there is this thing that's like fucking except you don't fuck
back in the day it just went without saying at all
all the worlds history, gradually dying of shock
there is this thing that's like talking except you don't talk
you
sing
you
sing
sing for the bartender, sing for the janitor , sing
sing for the cameras, sing for the animals, sing
sing for the children, shooting the children, sing
sing for the teachers who told you couldn't sing
just
sing
there is this thing keeping everyones lungs and lips locked
it is called fear and its seeing a great renaissance
after the show you can not sing wherever you want
but for now lets just pretend we're all gonna get found
so sing
sing 'cause it's obvious, sing for the astronauts, sing
sing for the president, sing for the terrorist, sing
sing for the soccer team, sing for the janjaweed sing
sing for the kid with the phone who refuses to sing
just sing
life is no cabaret
we'd don't care what you say
we're inviting you anyway
back in the day it just went without saying at all
all the worlds history, gradually dying of shock
there is this thing that's like talking except you don't talk
you
sing
you
sing
sing for the bartender, sing for the janitor , sing
sing for the cameras, sing for the animals, sing
sing for the children, shooting the children, sing
sing for the teachers who told you couldn't sing
just
sing
there is this thing keeping everyones lungs and lips locked
it is called fear and its seeing a great renaissance

sing for the president, sing for the terrorist, sing
sing for the soccer team, sing for the janjaweed sing

Recently (about three weeks ago) TRP supported Amanda Palmer at her solo show in Brisbane, and for any American's who are keen to get to know TRP better - they'll be in the USA in late April. Not sure if they'll be touring - but they'll be playing at least one show in California, and we're hoping they'll get a slot at Coachella :o)
"Sing", by the Dresden Dolls who i love with all of my Heart and Soul, covered by this band who i am really warming to... i feel a new obsession coming on...
some people might get confused.
maybe if it had (cover) in brackets or whatever.
anyways I do plan on getting the FTW cd eventually.
:)
As for this song, the version that's on the Feed the Wolf EP has the lyrics that Motherwar_xx has.

The strings on this cover are insanely beautiful.
i haven't actually heard this cover yet though.
this is a song written by the incredible and beautiful amanda palmer of the dresden dolls.
she said she's always been unsure about the kids at shows singing along to her songs, so this song is a reaction to that.
Trash changed them when TRPs covered it.
"There's this thing thats like touching except you dont touch"
And the cover is amaaaazing. You should get the album if you can.
