Amanda Palmer – Mary's Surgeon Lyrics 18 years ago
this song is about a anorexic and her problem leads to her death after it gettin so bad she is admitted into medical care

i think she is dying in this song,theres an eary tone to this song,alightly ghostly

"Mary's surgeon
Called me urgent
Get down to ward
And take...my god!
Who would date me in the dark
And for this labor
I was savoured
Tender and braindead
It went to my head "


But you will look
Staring at your face reflected in the fetid water
What shadows will it cast today
Familiar smells of fresh decay
You wish that you could flush yourself away
Complicitly leave your mark

more refferences to self abuse and death



the anorexics thought while in her death bed

Mary's running away where we can't find her [in other words shes not running anywhere shes dying]

Far away from smells that would remind her
Her hometown has burned down

It's contagious [ i know some people who have been anorexic and iv nearly become that myself it iss contagious]

Lord God, save us [because shes dying]

im sorry if that answer is all over the place but you get the just


does anyone know what Brand new flavour
I can savour andBut you will look
Staring at your face reflected in the fetid water
What shadows will it cast today means in this song thanks
