The Jazz Butcher

Lyrics

Thing
I have an affair, a love affair, with a thing

Yes I have an affair, a squalid affair with a thing

Well the preacher tell me, "Son, to love an object is a sin."

Now I call that thing J. Edgar, though it don't run no F.B.I.
Yeah I call that thing J. Edgar, though it don't run no F.B.I.
That's the end of this song, and I don't know why.
Goodbye.

Hard
This record is all about love. Don't let the psychic molestation syndrome get to you. This is our loudest record to date, which is something to do with the elephants.

Ever wondered what Max and I get up to away from the glamour of the modern stage? No, probably not, but let me tell you that there is nothing we like better that to get our teeth into those Big Questions.
