Fix the Girl #
Background #
This song was on Kate’s unreleased EP “Bleed for Me”.
This is sort of the beginning of the darkness. It starts here. This is the start where you can see, kind of, that I feel like I don’t belong in where I am, where I feel like something is wrong, and I can’t tell what’s wrong. And I needed to, like, validate myself a little bit. I think that this song– I remember when I wrote it. I remember, it started in my head, the lyrics at the beginning of the song. And I was trying to go to sleep. And I was laying in my bed, and I remember having to get out of bed and write the lyrics down because I didn’t want to forget them. I remember the moment, where it was so dark and so late and I just got out of bed and turned the little light on, and wrote the lyrics down so I wouldn’t forget them. And I think I finished the song the next day, I don’t remember exactly.
Lyrics #
There's a tick of a clock
As I lie upon a table
That is hard as a rock
And isn't quite too stable
And they cover my eyes
Shielding me from the world
And they tell the toymaker
Fix the girl
He saws into my chest
To see what is the matter
He says he'll do his best
As my heart pitter-patters
And he tries to decide
Whether to give it a whirl
You say "Pretty please, toymaker"
"Fix the girl"
He asks them what's wrong
And they tell him quite clearly
That I speak for too long
And I'm acting quite queerly
And they hate how I dress
And they're getting annoyed
At this rate they know I'll never
Find a boy
Fix the girl, toymaker
Fix the girl
Fix the girl, toymaker
Fix the girl
Fix the girl, toymaker
Fix the girl
Fix the girl, toymaker
Fix the girl
So he picks up his needle
And he sews me together
And he looks at the confused people
That have already gathered
He says "I'm sorry there are so many"
"Like you in the world"
"There really is no need to"
"Fix this girl"
Fix the girl, toymaker
Fix the girl
Fix the girl, toymaker
Fix the girl
Fix the girl, toymaker
Fix the girl
Fix the girl, toymaker
Fix the girl
Oh!
Fix the girl, toymaker
Fix the girl
Fix the girl, toymaker
Fix the girl
Fix the girl, toymaker
Fix the girl
Fix the girl, toymaker
Fix the girl
