Discount Dracula

Liner Notes

#fuc #electropunk

  1. Boxing Day. Features a drum sample from Sleaford Mods' 'Megaton'.

Truth confession: I stole the 'g*nitals/Janitor' non-rhyme from Suburban Lawns. The rest just riffed backwards from that.

For the non-UK listener, the Boxing Day Sales are a unique cultural signifier, I guess the closest equivalent I can think of is Black Friday.

I really like this one. It just felt natural. You may disagree :) If anyone mentions Devo, they're getting blocked :)

Lyrics

All the Discount Draculas Pouring out their motor cars Like red ketchup out the jar slow dollop of vouchers Spent straight away (hey hey)

All the Discount Draculas Running to the shopping mall Tearing through the poundland halls First thing on Boxing Day Sales are underway (hey hey)

Reach into your wallet now* Empty out your wallet

Shopping centre hired a team Workers happy to steam clean Seam of Endless Crap, it seems; All the greed that’s left Behind, out the way (hey hey)

But I can see the Janitor Hole in his overalls I can see his genitals Really doesn't cover all It Should -or so they say. (hey hey)

“I can see his flesh Wallet Sticking out of his pocket!”

Bargain hunters get defanged That can't be a human man Once its seen, can't be unseen Its unwanted, just obscene

*I cocked up on singing this, its meant to be "pocket" not "wallet" Ah, well.

I really like this, hits the spot lyrically and takes me back. Fortunately we don't really have Boxing Day sales here, which is refreshing
