Biography:
Amanda Palmer, Ben Folds, Damian Kulash (of OK Go), and Neil Gaiman collaborated on Monday 25th April 2011 to conduct an experiment titled “8 songs in 8 hours” for the ReThink music conference. The ambitious goal to write and record 8 songs in 8 hours fell short, resulting in 6 songs in 12 hours. The entire process was streamed live on youtube, lasting from 4 pm on April 22nd to 4 am on April 23rd.

Am C
I wish that Joan of Arc wouldn t hang around the park
F Fm
Pronouncing that she won t get burned again
Am C
Her armour s very shiny and her message is divine
F Fm
But I wish she d take a day off now and then
F E7
She said it clears your head when you come back from the dead
Am C
With your sword as sharp as anything that cuts
F E7
And to prove it she bisected three young tourists from Utrecht
E7 C
Which rapidly displayed a lot of guts
F E7
She says we need to raise a brand new army
Am C
And the flag of France so proudly she unfurled
F E7
And the people that she hated will be neatly bifurcated
E7 C
And the British will no longer rule the world
Am C
She says it was a mistake to let them burn her at the stake
F Fm
And she learned a lesson back there in the flames
Am C
So she s going to kill the queen and then she ll rescue Old Orleans
F Fm
And it s really hard to hang around with saints
F E7
I think I ought to tell her that the English left in failure
Am C
And they don t go back to France except on hols
F E7
But I saw her vivisect a man who wanted to correct her -
E7 C
And the playground soon resembled grand guignol
F E7
She says we need to raise a brand new army
Am C
And she marched us round until we couldn t stand
F E7
She says the nation she abhors will soon be writhing on the floor
E7 C
And the British will no longer rule her land
F E7
And she s waiting for the dauphin who will come across the ocean
Am C
And knows that God agrees with her complaints
F E7
So I m hoping that she ll ignore my English accent in her war
E7 C
Cause it s really hard to hang around with saints
F E7
She says we need to raise a brand new army
Am C
And the flag of France so proudly she unfurled
F E7
And the people that she hated will be neatly bifurcated
E7
And the British will no longer rule
E7
the British will no longer rule
E7 C
the British will no longer rule the world
