'Jump' (A Solemn Hymn) - Amanda Palmer & Neil Gaiman

Recorded at Union Chapel. Sep 12th 2009.

As I was walking down the street one day
I saw a house on fire
There was man, shouting and screaming at an upper-storey window
To the crowd that was gathered there below
For he was sore afraid

Jump! You fucker, jump!
Jump into this here blanket what we are holding
And you will be all right
He jumped, hit the deck, broke his fucking neck -
There was no blanket

Laugh?! We nearly shat!
We had not laughed so much since Grandma died
Or Auntie Mabel caught her left tit in the mangle
We are miserable sinners
Fi-i-ilthy fuckers

Ahhhrrrr-soles

I can't tell whether I prefer Amandas mockney accented version or Neils straight one!

I was there on the first night, not this one. But Amanda sang this and it was hilarious!
