My new obssession...

Hedwig & the Angry Inch - The Origin of Love

When the earth was still flat

And clouds made of fire

And mountains stretched up to the sky

Sometimes higher...

Folks roamed the earth like big rolling kegs

They had two sets of arms

They had two sets of legs

They had two faces peering

Out of one giant head

So they could watch all around them

As they talked; while they read

And they never knew nothing of love

It was before the origin of love...

The origin of love...

And there were three sexes then,

One that looked like two men glued up back to back

Called the children of the sun

And similiar in shape and girth were the children of the earth

They looked like two girls rolled up in one

And the children of the moon

Were like a fork stuck on a spoon

They were part sun, part earth, part daughter, part son

The origin of love

Now the gods grew quite scared of our strength and defiance

And Thor said

"I'm gonna kill them all with my hammer like I killed the giants"

And Zeus said "No...

You better let me use my lightning like scissors

Like I cut the legs off the whales

And dinosaurs into lizards"

Then he grabbed up some bolts

And he let out a laugh

Said "I'll split them right down the middle

Gonna cut them right up in half"

And the storm clouds gathered above

Into great balls of fire.

And then fire shot down from the sky in bolts

Like shining blades of a knife

And it ripped right through the flesh

Of the children of the sun and the moon and the earth

And some Indian god sewed the wound up into a hole

Pulled it 'round to our bellies to remind us

The price we pay

And Osiris and the gods of the nile

Gathered up a big storm

To blow a hurricane

To scatter us away

A Flood of wind and rain

And a sea of tidal waves

To wash us all away

And if we don't behave

They'll cut us down again

We'll be hooping around on one foot

And looking through one eye

The last time I saw you

We had just split in two

You were looking at me

I was looking at you

You had a way so familiar

But I could not recognize'cause you had blood in your face

And I had blood in my eyes

But I could swear by your expression

That the pain down in your soul

Was the same as the one down in mine

That's the pain

That cuts a straight line down through the heart

We call it love

So we wrapped our arms around each other

Trying to shove ourselves back together

We were making love... Making love

It was a cold dark evening such a long time ago

When by the mighty hand of Jove

It was a sad story how we becameLonely two-legged creatures

It's the story... The origin of love

That's the origin of love

Hedwig & The Angry Inch

(To be free one must give up a little part of one-sef...)

My sex change operation got botched
My guardian angel fell asleep on the watch
Now all I've got is a barbie doll crotch
I've got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got aI got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got a
I got an angry inch!

I'm from the land where you still hear the cries
I had to get out had to sever all ties
I changed my name and assumed a disguise
I got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got aI got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got aI got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
The train is coming and I'm tied to the track
I try to get up but I can't get no slack
I've got an angry inch
Angry inch

My mother made my tits outta clay
(tits of clay)
My boyfriend told me that he'd take me away
(tits of clay)
He dragged me to the doctor one day
I've got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got aI got an angry inch
Six inches forward and five inches back
I got aI got an angry inch

(Long story short!)
Yea, long story short
When I woke up from the operation
I was bleeding down there
I was bleeding from a gash between my legs
It's my first day as a woman,
Already it's that time of the month
But 2 days later the hole closed up
The wound healed and I was left
With a one inch mound of flesh
Where my penis used to be
Where my vagina never was
It was a one inch mound of flesh
With a scar running down it like a sidways grimace on an eyeless face
It was just a little bulge
It was an angry inch!!
