Introducing: Marmaduke Dando
Marmaduke Dando releases his debut album Heathcliffian Surly on 3rd Sept 2010 at Hoxton Hall in London.
My name is Marmaduke Dando Hutchings and I am a singer of morose ballads and frisky jigs. I write about all the horrors and beauties of the modern world, and bark them back at it with my dear band on the cold and regimented performance stages of London. I am originally from Portsmouth on the south coast of England, born and raised there until the dull glare of the capital became so unbearable that I fled towards it. (from: marmadukedando.com)
Lyrics of "If This Is Civilisation":
The snivelling remains of humanity,
Scooped up off the floor and served back to itself.
Masticated already in preparation,
For the toothless masses of this dying nation. If this is civilisation, I want no part in it. To think one can comprehend so little,
Yet live in such complexity is nothing short of a riddle.
The deeply satisfying myth of progress,
That faceless object that offers divine purpose.
If this is civilisation, I want no part in it. Another day, another horror.
No one seems remotely bothered.
Sat there all day twiddling little machines,
Sucking on dicks of men they've never even seen. If this is civilisation, I want no part in it. I would burn my right hand in a slow fire,
To change the future before we expire, If this is civilisation, I want no part in it. The division of labour has outsourced your mind,
The spunk's gone dead, you can't fuck for your life. If this is civilisation, if this is civilisation, if this is civilisation, if this is civilisation, I want no part in it
