Miss Lucy Had Some Leeches Lyrics


Miss Lucy had some leeches
Her leeches liked to suck
And when they drank up all her blood she didn't give a
Funny when the doctors
Had locked her in her cell
Miss Lucy screamed all night that they should go to bloody
Hello to the surgeon
With scalpel old and blunt
He'll tie you to the table then he'll mutilate your
Come it's nearly teatime
The lunatics arrive
The keepers bleed them all until there's no one left a-
Lively little rodents
Are eaten up by cats
We're subject to experiments like laboratory
Rats I've dropped a teacup
How easily they break
I'm on my hands and knees until I pay for my mis-

Take off all your clothing
We've only just begun
We have no anesthesia
It's eighteen forty-
One thing we should tell you
Before you try again
The tests are all invented by a lot of filthy
Mentally hysteric
She's failed the exam
Don't bother telling Lucy for she doesn't give a
Damn that nitrous oxide
For when you can't escape
They say the surgeons oft commit a murder or a
Razor-blades are rusty
And not a lot of fun
So when they try to amputate your legs you'd better
Run and fetch the chemist
A patient's feeling sad
She's been in chains for ages and she isn't even
Madness is a nuisance
And no one is immune
Your sister, mum or daughter may become a raving
Lunatics are dangerous
And doctors are obeyed
They also go together just like toast and marma-
Ladies are like children
With brains the size of squirrels'
Lets give clitoridectomies to all the little
Girls are helpless trasures
That daddies must protect
So lie upon the table for the doctors to in-
Speculums are super
And stirrups all the rage
So speard a lady's legs then put her back into her
Cage of naked crazies
The surgeon's here to bleed
The doctors all are learned men and some can even
Reading can be risky
For women on the verge
It only did us worlds of good to poison, leech and
Purging is a penance
Phlebotomy's a chore
No need to sterilize the tools, we never did be-
Fore the night is over
Before you go to bed
They'll take a hammer and a nail and jam it in your
Headstones in the courtyard
And statues in the park
Are not for the insane
Just leave them rotting in the D.A.R.K.
Dark, dark, dark, dark, dark

Emilie Autumn Liddell (born on September 22, 1979), better known by her stage name Emilie Autumn, is an American singer-songwriter, poet, and violinist. Autumn draws influence for her music—the style of which she has alternatively labeled as "Victoriandustrial" and glam rock—from plays, novels, and history, particularly the Victorian era. Performing with her all-female backing band The Bloody Crumpets, Autumn incorporates elements of classical music, cabaret, electronica, and glam rock with theatrics, and burlesque.

Growing up in Malibu, California, she began learning the violin at the age of four and left regular school five years later with the goal of becoming a world-class violinist; she practiced eight or nine hours a day and read a wide range of literature. Progressing to writing her own music, she studied under various teachers and went to Indiana University, which she left over issues regarding the relationship between classical music and the appearance of the performer. Through her own independent label Traitor Records, Autumn debuted with her classical album On a Day: Music for Violin & Continuo, followed by the release in 2003 of her album Enchant.

She appeared in singer Courtney Love's backing band on her 2004 America's Sweetheart tour and returned to Europe. She released the 2006 album Opheliac with the German label Trisol Music Group. In 2007, she released Laced/Unlaced; the re-release of On a Day... appeared as Laced with songs on the electric violin as Unlaced. She later left Trisol to join New York-based The End Records in 2009 and release Opheliac in the United States, where previously it had only been available as an import. Currently she is on tour to promote her newest album Fight Like A Girl. She played the role of Painted Doll in Darren Lynn Bousman's 2012 film The Devil's Carnival.
