith in those around me I lost faith in those up above I lost faith in my lovers I lost faith in myself Everyone has a secret Everyone has a past My one lonely secret Is gonna be my last I will carry it with me 'til I lie in my grave And my body won't rest 'til I bury my shame And my conscience consumes with the force of a gun And this burden is heavy, I've nowhere left to run I've experienced fortune I've experienced fame Money makes strange bedfellows Friendship is the price I pay I have drank all my sadness I have smoked all my pain And there's no-one left to help me And there's no-one left to blame I will carry it with me 'til I lie in my grave And my body won't rest 'til I bury my shame And my conscience consumes with the force of a gun And this burden is heavy, I've nowhere left to run Is it over now? Lord, tell me how Time to hide my tracks Time to cover my back Time to cover my back Time to cover my back Time to cover my back Time to cover my back I will carry it with me 'til I lie in my grave And my body won't rest 'til I bury my shame And my conscience consumes with the force of a gun And this burden is heavy, I've nowhere left to run

Ever since I was a little girl I was enamoured with little dolls Ever since I was a little girl I was consumed by little guns Now it's all I think about Dolls and guns, guns and dolls Now it's all I think about Dolls and guns, guns and dolls I can't sleep and I can't eat With the contemplation of these things My psychic warned me all about The complications that these things bring But it's all I think about Dolls and guns, guns and dolls But it's all I think about Dolls and guns, guns and dolls Now my parents are so ashamed And all my friends are so afraid It vexes me to be this way But I can't help but stay the same Intervention didn't help Where they sent me, I got out Lord knows that I have tried To change my ways to change my life But it's all I think about Dolls and guns, guns and dolls But it's all I think about Dolls and guns, guns and dolls But it's all I think about Dolls and guns, guns and dolls

Give me an IV 'cause I'll take it easily Give me anaesthesia 'cause I'm used to this, you see Take my kidney 'cause I won't use it today Take my tonsils 'cause I don't need them anyway I'm just five years old and I don't know why I'm here Now I'm six years old and I'm being told that the end is near Well I'm seven now and they take my blood three times a day All I wanna do is play Give me morphine just to take away the pain I asked the doc how long I've got but he couldn't say Take my appendix 'cause I think it's going bad Take my frontal lobe 'cause I think I'm going mad I am eight now and I just sit and watch the news Now I'm nine and I'm the only kid with the blues I am ten now and they take my blood three times a day All I wanna do is play

Memento Mori 03:03
Sometimes you think you're untouchable Just look behind you, you are but a man Sometimes you think things can't get worse Just look behind you, you are but a man So eat, drink and be merry For tomorrow you may be dead Eat, drink and be merry For tomorrow you may be dead The struggle for life you know never ends So look behind you, you are but a man Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief Look behind you, you are but a man So eat, drink and be merry For tomorrow you may be dead Eat, drink and be merry For tomorrow you may be dead Realise we share the same fate Understand your own mortality Our lives are getting shorter every day Pretty soon there will be no you and me So eat, drink and be merry For tomorrow you may be dead Eat, drink and be merry For tomorrow you may be dead Sieze the day, you know it's gonna end Look behind you, you are but a man Dance footloose across the earth And look behind you, you are but a man So eat, drink and be merry For tomorrow you may be dead Eat, drink and be merry For tomorrow you may be dead
