Mary's Surgeon Lyrics

Cover art for Mary's Surgeon lyrics by Amanda Palmer

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."
