This Town Just Gave You a Dreamer, 2003
Written by Budapest One, probably?
This Denton-based band made a sort of carnival-gothic rock, with hints of Bertolt Brecht or a particularly dour Elvis Costello. The singer belts out the words like Spacehog's Royston Langdon, the piano pounding along behind him, telling a cryptic tale. I enjoy bombast and can even take literary pretension in the right doses. It's not for everyone, but this song revs my particular engines.
