07 The Tree of Knowledge
The Words: The Hit. Odd to think that I originally dismissed this as a bit of lighthearted chaff, good for an EP track 4 but no more. Anyway releasing a single with 20 fucks in it wasn't the best idea. Radio One also chose to censor the word 'vagina' by flipping it backwards - despite this not being swearing. They didn't censor 'engorged phalluses' - possibly because they didn't know what it meant. Ideally they could have just played the whole song backwards in which case the third verse would have been recognisably forwards. This song contains satanic messages whichever way you play it.
FYI: Children do better in single sex schools because those schools are also invariably selective in some way, which means parental support, intelligence, lack of disruption from ADD kidz... may also have something to do with it. Old fart teachers are obsessed with sex. Victorian relics clinging to outmoded etc etc. Kids fuck each other, deal with it. Sex doesn't stop them learning properly. Religion, however, does.
The Music: This song was recorded live in a single take with no overdubs. It features a shaky egg.
