Sinister: Lyric changing time.

I was driving through Brighton this evening, with Twattybus on full volume
on my measly stereo, getting strange looks from the crowds of pissed
wankers queing up to dance to house music (oh how exciting), when something
caught my attention.

If you listen to the start of the album, really carefully, at a really high
volume you'll hear that in fact the lyrics are not
"He had a stroke at the age of 24,
It could have been a brilliant career"
But rather
"He had a stoat at the age of 24,
It would have made a brilliant cashmere"

I can see the headlines now,
"Number 1 indie album promotes animal cruelty"
"Animal Liberation Front issues death threat on B&S"

And while we are on this subject, surely Sarah is keeping that fox against
its will in the sleeve pictures. And the song Fox in the Snow, poor thing
you would have thought that someone could have given it a bed for the
night.

Any way I'm off now. 3 pointless mails in one day.....sorry!
