Lyrics

The man in the moon is a fucking fuck Looking down on me like I’m fucking up

The man in the moon can go suck a twat Looking smug as fuck at everything I’m not

You look just like my daddy...

Or that guy from the subway who put his hand upon my leg And moved it up towards my crotch And licked his lips before he talked

The man in the moon says I’m nothing much And I’ll never be anything as such

The man in the moon has got it out for me Though I’ve only tried to make him proud you see

He sounds just like my daddy

Ok now… I’ve listened to this like 9 times in a row. You do creepy bonkers weird so good.

@artie 1d

Aww thank you so much 🤪

@jeremykazoo 2d

This has me roaring from the very start that backup vocal is just perfection. Loved every part of this song - it's funny, emotional and just a great song on its own.

@artie 2d

Thanks, man. I’m glad you appreciated the humour alongside the pseudo evocative package.

@quadrivium 2d

Oh my god I am laughing so hard! That second voice egging on the first voice and commenting. It's just so much like a dirty little muppet. What a great song!

@ttg105 4d

Weird and wonderful. Love the second voice commenting on the first. Great grit in the vocal. Lyrics offensive and funny!

@n1742 5d

Great song. Powerful delivery and very funny. The background voices are a great idea.

@greenrocks 5d

Here's to the moon in the man. He should not have done that. But i'm sure glad you did.

@ally_nicole 5d

I wasn't sure what to expect coming to this one lol but wow. Considering the fact that I fully believe the moon is a creep after reading A Tale Dark and Grimm (IYKYK-), this feels totally on-brand honestly. Great job! :)

@djtjb 1w

So touching and beautiful. I wish the moon were my daddy too. Your delivery never misses, your adlibs really gas this whole shebang up. Loved it duder.

@nahlej381 1w

I laughed out loud and woke up my sleeping ass pitbull so damn good dude. The lines are genius the performance is impeccable

@artie 1w

Thanks, my dude. I knew you'd appreciate the humour.

@billwhite51 1w

love those dual voices ..works for me like the spoken words echo the voice in the head. linking the man in the moon to a father is an imaginative leap that pays off. excellent use of obscenity and visual images of sexually invasive actions. this one sucked me right in with its seductive music and surface vulgarity.

@artie 1w

Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Bill. I was thinking similarly like the guy was having a dialogue with himself. That only occurred to me after the fact though.

@funnypunkband 1w

I love how totally unique your songs are. It's beautiful and grotesque at the same time. Which is to say, awesome.

@artie 1w

Thanks, Nick! I appreciate your comment a lot. Made me go back and re-listen with that in mind.

@nancycunning 1w

For me that gentle guitar that cradles the singing is a reminder that it’s always an option to step away from my defensive story lines and choose peace love and understanding. But there’s such a pull like the moon on the tides.

@debs 1w

Wot. How did you make it sound so bass-y? Adding yet another nod to Tom Waits; love the mix of serious/comedic you're so good at.

@slusk 1w

Yeah, simple and harmonic but yet so expressive. Nice one. +1 for the Waitsiness. I approve. You may continue. ;)

@ductapeguyTEAM 1w

You haven't as much captured the essence of a raspy-voiced talking blues folk song. You have held it hostage. This is brilliant.

@ruby 1w

Wow you’re not pulling any punches!! The directness is so powerful. Love the vocals with the echoing /repetition of the lyrics. At risk of comparison and it’s a complement it’s got atom Waits vibe going on. Love it.

@artie 1w

Thanks, Andrea. A appreciate the comparison. I get that sometimes when I sing in that timbre.

@hyssop 1w

Stick it to them! The background interjections are so atmospheric. I love how the guitar is so gentle while the lyrics & delivery are more angry. It makes for a really interesting message, especially given the story some of the lyrics seem to point to. This is so well done!
