Did you mention that you
have perfect pitch
and played the trombone
with these famous opera singers
Back in the thirties you appeared
as an acrobat in the parks
and you enjoy
being at the healthy age of eighty
of course you are proud
And you are a licensed magician
With over three thousand
Registered tricks
and your wife died of cancer
If it wasn’t for you
that principal
character would never
have dared to enter the stage
Your lectures about Arthur Doyle
were extremely appreciated
And you are on
your way upstairs ‘cause
these directors
want to use your scripts
of course you are proud
And you deny that alcoholism
could be classified as
a real disease
since you recover so damn well from it
And you despise those jealous scum
who haven’t achieved
any magnificence
compared to your urge to tell us all this

Reissue of the snarling, nasty 2013 album by Housewives is full of feral post-punk, the kind with sharp edges and sneering vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 23, 2017
