Screaming Lord Sutch was born in North London. His father, a war reserve policeman, was killed in an accident when his son was 10 months old. His mother - to whom he was devoted - was a fan of Dickens; she christened him David after David Copperfield. For most of the next fifteen years they shared a flat and poverty in what he called a dead-end street in Kilburn, while she worked as a cleaner and shop assistant. Entertainment was Saturday morning pictures and the Metropolitan Music Hall, Edgeware Road. In 1956, after David had left school, they moved to South Harrow, where he became a window cleaner.
It was the birth of British rock music; a time when the young and desperate could pursue a new escape route. What he called his 'wild man of Borneo look' got Screaming Lord Sutch a spot singing at the Two I's coffee bar in Soho. His style evolved, or lurched, out of that slurry of music hall (he was a Max Miller fan), horror movies, Grand Guignol, pulp comics, slapstick and transatlantic pop. Thus did the black American rhythm & blues singer Screaming Jay Hawkins provide a name, and the basis of an act.
In 1961 he was spotted by the curious and doomed independent record producer Joe Meek. "I was doing the horror", said Sutch, "screaming and yelling. I had 18 inches of hair and I was running around in buffalo horns and my auntie's leopardskin coat. The scout said 'You've got a different approach. You want to make a record?'". Screaming Lord Sutch made records, and recorded with a clutch of (later) distinguished British rock musicians. The early subject matter focused on disembowelment and graveyards - on one occasion Meek posed Screaming Lord Sutch as Jack the Ripper in Whitechapel at night. Both men, observed Sutch, were intrigued by horror films. But he had no real hits. Indeed, by 1963 his career had been swamped by the Mersey boom.
It was then that he went to Stratford, campaigning for commercial radio, votes at 18, abolition of dog licences and his share of the spotlight, with the mix of native wit and puerility that marked his aimless - or dadaist - media courtship. The live act around Europe, and playing small halls and pubs, provided an income.
His last political hurrah was in the 1995 Littleborough and Saddleworth byelection (the OMRLP didn't have the money to run in the last European elections). But more than finances, it was perhaps the times that had finally run out.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come in this house, woman, stop all that yakity yak
Stop your yappin' woman you're nothing but an alley cat
You come on in here, talkin' bout this and that
You come on in here woman talkin' bout this and that
Don't you make me nervous I'm holding a baseball bat
Honey hush, oh, you're talkin' too much
I'm a gonna love you honey
I'm takin' no more this stuff
[Chorus]
Well it's
Hi-ho, hi-yo silver
Hi-ho, hi-yo silver
Hi-ho, hi-yo silver
Hi-ho, hi-yo silver
Hi-yo silver
Hi-yo silver away
You come on in here, talkin' bout this and that
You come on in here woman talkin' bout this and that
Don't you ever make me nervous
Cause I'm holding a baseball bat
Honey hush, you're talkin' too much
Honey hush, oh, you're talkin' too much
Well, I'm a gonna love you honey
I ain't takin' no more a this stuff
[Chorus]
The song "Honey Hush" by Screaming Lord Sutch & the Savages is about a man who is tired of his woman constantly talking and yapping about various subjects. He asks her to come into the house and stop her yakity yak, calling her an alley cat. He tells her that she's making him nervous and that he's holding a baseball bat. He then sings the chorus of Honey Hush, saying that she's talking too much and that he's not going to take it anymore.
The lyrics of this song are quite comical and portray a man who is clearly fed up with his woman's nonstop talking. However, it's also possible that the song could be seen as a commentary on the societal expectations of women to be quiet and submissive. Women who challenge these expectations and speak their minds are often criticized or punished, as seen in the man's response to his woman's talking.
Overall, "Honey Hush" is an entertaining song that showcases the talent and humor of Screaming Lord Sutch & the Savages.
