Marzipan Pig 03:03
Tell me how big is your marzipan pig? (How big? How big?) Tell me how big? (How big? How big?) I will devour it Tell me how big is your marzipan pig? Tell me how big? I will eat you too Marzipan Pig Pork and almonds Bacon with nuts Rashers and cake Sweet cured porker Battenberg Hog Spongy wild boar Smoked back fancy Truffle-hunting cupcake I will eat you too

It’s not ‘cos I shouldn’t, It’s not ‘cos I wouldn’t, You know it’s not ‘cos I couldn’t, It’s simply because I’m the laziest girl in town

When the cold world starts to crack We’ll be inside with the smack of our lips together When the sky turns awfully grey We’ll be inside making hay and love together Our house will be a haven, a place of peace and calm No harm will come to you young man Our house will be a love nest, a place of spice and lust It’s just for you and me young man When the regime just gets worse, We will loudly shout and curse and swear together And if the problems start to mount, We’ll do our best to sort them out and work together Our house will be a haven, a place of peace and calm No harm will come to you young man Our house will be a love nest, a place of spice and lust It’s just for you and me young man Our house will be a haven, a place of peace and calm Our house will be a love nest, a place to keep us warm

Is it hard for you to understand? We can take off into the blue And never land We’ll start flying when I turn the key, You’ll be lying next to me We can’t lose while I hold the map, so Care to cruise in my Kinky Kapsule? Kinky Kapsule Kinky Kapsule When we leave the atmosphere, without oxygen I swear you will never hear surf music again We’ll start flying when I turn the key, You’ll be lying next to me We can’t lose while I hold the map, so Care to cruise in my Kinky Kapsule? Kinky Kapsule Kinky Kapsule

I name the guilty men, I watch them wriggle in the sand I think I will dismember the World with my hands Last night I dreamt of water, though I slept like a log I think I’ll write a letter to the man who killed my dog Oh, let’s export some of this moonlight to Detroit Satyrs and sylvan boys join me for a date I dare say I’ve been sitting up too late I drove at 50 miles an hour, my headlights none too bright The temperature was 98 degrees of Fahrenheit Oh, let’s export some of this moonlight to Detroit It’s 12 o’clock in London, and you are underage Let’s play the music and open the cage You’d be as happy as a sand boy, if only you could Let’s face it, you’ve never had it so good Oh, let’s export some of this moonlight to Detroit

about

Unreleased / unfinished / unwanted...

"I guess that this material didn't get released back when it was recorded, which is a shame, as much of it is superb. It doesn't sound much like Big Block 454's most recent releases, mainly purveying an 80s electro-funk sound, with some truly excellent vocals and samples, and some satisfyingly bizarre lyrics ('my watch-strap smells great'). A work of twisted genius." - Oliver Arditi

about

Big Block 454 Hebden Bridge, UK

Since the late 80s, Big Block 454 has been making exploratory, highly individual music that encompasses rock, funk, electronica, folk music, Dadaist collage and much more besides.
Each band member is a multi-instrumentalist, but Big Block 454’s approach also encompasses the creation of sound on instruments they don’t know how to play, and those that hadn’t been invented before the band made them.
