Majory Razor Blade performed by Kevin Coyne
70's oh so 70's daubs of wierd gaudiness, layered over plain drabness.
Quirky....very quirky also hilarious, disturbing and unforgettable.
Sample Lyric " Oh what a woman what a tongue, what an abrasive manner"
I first heard this when i around 15 or 16, borrowed from a local Mushroom dealer called Mad dog, I kid you not. At the time I'd "Inadvertently" consumed some of his wares, and was beginning to get hazy and paisley, hence he made me and a couple of friends lay down on his room floor, head to toe, turned off the lights and put Majory Razorblade on.........we giggled in the darkness like school kids,which we were, as we listened to the tale of the woman with the long and fusty dress..I've never forgotten it....
I highly recommend the Album Majory Razorblade, by Kevin Coyne - a lost genius. The title track sets the tone for an album full of seedy characters, each lost in their own wanton little worlds, with lashings of philosphical blurbs "Being on your own is hard, being with someone is harder"
well worth exploring......... |
