Discover the story of the song > Penny Dreadful – Skyclad

The protagonist thinks that new music lacks soul and only cares about making money, while he values integrity and honesty. He criticizes DJs, VJs, pimps and trollops, rejecting commercial success and preferring to stand his ground and refuse to follow fashion. He mocks those who call his partner a "Messiah" and sees the Penny Dreadful as a representation of a circus filled with painted faces like hers. He would rather be called sour and bitter than be deemed the flavor of the week, as he believes that being a commercial success is not his goal.
