From the Poison Boyfriend (1987). Buy the album if you can find it. Lyrics: With this knife I cut the cake Who will be my bride today Sweet Fanny Adams Watch her climb the step ladder A present from her stepfather Sweet Fanny Adams See her reaching out and stripping down the muslin drapes A cover for her nakedness, a veil for her face With curtains for your wedding dress You must take your place amongst The Proper Little Madams And now because I love you I must take my place too Amongst the murderers, the hope of women Death in every new beginning I must take this woman for my sentence of life And she must take my knife I will buy a ring of gold And you will practise birth control Sweet Fanny Adams Like a puppet on a string Of oestrogen and progesterone Sweet Fanny Adams This is where your misery starts This is where your mystery stops We'll rent a television To replace Pandora's Box And I will wear a business face And you will learn your proper place From those Proper Little Madams And in my world of cut and thrust I will learn that my place, my place must ..... Be with the murderers, the hope of women Death in every new beginning I must take this woman for my sentence of life And she must take my knife In my pipe and slippers Do I look like Jack The Ripper? Sweet Fanny Adams But I poisoned you with every kiss Smothered you with domestic bliss Sweet Fanny Adams Underneath the suntan from the sun lamp that we bought Your face is paler than the pale face of a corpse And .... + Informações

An epic classic from Momus' 1988 triumph, Tender Pervert. Nick Currie's lyrics are always worth extra attention, but I'll include these: I was born in the town of Paisley in early 1960 And placed in the care of an old eternal bachelor A strict disciplinarian, a passionate antiquarian His collection of myths and legends was spectacular As a younger man he'd been to see Japan Where a master in a white kimono taught him In a shining moment the myth of the bishonen The youthful hero doomed to fall like blossom And how could I forgive the ugly fugitive Who brought me up according to a fantasy? For when the old man stared at me He drowned in evil beauty Thinking of the early death in store for me He taught me to be good with words, he bought me ceremonial swords And in this way came grace and expertise The words were to cut down and to kill the muscle-bound The swords to fell my intellectual enemies And women should be hated but first impersonated Charm, he said, is essential to misogyny He taught me how to woo the girls in order to outdo the girls And the fun would come when I'd got them to love me And how could I resist the old misogynist Who brought me up according to a fantasy? My softness and fragility My feminine grace and delicacy Made death himself afraid for me And so in time I grew to be blond and beautiful Pale and frail, with many male admirers I was promised by my father a retainer for a partner So loyal that nothing could divide us Shocked by my suggestion that I .... + Informações

This video is from Momus: Man Of Letters DVD. The first ever DVD to feature one the true enigmatic figures of alternative music's last twenty years, Momus. Throughout his recording career for Cherry Red Records and Creation Records, now stretching over twenty years, Momus has always excited and confounded in equal measure -- his work always contains something different and challenging, and "Man Of Letters" is no exception. "Man Of Letters" was produced by Finnish director Hannu Puttonen (who has also worked with Billy Bragg and Bill Drummond), and has been described as "not so much a documentary, but a stream of consciousness, visualizations of songs, moral discussions by Momus and companions...of whom some have a high profile in British pop culture..." The guest appearances referred to in that description include Jarvis Cocker, Saint Etienne singer Sarah Cracknell, Ed Ball and Simon Turner. The "Man Of Letters" DVD contains the full length version of the programme, with nearly twenty minutes of unseen footage from the original video release.

This is a cover -- and my own translation into English -- of Mylène Farmer's 1984 hit Maman A Tort, written by Laurent Boutonnat and Jérôme Dahan. The song tells the tale of a rebellious little girl who's fallen in love with a hospital nurse, but I've used the word "orderly". A medical orderly is an unskilled nurse, but the word also refers to the strict order in which the song's narrator issues the pieces of information which add up to her story.. + Informações

Suppose one day in Bromley, Kent I live my nightmare and am sent To sing for blonde suburban women Before the wives of double-glazers I'd be Julio Inglesias Doing the greats in Argentinian Suppose they Barry Manilow me Screaming "Show me you're a man" With legs as mottled as salami Ladies, I'm doing the best I can This is how Casanova's bum becomes a lesson in virility Set to a bossanova drum Sung to tarts decked out like Christmas trees Then in my dressing room I'd see This elephant as pink as me Drinking and singing gloomily About the time they called me, yeah the time the called me, About the time they called me "Nicky" If I could be him!

I called you dancing queen At the Quai des Brumes At Kamakura you said you'd like to paint tears On the neutral face of the Buddha In the season of storms We went walking in storms Just like a video, just like a symphony And for you, when things go wrong They go wrong for all the right reasons And when it gets warm you adapt with the seasons In a world of changing colours every colour has a meaning And the universe exists for the convenience of your feelings And as for me I know a different world A world where the sea Refuses to rage when boy loses girl Oh I know there's comfort in sadness But I try to distinguish these passing emotions My unimportant existence From the great machine of the world's indifference Mono no aware The sadness of things Mono no aware The temptation to see The world as it ought to be Mono no aware The sadness of things Blinded with tears I can still see My insignificance In an indifferent universe If I were you If I were beautiful Maybe the world Might seem more meaningful I grow old! I grow old! As the winter comes on and the sky grows cold But you stay as young as the rays of the sun On the sparkling machinery you call your destiny Mono no aware The sadness of things Mono no aware The temptation to see The world as it ought to be Mono no aware The sadness of things The thunder and rain Sharing our pain My insignificance In an indifferent universe Do I dare to eat a peach? Do I dare to walk the beach? And if I dare to eat a peach If I should .... + Informações
