We had a Radio Leeds live session and the sound technician, Dave Crickmore really got into this track. He was so taken with it in fact that he invited us to support his band at a gig in Leeds, which we did.

lyrics

I'm a starchild here on this earth
brought to life through a virgin birth
but I am not your new messiah
man is my maker and my designer

he made me, made me what I am

My home's a lab my mum's a dish
my dad's a sperm bank in Memphis
I'm a mother's contribution
a little orphan of confusion

a little orphan, all alone. I'm scared

20th century do you recognise me?
20th century do you recognise me?

My DNA is all twisted
look at my arms there all blistered
I'm a monster running wild
the scientist and the doctor smiled

they smiled at me
they recognised me - I'm their child!

Mommy! Daddy!
Mommy! Daddy!
Mommy! Daddy!
