The Philosophy of Momus

歌詞

Beauty is just the first glimpse of a terror we're just about able to bear Fashion is just the return of the clothes we're no longer able to wear Fast food's too slow, slow food's too fast In the next world the first will be first and the last will be last The first will be first and the last will be last Those who say no-one is better than anyone think that they're better for saying it The best way to make proper use of your time's to sit perfectly still and ignore it Popular culture's designed by a highly-trained popular culture elite A digital city's more easily changed than a city of concrete A city more easily changed than a city of concrete Call me a schizoid, I sometimes feel this era belongs only to me Place matters less as we choose where to live and who to be The basic inventiveness that got us into this mess gets us out again Often inadequate lovers turn into invaluable friends Inadequate lovers turn into invaluable friends The only real tyranny comes on behalf of the ones we have chosen to love Being creative is close to being evil, being good's just not good enough Every good man has a bad man inside, someone making it all possible The only good drug is a smart drug, there's no good death, there's no clean kill There's no good death, there's no clean kill Guilt is the engine of civilisation, guilt that is built on desire One day I'll write a book about looking championing the voyeur Playfulness must be encouraged uncritically, children are still far ahead Stop trying to cut off your feet so you fit your bed, make it longer instead
