Before lockdown I never paid all that much attention to lyrics and the really bad news is it has inspired me to write stuff

I love all of the unplugged album, but this got to me yesterday

Always liked this when it was first released in 1967, what I had forgotten was the BBC banned it because of the risque lyrics. A certain Radio 1 Dj (Simon Dee) ignored the instruction and played it on his show twice and was subsequently suspended by the BBC. The song only mentions becoming a Gigolo, drug taking (opium), enticing young girls into prostitution while running a Brothel, getting regularly pi**ed and it got banned for that, it's PC gone mad I tells ya! Originally by Jacques Brel and also recorded by Marc Almond, I still think this is the definitive version of it with great orchestration and Scott Walker's superb vocals.

Well, all that and basically becoming God as well, just to tick all the bases..... What was the BBC’s problem FFS? [emoji23]

The absolute GENIUS and no f###s given of "former teen pop heartthrob" Scott Walker.

I must admit I've never heard the original so will have a look.
