Incidentally you may keep the change
And here's a book of etiquette
I bought to keep sane
And mutual friends say make amends
And a stitch in time saves nine or ten
Goodbyes
Flesh of my flesh
Flesh of my flesh
Flesh of my flesh
The difference between you and me
Is that the world owes you a living
And you always tow the party line
In your loving and your giving
Our mutual friends say make amends
And a stitch in time saves nine or ten
Goodbyes
Flesh of my flesh
Flesh of my flesh
Flesh of my flesh
Flesh Of My Flesh
Flesh Of My Flesh stands as a distinctive song in the early catalogue of Orange Juice, the pioneering Scottish band that helped define the post-punk and new wave movements of the late 1970s. Led by the visionary Edwyn Collins, the group was known for blending pop sensibilities with art-rock experimentation, often utilizing unconventional song structures and witty, observational lyrics. This recording captures the band's signature sound, characterized by Collins's distinctive vocals and a rhythmic drive that balanced danceable energy with intellectual depth. As part of their formative period, the track reflects the innovative spirit that would later propel the band to critical acclaim. It remains an essential listen for those exploring the roots of Scottish indie music and the unique sonic landscape Orange Juice cultivated during their most influential years.
