Biography

The duo of The Dresden Dolls make music based around arrangements of drums (by Brian), piano and vocals (by Amanda), which they call their style of music "Brechtian Punk Cabaret". They started in mid-2000 in Boston, Massachusetts, releasing a compilation of live tracks, then their self-titled debut album. In spring 2005, they got set up as the opening band for [a=Nine Inch Nails], even without [A=Trent Reznor] attending any of their live shows beforehand. As of September 2008 the band are on an indefinate hiatus while Amanda works on her solo career and Brian plays with other bands. -- - -- - -- - -- Notes on the band: Dresden Dolls are dolls made from a delicate porcelain from the German city of Dresden; then there's Dresden's history of being firebombed at the end of World War II in 1945. The "Brechtian" part of "Brechtian Punk Cabaret" comes from 20th-century German poet, playwright, and theatrical reformer, [A=Bertolt Brecht], who wanted audiences to think rather than become too involved with the story and characters.

LYRICS

Sorry for the setback
I know i let you down
Turn back the clocks and step back
And spring might come around
My little misbegotten...
You're quite a stubborn bud!
If we can't make you open
We will take it out in blood

We'll make a man out of you yet!
We will plant brambles in your bed!
Just close your eyes and count to ten...
This is as close as you will get...

Oh is our little willow weeping?
Flutter to your knees
The untilled things before me,
Oh the possibilities

Thank you for the warning,
But i still see the sun...
A little global warming
Never hurt no one...

We'll make a man out of you yet
A crown of thorns around your head
Get off your knees and have a look
This is as good as it will get...

At last my pretty flower
Is getting put to use
You've always been a failure
But now you're bearing strange new fruit...

The inside is all wilted
But the rest is fertile, so
I will take the belt from off the hook
And watch the garden grow

We'll make a man out of you yet
You won't know what will hit you next
The gardener's coming to collect
You wanted love?
That's what you get...

The gardener's coming to collect
The gardener's coming to collect
The gardener's coming to collect
The gardener's coming to collect
The gardener's coming to collect
