I Wish Bums Had Been Big in the Nineties (The Mandy's Front Room Sessions)

Big bums are all the rage these days. Didn't used to be though....

lyrics

CHORUS
I wish bums had been big in the nineties (x 3)
But bums were not big in the nineties

And we didn't know who Khloe Kardashian was
And we didn't know who Kim Kardashian was
We were all trying to look like Kate Moss
Well I've seen more meat on a used piece of dental floss
CHORUS

And Britpop was pretty much a bum-free zone
Yeah Jarvis showed his arse but there was not much to show Justine -
Frischmann, Louise Werner were the ones we tried to ape
But it’s hard to look androgynous with a classic pear shape (So I wish…)
CHORUS

And J Lo did her best in the noughties, to make-
A big bum a thing to be flaunted
But that was too late to help the self esteem
Of a miserable midlands-based big bummed teen (that's why I wish...)
CHORUS

about

Helen Rice Is Showing Off Sheffield, UK

I write songs and poems about grief, sex, love, insects and bread. Also bums. Lots of things really. I do a mixture of acapella singing, very basic accordion playing and spoken word. Some people really don't like it. Illustration by Works Of Ant. Profile photo by Heatherson Photography heathersonphotography.com
