  • There are a number of records that I sentimentalise, rightly or wrongly, regardless of their musical importance or wider artistic significance. They mark transitions in my personal or emotional life, or they are simply a soundtrack to a moment locked in time.

    On my birthday, March 11th 1985 one such ‘personal’ album was released. The Sisters of Mercy L.P. ‘First and Last and Always’.

    30 years later to the exact day I released my version of ‘First and Last and Always’ as ‘First Monster Last Monster Always Monster’. Another instalment in the MONSTER set of releases. ‘First Monster Last Monster Always Monster’ is an instrumental, electronic adaptation of the entire Sisters album. My version to some may be a travesty, deemed a novelty recording, even considered sacrilege by others, the devil may care but I don’t mind, those opinions do not concern me. This is my heartfelt homage to a moment in time and a wonderful album.

lyrics

SETTING SCENE

It were another ice cold night in Keighley
East of the city of the dead, the murdered
On the corpse road, cobbles worn thin by crippled packhorses
Sanjeev had gone out in the fog, hunting, grooming
By the light of the silvery moon, full to the brim, swooning
Under flimsy clouds, humming a brass band tune

Another day of stabbings and twattings
Moss eaten dry stone walls, wet crevices and sticky cracks
Vomit winds its way, building from a watery puddle into a stream
Broken bottles, fish, chips, mushy peas and screams
Watery, milky juice from mini-skirt dreams

A regular evening of misery
In another dirty, hostelry of hostility
Another day that's dowly
That plods on... hourly

Curry sauce, pickled onions and eggs
Click clacking of clogs, tip tapping segs
Pigeons fly home over hills far from Bingley or Batley
On tops or in the valleys, street urchins and scallies
Burnt oven bottom baps, a sickly slice of Parkin
Barm cake, another flat bottle of pop
You get nowt for out, and that's not a lot

Go to the foot of our stairs
Take the Stannah to the stars
Threadbare carpets and rusty cars
Dog fur soured and the stench of aunties hankie. Pankie
Three bar electric fire and unscrupulous funeral hire

Don't worry our lad I'm just setting scene
A place where it's cold, damp, cruel and mean
