about

This is the third single from our self-titled debut album, which will be released next week. Recorded live in the summer of 2019 in our cave at the Flatterschafft Arts Center in Basel.

We put the poem ‘Regime de Vivre’ to our music. Written around 1671/73 by Lord John Wilmot, the 2nd Earl of Rochester, the libertine bluntly describes his daily routine of whoring, drinking, regurgitating and buggering one’s servants. It is believed that this is the first time the word ‘punk’ appears in a written text.

A libertine is one devoid of most moral principles, a sense of responsibility, or sexual restraints, which are seen as unnecessary or undesirable. Libertinism is described as an extreme form of hedonism. A writer of the profane and lewd, Wilmot died at the age of thirty-three.

lyrics

Eleven Again (The History of Punk)


I rise at eleven
Dine about two
Get drunk before seven
And the next thing I do

I send for my whore
When for fear of a clap
I spend in her hand
And I spew on her lap

Then we quarrel and scold
Till I fall fast asleep
When the bitch growing bold
To my pocket does creep

Then slyly she leaves me
To revenge the affront
At once she bereaves me
Of money and cunt

And by chance then I wake
Hot headed and drunk
What a coil do I make
For the loss of my punk!

I storm and I roar
And I fall in a rage
And missing my whore
I bugger my page

Then crop-sick all morning
I rail at my men
In bed I lie yearning
Till eleven again

Till eleven again
Till eleven again
Till eleven again
Till eleven again

I rise at eleven
I dine about two
Get drunk before seven
And the next thing I do

I send for my whore
When for fear of a clap
I spend in her hand
And I spew on her lap

Then we quarrel and scold
Till I fall fast asleep
When the bitch gets growing bold
To my pocket does creep

Eleven again
Eleven again
Eleven again
Eleven again
