Fantastic song from The Divine Comedy's new album...

Out of the station and through the arcade

Past the antique shops of Regent's Parade

To an innocuous London adress

A quick glance around and then down the wet steps

God only knows what keeps bringing me here

Gambling with everything that I hold dear

One careless word in establishment ears

And bang goes the knighthood the wife and career

You make me feel

You make me feel something

And feeling something beats feeling nothing at all

And nothing at all is what I feel all the rest of the time

If someone sees

If someone hears something

I know it's coming the fear is making me ill

But then fear is part of the thrill

They taught me discipline at boarding school

The consequences of breaking the rules

They said we're just being cruel to be kind

As they beat me to within an inch of my life

So chain me, restrain me and teach me to kneel

Bind me and grind me beneath your high heels

Crack goes the whip, and if someone should tell

Bang goes the knighthood as-well

Well, he's not a knight yet. He's most probably a Member of Parliament, or a high ranking civil servant. He's probably expecting to get a knighthood, which often comes at the end of a distinguished career in politics, etc. Knighthoods can be taken away from people, but probably not for visiting a dominatrix. However, scandal can certainly sway the establishment when it comes to selecting candidates for knighthoods.

@SnowDemonAkuma As did I. Only when I read this. And I've been listening to it since release date.. oops. Also I know imagine it being about Sir Elton John. Which of course makes the dom a man in my eyes. A man wearing heels. Well Neil, nice images you're giving me here. I applaud you sir.

You make me feel something and feeling something beats feeling nothing at all. And nothing at all is what I feel the rest of the time.

So. I just realised this song is about a knight visiting a dominatrix. Welp. I'm an idiot.

@copasdasarvores Not necessarily - fame and adoration go hand in hand, it just means less people know about him to adore him or not as the case may be.

@Kenmorfdublin There are people who just adore him all over the world! isn't that better than fame?

@Asheis20 Totally agree, just criminal how Hannon aka DC, doesn't get the recognition and worldwide fame he deserves.
