Suppose someday in Bromley, KentI live my nightmare and I'm sentTo sing for blonde suburban womenBefore the wives of double glazersI'd be Julio Iglesias doing the greats in ArgentinianSuppose they Barry Manilow meSaying show me you're a manWith legs as mottled as salamiI'd say 'Ladies I'm doing the best I can '.

In defense of Scott, it was the 1960's after all. That's like calling Bootsy Collins for not using the Mutron pedal when he was with James Brown...

anyway i'm reviving to say that the scott sings brel album is i think far and away the best thing i've ever heard from scott walker. i'm especially mad for "the girls and the dogs" but the wry turns on "next" are fantastic too. i mean yeah melodramatic, but the arrangements! so precise! the range of inflection! pardon the pop-theory but every track is like a crash course in dialogism. is each line in quotes, sideways quotes, winking quotes, bold quotes, quotes with sidelong glances to other quotes, etc.
also the album cover -- omg.

I remember buying the cassette of this album for, like, 25p in a library sale because it had this cover version on it. It's a good one.
