INSTEAD... I BECAME ANENOME
Unity’s connected to fraternity
And fraternity’s connected to egalité
And egalité’s connected to poverty
And poverty is an enemy
He's living in a lonely tenement
Floor carpeting by excrement
Drinking from a glass of sediment
Trying to live down a speech impediment
Wallowing in second-hand misery
An anti-social history
I learnt all the worst things in life are free
Found the key to the land of the not-so-free
Another stitch in life's rich tapestry
Instead... I Became Anenome
An urgent sea urchin
Who's searching for his own reward
Doesn't know the value of someone else's values
...Or he can't afford to
A poke in the eye of the right
A knee in the social groin
Faux pas and two-headed monsters
Springing from his loins
WHO CARES about the thoughts of a drunken sailor?
WHO CARES about the thoughts of a sunken failure?
He's bleached, washed up, hung out to dry
What'll we do with him? (STICK HIM UP THE CHIMNEY!)
I used all of the money they lent to me
I was beginning to drown in an endless sea
But I learnt not to sit under the apple tree
Instead... I Became Anenome
Learnt all the worst things in life are free
Found the key to the land of the not-so-free
Another stitch in life's rich tapestry
Instead... I Became Anenome
I'm just trying to make my whims meet up with my ideology
When is an indulgence not an indulgence?
When it's a necessity
There's no patent on the obvious
Only on the seven deadly sins
One man's cynicism is another man's philosophy
WHO CARES about the thoughts of a drunken sailor?
WHO CARES about the thoughts of a sunken failure?
One man's fish is another man's poisson
My seventh sin is to choose to be...
(HE CHOSE TO BE ANENOME)
I'm just trying to make my whims meet up with my ideology
(Another stitch in life's rich tapestry)
I used all the money they lent to me
I was beginning to drown in the empty sea (mtc)
But I learnt not to sit under the apple tree
Instead... I Became Anenome
Learnt all the worst things in life are free
Found the key to the land of the not-so-free
Another stitch in life's rich tapestry
Instead... I Became Anenome
Anenome anenome anenome anenome
Anenome anenome anenome anenome
My friend once went berzerk in the dish pit at a restaurant, listening to this song. He stared drumming on everything with knives amd forks. It was awesome.
I’m starting to believe that this guy has an infinite discography
Just discovered Thirwel tonight!
I'm a Einsturdenze Neubauten fan and just decided to look up bands and musicians which Google claims are "similar"....
...and that's how I came across Foetus, Clint Ruin and all of the other Thirlwel projects. He is so far ahead of his time, it really is incredible. Seems that Trent Reznor and his NIN were derived from everything that Thirlwel has ever done before them. I will definitely be adding all of Thirlwel's music to my playlists.
Ironically, my most favorite music that I listen to today I discovered in a similar manner.... by chance. Seems it was meant to be.
first, welcome to being a foetus fan
(1y later)
second, speaking of NIи, thirlwell did two of the remixes on fixed
The album hole was my first listen to him I bought it because I liked the artwork then nail was next then thaw and on it goes 1st 2 albums are an eclectic mix.then don't forget manorexia or steroid maximus or wiseblood projects he produces a lot met him at one of his gigs he's a cool down to earth aussy bloke
40 YEARS?!?! Hard to believe but it holds up!
poverty is an enemy
OMG THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH MAN!!!!!!!! Taco shaped greetings from Mexico.
The perfect end to my favorite album. It really does feel like the final act that it all culminated toward
Light years ahead of its time!
The early eighties.
Well. That was jolly surreal.
See an enemy
Absolutely incredible. There’s so much to love about this…
You are the rock I have bent my musical tastes around. This video really shows off the lyrical work that's gone into the song, more of this kind of visualisation would be amazing for your other songs!
