Single Review
It is a matter for conjecture as to whether or not The Divine Comedy’s quirkiness has been an asset or a liability for them in the past? Whatever the answer is, they are not changing their approach on the evidence of this second single from the tempting, Victory for the Comic Muse album. Neil Hannon has changed the line up for The Divine Comedy more times than Sven has changed the England one, only Hannon has not lost any momentum because of this. Alluring female vocal backing and a quaint brass section infused accompaniment, sets things up for the lyrics that picks up underdog life from the floor, sticks a cherry on it and makes it good enough to eat;
The other day I discovered a magazine of my brother’s.
I read it under the covers; it got me all hot and bothered.
Now every time that I see you, your uniform becomes see through.
You don’t know how much I need you, the Handy Andy’s I’ve been through;
I don’t want to, sha la la laa, die a virgin.
The Divine Comedy remain stoic in their quaint indie way and many people will still be grateful for this.
