Fat Children - Jarvis Cocker


It’s always nice to hear something that Jarvis Cocker has been working on. His last album is a bit hit and miss but definately worth a listen. One of my favourite tracks is Fat Children. When I wa back in England, one of my sisters friends got beat up by someone trying to steal their mobile phone! Christ what are they worth about a tenner on the black market? Anyway here’s the lyrics to Fat Children by Jarvis Cocker.

Last night I had a little altercation
they wobbled menacingly beneath the yellow street-light: it became a situation.
They wanted my brand-new phone with all the pictures of the kids & the wife.
A struggle ensued & then fat children took my life.
Fat children took my life. Oh…..

Well, some passers-by took me to the station.
The Police Force was elsewhere - putting bullets in some guy’s head for no particular reason.
So I died in the back of the cab but I’ll be back to haunt them.
This thing does not end here: my spirit walks the streets of Tottenham,
singing: fat children took my life. Oh…….

Oh, the parents are the problem; giving birth to maggots without the sense to become flies.
So pander to your pampered little princess - of such enormous size. Oh.

Class Lyrics by Mr Cocker again, I loved all his pulp stuff.
