Australia Lyrics

Lyric discussion by eelylove 

Cover art for Australia lyrics by Amanda Palmer

When I saw Amanda live last year, she played this song. She said (from memory):

"I just broke up with my boyfriend of a few years and I was talking to my friend in Scotland. He said, yeah, it hurts that you break up with him, but y'know. I CAN DO ALL THIS STUFF NOW THAT I'M NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP!"

Amanda wrote this as a song of "should I/shouldn't I?" and its a song about hope nonetheless.

Hope it helped :)
