about

(music – West, Keneally, Kaiser; lyrics – Keneally)
The basis of the song is Andy’s bass line. He presented it complete at rehearsal and I built the other harmonic material and vocals around it. The odd effects which begin at 1:20 are another Synclavier sequence which Henry programmed at home. The riff which I start playing at 1:36 was written by Henry.

HK – guitar left, guitar solo from 1:45 to end, Synclavier
MK – guitar right, vocals, synth, acoustic guitar
PP – drums
AW – bass

lyrics

Ennui
Ennui
It’s not a maitre’ d
It nails me to the bed and makes me wish that I was free

Ennui
Ennui
A steel jaw trappin’ me
Don Van Vliet could come to call, I couldn’t twitch a knee

Take my head to the market (make it eat a Scooter Pie)
Take my head to the market (make it eat a Scooter Pie)
Take my penis to the bus stop (throw it under the wheel under the wheel under the wheel)
Take my head to the market (make it eat a Scooter Pie)

Ennui
Ennui
Relentless rabid bee
Call me pathetic prat, I’ve not the strength to disagree

Ennui
Ennui
Breakfast time is 3:00
A piece of cheese, some Fritos and a can of beer or three

Take my head to the market (make it eat a Scooter Pie)
Take my head to the market (make it eat a Scooter Pie)
Take my penis to the bus stop (throw it under the wheel under the wheel under the wheel)
Take my head to the market (make it eat a Scooter Pie)
