Dear Jenny Lyrics
boys wear overcoats in heat like this to keep themselves from showing
girls fill out prescriptions for the tricks that keep their hearts from growing
specialists review the year in tears and call for drastic measures
send them to resorts for boys and girl to get their shit together
sad but true the facts of life are bound to get you down
so whats the use dear jenny anyway the world is pretty...
ashley talks to astronauts back home by way of fax transmission
andy gets a new tattoo each time he gets back bathroom privledge
weary o so drealiy we wave our flags into the camera
amber goes berserk completely she's been here since last december
sad but true the truth can turn your smile to a frown
so whats the use dear jenny anyway the world is pretty
upside-down...
the rates are better in the summer
looks like dear jenny's doing better...
back at home the broadcast warning bounces off of an empty table
jenny asks the astronauts to sleep with her behind the stable
christmas hasn't been the same since dad put in the central heating
checks you before bedtime with a battery to keep your new heart beating
and the world might turn a million times around before
they tell you jenny anyway the world is pretty world is pretty happy world is pretty happy
sometimes they let strangers in and other times they check their records
when they check out in the morning dad puts out the lie detectors
jenny prays to gods she've never heard of for a special warning
all the walls stay dead as jennys heart is
but shes still observing
sad but true the highgloss gloss paint wont tell you what to do
so whats the use dear jenny anyway
the world is happy
world is happy
world is happy without you...
the rates are better in the summer....
looks like old jennys doing better...
girls fill out prescriptions for the tricks that keep their hearts from growing
specialists review the year in tears and call for drastic measures
send them to resorts for boys and girl to get their shit together
so whats the use dear jenny anyway the world is pretty...
andy gets a new tattoo each time he gets back bathroom privledge
weary o so drealiy we wave our flags into the camera
amber goes berserk completely she's been here since last december
so whats the use dear jenny anyway the world is pretty
upside-down...
looks like dear jenny's doing better...
jenny asks the astronauts to sleep with her behind the stable
christmas hasn't been the same since dad put in the central heating
checks you before bedtime with a battery to keep your new heart beating
they tell you jenny anyway the world is pretty world is pretty happy world is pretty happy
when they check out in the morning dad puts out the lie detectors
jenny prays to gods she've never heard of for a special warning
all the walls stay dead as jennys heart is
but shes still observing
so whats the use dear jenny anyway
the world is happy
world is happy
world is happy without you...
looks like old jennys doing better...

It's about a psychiatric hostpital. There are many expamples of people in need of some help. "...andy gets a new tattoo each time he gets back bathroom privledge..." Andy is a person who commits acts of self injury. "boys wear overcoats in heat like this to keep themselves from showing..." This is about a person who flashes. And it seems to me that Jenny has some form of depression because she feels that the world is happier with out her.
A song about a home helping those with eating disorders.
"boys wear overcoats in heat like this to keep themselves from showing" - Even in the Summer they have to wear large clothes to stop their bony bodies from showing
"specialists review the year in tears and call for drastic measures send them to resorts for boys and girl to get their shit together" - when there's no other resort, they have to send them away
"sad but true the facts of life are bound to get you down" - health implications
"andy gets a new tattoo each time he gets back bathroom privledge" - bulimic patients aren't allowed to go to the bathroom, in case they're leaving their drip to go and purge
"when they check out in the morning dad puts out the lie detectors" - asking if they REALLY ate or not
"all the walls stay dead as jennys heart is but shes still observing" - dead = lifeless, no energy
"sad but true the highgloss gloss paint wont tell you what to do" = magazines can't tell you how to live
Anyone know where I can download this song? It sounds interesting.

It's not shared, this and Battered Bride are not shared. They've been recorded but the taper does not want to share it with anyone. It's their decision, but Who Killed Amanda Palmer? will be coming out soon so maybe we'll hear it then.

I can't wait until May 20th! I finally get to hear this song! Hooray for No, Virginia!!
No, Virginia is amazing. This song is great but the lyrics are slightly different on the official version! It doesn't hint so much to it being a mental-asylum...
