momus - the butcher's beautiful wife lyrics

i glance in the direction of
the butcher’s beautiful wife
time is running backwards, i
remember with a crystal ball
life shoots through its fire hose
like foam on electric fire
and i’ve given up giving up
desire

the firebug burned his house down
sparking joy with a match
the bald comedian choked on the smoke
of a joke that failed to hatch
i sit here with the architect
who saw his life’s work fail
his mission, his ambition
just staying out of jail

and i’m sat here in the ambulance with
the traitor larry mckee
some idiocy is happening
but it’s nothing to do with me
i read in the financial pages
that statues topple in storms
and notice that my trouser cuffs
are torn
the beastly eccentricities
of cardinal polly mcgoo
adrift on a sea of polythene
under the lights of studio two
slim the sly and rustik joan
rock hotpants through the scene
overpowered by sheer charisma
and the power of steam

i read in the financial pages
that statues topple in storms
and notice that my trouser cuffs
are torn

i look in the direction of
the butcher’s beautiful wife
an idiocy is happening
but it’s only ants on the floor
i read in the financial pages
that the scandal will become a storm
and notice that the seam of my trousers
is torn
