about

I originally wrote this song to be a part of another show. The song tells the story of a girl who realises she's different from other people, so has a doctor cut away every aspect of herself which is different until all thats left is a severed head. At which point she realises that, with nothing left to make her different, she's has nothing to identify herself with.
The original song contained the word 'vagina' and the people I wrote it for in the show asked me to remove it for reasons of the age of the people at the show... teenagers. I thought it was crazy but did as they asked. I called the song 'Vagina Removal' later in response.

lyrics
It started off as a question in her head
but the question was a cancer and it spread
to her fingers lungs and finally to her heart
said the president “you've got moments to live”
So the plastic surgeon cut away her arms and her legs
stuck a hand in her vagina and he cut out her eggs
as the doctor amputated to the bass of her neck
said he “thank god we might have saved you”
But there's an irritation
I'm just an imitation
left over amputation
still that's the latest fashion
Left right left I walk in perfect step
and tear you down if you fall behind
we're spinning round and round til we're upside down
and then I'll make you pay I'll make you pay
But there's an irritation
I'm just an imitation
left over amputation
still thats the latest fashion
a hyper-combination
but with irradiation
but the question was a cancer and it spread
to her fingers lungs and finally to her heart
said the president “you've got moments to live”
So the plastic surgeon cut away her arms and her legs
stuck a hand in her vagina and he cut out her eggs
as the doctor amputated to the bass of her neck
said he “thank god we might have saved you”
But there's an irritation
I'm just an imitation
left over amputation
still that's the latest fashion
Left right left I walk in perfect step
and tear you down if you fall behind
we're spinning round and round til we're upside down
and then I'll make you pay I'll make you pay
But there's an irritation
I'm just an imitation
left over amputation
still thats the latest fashion
a hyper-combination
but with irradiation

about
Fronz Arp Brisbane, Australia
The strange machine which is Fronz Arp grinds like a tattered, angry little hurdy gurdy. With dramatic jaunt and seesawing
melodies that have been compared to weird-pop wonders, such as David Bowie and Tom Waits
“...songs full of drama and action, designed to get pulses racing and yet still sounding both intricate and adventurous” Rave Magazine
