LyricMeaning

Vegemite (The Black Death)
Amanda Palmer

You tell me that you love me when I'm lying by your side

You tell me that I am the only one who understands your fragile mind

That I'm blind to any evil you can do

And that I love you unlike any other girl could ever do


You love the things that I love: you love art and you love books

And you love love as much as I do and you love my dirty looks

And you love me right now

So, how can you love


Vegemite, it tastes like sadness

It tastes like batteries. It tastes like acid

I cannot hold a man so close who spreads this cancer on his toast

It is the Vegemite, my darling, or it's me


You have to make the fucking choice

I cannot sit with you at breakfast

The very smell of it obliterates my senses

And if that weren't bad enough you also eat the shit for lunch

Which means we can't spend any time together

What kind of relationship is that


The choice is yours, my heart is in your hands

Please wash your hands

You just had Vegemite for lunch you selfish bastard


It's all about you, isn't it

This has nothing to do with the Vegemite

This is what I'm talking about

You never actually listen to me

I can't take it anymore, it's all about you

It's just take, take, take, take

What about my feelings, what about me


I had this really traumatic and awful experience when I was six years old

And our British next door neighbour who was babysitting us, um, they had marmite

Which is just like Vegemite, except it's, like, even grosser

And he made me eat an entire spoonful of it, but he told me it was chocolate fudge

And then I threw up, and it was really awful, and I'm sorry I get so emotional, it's just...


I love you, and no matter what you eat

I'll always love you completely

I might just always leave the room at meal times

Or refuse to touch or kiss you for a week

If you insist on putting that foul death paste in your mouth


You're in my heart, but put yourself inside my shoes

I have to know, it shouldn't be that hard to choose

I know it's tearing you apart, but it's the way it has to be

It is the Vegemite, my darling

It is the Vegemite, my darling

Put down the Vegemite, you fucker, or I'll leave
