Biography:
Antony and the Johnsons are a Mercury Prize-winning music act from New York City, New York, United States. The band is fronted by Anohni (f.k.a. Antony) who was born in 1971.
During the mid 90s Antony started solo; after originally producing songs with Blacklips Performance Cult and other late-night cabarets she had a number of songs to work with. In 1995 she assembled a backing group—the self-styled Antony and the Johnsons—and began to focus on the musical side of her performances.

Dm G
Mr. Muscle forcing bursting
Dm G
Stingy thingy into little me, me, me
Em Am
But just ripple, said the cripple
Em Am
As my jaw dropped to the ground
Smile smile
[Chorus A]
C G
It's true I always wanted love to be
Dm Am
Hurtful
C G
And it's true I always wanted love to be
Dm Am
Filled with pain
[Intro repeat] (x2)
And bruises
[Verse]
Dm G
Yes, so Cripple-Pig was happy
Dm G
Screamed I just completely love you!
Em
And there's no rhyme or reason
Am
I'm changing like the seasons
Em Am
Watch! I'll even cut off my finger
[Chorus B]

It'll grow back like a Starfish!

Mr. Muscle, gazing boredly
Dm G
And he checking time did punch me
Em Am
And I sighed and bleeded like a windfall
Em Am
Happy bleedy, happy bruisy

I am very happy
Dm Am
So please hit me
C G
I am very very happy
Dm Am
So please hurt me
C G
I am very happy
Dm Am
So please hit me
C G
I am very very happy
Dm Am
So come on, hurt me
[Chorus B]

I'll grow back like a Starfish
