Longpigs, from Sheffield, were one of the more memorable bands who rose to fame on the fringe of Britpop in the 1990s, comprising Crispin Hunt (vocals), Richard Hawley (guitar), Simon Stafford (bass) and former Cabaret Voltaire member Dee Boyle (drums). The band name refers to the litteral translation of the word for 'human' or 'person' from cannibal tribal language.
The group initially signed with Elektra Records in 1993. However, just before they released their first single, two tragedies struck the band.

(SAME CHORDS AS BEFORE....) Your staring buck naked at the world, no fig leaf needed, pure as gold, burst all this complicated bliss that rots the love of God who stood where Moses trod the lucky sod. And fizz the first touch of your tongue, flinched like the grip of moist uncle, sniff sweet cocaine and disco sick, cos I can drink to this, every shot of bliss, Aw shucks.

F#EB Make it feel like stealers tongue, a real flesh eater. Db/Bb Fortune smiles on the the whites of the teeth, so white, so clean, so bite B me bite me bite me as aniseed candy. Db/Bb And in the parks they skate to flow it all out, It's all out, they're all B out, they're all out I'm so glad they're all out.
