Mary's Surgeon Lyrics
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
And we kept our lives
If your mouth keeps going where your mind won't go
You don't want to choke so chew it slowly
Nibble the edges on the kitchen floor
If it suits your taste, taste some more
If youre worried that it's bitter like a barbie doll
Hold your nose and swallow it all
If youre worried that it's all gonna go to your hips
Roll it round your rosy lips
If youre worried that it's all gonna go to your thighs
Close your eyes for a big surprise....
And Mary's Surgeon
Called me certain
Brand new flavour
I can savour
Such pity for the part
Mary's running away where we can't find her
Far away from smells that would remind her
Her hometown has burned down
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
And Mary's surgeon
Called me urging
Lord God, save us
It's contagious
It's contagious
It's contagious
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
If your mouth keeps going where your mind won't go
You don't want to choke so chew it slowly
Nibble the edges on the kitchen floor
If it suits your taste, taste some more
If youre worried that it's bitter like a barbie doll
Hold your nose and swallow it all
If youre worried that it's all gonna go to your hips
Roll it round your rosy lips
If youre worried that it's all gonna go to your thighs
Close your eyes for a big surprise....
Called me certain
Brand new flavour
I can savour
Such pity for the part
Far away from smells that would remind her
Her hometown has burned down
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
Called me urging
Lord God, save us
It's contagious
It's contagious
It's contagious

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
stupid contentious technicality, but i'm feeling a more bulimic vibe here, "Staring at your face reflected in the fetid water " being the toilet after you've just purged it.
A very powerful song about a girl struggling with bulimia. The feeling of horror and disgust with oneself is so aptly expressed in the lyrics that I can't help but think that Mary experienced something even more gruesome --- say, her hometown was torched because it was the subject of a germ warfare test (If you read into the story of Manchukuo, you'd see what I was getting at)
And some double entendres --- "brand new flavour, I can savour" could be "brand new flavour, I can't save her."
