Teach the world to sing
But teach them Hedwig songs, of course. Lyrics stuck in my brain (and on the Bose) currently:
I'll lay out fine china on the linen
and polish up the chrome...
~~~"Sugar Daddy"
(Hmmm...sounds innocent enough, until you rethink that last part.)
By the gold light of your halo.
I want to nail you..
~~~"Nailed"
(Pretty racy for a ditty - to Jesus, no less!)
Inside I'm hollowed out
outside's a paper shroud
and all the rest's illusion
~~~"Exquisite Corpse"
I look back on where I'm from
Look at the woman I've become
And the strangest things seem suddenly routine
~~~"Wig in a Box"
Those last two really speak for themselves.
Stephen Trask is a musical genius. Am considering a blog name change, since Incendiary Advice became neither of the two, and "Miss Midnight Checkout Queen" is a fitting Stephen/JCM/Hedwig tribute.
No more excuses, Chris -- get the cd already. ;)
