Amanda desde niña aprendió a tocar el piano gracias a su madre. Creció en Lexington, Massachusetts. Ella asistió a la escuela secundaria de Lexington, donde estaba muy envuelta en el departamento de drama, y recibió su licenciatura en Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Wesleyan. Organizó actuaciones basadas en el trabajo de los Legendary Pink Dots. Y formó The Shadowbox Collective, consagrada a montar muestras teatrales, actos de teatro callejero.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
G So, you wanted D That's what you get for wanting
You got it Em That's what you get for getting
Forgotten B You're gardening a rotting bed
Of raygun-era icons
G So
Let's start it
Let's start it D From the minute you felt it Em You felt it like a prison
A panic, you felt it B Like that coffee scene
From Moscow on the Hudson
G So
...Be honest D It's not as if you're happy about it Em It's not as if you're animatronic C It's not as if you couldn't
Cry out any time you wanted
C Olly olly oxen free D All the people you will never be C Olly olly oxen free D Olly olly olly olly
Olly olly olly olly
G Fate
You call it
You color it D The color you want it
You carpet it Em That's awful convenient B You paint yourself a nice white room
With stripes and matching curtains
G So
You forfeit D You cannot build a river across it Em You cannot hold your own heart hostage C You do not have the strength
To gag yourself in every closet
G The wrong place, wrong mind
Timing's always bad D You're such a sad case
Misplaced renaissance Em Inventor of a worldwide
Heartbreak, taking it in stride C 'Cause you're an expert
Aren't you?
Aren't you just a dime a dozen? G Murderous monosyllabic moron
With no sense of purpose D Working on your songs all night
To justify your worthlessness Em To anyone who's watching
If they only saw your alter egos C Pretty in the shop windows
Where you got auctioned hours ago
C Olly olly oxen free D All the people you will never be C Olly olly oxen free D olly olly olly olly
Higher than the king can
C See no evil, hear no evil D Capture me and throw the key C See no evil, hear no evil D Capture me and throw the key away
Throw the key away
G So
It's over D You're lying in a coffin of clutter Em Your father and your sister, your drummer B Are sorting through your Soft Cell tapes G And lifesaver collection, and you wonder D You wonder if you could've done better Em You wonder if you should've surrendered
Before you learned that C Nobody actually wants a fucking martyr
C Didn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see? D Didn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see? C Didn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see me? D Didn't you, didn't you, didn't
Didn't you see me?
C Olly olly oxen free D All the people you will never be C Olly olly oxen free D olly olly olly olly
Higher than the king can
C See no evil, hear no evil D Capture me and throw the key C See no evil, hear no evil D Capture me and throw the key away C Throw the key away D Throw the key away
