lirik lagu the animal that desires – momus
i am cursed with a strange delusion:
i imagine myself to be
the only creature in the world that desires
and reproduces s-xually
and everybody else is an amoeba
a tapeworm, a eunuch or virus
(nicholas, don’t be so ridiculous, nicholas)
so i sit on the tube trying desperately to conceal
this embarr-ssing anomaly
this sin particular to me
for i, uniquely, must carry the rose
i, uniquely, have a c-ck beneath my clothes
and dream uniquely lewd dreams in front of multiplex screens
it’s as though i (and i alone)
should be punished for the universal sin
which reminds me of someone
but i am not like him
i am the only animal in the world that desires
wandering lost amidst cathedral spires
sacrificed on behalf of the general
possessor of an unruly genital
amongst the dead i beat my breast
proclaim my sinful proclivity
for simply living outside captivity
s-xually, as if i were unique, and the world uniquely unforgiving
somebody please understand me!
tell me you feel the same way!
(nicholas, don’t be so ridiculous, nicholas)
so i sit on the bus trying furiously to conceal
this inexplicable l-st, this outlandishly physical zeal
that, if i were to reveal, would seem simply surreal
in your eyes when you realise
i think differently from you
amidst the phallic towers
amidst the birds, the bees and flowers
the people too
it’s as though i (and i alone)
should be punished for the universal sin
which reminds me of someone
but i am not like him
i’m the only animal in the world that desires
being ushered towards my funeral pyre
the example, the victim, the criminal
possessor of an unruly genital
won’t someone understand me
help me bear the strain
say they feel the same way
say i’m not to blame
won’t someone understand me
help me bear the strain
say they feel the same way
say i’m not to blame
won’t someone understand me
help me bear the strain
say they feel the same way
say i’m not to blame
won’t someone understand me
help me bear the strain
say they feel the same way
say i’m not to blame
won’t someone understand me
help me bear the strain
say they feel the same way
say i’m not to blame
won’t someone understand me
help me bear the strain
say they feel the same way
say i’m not to blame
won’t someone understand me
help me bear the strain
say they feel the same way
say i’m not to blame
won’t someone understand me
help me bear the strain
say they feel the same way
say i’m not to blame
won’t someone understand me
help me bear the strain
say they feel the same way
say i’m not to blame
won’t someone understand me
help me bear the strain
say they feel the same way
say i’m not to blame
won’t someone understand me
help me bear the strain
say they feel the same way
say i’m not to blame
won’t someone understand me
help me bear the strain
say they feel the same way
say i’m not to blame
