#dresden dolls

A few dynamic duos in music, some of which have sadly disbanded. Whether they are siblings, friends, or lovers, they are proof that sometimes two are better than one.

I love this meme but I need to let it go

The Dresden Dolls - Good Day (Live: In Paradise 2005)

So you don’t wanna hear about my good song?
You don’t wanna hear about how I am getting on
With all the things that I can get done
The sun is in the sky and I am by my lonesomeSo you don’t wanna hear about my good day?
You have better things to do than to hear me say
God, it’s been a lovely day, everything’s been going my way
I took out the trash today and I’m on fireSo you don’t wanna hear about my good friends
You don’t have the guts to take the truth or consequence
Success is in the eye of the beholder
And it’s looking even better over your cold shoulderI’m not suggesting you get to line me up for questioning
But Jesus think about the bridges you are burning and I’m betting
That even though you knew it from the start
You’d rather be a bitch than be an ordinary broken heartSo go ahead and talk about your bad day
I want all the details of the pain and misery
That you are inflicting on the others
I consider them my sisters and I want their numbersGod, it’s been a lovely day, everything’s been going my way
I took up croquet today, I’m on fire
I picked up the pieces of my broken ego
I have finally made my peace as far as you and me goBut I’d love to have you up to see the place
I’d like to do more than survive, I’d like to rub it in your faceHey, it’s been a lovely day, everything is going my way
I had so much fun today and I’m on fire
God, it’s been a lovely day every thing’s been going my way
Ever since you went away, hey, I’m on fireI’m on fire, I’m on fire, I’m on
I’m on fire, I’m on fire
I’m on fire, I’m on
So you don’t wanna hear about my good day?

I could make a dress
A robe fit for a prince
I could clothe a continent
But i can’t sew a stitch

I can paint my face
And stand very very still
Its not very practical
But it still pays the bills

I can’t change my name
But i could be your type
I can dance and win at games
Like backgammon and life

I used to be the smart one
Sharp as a tack
Funny how that skipping years ahead
Has held me back

I used to be the bright one
Top in my class
Funny what they give you when you
Just learn how to ask

I can write a song
But i cant sing in key
I can play piano
But i never learned to read

I can’t trap a mouse
But i can pet a cat
No i’m really serious!
I’m really very good at that

I can’t fix a car
But i can fix a flat
I could fix alot of things
But i’d rather not get into that

I used to be the bright one
Smart as a whip
Funny how you slip so far when
Teachers dont keep track of it

I used to be the tight one
The perfect fit
Funny how those compliments can
Make you feel so full of it

I can shuffle cut and deal
But i can’t draw a hand
I can’t draw a lot of things
I hope you understand
I’m not exceptionally shy
But i’ve never had a man
That i could look straight in the eye
And tell my secret plans

I can take a vow
And i can wear a ring
And i can make you promises but
They won’t mean a thing

Can’t you do it for me, i’ll pay you well
Fuck i’ll pay you anything if you could end this

Can’t you just fix it for me, it’s gone berserk…
Fuck i’ll give you anything if
You can make the damn thing work

Can’t you just fix it for me, ill pay you well,
Fuck ill pay you anything
If you can end this
Hello, i love you will you tell me your name?
Hello, i’m good for nothing - will you love me just the same?
