about

Written in 1984 but never recorded (except on cassette during a live performance in 1990 with Rafique Rashid on fretless bass) This track was done in one take with percussion overdubbed. A bit later I met a savvy & sensitive young bassist from Sabah named Icco Elnoel & he kindly agreed to add some badly needed bass.

lyrics

I ain't no vegetarian
But that don't mean I ain't humanitarian
I love people
Especially strangers
Because they've all got strange flesh
Mmmmmmm oh won't you
Gimme some strange flesh
I'm addicted to strange flesh
All I think about is strange flesh
Gimme gimme some strange flesh

Familiarity is all very fine
If you wanna breed
If you wanna breed contempt
But look at that glossy femme fatale
There's nothing about her that's banal
She doesn't mind
If you follow her around like a fool
She knows you've got the hots for her
That's why she keeps her cool
But when it comes to love
She can be really choosy
If you wanna have some fun
You better go see Lucy
This lady ain't no floozy

And she doesn't go for strange flesh
Especially if you've not been
Properly introduced
She says she comes from a good family
Everybody wears pajamas every night
In blue & white stripes

My mother used to say
No meal is complete
Unless you have a little meat
On the table
So I've quaffed a quail or two in my time
(Indeed I have)
I occasionally snack on snails
(I don't mind ze slime)
Well you can whip me up some whale
Right out of the brine
Woh-oh-woh I could bite your tail
Cause I'm the passionate kind
And I really wouldn't mind
A little strange flesh
Gimme gimme some strange flesh
All I think about is strange flesh
I'm really addicted to strange flesh

Well I don't care if it's fat
Or if it's lean
So long as it's clean
And excitingly strange
So don't you waste your perfect poise
And your expensive perfume on me
Honey, you know I'm so easy
So very easy to tempt

But look at that glossy femme fatale
There's nothing about her that's banal
She doesn't mind
If you follow her around like a dog
She's a marvelous machine
In which you'd love to be a cog
But when it comes to food
She can be really choosy
If you wanna exercise your gums
You better go see Lucy
She's much more juicy

And little Ms Lucy likes strange flesh
She was born in Ampang Village
All the people there are Hakka
And these Hakka people eat
Just about anything yeh
But there's just one problem with Lucy
(What's that?)
She only goes for white meat
With lots & lots of gravy
So if you're just a poor brown boy
With no money in his pocket...
You better forget it!

about

Guano Breath Malaysia

My output mostly dates back to the 1980s and has been heard by a mere handful. This isn't what I'm into now but at least I'm not too embarrassed about it.

Collaborations with others & freestyle choreographic works form an integral part of my archive.

I enjoy being the world's least ambitious musician.
