This song is about a guy who was brought up to be like those long-silver-haired pretty boys in Japanime, but his upbringing clashed with reality. It reads like it was translated from Japanese. It's 1/4 parody, 1/4 delightfully original, 1/4 relaxing and memorable, and 1/4 I'm-glad-I-decided-to-wander-YouTube-aimlessly-for-new-music.
Used to play this to my daughter in the womb! When she was born and ever got upset we would put it on, and behold - she would calm down like she`d had a magic pill. That was 16 years ago and she wouldnt have heard it since. Will try and play it for her - and see what effect it has now. Thanks for posting my amigo!! :-)

"For when the old man stared at me
He drowned in evil beauty
Thinking of the early death in store for me" ...
Nick Currie's words are the best in this fantastic, so moving song. Thanks for uploading.
