Born To Be Adored Lyrics - Momus

I was created in the fleshpots of Araby 

My mother was the Emperor's secretary 

My father, a notorious libertine 

Escaped from Sodom and Gomorrah, the cities of the plain 

You can read my family's rise and fall in Gibbon 

I was born to be adored by women 

Well Seth begat Clem and then Clem begat Ruth 

And then Ruth begat me and all hell broke loose 

The tribes all began to multiply and boom 

And, looking at their kids, no-one knew from whom 

The beautiful things kept springing 

I was born to be adored by women

My hair is long, distinguished, prematurely grey 

I've got a mouth like Ernest Hemingway's ashtray 

I've fathered 103 illegitimate kids 

I've never met a mother I couldn't bed 

I love children, spiders, snakes, and anything living 

I was born to be adored by women 

Some guys can erect garden furniture 

That must be what God invented husbands for 

But if you need a milk chocolate in the shape of a man 

If you need a chunk of marzipan the size of Taiwan 

Look up the chimney, see what Santa's bringing 

I was born to be adored by women 

Well I know I'm always late since my watch got sold 

But I'm worth the wait, the weight in gold 

After God made me, they broke the mold 

And I've broken all the records with that old song 

Bold girls are so fond of singing 

I was born to be adored by women 

Photos 

Well my favourite bird is the cuckoo, punk 

My favourite beast the funky skunk 

My favourite colour is the emerald green 

Chuck the football king goes when his beauty queen 

Comes to me when she's chucked him in 

I was born to be adored by women 

What I don't know about love technique 

You could scribble in biro on the balls of your feet 

I never wear underwear, I drive a dead beat Landrover 

In my bare feet stark naked, there's always one more river to go swim in 

I was born to be adored by women
