Momus - The Art Creep lyrics
[Momus - The Art Creep lyrics]
The art creep is looking nice today
Interesting anyway
Appropriating ethnic dress
With the context stripped away
At the Shinto shrine festival
The Japanese are doing their best
To act as if he isn't there
They're always so polite
He's filming with his camera
He plans to take this beat away
And work it up into a song
Which other creeps will play
And he'll hardly tell them anything
About the rhythm's origin
But he might whip up a video
In which he dances stupidly
The art creep is looking nice today
In his amusing selfie
He's not doing any harm
But the god is moving on
Interesting anyway
Appropriating ethnic dress
With the context stripped away
At the Shinto shrine festival
The Japanese are doing their best
To act as if he isn't there
They're always so polite
He's filming with his camera
He plans to take this beat away
And work it up into a song
Which other creeps will play
And he'll hardly tell them anything
About the rhythm's origin
But he might whip up a video
In which he dances stupidly
The art creep is looking nice today
In his amusing selfie
He's not doing any harm
But the god is moving on
