Jarvis returns
This morning, I was listening (for the first time) to Jarvis Cocker's excellent new CD "Jarvis". I was ironing my shirt (how very "Pulp")when this truly amazing song came on:
"Fat Children"
Jarvis Cocker
Last night I had a little altercation
They wobbled menacingly beneath the yellow street light
It became a situation
Well, they wanted my brand-new phone with all the pictures of the kids and the wife
A struggle ensued and then fat children took my life
Fat children took my life
Fat children took my life
Fat children took my life
Well, some passers-by took me to the station
The police force was elsewhere,
putting bullets in some guy's head for no particular reason
So I died in the back of the cab
but I'll be back to haunt them
This thing does not end here
My spirit walks the streets of Tottenham
Singing:
Fat children took my life
Fat children took my life
Fat children took my life
Oh, the parents are the problem
Giving birth to maggots without the sense to become flies
So pander to your pampered little princess - of such enormous size
Oh.
Now that's what I call pithy haha...

hello, it's your friendly music drug-pusher again. may i suggest Beirut, it's weird gypsy-rock with lots of chiming voices, ukelele, great rhythms and arrangements. a bit like Arcade Fire turned gypsy, with a touch of Morrissey and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah in the vocalist's singing too.
