Well I know I'm always late since my watch got sold
But I'm worth the wait, the weight in gold Momus – Born To Be Adored

Obvious pun on the homophones ‘weight’ and ‘wait’, and the English idiom being worth its weight in gold.

His watch being sold seems to suggest a lack of money, a notorious feature of libertines and bohemians, making his net worth quite literally the weight in gold of a gold watch.

I was created in the fleshpots of Araby Momus – Born To Be Adored

Araby was a bazaar in Dublin that featured in James Joyce’s classic story Araby, about a young boy’s first awakening into sexuality.

Araby bazaar actually existed:

The Araby Bazaar was one of the largest public spectacles held in Dublin in the late nineteenth century. Attended by 92,052 visitors, it filled the large indoor and outdoor spaces of the RDS for over a week, with elaborate stage-set backdrops, a wide range of goods for sale, multiple restaurants, bars, firework displays, tight-rope demonstrations, and ‘Princess Nala Damajante, Hindoo Serpent Charmer, with her Boa Constrictors and Pythons’.

The Araby Bazaar, along with the other charity bazaars held in the city, became something of a Dublin institution during the middle of the 1890s.

However, given the general historical outlook of this verse, it may not be referring to Joyce’s short story of the eponymous bazaar. Possibly the term “Araby” here is an archaic name for the Arab World, signifying exoticism.

I think “Araby” meaning the ancient Arab world, with sumptuous palaces and enormous tents (that were also sumptuous, I can’t think of a synonym), luxury, food and drink everywhere, and concubines by the hundred. If you were rich, of course. So there was probably some sex going on in old Araby. It would fit with his mother being the Emperor’s secretary, I dunno if the Irish Araby had much in the way of an Emperor but I bet the Araby in Arabia had better ones.

You might delete the James Joyce bit. Much as Momus loves a pretentious reference, it’s probably irrelevant.

Well Seth begat Clem and then Clem begat Ruth
And then Ruth begat me and all hell broke loose Momus – Born To Be Adored

A reference to the biblical geneology. Genesis has pages upon pages about who begat whom.

Seth, Clem and Ruth don’t seem to be in the Bible, so we may assume they are Momus' forefathers (or whoever the first person is).

His family do seem to have oddly ancient-sounding Old-testament names. Of course my name is also in the OT, as is probably yours, even around the world people translate the Bible and use their own local form of the names, but those local names really are just evolutions of ones in the Bible. I once met a Muslim kid called “Isa”, or “Jesus” in Spanish. In English he’d be “Joshua”.

But you don’t get a lot of Seths and Clems in recent Scottish history, nor even so many Ruths. I dunno, somebody get hold of the boy and ask.

Sue him if you’re gloomy, or boo'em to your tomb JJ DOOM (Ft. Beth Gibbons) – GMO

Referring to the colloquialism ‘sue me’, DOOM speaks truth no matter how impopular.

A strained reader could link “sue him” to big companies' tendency to sue dissident’s voice and bury activists in legal debt, and “boo'em to your tomb” as saying you could choose to hate on this message, but consuming GMO will lead to an early death.
