The Saddist

from Written On The Kitten by murnie

/

lyrics

He likes it when it rains
Feels like sympathy from God
A bland and even pain
To fill up his empty world

He eats at tables for one, cos misery’s sweeter alone
And he hasn’t got friends waiting for him to phone
A single pint of bitter beer
Then home to the mirror to practice his tears

Cos he’s a saddist, he brings everybody down
And he’s glad it’s known all around
That he’s a greetin-faced son of a bitch and he’s coming to your town

A wardrobe full of clothes
Pure black from toe to hair
And because one never knows
Clean black designer underwear

Don’t tell him a joke, cos he won’t see the funny side
He’s got a book of suggestions for suicide
He’s proud of his little black cloud
And he’s only too happy too share it around

Cos he’s a saddist, he brings everybody down
And he’s glad it’s known all around
That he’s a greetin-faced son of a bitch and he’s coming to your town

Yeah he’s a saddist, he brings everybody down
And he’s glad it’s known all around
That he’s a moaning-faced, hell-bent merchant of doom
Yeah he’s a broken-faced, sad act, purveyor of gloom
Yeah, he’s a greetin-faced son of a bitch and he’s coming to your town

Murnie is a Glasgow/Lanarkshire-based power trio with a love of strong melodies with idiosyncratic lyrics played loud, and with influences as varied as seventies singer-songwriters and classic metal this is hardy surprising. Their unusual piano/drums/guitar-or-bass line-up might appear lacking, but thoughtful arrangements, harmony vocals and sheer enthusiasm result in a big sound from a wee band. ... more
