The lyrics of momus
Characterised by charm and a sardonic relish for the perverse, these highly individual songs are a startling antidote to the blandness of most pop lyrics.
'Momus is probably the most original voice operating in pop today
his private life may be something of a scandal, but more scandalous is that he's not fêted as a true pop genius on five continents.'
New Musical Express
'I've followed Momus for many years now
I wouldn't let him within fifty miles of my friends, my family or my pets
His words and music are bewildering and breathtaking and shocking in a way I find difficult to resist
until the Serious Crimes Squad lead him away with a blanket over his head, I'll carry on being stunned and stupefied by the things he sings.'
Simon Armitage
'Possibly the only truly subversive songwriter in Britain today
