Song for Mad


Recommended Posts

Meat Is Murder

 

Heffer whines could be human cries

Closer draws the screaming knife

This beautiful creature must die

This beautiful creature must die

A death for no reason

and death for no reason is murder

and the flesh you so fancifully fry

It's not succulent tasty or kind

It's death for no reason

and death for no reason is murder

and the calf that you carve with a smile

It is murder

and the turkey you so festively slice

well it is murder

Do you know how animals die?.......

 

Kitchen aroma's are not very homely

It's not comforting cheery or kind

It's sizzling blood and the un holy stench of murder

It's not natural normal or kind

the flesh you so thankfully fry

It's death for no reason

and death for no reason is murder

Do you know how animals die?.........

 

Song written by the most influential artist of all time.

MAD, the juxtaposition of lyrics with music that does not appear, superficially, to be a suitable marriage is a compositional device that has been used throughout the history of music. My personal favourite example of this technique is the overlaying of the words from 'Bob The Builder' over Metallica's plodding and generally dull 'Enter Sandman' which can be found at www.boomselection.info together with several other classic 'bootlegs'.

 

In relation to MIM, I would contend, however, that the harsh whirring musicality of this particular Smiths track is specifcally designed to intensify the horror the relevant lyrics are attemting to convey.
