about
One day I woke up and thought,” I don’t want to write another “Duncan Reid” song. I want to write something different”. I’d been listening to 1920s German Cabaret Music, as you do, which had a bearing as I thought,” I know: I’m going to write a waltz. That’s different”.
Having written the music I knew immediately it was one for Alex Musatov. He brought in his mate, Manuel Barrios on the bandoneon, a weird Argentine squeezebox. Just listen to their combined genius. The Godfather performed in La Boca, Buenos Aires.
At the end I asked Alex to play a sad, single violin. “Imagine a deluded ego crippled by the sadness of failure” I said. Alex sent back the part with a note: “I’m Russian. If you want it any sadder you’ll have to send vodka”.
Lyrically the story is one of a fictional character born into privilege. He goes to the richest school in the land where the headmaster complains of his over blown sense of entitlement. He is a cad and a charmer but has a fatal flaw: he can’t stop lying. His charm lends him enormous success with women with whom he fathers an undetermined number of illegitimate children. He is sacked from a number of jobs for lying including by a prominent newspaper for whom, as their correspondent in Brussels, he makes up stories such as “the straight banana directive”. His charm and unscrupled willingness to support populist policies makes him a very successful politician, first as Mayor of London and later as Prime Minister. Along the way he’s able to feather the nest of many, including a busty, blond mistress he gives a contract to as his “Tech Advisor”.
Ultimately he’s brought down because he just can’t follow the rules he himself brings in for the “little people” and, instead of coming clean, can’t stop lying about it.
Such a character could never exist, of course, let alone become Prime Minister of the UK. But imagine if he did and sang his own version of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way”. That is this song.
lyrics
It’s already too late to regret a mistake once you’ve made it
You’ve already made it, now
So best to move on
So if you’re the cleaner who cleans up the mess in the Wuhan bat market
Just sweep on as you whistle this song
Oh what’s the point in regretting today
Deeds you’re best off forgetting for ever
Never regret, it won’t pay
why be the one who is wasting away
With the cares of the world on your shoulders
Be pretty and witty and gay
Would I lie to you
The more I know men well the more I like dogs
Is my modus operandi
Well, It works for me
They’ll keep a secret, and never repeat it
And who needs people, squawking and scribbling
When writing is not the right thing
Some say better the devil you know
I say better when the devil knows your
Name and you’re chums with him too
Anyway, when I’m dead they’ll say I was the best
They’ll say he was a rogue but we liked him
He got things done he passed the test
