lyrics

Remember, remember this dismembered member -
An emblem of the feminine, of liberty and of love;
So her lover could neither leave her nor satiate another,
Sada severed me and then she housed me in her handbag.

Be tender, bartender, to these destitute testicles
And penurious penis, once exhibited to Tokyo’s pathologists,
But now penniless here in Shinagawa, in search of my Sada -
The lover who unleashed me to love her forever.
Forlorn and on the run... forlorn and on the run.

Don't ponder, don't wonder why Sada knifed Ishida
or why asphyxiation garrotted their parting embrace:
neither for rape as a teenager nor being flogged to the Geisha
but for love beyond Ono No Komachi's verses of waka.

Not just a dick depicted in pornos as the preserve of perverts,
and erotic grotesque nonsense and erotic grotesque nonsense,
I undulate and I roll from bar to bar for the love of my Sada.
When warfare waned for Japan's women Sada’s knife severed sexual inhibition.
Sada severed sexual inhibition. Sada severed inhibition.

Remember, remember this dismembered member
An emblem of the feminine, of liberty and of love;
So her lover could neither leave her nor satiate another
Sada severed me and then she housed me in her handbag.

Be tender, bartender, to these destitute testicles
And penurious penis, once exhibited to Tokyo’s pathologists,
But now peniless here in Shinagwa, in search of my Sada -
The lover who unleashed me to love her forever.

The lover who unleased me to love her forever.
Forlorn and on the run... forlorn and on the run.
Be tender, bartender; be tender, bartender...

And remember, remember... this dismembered member

about

Yorkshire vs Essex London, UK

Yorkshire Vs Essex are a London-based trio singing of the lives of historical figures... with nice slices of embellishment. Influenced by the likes of Robert Wyatt, Current 93, Scott Walker, Miles Davis, Shabazz Palaces, Nick Cave, Autechre, Matana Roberts, Bjork and Iannis Xenakis - but sounding little like them, bass and vocals merge with flute, trombone, accordion, digital horn and electronics. ... more
