‘Man Is The Animal’ is the fourth track from the Nurse With Wound album A Sucked Orange. It features an audio sample of a witch-like woman reciting the sphinx’s riddle and presumably cursing or killing a man who tries escaping from her clutches.
Man is the animal
who walks on four legs as a child!
On two when he's fully grown!
And on three when he's old and needs a stick!
(Hurry, the attic!)
And you'll shout, 'hurry the attic!'
You'll say that!
And since your cry only confirms your failure
I shall call my assistant, and hiss
and whoopies!
And I shall make you go down on your knees! (Oh, this sensation!)
Go on, go on! (Oh, please!)
That's right! (No!)
Do what you're told! (No!)
And you'll bend your head!
Hands and elbows are bound forwards! (No!)
He would open his off-right jaw!
[sounds of screaming, gets cut off abruptly]
Nurse With Wound released Man Is The Animal on Fri Dec 01 1989.
