it's not for faint-hearted or prude-headed. Get your sarcasm out of the closet and laugh with The Twin.
"We had the best sex... and you weren' there!"
Lyrics are quoted as I hear them (there were no lyrics with the promo CD, so I had to make them up...)
Here Cum The Girls part 2
I prefer George's parts (no pun intended) in this version, but female vocals sounded better on the original track ... kinda preferred the rhythm better in the first version, but at least I can understand lyrics in this one � lol ...
*** 8/10 ***
�They locked me up for the loving crime
Too many men, too many lies!�
�All men are liars
Dirty filthy liars
They start wars
And they start fires� "Relax, not EVERYONE is gay!"
Track 2
Yum Yum
Melody and vocals underneath (except for the chorus) are the good old George I know and love! Adore George's voice in "your kiss was dirty" bit...
***9/10*** SO BOY GEORGE! ;)
�your kiss was dirty, it was pure filth, and I said � yum yum�
�Don�t mess with my head, don�t smoke in my bed�
"no I ain�t gonna slit my wrists
cause you don�t use your tongue when you kiss"
Track 3
Electro Hetero
Didn�t seem to be much different from the single version (or is it really the same?) Like it. It would get 10 out of 10 if I wouldn�t be a little bit tired of it by now � I have worn this one out. Still the best thing about 7" single was the cover! ;)
***8/10***
Track 3
Disco Ugly
� Funny� Very funny!
***7/10***
�You must be fucking joking???�
Track 5
Size Queen
A bit of Rammstein in the voice, innit? Actually, Rammstein meets Eminem! lol
***8/10*** (few extra points for the subject matter and great great lyrics. Musically one of my least favourites, BUT growing on me really fast...)
"I am overweight
You�re overrated
And if the truth to be known
I am sexually frustrated
Make a joke before they do
Don�t let them get one over you
We've all got a cross to bear
Why did I lose my hair?
Thank god for money in the bank
Thank god for bitterness and wit
How sad you think I really care
It only hurts a little bit..."
Track 6
Human Racing
The arrangement seems strange� did they speed it up or something? Not sure if I like the guitars on this track� Originally it is still one of my favourite Twin tracks ever!
***9/10*** (I prefer Replicant Mix that�s been floating around for a while)
�I love you just the way you are
But if only you could change!�
Track 7
So much love
Very lovely, almost too nice to be on the Twin CD... ;) but missing something to catch my breath� Doesn�t quite do it for me!
***6/10***
Track 8
Sanitized
Typically Twin, isn�t it?
***6/10*** cause I preferred (again) the Replicant mix.
Track 9
Fire-Desire (featuring Avenue D)
Hilarious!!! There is no other word for it! I�d say only Avenue D and George can get away with it cause it�s a mess of a song but I love it for the lyrics and for it�s total craziness (and great rhyming!) Must be a real treat when done live (and I am still kicking myself for not seing Avenue D live in all those long weeks that I spent in NYC!)
***9/10***
�I told you boy that man is mine
So you better stay away from his behind�
Track 10
Garden of Eden
A few nice lines, but not amongst my favourites.
***5/10***
Track 11
Who Made U
BRILLIANT!!! Nothing else to add. My absolute favourite!
Actually... in the sound and the lyrics it really reminds me of my favourite George�s solo tracks from the last � I don�t know how many, maybe even last 10 years - Psychology of the Dreamer and Poverty.
***10/10***
Track 12
Never Over You
My second favourite after Who Made You. Killer track (and yes I am using �killer� as an adjective ;))
***10/10***
�You can cry if you really need to
Won�t make you less of man
Understand
I am never over you
No won�t do�
Track 13
After Dark
Rather nice!
***9/10***
�His beauty fell in my hands
Quite by chance�
�Strange things happening after dark
How will we feel tomorrow I forgot to ask��
All in all, I give Yum Yum 8 out of 10 for music, 9 out of 10 for lyrics, 10 out of 10 for idea and 11 out of 10 being inventive, original and never boring !
