Actually, he does but he doesn't give a fuck, having ascended a childhood of toughing it out in the projects of Witch City, crafting sonic soliliquies that would ferment into "contemporary music for the bizarre at heart...electronica and classical works [that] operate in a style unlike any other." ♠︎

JMS has confounded Berklee elves, conservatory tards, and other upper crustaceans with a "restless compositional philosophy that will not resonate with listeners expecting concise, neatly packaged musical content."♣︎ and an "unapologetically strange and jarring...captivating and enigmatic soundscape of obscure lounge music that will set your five senses alight." ♦︎

Swiss Lorraine
J. M. Smig Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I get the hunger
I pull you from cold storage
Slide out the drawer and find you
Lookin' good as porridge
I love the way that
Your smell comes with age
That funky cheese aroma
Puts me in a rage

Swiss Lorraine
I'm gonna eat you again
Bitin' down hard
But you won't feel the pain
Swiss Lorraine
I'm gonna eat you again
Spread it like a lover
All over the grain
Got your yellow holes
Spread out on the table
Your baby's in the next room
Thinkin' he's Clark Gable
Starin' in the mirror
Mournin' his roots
Tryin' on your makeup
And wearin' your boots
Swiss Lorraine
I'm gonna eat you again
Bitin' down hard
But you won't feel the pain
Swiss Lorraine
I'm gonna eat you again
Spread it like a lover

All over the grain
Coffee with Phyllis!
