ODD Cessie was a bad girl She took more than she need She took her drugs as a body rub And gave birth to violent seeds She’d greet the dawn with a stifled yawn And looked in without a key

Odd, odd, oddity She was some oddity Odd, odd, oddity She was some oddity

Cessie was some party poop She always blew the lites She used the mains as a terminal drain And got the boys to fight And for lust she peaked on any stuff That gave her second sight

Odd, odd, oddity She was some oddity Odd, odd, oddity She was some oddity

Cessie was a metal maid A sad heart armoured star Sealed up in a mess of tin She said “So few, so fast, so far!” She walked around with a store-bought frown Got a chauffeur but no car

Odd, odd, oddity She was some oddity Odd, odd, oddity She was some oddity

Odd, odd, oddity She was some oddity Odd, odd, oddity She was some oddity Odd, odd, oddity She was some oddity Odd, odd, oddity She was some oddity Odd, odd, oddity She was some oddity Odd, odd, oddity She was some oddity

Cessie was a bad girl She took more than she need She took her drugs as a body rub And gave birth to violent seeds She’d greet the dawn with a stifled yawn And looked in without a key

Odd, odd, oddity She was some oddity Odd, odd, oddity She was some oddity

Pressurised, ionised, certified and more Madonna face without the grace With the kiss-me clothes she wore Sanitised, sanforised, polarised for war The human race is not her case She won’t tell you what she saw

Pressurised, ionised, pressurised, ionised Pressurised, ionised, pressurised, ionised Pressurised, ionised, pressurised, ionised Pressurised, ionised, pressurised, ionised

Words by Peter Greatorex. Copyright (c) Wud Records 1990, (p) Pig Pen Music 1989.

This song is in the key of A minor. Occasionally it goes to G, but not for long and not too often. According to Pete, this song is about a scarf he used to own. Hmmm… The guitar riff at the beginning is played around the 12th fret. The guitar riff near the end is also played around the 12th fret and is Am7, Am13, Am7, Am6. Marc’s bassline is largely mysterious and impossible to play for other humans. Richard uses a Yamaha DX7 and invented all the sounds you hear himself. During the long chorus where everybody yells a line, Pete goes first, then George, then Richard, then Marc, then Graham, then everyone.
