"I want to ROCK, but I ain't got no band."
-WAG
Woody's A Girl (originally the artist name for solo artist Trisha Farnan) is a veritable unknown from Perth, Western Australia, who started playing in 2005. In the years that followed, WAG released albums mainly to friends and family. She received airplay on popular local radio station RTR.FM (92.1) and used to appear occasionally on the program Burning Down the House as a presenter. Her favourite bands/artists include The Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, Veruca Salt, Nirvana, Silversun Pickups and Catherine Wheel, but are in their entirety far too numerous to name. You can check out her Last.fm charts at the user profile earthcrossing.
In recent times, WAG has collaborated with American artist Billy Bedard, a.k.a. Rotting Apples, and their first Woody's A Girl album, Into the Red, was released in 2013. In May 2018, the first single from their sophomore album Oblivion was released, with the full length album due out on May 25th, 2018.
Billy and Trisha have also collaborated on an album of Billy's songs, titled The Falling Sound. Other artists also appeared with vocal contributions on the debut Rotting Apples album.
Amy
Woody's a Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Step aside
If you faint at the start of the fight
Step aside
If you're her friend before mine
Step aside
If you're more her kind than mine
Step aside
Before I make you
Time to make like a guest on Jerry Springer
And kick you to the kerb, girl
Time to slide out my swords
(Twin swords, all the better to skewer you with)
And give you your late birthday present
Bitch.
Don't get in my way
Don't think I'll let myself stay
Silent, not now
Not when I'm burning up with
An unleashed wrath
All the better to wither you with.
I'll consume you whole
And you'll never cross me again
And 'till we meet a-
Gain
It was 'nice' knowing your sow ass
If you have a weak heart
Step aside
If you faint at the start of the fight
Step aside
If you're her friend before mine
Step aside
If you're more her kind than mine
Step aside

Line by Line Meaning
If you have a weak heart
I don't have time for people who lack the stamina or resilience to handle my fiery personality and confrontational nature.
Step aside
Take a seat and watch the show, because you're not cut out to handle what's about to go down.
If you faint at the start of the fight
If you can't handle the heat of tense or difficult situations and you're prone to backing down or giving up, then don't bother trying to face me.
If you're her friend before mine
If loyalty is more important to you than honestly, and you're willing to cower behind someone else's shadow instead of standing up for what you believe in, then you're not welcome in my presence.
If you're more her kind than mine
If you have more in common with someone else, whether it be similar values, beliefs, or interests, then you're not meant to be around me.
Before I make you
Before I force you to come to terms with the reality of our situation, and reveal the harsher side of myself that you weren't warned about.
Time to make like a guest on Jerry Springer
It's time to make a big, dramatic scene and call you out on your actions in the most entertaining way possible, like a guest on a daytime talk show.
And kick you to the curb, girl
It's time to kick you out of my life and get rid of your negative influence.
Time to slide out my swords
It's time to release my pent-up frustration and agitation and use my words as sharp, cutting weapons against anyone in my way.
Twin swords, all the better to skewer you with
With the same amount of tact and grace as dual swords, I'll dismantle you piece by piece until you cower and back away.
And give you your late birthday present
I'll give you something that you're not going to forget anytime soon - an experience of how it feels to feel small and insignificant.
Bitch.
You don't deserve any more respect or cordiality from me.
Don't get in my way
Stay out of my lane and don't try to push my buttons, because I won't shy away from confronting you.
Don't think I'll let myself stay
I won't let myself get stagnant or too comfortable in your presence, because it'll only cause more problems in the long run.
Silent, not now
I won't let myself suffer in silence and tolerate any more disrespect or rude behavior from anyone.
Not when I'm burning up with
Not when I'm feeling passionate and energized and ready to take on the world.
An unleashed wrath
When I'm feeling particularly agitated and disrespected, I'll let my true feelings out and not hold back.
All the better to wither you with.
I'll use my passion and vibrancy against you to make you feel isolated and unsupported in my presence.
I'll consume you whole
I'll eat you up and spit you out, leaving nothing behind but your shame and regrets.
And you'll never cross me again
I won't let anyone take advantage of my kindness or patience ever again, and I'll ensure that you'll never cross me again.
And 'till we meet a-Gain
Until our paths cross again, which I hope is never.
It was 'nice' knowing your sow ass
You were little more than an annoyance in my life, and I won't miss you now or in the future.
