Mannequin's Complaint (Wax Dummy Meltdown)

Taken from "Demons and Painkillers" 2003

"Kleptos parading on market floors today,
Insider raiding like boys who drink
and bring down everything
On top of us

This is what we're tired of
This is what we're tired of

And then much later
Paint it up for display
Maximum Torso
Cat from Pluto's purple moon
Said "Light me a can of gas"

This is what we're tired of
This is what we're tired of

This is what we're tired of (repeated)"

A longer and better produced version of "Mannequin's Complaint" that was reviewed earlier in "A Pollard A Day". The instruments are a lot more produced here with a sort of fair ground sound to it all but still holding onto that Bonzo Dog feel. I'm surprised this song didnt't crop up on a major release as its a very imaginative song.
