Well if I had a child
what a child it would be
never have to bathe
have sweets every meal
wear their favourite clothes everyday
and go to bed when they want to
have jellybeans for breakfast
and run free wherever they please
If I had a child
what a child it would be
You see them play in the flowers shade
Pluck 'em apples off the trees

If I had a child
it would be the child God made
- Dusted's song If I had a child

Whimsical lyrics set to the saddest, most soulful piano jazz tune. Not something I'd expect from Rollo, who also belonged to the dancey Faithless. Nearly one year after I've posted about the Dusted album, I've finally bought it. Delayed gratification is still sweet.
