about

This was the title track from the 2009 album, 'Three Little Pigs'. It took the concept of the children's story and twisted it around, framing the pigs as criminals and the wolf as the hero. Unfortunately I twisted it a bit too hard and the wolf kind of became a villain himself, or at least an anti-hero.

This version was recorded on 2" 24-track, and the extra flexibility allowed for me to add a drum track missing from the 8-track original The underpinning of the track is now an electric bass instead of the clavinet, which is buried deeper in the mix. The vocals were flown in from the original 1/2" master tape.

lyrics

Three Little Pigs

Well, the first little piggy made his fortune out of spam
Selling dodgy medicines, the perfect little scam
But he didn’t know the price that he would pay
The local mob persuaded him to send a cut their way

Well, the second little piggy made his fortune out of theft
Stealing gold and platinum, he didn’t leave much left
But he didn’t know the price that he would pay
The local mob persuaded him to send a cut their way

Well, the third little piggy made his fortune out of smack
Selling cheap enlightenment, for £30 a whack
But he didn’t know what it would lead him to
The first two piggies hired him, said “We’ve a job for you!”

But they didn’t know their lives of crime would fail
The big bad wolf arrested them, to throw them all in jail
But he didn’t know the price that he would pay
Each little piggy drew a gun and blew my dad away...
