about

I loved and love baroque music. I was the kind of early 80s male feminist sympathiser who would write a song about marriage and emphasise domestic violence. This is that child.

lyrics

UNKINDEST CUT

The thinnest dreams blossom in the spring
They say they've thought of everything
In her hands a discounted bouquet
The cage is locked, no turning away
She sees the violence in the hall
She sees the unkindest cut of all

Beneath the veil two wooden eyes
Stare into the last surprise
He shines his fists in anticipation
The chains are gleaming for the consummation
She sees the violence in the hall
She sees the unkindest cut of all

She sees the violence in the hall
She sees the unkindest cut of all
