  • 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

W.M.C

The working mans club and another jar
The dedicated driver passed out in the car
A sick stained kagool
I were no ones fool

Were it 4 in the morning? No, only five to nine
Slurring me words on soggy crisps, I felt fine
I knew the landlord since way back when
So he pumped from the barrel again and again

Half a mild and three pints of bitter
Another session ale that sends you to the shitter
Light and lager, a smooth warm stout
Whose for another round? it's me shout

A glass of pop for thee lad
Another beer for his dad
A shandy for Mandy and a whiskey for Mike
Scan the optics, choose what thee like

Tepid and stale from unclean pipes
Chipped broken teeth from dirty fights
Aye, get it down yee cake hole
It's good for the soul you know

Yer 'ead will hurt in morning
With stale breath when yer yawning

I headed outside and walked down ginnel
All the snickets in this town looked identical
Dirty washing hung out on the line to dry
A few dead birds who forgot to fly

I'd been here many, many times before
I were slightly foxed, slightly amused...
Totally boozed... I'd been abused... by mesen

I were lost physically and emotionally
Still cold in me thermals, I felt right nesh, me
A cold cuppa and another night of scraps and cold scran
Not fit for beast or man, eating an all day breakfast from a tin can.

Cold black pudding, brown as mud
Sucking squealing little piggies congealed blood

I didn't know if I were coming or going, tooing or throwing...up
Half rice, half chips.... without the gravy
Swirling head, ever so hazy

I were frozzen so got back inside
I put wood in hole and lit fire
I thought about Murgatroyd the MONSTER
and how he would send his guns for hire
