Casanova is the only track on the album that I dislike.

:shock: :lol: Rappers go on about where to insert their enormous erected powertools all the time. So this means they're all closet queens? Oh dear......

was more concerned abt the word "rape" too, seems out of place in a good song. Made all the worse by the context of it bein a dream of rape????

...I'm more put off by "rape" than "erection"......
Initially, I felt the same way, but I think Neil quite cleverly uses the rape fantasy to show how utterly sad and pitiful Casanova has become; I have to say though that I have only listened to the song a couple of times, so I may be wrong.
"Unprofessional? Us? Sir. Might I with due respect remind you that Mister Vandemar and myself burned down the City of Troy? We brought the Black Plague to Flanders. We have assassinated a dozen kings, five popes, half a hundred heroes and two accredited gods. Our last commission before this was the torturing to death of an entire monastery in sixteenth century Tuscany. We are utterly professional." - Mr Croup

He's led a sheltered life you can tell. His mum still makes him his ready brek every morning.

Hetrosexulaity is the new homosexuality, eh, Techno?

I think I myself may have had an erection on Monday night when Neil put his arms around me, was either that or Agent D popping his hand in my pocket to buy the next round. :roll:
You don't have to be beautiful, but it helps!

That always happens to Neil when I'm in his company. He's a dirty old man at heart.
