I was delighted to discover that The Magnetic Fields have a new album out, packed with loads of short songs that are packed with pith, wit and things that'll make you nod your head and go "mmm".
Case in point, the track featured below: The Day The Politicians Died.
I'll just leave this here for you to ponder...
Billions laughed and no one cried
The day the politicians died
Celebrations spread worldwide
The day the politicians died
Even their own mothers
Their own husbands and wives
Said, "Now all men are brothers,
Let's get on with our lives"
Billions laughed and no one cried
The day the politicians died
Celebrations spread worldwide
The day the politicians died
We've risen from the mud
We're different from the beasts
We've got the taste for blood
So let's eat all the priests
Billions laughed and no one cried
The day the politicians died
Celebrations spread worldwide
The day the politicians died
It's all one big party now
'Cause all the politicians died
I liked it.
ReplyDeletePut's me in mind of Chumbawanba's The Day the Nazi Died
ReplyDeleteNazis... Politicians... Any difference?
