Ocean Wave Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 A friend got me into Patrick Wolf so I downloaded a load of his songs and most of them are quite good. (not as good as Mika obviously!) So here I am doing my coursework listening to my music on shuffle when I hear... I was still a child when you caught me and tied me to your bed you gave me shoes and pretty clothes, and i gave you what i had between my legs Just a rite of passage, you held me down and said "I'm gonna be your right of passage, so boy you better spread, spread em" Patrick Wolf - The Child Catcher I dont know what you guys think but to me this seems a bit wrong and generally disturbed. This isnt the sort of thing you sing about!! What are your fealings?
CazGirl Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 You don't usually sing about "big girls" or bisexual men lol but that does seem a bit disturbing
Ocean Wave Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 But you definetly dont sing about THAT!! BIg girls and Billy Brown arent the most 'normal' songs but at least they arnt disturbed... --ESSEX Gal!!!
Mika4Life13 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 VERy disturbing but i have seen grosser things in yelle songs...
Diana Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Everyone is free to sing about whatever they like.. and in turn.. you are free to choose whether or not to listen to it.
Ocean Wave Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 yes, unfortunately. I see your point, Im one too, but only becasue I was born in PAH. People are agreeing! Im not the only one that thinks its disturbing...!
Ruth Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 He is known as avant guarde. Which I guess means coming from an unusual place. I only like magic positition and I bet most of his fans hate it for being too commercial.
jemmalee Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 yes, unfortunately. Oi, be proud! Essex is nice! Don't get me started:naughty:
calicojasmine Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 We already knew Patrick Wolf was disturbed. This merely confirms the obvious.
CazGirl Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Oi, be proud! Essex is nice! Don't get me started:naughty: CHELMSFORD IS NICE! CANVEY ISN'T! ever been here?!
Ocean Wave Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 Oi, be proud! Essex is nice! Don't get me started:naughty: You be Essex also? You can't be from near Harlow... That is NOT a good bit of Essex... I assume you're from a nice bit of Essex...

This isnt the sort of thing you sing about!! What are your fealings? But disturbing lyrics are fun! XD; I'd rather hear that sort of stuff than all the Pop Idol/"YO MAH HOMIES IN DAH CLUB"/boring samey chartrock kind of music out there any day. Oh, and if you think that's "wrong and disturbed", have a listen to Necro or Cannibal Corpse
I <3 MIKA!!! Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 i like his music but i have to say he is a bit ODD! lol he stripped on stage at a concert and when i mean strip i mean showing his arse for the whole audience to see he also called mika a twat:thumbdown:
wasabi_tea Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 i like his music but i have to say he is a bit ODD! lol he stripped on stage at a concert and when i mean strip i mean showing his arse for the whole audience to see he also called mika a twat:thumbdown: Ah yes, the Patrick's Arse Controversy... that amused me, that did
I <3 MIKA!!! Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Ah yes, the Patrick's Arse Controversy... that amused me, that did so i am guessing u read perez hilton also:naughty: or did u find out on ur own
wasabi_tea Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 so i am guessing u read perez hilton also:naughty: or did u find out on ur own There was a whole thread on here about it, I'm sure... (unless it was part of the Patrick Wolf appreciation thread-type-thinger, 'twas a while back now and I can't remember!)

This isnt the sort of thing you sing about!! What are your fealings? I think it's an exceptional song. It's really personal and also very smart in so many ways. And it's a pretty fascinating look at something that yes, generally is not talked about, from three different points of view--which we hardly ever get when the issue is discussed elsewhere. --Jack

AKateisaKate Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Wouldn't say it's "wrong." It's expression. You can't be wrong about your own osong lyrics. Is what it is.
wasabi_tea Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Or Shiina Ringo's "La Salle De Bain" Naww, that's got nothing on Necro or Cannibal Corpse, I tell ya! Seriously, just Google their lyrics or something, pretty sick stuff! (Though SO much fun to listen to! XD)
xx_emily_x Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 lol. i like patrick wolf's other songs, but yeah i noticed the lyrics for the childcatcher were a bit strange.. i like his song 'enchanted' though.
EnFa Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Maybe he had a reason to write this song? It's really good. SO many layers, 2 points of views.. And the spooky music. Uhh.
