undyingkingBah, I forgot to inlcuide the download link on that Momus post of last night, sorry about that. Here it is now.
He writes a para or two about each song, which is quite interesting. For example:

Murderers, the Hope of Women: This, and the two tracks that follow, are actually CD extras, the songs that made up my first Creation release, a 12" 45rpm EP. The three songs were recorded as a demo for Blue Mountain Music at the end of 1986, with Julian Standen producing. The first Momus EP, The Beast with 3 Backs, had been "three songs about threesomes". Having done sex, I thought I'd do death ("the last pornographic frontier of the bourgeoisie", as Peter Greenaway called it, promoting his 1985 film A Zed and Two Noughts). The guitar solos in these songs are -- amazingly enough -- played by Lemmy's son, Paul Inder. Murderers, the Hope of Women was inspired by Wedekind / Pabst's Lulu and an expressionist play by Oskar Kokoschka. It basically looks at marriage as if it were an extremely slow motion knife crime.
How I rate this now: I think it's a strong song, melodramatic and tragic. It's more impressive than likeable, though.
