Mekons Out Of Desperation (Luxury Chicken Song)

A luxury chicken is something very special and unique and of great value. It is also a hand-paintedMekons T-shirt with a chicken smoking a cigarette on it. Hagar the Womb are very special and unique and of great value and Im glad they didnt really split upthat night at the Hawley Arms even though they stole our rider. Jon Langford 2025

Hagar The Womb – Fare Dodging With The Mekons Rider (3 Beers & A Lemon)

The label image shows Chris knocking back one of the 3 beers on the train. Thissong emerged shortly after beer 3 was downed. Fare Dodging with the Mekons Rider came into being after we supported our all-time favourite band theMekons a few years back in Brighton. Unlike the Hags, they had a bountiful rider including a bowl of fruit topped by a very splendid lemon. When it came to usmaking a mad dash for the train back to London, Ruth sneaked three beers from the Mekons rider into her bag and then found she couldnt leave the lemon!Imbued with lawlessness, we bunked the train after being told we couldnt board it as we had the wrong tickets. We finished the beers before it left the station,but reader – that lemon was never consumed. A sorry end to the citrus but in this song celebrating our evenings gains, it will never be forgotten.
