about

The end of this song includes the recorded death certificate of Isidore Ducasse, a.k.a. the Comte de Lautreamont.

lyrics

In the siege of Paris
Dogs’ meat sold at 2 and a half francs a pound
Cats’ meat 12 francs a pound

I wrote a poem today
It was 20 cm long
Something puerile but necessary
2 and a half francs a pound

I hope my oblivion will be complete tonight

The sewing machine is the surgeon working on this old umbrella
I’ve been typecast as the human fool in this insect operetta
Since I became an awful person my poetry is better

I’m sick of God, who’s spying on my dreams all of the time

The sound you are hearing
Is not the Prussians in the zone
It is the groan of Poetry and Prostitution
coupled in a winter wind.

There is a problem with the moon.

The twenty fourth of November, eighteen hundred and seventy, two p.m., death certificate of Isidore Lucien Ducasse, man of letters, aged twenty-four, born in Montevideo (South America), died this morning at eight o’clock in his domicile, Rue du Faubourg Montmartre, 16 – single (no further information).
