Momus - Grand Guignol lyrics

Grim song, but everything's fine
I'm always your monkey and I'm
Going down on beautiful
Sunshine in my private life
But people are strange alone in the night

Today has been just awful far beyond the mean
Someone scissored through an orphan's eyes
The brain surgeon turned out to
Be a total loser
The weather brought a horrible surprise
Someone got attacked with acid in revenge
For the human sacrifice
Occurring at Stonehenge
I think I'm going to change
The newspaper I take
They must have printed all this by mistake

Stop the press, stop it all
Cropping our monstrosities up
Against the wall this isn't how we rise
It must be how we fall
Is this what they call Grand Guignol?

Grim song, but everything's fine
I'm always your monkey and I'm
Going down on beautiful
Sunshine in my private life
But people are strange alone in the night

Another day of mayhem far beyond the mean
A lunatic hacked off an athlete's arms
The Kumamons escaped
Creating carnage in Japan
You'd think Godzilla had done enough harm
Someone set the old museum
Mummies all on fire
The inferno blazed from Fleet
Street to St Paul's
A future Dalai Lama got knocked
Over by a train
I hope someone responsible is
Catching this on film

Stop the press, stop it all
Cropping our monstrosities up
Against the wall this isn't how we rise
It must be how we fall
Is this what they call Grand Guignol?
