Momus
David Bowie sings about Momus
Bowie (Tentatively, to Momus's face): Presbyterian would-be, with yellowy teeth...
Momus: Sorry?
Bowie: (Turning to piano):
Presbyterian would-be
Who wants to be me
Already a has-been
WIth an eye that can't see
You're remarkably ugly
You should never leave home
And your songs are as twee
As my own "Laughing Gnome"
Bowie (Speaking): No, wait, no "Laughing Gnome" references...
(Singing again)
Remarkably ugly
Inelegant man
As twee as a Belle
And Sebastian fan
Don't give up the dayjob
Your column in Wired...
Linda: The twat'll say he's resigned the day he gets fired!
Bowie: I like that, Linda! Very good!
Momus: Yes, very good Linda, I like that too!
Bowie (Singing):
You're just a big copycat
Playing my game
But nobody likes you
You'll never have fame
And it cuts like a knife
How it's all gone so wrong
Take revenge for your life
In Presbyterian songs
Crowd: And we all sing along...
You've made a new album?
We don't give a fuck!
Want to be a contender?
You're bang out of luck!
Bowie: Perverted old wannabe
Losing the plot
Look in the mirror
I am who you're not
When I look in the mirror
At least I see me
Not a thin scruffy Scotsman
With yellowy teeth
See his yellow teeth!
(Teeth teeth, teeth teeth)
See his yellow teeth!
(Repeat to fade)
