Mutter Tour DVD Petition

The Mutter tour in the early noughties was pretty spectacular, with the band being spat out of a giant womb at the start of the show, delivered by Flake, the most insane midwife ever. A petition has been established to ask that the footage of this show that was filmed at the time be released as a DVD. You can sign this here.

LILT: Mutter 3.1

The ancient children shed cold tears
I thread those onto a white hair
I hurl the whole thing in the air
And wish that I had my own mother

No sun shines down on me
There's no milk-filled breast to feed
There's a tube that chokes my gullet
I've no navel on my stomach

Mother

I've had no nipple on which to suckle
I've had no warm place I was tucked in
I've never had a proper naming
Sired in haste and without semen

To the mother that never bore me
I have on this night sworn
To send her a painful fever
Then submerge her in the river

Mother

In her lungs there lives an eel
On my forehead the mark is sealed
I'll cut it out with a knife
Even if it ends my life

Mother

In her lungs there lives an eel
On my forehead the mark is sealed
Purge it with a knife's keen edge
Even if I bleed to death

Mother
Oh grant me strength

I'm not sure. I've gone back to 'mother' in verse one (as opposed to mère), but I may go back. I've also fixed the rhythmic issues in verse three.

LILT: Mutter 1.2

The ancient children shed cold tears
I thread those onto a white hair
I hurl the whole thing in the air
And wish that I had my own mère

No sun shines down for me
There's no milk-filled breast to feed
There's a tube that chokes my gullet
I've no navel on my stomach

Mother

I had no nipple to suckle
I had no warm place I was tucked in
I've never had my own name
Sired in haste and without semen

To the mother that never bore me
I have on this night sworn
To send her a painful fever
Then submerge her in the river

Mother

In her lungs there lives an eel
On my forehead the mark is sealed
Purge it with the kiss of a knife
Even if it ends my life

Mother

In her lungs there lives an eel
On my forehead the mark is sealed
Purge it with a knife's keen edge
Even if I bleed to death

Mother
Oh grant me strength

LILT: Mutter 1.0

Okay, so I got the basics down faster than I expected. Note that this is very much early days:

The ancient children shed their tears
I thread those onto a white hair
I hurl the whole thing in the air
And wish that I had my own mother

No sun shines down for me
There's no milk-filled breast to feed
There's a tube that chokes my gullet
I've no navel on my stomach

Mother

I never had nipples to suck on
I had no warm place I was tucked in
I've never had my own name
Sired in haste and without semen

To the mother that never bore me

That I'll send her a deadly fever
Then submerge her in the river

Mother

On my forehead the mark is sealed
Purge it with the kiss of a knife
Even if it ends my life

In her lungs there lives an eel
On my forehead the mark is sealed
Purge it with a knife's keen edge
Even if I bleed to death

Mutter

I've opted to work on Mutter next. It's full of dark feelings and visuals, and some of it's tricky to work within, so it's going to take me a while. I have the basics of the first two verses, but don't want to post a partial, so it'll have to wait. I'll post something as soon as I've got at least the foundation of the whole song.
