lyrics

I find you so glamorous
Your very failure is success
You became the little mouse that roared
And when I'm nearly desperate
When life is looking desolate
Like Judy Garland you can make me soar

And if you say there is a way
I'll follow you the whole world through
Even though I know the price to pay
We'll leave the places we began
Dispense with evil gentlemen
Alea jacta est, so let us play

The Wickedest Witch of the West
Is killing me with pointlessness
The neighbours and the parents and the grind
I saw a Strawman in the rain
His friend the Tinman was in pain
The brain, the heart and courage left behind

(We are heterosexuals by the way
But we may be the queerest people you will meet all day)

And I find you so glamorous
My feelings for you? Amorous
Like Judy Garland you can make things fun again
And if we're getting desperate
If life is looking desolate
We'll hitch our wagon to a fucking hurricane

They're dosing me with serotonin
Re-uptake inhibitors
Fluoxetine is branded as Prozac
The side-effects are feeling sick
Dizziness, a droopy dick
So now I'm drowsy yet insomniac

But somewhere over the rainbow
Is Berlin
Or just a clean, well-lighted place
Where we can start again

(We're pessimistic realists in our way
But we're the biggest optimists that you will meet all day)

Momus Berlin, Germany

Momus is "the David Bowie of the art-pop underground" (The Guardian). "Behind all the scoffing defiance there wafts something dark, too" (Die Tageszeitung). "There's a tone all the way through his work of a slightly aloof and superior being smiling cruelly at the foibles of human nature" (Stuart Maconie, BBC Radio). ... more
