Four floors down, but more floors up
Nice service, nice nibbles
Really pretty, pretty desperate
Aren't we all
An open heart is like a nose job
Beautiful but blatantly obvious
I suggest i'm too thirsty-coppered
Dehydrated that is...to cry anymore
But it's just not true
I could shed enough to fill a
Lady's pint glass
Nervous and early
Not late and laid back
Lovely and needy
Not ugly and secure
Tragic and magic and a riverside bore
Just like I
Need me say more?
Bloody hell...anyway, a
Stiffness, a stiffness returns, at least
It's physical
Another nine thirty
Another Friday nightmarish
It's always pissing down here
Eyes move quicker then quicksand
Which is not very fast
That's a good friend when he is grey
That is an old acquaintance
Or is it?
French?
Or Spanish?
Either way...it's an unknown
So do you have a dream for St. Helens?
I see you, stifling another yawn
I me see, this body is in a dark place
The sparklies cannot compete here
The spoon-fed luckiest are joyous
Have been working out by the looks of it
You're best off out of it and on this showing
I love you Japanese people
I love you blue boys, c'mon c'mon
I will walk on the shingle and absorb nuclear
I will observe dress sense and guess nationalities
I will browse through old photos and remember
Happier times
Happier times
It is her, my god it is her
This is just the pits, definitely hanging
Out with the wrong people
This is a wind-up
Howling like a couple of banshees
That is the tall and the short of it
Ugly ugly ugly
Indigenous people are attractive on the eye
Not I

Do not untie your flowers
Oh no Tony
Time has elapsed
Your progress is lax in the forlorn valleys
When I ask where it all went wrong, there are
Places too many to mention
But i'll start with reception, I have
Many friends here and more
Broken spirits, here
There are no new chapters to open
We are all dried up
Shrivelled
It's bloody obvious
Stood like a lemon and I turn my back on you
This is to my cost as I gaze at your circular cage
I am merely ticking the boxes, quietly
Stagnating in my own country
You are takin' our jobs, tuggin' at the denim skirt
I could feel this way but don't
I don't care...like grated tin...i will party
With the Polish any old day
Of the week
My hand is frozen, the mind is limp
New wounds appear, these outnumber
Those that will re-open
They are neon blue
There are potential shifts in colour
Hit the oxygen baby, hit it
Alright laddie
No...half left
I'm seeing the dentist tomorrow, there is a
Taste of metal in the mouth in this
Mini-Manhattan
This doesn't add up
You have been on a sunbed...never
I'll pay you
No way you bribe fuck
You, you fed up feature
Beneath canopies, there is
Gum on the streets
Millions on a clean-up
I am fuckin' ruined mate
Ruined

I have lost yet again I know
In a big, big way I know
I am magnifique in defeat
I must, must say...a question about chelated
Capsules and an agonising walk home
Credit is due to Tommy the
Rock and there are reminders now
In every prefab
I smile and I love too, too
Much and on top of this I am
Annoyed about the refuelling charge
Ahead is another long weekend
The others mock
Hello neighbour
The others mock
Hello hello smiler
Over my shoulder is Liverpool
It was always good that way
Thirteen point five tog, natural filling
Ten out of ten for togetherness
Middle class children have longish hair these days
It doesn't matter who it is...the partner
I mean, they are all doin' the same t'ing
They're all in it for the same t'ing
Red white, white red?
Make up yr mind
Choke on the fibres
Trip on the broadcasts in your brown brogues
Brown yourself on a good trip
Wasps make a bold statement of intent
Old knackered boxes, for everyone that agrees
With you, there are twenty that don't
Don't, do not untie your flowers
You must care for your tied
Arrangement
A picture of a boat and a splutter
Breathless paragraphs should not be written from
The imagination
They should be created from
Within the wardrobe and
Far from the machine head
In analysing Europe, I question
My motives and make a series of mistakes
I am expelled
I am absorbed in broadsheet
I am outta' here

Speaker systems, braille tatoos, i'm
Washing my hands of the past
Why do I kill myself?
Why I in the wrong place?
Do as you please with your
Field of women, they can be found in
Venezuela, Mexico
I'm washing my hands constantly
Obsessively as any animal does
I am cornered, forever
Brought back home all in leather
Ignore these sections
Apply
International
India, Malaysia
What you can do this Friday
Voodoo
Highs of up to fourteen
Juice
No thanks
Not again
Never again
Finir les restes
If only I could
You've put on weight, like the Ugandan
Lion, to don't risk being eaten by this
Accidently
You may find a cultured left foot here
At Prescot Cables...or perhaps not
The sale of paracetamol is restricted
Pharmacists and supermarkets will
Share the profits on this
Phone the council
Call the cops
Eat five a day
Do whatever
I followed up on what I promised myself I would do
I will not do it seems
Shall I watch you depart again to find inevitable happiness?
Shall I witness a joy that surpasses even mine?
I hope so
I hope not
I don't know
Not anymore

I was in a rut this morning, i was
A poisonous rainbow
It was murder
It has reached the point
Where function has married gay abandon
Who would have thought?
We are a couple at last, envied
The eyes are not fatigued by travel
Up
Down and
Up again
Belong in the arts and creative industries
I always think i went out one day
There is skill, dreadful skill
There is no career developement
To become more focussed would be particularly useful
Low low low
Normal normal normal
This would be a start
This would be a change of ownership
Things today, okay
The thing to do is bog off
Come in...i was arranging gigs and
Van hire and so on, the human
Installation has arrived
Tuition is a ladder to a better life
Climbing the mountains of Scotland
Is obviously healthy, but it is not for everyone
A toast to absent friends...but
Were they really friends?
My life if you prefer
Permanent my Love, goodbye
All young people will take on a serious role like, like
Bug-eyed trollopes
And with a screw-you attitude, we
Can help with publicity
We can you know
We can you know
Down at a night shelter
A man is a flash in the pan and
Is a joy to work with
He will buy your drinks and order your
Meal and he will pay with his life
He will pay with his life

It was very sporting of you, this sacrifice
It is the coil in a magnetic field, it is
Absolute theatre
They harp on about the Manchester music scene
I talk thereafter with prickly hotel staff, well they are
This morning, i fill my nostrils
With an air filtered of northern
Constellations
A smoke and an energy drink are called for
Ahead of this year's collection which has now arrived
I am behind with the rent
I am not related to the landlord
I am so, so patient
And here am I thinking you said passionate
Well Honey, this body arches itself
Wastes muscle for you
It's plain
We live in an age of slave apologies
There are no popstars anymore
How much more can i watch people
Scoffing their faces while i don't?
Free range double-yolkers and hops will not suffice
Crazy project...not really my Love
I'm flying over Russia, wide-eyed and
Asleep, dancing with another man's wife
In the billiard room on a fun-filled afternoon
Really tasty eh?
Shampoo instead of hairspray
Music in place of Love
Dreams of children and a potted
History are never never enough
Ingested in this soul, a speeding
Unforgiving body, a killer of a grimmace
I will light a virtual candle for you
I will doubt my decisions
I will fear the second half of life
In the place where cottages are inhabited by
Geriatric piss artists, i will
Champion the cause and announce the
Letter V using morse code
People have money
People are not shy
People tell the truth

Modo de empleo
I have to be ruthless, utilities are
The distant past, name tags for presentation
Evenings are for losers and loss
Adjusters are well aware
They have a grandstand view of astral families
At war...love from me and the boys
Ripped up and binned
Body is active when the mind is clear
Think electric and global watches
Purchased in Melton Mowbray for
The Great British household, even a
Receipt from a deceased relative's
Pocket instills reflection, a fridge...a fridge
Consoles for lost souls and linen baskets and
Showers from Bermuda...i wore gold lame
Can you believe it?
I bought the chisellers twice
Can you believe it?
Istruzioni per L'uso
I lost more than a bicycle, any lock is ineffective against
The determined and
The spots of ink were fabulous
Purchased in Eccleston, not Chorley
More than meets the ear is at reckless records...it was a nice
Gift at the time...gift of time you could say
We had valor and we had disco supplies
We had Servicios Post-Venta
Occasionally, i did something
Amazing but was for most of the time too
Unwell to
I would cut up cheque books and for
Authority i would read company
I would turn the Archimedian screws
I would despair at the man-made chemical culprits
But i don't anymore
Ten a.m. at your office, massive but
Weak men
Nineteen thirty nine to nineteen forty five
There is stuff that has to be gotten to the skip
Not the set of Le Creuset pans though
The application for housing
The pains in the chest
The cheat
The many many crossroads we are at and
The lad who has previous...he says
A picture can blah blah speak a thousand
Words blah blah blah
Noflashphotography please

It's that laughter show feeling again, that
Return of the little red diablo...he has
Reared his ugly head again
Men use women, women use men
There is no Love, no such thing
A cow's belly cooks, a Romanian
Stoops low, takes a light from the gas ring
And our lovely cover girl is...?
Not to mention our friend
From the Americas
With a practical style, there is no
End to the chug chug chugging
Bonjour to cafes
Goodbye to work
A brighter future, let's go bezerk
Sugar, i used a mascara pen by accident
I also snook in via the snug entrance
Bloody tories
I hope the viewing went well today
I'll catch up later
Thanks for the bed
Thanks for the hospitality
Your kindness is of milky way proportions and
Pain is just weakness leaving the body
I realise that the Danube flows through not
Just Buda and Pest but also through
An unadvertised country with a coastline
Is it anywonder i want to live
In this neck of the woods?
It is in this neck of the woods
That the sound of tyres on an aggregate assured
Will settle the stomach once and for all
I am affordable
I am sheltered
I am sold
How about this?
Hell is where the heart is...that's alright isn't it?
Landmines or no landmines, eighteen years is a long time
A jobsearch is on, adjust the shutter-speed
Tidy up
For you, your woman and your kids
Translations to sexuality
Slightly distorted...could it be that
Me he perdido?
I, like her, lay claim to a
Chair
It's important
It's eyes tossed like hats up to the ceiling
It's cookie...yeah

As wolfs among sheep we have wondered
Have a bath, behave in a cave
A headbanger hurts himself and voices rise
He has a big fat neck
He ain't got a neck
Bad circumstances
Accommodation
I stood on the Nord tribune and remembered...cling
To the underside of this animal if you want out
Shortage of plumbers
Demand demand demand
Physical spaces
Not heard of Balfe and Auber before
But here they are, in the flab
A Lancashire mortgage, a round of applause
Hi Chicago, or eh up...as they say in Scarbrough
Yamaha brings back memories, good
Ones an' all
It remains a phenomenon does a switchblade
And sideburns
And boils too
Run out of space and they're on their way back
It's nearly September
I might as well smile until then
A collection of towers
All tall'uns
Champagne for a touch of class
A changeover for the mighty workers
I wonder what they do?
I marvel at their togetherness and
I despair at the laugh-a-minute
The serious contenders are too serious, although
I love their vibration
It's a great leveller
It's a great leveller
It's a great floor to do stuff on
And it's harder for me to watch
I was happy
Genuinely
Fleetingly
When i saw the fanning of a flushed face-ache
It meant you were stayin'
It meant you were stickin' it out
It meant a helluva lot

Photos of the chapel, a joke about a giraffe
The best i've heard so far is about the black man
At the wheel of an aeroplane...the punchline relies
On the response of the listener
Dunno'
Squid, octopus, am shaking like a leaf
Busy day tomorrow as well
Angleterre is mistaken for Angola, it is
In French you see and that is why
Anyways, my wallet's been taken so i best
Sort meself out, it was stolen while i was on
A bendy bus
You pick the fruit flies outta' the glass
Just like i do
Just like i do
Call the man by a first name, octopussy
Dirty looks are evident
Dirty looks are platinum
Classics and the spreading of a sheet, dating
At fourteen, this is like particle physics
Wave after wave of unknowns
The unknowns attach themselves to me currently
I like it
I like it
I like the way you run your fingers through...
It pays well, that's why
Any other channel that broadcasts the widow's crown
That buys the evening gown
I'm tempted by the floatation, she ain't...by the man's man
By the new theatre
Why would Jesus have 'owt to do with this man
Here in the synagogue?
I talk for the first time, high resolution
To rococo and company
Happy reading
And something insignificant
It is a division of a lesser people
You lose
I lose
An ego blossoms
Isolate before opening, vacate quietly
On account of dumbing down, i sustain
The unsatisfactory
Open before isolating
Nine grammes of cake
In-house activities
Waste of time
A vivid dream of ships and of
A bar on board, it will keep you moist
Dirty text
Dirty text of platinum
What more to ask for Fred?
Life is a cruise, it is the sound of leisure near enough
These men boast about deep
Throat adventures beneath office furniture
Better watch the cables i'd say, pull them and this place
Could be a fire-trap
A hazard of Death

Ireland, back here...sanctuary
Away from the agitated heating engineer, he
Don't wanna' talk about it no more, he was
Down on the I.T. guy big time
This is fine, all worthwhile
It gets a bit cagey when the South African
Apprentices are collared...all white, then a
Nigerian bouncer
Don't go there, i wouldn't
Got to go...we have a live band appearing
Here soon, chilli sauce or something
I never, well i never did
He needed to reassure her as much as she
Needed the forehead kiss, she likes the
Forehead kiss as much as she appreciates
The tip on the
Maintenance of tap washers, the man
With the virtual white van introduces his
Geek self
I spit it out, dunno why
People are okay really, someone else in a cape
Talks loud enough to be heard, does she need a friend?
Help yerself in yer boot cut jeans
There was something about gowns and towns
Teacher, tell me how to
Do it do it do it better
Please, the best juke box around for miles
Smiles i do when i think even now of New
York becoming shaddapaya face
Precision kicks, two-step, goose and...well
I've got phone calls to make
Talk about kicking a man when he's down
Tut tut tut, i play solitaire and get just the four
Of clubs, face up so it is
Having said that, i look at the sun through filters
I travel long distance to collect soundtracks
I chat with a young rocker who has had a stroke
Ridicule me, shout Satan behind my back
I can hear you
It's like an old git...thank
God they do food, on-call
Stuff like that
Social sciences teaches you how
To talk to people
Sovereign, statues...i just
Didn't take it all in, this
Evolution and these tool makers'
Objectives are met
Racists are identified
I'll play for the under twenty ones this
Saturday, then it's the sister's wedding
I'll sing on this occasion
Perfect day
It's about crack that one you know
Spend it with you, etcetera

Menu and go to and souvenirs
I'll be glad to put this in the bloody bin
These early morning provisions
Are a delight to prepare
I hear, after Joelle
No thanks, it reverberates
Around a glass dome, i
Could say glass house
But that is two steps back
Army boys and belles
Photos after the rush
Reliance on me, me,
Me?
Blackpool this is not
Vile this may well be
How is one to extend oneself?
How is one to deal with unanswered phone calls?
Un-teacherly teachers?
A ready meal balanced on a ready
Meal
Ungrateful forever i was...sorry
Don't know, budgets are doing good business
Today, i am awake and you are asleep
As always
Flash photography in secrecy is
Still in the retina
Goddammit, how is this?
You'll get yer money when i'm ready
Steady is crossed out then
Dates for your diary, return the
Keys and fanatical about rural places, parker pens
How can you be sure?
Harsh really to be honest, delete that one
Aroyha on...
Motolani on...
Unbelievable really, blinds
Screams and a post-horn serenade
A young family, the
Ombudsman, i should be in
Shock
I should tread a little lighter on high streets
With a new six piece lineup
Italy, three, Christ wept
Is this diagram adapted?
One of the things i was interested in, home
Cooking, Cheshire is a lovely county, very rural, lots
Of window systems
Any particular reason?
Involving you is a mission
Investors in the people is laughed about through
Nicotine gnashers
Bitterly cynical
Cynically bitter
Hand it over
Hand it over
You taught me nowt
Chilled, it's not for everybody
Hand it over
Hand it over

Egyptian Death and early India, the
Scaffold advertises thirty nine
More galleries
Lush
On a nightmarish dual carriageway i am, it is here
That i pinch my own leg in frustration
I haven't settled in since
Army careers is a distinct
Possibility, aching spines in a dozen
Or so languages, this is not the
First time i've been stood up and let down
At the same time, that i've ridden
The clutch
Can you imagine?
Someone sleeping through a deadline
And one which has given you a glimpse of
Pear trees and cleared the path to make
Phone calls to Mongolians...children in
London and throat singers come to mind
Not to mention a food-free morning
This follows on indeed from a sleepless
Night, noisy sex from
Noisy nurses...fully charged for
Five weeks, just five weeks
For pretty pretty
Beetroot...or whatever her name is
I've just been informed of a bullshit rule
I'm angry, threatened with the
Sack, i understand nothing
But one day will, i have to be
More sensible
More sensible
More sensible
This unseasonal weather is so so
Welcome
People are heavy with broken promises
Non-commitment
How many more arses today?
She is dancing for me in
Urgent August and
Cancellation, hard woman
Intelligent but teacher?
Close but no cigar
Of bad weather, this very
Alternative heavy meal
Heavy to carry...oh well
All on double-sided
Greedy guts

It's pissin' me right off, the selling of
Pashminas and the paid-for taxi journey home
As long as you are okay....that's the main thing
The sun's flares burn for you, that is good
But the content smells like a packet of
Cooked noodles, yummy yummy
C'mon Paul, c'mon...you know
You are the main man, or should i say the
Mains man, the man who sorts out
The fuse box in emergencies...Oh God
How did so much dependency
Establish itself?
Take such a grip?
We'll never last
Will we ever?
Since she moves, the best memories are
In the bleak colourless paths home
It will always be this innit?
I'm allergic to the news and to the arrogance
Of the Egyptian elite, the community spirit is
Strong and is a fixed response also, phrasebooks
Are useless as they don't tell you where you
Can get weed, nor do doctors-in-the-making
In southern Africa, dancing at pre-wedding festivals
And decorating food with tinsel and stuff
Sounds like i wanna' go
Amusements and theme parks and
Institutes of actuaries, it's all too much
It may well be fun for you
But it ain't gangsta' for me
I can tell you
I was in places other than...
My head was three different ones
I had my thesis binding to sort out
My hands shook...still do
Pretending not to go, no-one was a
Friend of mine, so c'mon
So c'mon, so c'mon
Your hand has been in mine four times
Gas
So c'mon
We are sulphur dioxide
We are phone nos. on scrappy bits of paper
We are comfortable...aren't we?
We are just protecting ourselves
Our heartz just...well mine just
Meltz

Quite literally, i cannot read that here
As the nice lightweight jeans were marked
I don't care
Would you do the same?
I'm taking no prison office jobs home with me, i am
In competition here, with this other writer type
He stands out a mile with ponytail and flood defence leaflets
This is new isn't it?
He must have eleven or twelve elastic bands in the Strand
She bites bottom lip, top lip, all of
It, keep out of direct sunlight on a tee-shirt, funny that
Balancing act, carers with pride and a thankless
Thankless task, a pot for
Jack and cleverness...Christ
I've been spotted by one of the
Whatsitplace boys, best scarper and
Take me favourite place in me favourite corner
Seat, fire point, fire starter
This bad boy has to keep up appearances
Has a go at a young Asian lad
Cycling on pavement
Small-time in no time at all time
It's not often i get happy with a line or
A rollercoaster ride
This place is the place i'll die, i am
Remembering the trauma of a child, a stranger to
Me...his brother fell to his death, he stood
When he ought to have been sitting
Southport Ruffians no doubt
No doubt at all

This trainee development malarkey, you know you can
Be too proud of where you come from
Naughty boy, wears his jeans halfway down his
Buttocks and a politically incorrect bandana and says
Sayonara not to his job but
To his bandana, gets a different one instead
I am invited to a conference, building his Kingdom.
As if i'll attend this, i've more chance of
Being run over by a bus
The hurt is risin', risin' again
The tugging on the intricate detail is a new one
It is very passionate also, but not worth
The knives that twist from the inside and
Probably always will
Loudmouth returns, chews on the bit
A tee-shirt with crew printed on the back
Holds status for some people, personally i
Prefer trainee barista
You are/i am up against it
With these argumentative little sods
I am looking further than i need to, trying too
Damn hard
Still, still, still
Looking for magic from newish
Positions, these can be found on a
Cluttered floor and between two
Adjacent vinyl sofas normally
But the real magic belongs to the
Past he says, an attempt to retrieve this
Is made via ping-pong and killers
The modern stuff is harder to find
It's best to stick to the harmonium of
My memory

This has to be quick, not fair but
I'm heavy confirmation finally
Pushed down...it couldn't be clearer
Repeat
It couldn't be...the enzymes produced
Must surely be taking a toll
So on display, soon-to-be the decline
Of inner city youth and broadband
Sister, gran and job spec
Go to Hell
Then the lights go out
I never believed they would
The Boys from something or other are
Hither and thither
This vague language is quite beautiful
It's more or less perfect
In fact, it's about ninety five percent
Perfect, or
Thereabouts
You know...try something different
An equivalent gamble
You know...try something different
An equivalent gamble or a tidy-upper
Super
Stuff...like an industrial pharmacist will
Talk to you about
Unofficial i can do
Above board...oh Lord
There is skill shot or extra life
Or worse there is no lose
No lose
Try something different...and remember the
Mardi gras, i love you
There is a throwback and it is
Cyclismo
Also in
Photographing aluminium which clasps
To everywhere for Jesus' sake, but not to
Poor diets, informed choices
Here, library fines are readily dished out and
Chancers use toilets for the use of customers only
This is a distraction from the heartbreak isn't it?
There are reminders everywhere, from the
HGV on the inside lane
That bears the islander's name, to
The pink of La Gazzetta dello Sport
Attaccanti
Attaccanti
Attaccanti

Stop glancing in my direction and start
Managing diversity, your trade mission is
A thing of the past
My excitement for a full life is ignored, forgotten
Easily
I cannot celebrate this skin
I nip across the road in pyjamas
It is three in the afternoon
I don't know what people think
Then i do
It's time to broaden a land unsurpassed
To expand those that accompany filth
Then and only then, can they join me on picnics
I have the accessories for such
Your name, it follows on with or
Deprived of grace, watch this space
Postcodes can be a drawback
Letting go is my only Salvation, as is
Submitting a question at the VIP
Table, i take branding opportunities
Whenever i can
So damn unreliable, people
Of the modern era, a couple of gins and
You are a firebrand, i will not be
Pushed around by idiots'
Strength...this is the message from the
Editor, elegant in clothing from Morecambe
Bay and blowing
His own trumpet, he has a soulmate and
The accomplished record is all but mine
My ambition is to be a most
Sought-after after-dinner speaker
Champion, just champion

There is Yorkshire and there
Is a gap of several miles
In seconds, i epitomize all that is
Wrong with this commuter, i am
Warmed, elated by the foreign language, i
Have a come a long a way in such a short
Distance...be my baby, we could, we
Could steal away my tinker bell
You are my first choice
You are less the wire
You are a viva hate sky
You are vapour, i am lucky to find such risings from a spa
From afar and with such conversion, with this
Much kinetic...i am bloated of lung
I am in a confused land of juniper
I am incapable also
Mem'ries...just a girl from my school
Ta for the email address and the choice of supermodel
And of course...the sacrifice
It began in Harrogate and
Ended nowhere, northwest
There was Paul, there was Marylin
And of course...there was Stella
We learned together...English two thousand
Crown eagle quality secrets
Aplenty and absinthe absence
I am reformed, names of shops
I can scream, eating and drinking
Therapy is obvious, more so at airports
I loiter in the dales, it's been too long in the left
Of the rising sun, there is spleandour elsewhere...in frontiers
Where wild boars roam and where the beaver
Sculpts branches
My teeth, on the other hand are old cement
I awake sometimes from loose dreams where bad enterprise
Is a decaying river-swim
Splash, splash and more splash...or am i awoken
Instead by the stiffness that is tennis elbow?
I have internal debates about this and the
Labelling of super foods and i have a humourous exchange
With the phlebotomist
That reminds me, when was the last time i ran
Amok with a composite racquet?

To dispose of this shred is good
It's always good cookie...and sweltering too
There is an abstract place which
Is inhabited when one is living the dream
Smiles come more naturally, are
Produced with more ease...some are
Received from desirable and never-to-be-seen-again trendies
An old word, an old Paisley cravat
That is now glutinous surround and one
Of the reasons i cannot be sentimental
No more
See above for potholes and
Plagiarism and office relocation
Literally, power of the will...and it takes
A lot of this
The agreed ratios alone are mind-boggling while
The original sports and workadays make us
Happy as Larry...they must do, otherwise i
Should coco...well shouldn't we?
The oven displays an engraving, this monarch
Is unusable though, unnatural in fact
Instead, i think about the inability to
Convert today's 60 degrees Fahrenheit into
Celsius and i wonder if it will ever click, this is
Not dissimilar to the ferry terminals, a lifelong
Mental block thingy and one of the reasons
It can feel like one's
Birthday when ideas flow, when juices
Boil and Spill
It has to be cherished
It has to be grabbed like Love, which is
After all, merely game of hormone
Then the boomf boomf boomf
It rattles the new pvc windows
I don't need this, after all, i'm only just back
This minute from an ear candling session...is
The gift from the Highlands or
Las Vegas?
The Hanseatic League is to be
Joined in a fortnight, i will
Cancel all values until then...you've read
This all before haven't you?
Ich mochte es tun...while
Sitting and facing against the direction
Of travel, this is safer in the event of a crash
I will be visited in a hospital bed by
Emerging football stars...talent is a kind of
Bait, it pulls in daylight
Das ist alles

After the meter readings and the subsequent
Distraction of a rummage
Through old vinyl recordings...these are unsold by the
Redemptoris sadly...i scour the
Out and about pages and decide on nights in...forever...i will dream instead
Of winning sportscars and group hugs and loss
Then a normal pattern will resume after a pummeling
Unreliable and searching the receipt roll for a
Punched-the-wrong-key-again type
Mistake
Equilibrium is attained
Never ever
Ever
Whereas to dispose of this shred is good
It's always good cookie...and sweltering too
There is an abstract place which
Is inhabited when one is living the dream
Smiles come more naturally, are
Produced with more ease...some are
Received from desirable and never-to-be-seen-again trendies
An old word, an old Paisley cravat
That is now glutinous surround and one
Of the reasons i cannot be sentimental
No more
See above for potholes and
Plagiarism and office relocation
Literally, power of the will...and it takes
A lot of this
The agreed ratios alone are mind-boggling while
The original sports and workadays make us
Happy as Larry...they must do, otherwise i
Should coco...well shouldn't we?
The oven displays an engraving, this monarch
Is unusable though, unnatural in fact
Instead, i think about the inability to
Convert today's 60 degrees Fahrenheit into
Celsius and i wonder if it will ever click, this is
Not dissimilar to the ferry terminals, a lifelong
Mental block thingy and one of the reasons
It can feel like one's
Birthday when ideas flow, when juices
Boil and Spill
It has to be cherished
It has to be grabbed like Love, which is
After all, merely game of hormone
Before the boomf boomf boomf
It rattles the new pvc windows
I don't need this, after all, i'm only just back
This minute from an ear candling session...is
The gift from the Highlands or
Las Vegas?
The Hanseatic League is to be
Joined in a fortnight, i will
Cancel all values until then

In writing that she turned up and
Battered me, i work at an angle to a lined
Desert, is the oasis margin?
Still holding its own, doing a roaring
Trade...she would possibly reply
Just for men...a model from behind
I'd say, action replay
I'd say...and rise above a Greek
Ampitheatre
The two hundred or more steps makes my
Blood boil, i can imagine demolition, long weekends and
Being difficult
Producing it and checking it regardless of
The early hours spent working and
Linking cities of yellow through
The Bosphorus Strait
Great places these...where a young
Man could circle in late January whilst
Ousting the producers of silent screen
Mad week...crazy at work and
Outside of it too
'Nuff said
Etched into the dusty landscape
Of foolscap, the firefly is carrying
A true love and a burden
Things i like about myself
Things i don't...rockstar
Twiddle-thumbs is oblivious to
The banana skin threat and the cobbles
That guide his weedy frame
He's totally cabbaged to say the
Least, that soluble paracetemol is
Not the answer to his dropped fruit
The truth is, i'm scared...balancing
On walls and terraces always
Results in giddiness and a churning
Of the stomach, i am reliant
Therefore on obtaining a good position
With an early start and an
Even earlier arrival
Lucky guy
So lucky...no worries
Communications from the brewery are becoming a
Pain, i'll be glad to put a stop to it
There is a replaying in the mind of voices
Muffled, interspersed with delicate tutting, this is
A gentleness, like that of gangs, that mortifies
Its crescendo is two or three...no, it is many voices
In an already overcrowded hemisphere
I am all for it or
I am nothing

By Georgia, we mean to
Say
Great voice
Hostile looks on yet someone
Else who has worth
I tried, i was always on
Call...i have never
Received flowers
Though i am a keyholder
From time to time
Next
I have tissues
With a silent T
And therein
Lie projections...or
Lie Projectors
That's quite funny actually
Ha ha ho ho
We move, wobble from landscape
From portrait, then
I wanna' stay out
I flex the metal muscle
Suffer concussion
And phone a sister
The sugar-coated
The speed of which and
The quick quick slow look up
All make a contribution as
We spar on gloss, on a compressed
Aggregate, microscopic and tasty dish
There is perfect match, then there is rocky
A building can be an abortion
For a child's ears
I quite like it myself, or is that just
Rebellion?
Like wearing just a gown and a
Raspberry beret
She's a drip, unbelievable
Are you there?
Maybe a different emission is ink
Neccessary ink change
Like blue collar that works
That blends in beautifully with
Seating at the rear and no standing
Upstairs, except for the young
Upstarts, they are sellotaped
Or will be, next to running, etc
Running, hit the ground
Running...i am seduced now only
By a quick finish, i am all
Terminally ill, did you know that?
I was far from it and the interview was overlooked, was
Resonance
I was happy at home and other remote places
Though often delayed by a bus driver who would
Pick up the evening gazzetta and
Wishing you success in your application
Access
Impaired and plus
It is a long shot, to see that
Mediterranean, or indeed Greek Smiler
Ever declare their true taste in things
Life is long shot

The beached Italian, it's a job
Imagining, never mind joining
Backseat drivers who compromise
Careers and luggage space
Back pain and helping hand all go
Hand in hand, remedies such as those that
Include boldo supposedly help
Unfortunately, my pictures, if i...were
I to take any, would be blurred
Due to camera shake
The gardens of the Wirral and
The gates of the North
The roar from the chest and
The economical emptying of
Rubble from sacks
The mission statement and
The putting off a task involving the
Deletion of old friends from xmas card lists
The informed decision and
The sitting of next week's SATS
The irrelevancy of polo and
The practice at the ridge
The on-standby status and
The mileage to remote
The learning of calculus and
The playing of alehouse football
The travelling on a ro-ro and
Einstein a go-go...this
This, i tell you
Is all i have left
I am bereft
We who black or blue,or
Black, we hit hit hit the sack
Custom amplification is a find
In the land of a swift mind
This we dispatch, this is perks of the job
Careful...we are in a university
Town, the locals need you around
You are a go-gett'r already
You need a motivator like a
Hole in the head, like yet another police
Caution
Detainees converse through
Vents, these are lower than knee-height and
Force on-the-outsiders to place himself
On all fours with head tilted
Here, all the paving is loosened
Here, hardened voices penetrate harder hearts
Long after the gossamer has
Supplied surprise looks and
Furnished unfilled apartments
These overlook a yearning from the past and from
The future

I like cuddles
I like Doctors too
And the light from a nightstar
And the comment from an elderly relative
About an elderly gent in a care home being
Off his rocker, and the
Toffeez Girl...tradition cannot
Be beaten...sometimes
So too more of Ivan's quotes
Nevermind Ivan...what about Even's Hooded Jackets?
Another game?
How are you John?
Still in Manchester?
The reluctant hellos were/are
Unavoidable
And this morning, i saw the
Yes man...the nickname a product
Of a cynical mind
But...nevermind
This knows no boundaries, thankfully
Especially so when in the company
Of top boys
I remember top boys
And their banter in the gents
One time there was a queue in there
All the gags came out about knowing how
The girls must have felt
And the bloke in a bird's clobber remarked
About the last time he'd had this much fun
The word India was in it
For some reason, this makes me laugh
This has to be diarised, this
Lapsus linguae
This had to be hunk and also
Good for you, try and convince
The two thirds of us that
Are now...there is a smell
Of weed coming from somewhere
They are lips length
There are conversations in Greek
In the bathroom, there is
Drapery and topiary and
Amusing funeral service stories
You must have a thousand admirers says the man
In transit
The man at the loom
The man assisting the user of compact
The man with an elbow arched and
Dragon's mouth pitched above patella
Thumb pointing inwards
Concerned, attentive
Escalating this damned disco
Giving a Roland for an Oliver

It's amazing how small the buses look today...i am
Terrified of losing her, yet
I love
Her...please bare with me
I compile a CD for friends, some of
The songs are not to my taste, but hey, this
Is a serious learning curve
Don't you think?
The
Funny thing is, it is business
As usual, let us underline the
Is here, the staff changes and
Relocation of furniture rests
Uncomfortably with my four children who i
Want to spend more time with...and, and
I have no fat to protect me while the
Warring factions grate against not iconic, but
Drinking customs...it is here that the mind drifts
A fantasy...an exchange of strong views loud enough
For the passers-by having begun with a restrained
Polite greeting, subsequently i miss a regal
Sun, a barbed wire and a hooded opportunity
Twitch, twitch
Please note
I still posess the union and the
Flexing of a hand muscle, i
Am easily swayed, am also
Sinister...this today is difficult
I'm terrified of the rot
Sick of the tag
But kinda' glad...it's all over
I should have gone red on this
Occasion, but i forgot
Do it next time...if there is one

Howsabout this?
Redpeppajam for breakfast, the
Pills and the riding on the ride
This uplifts, this is without a
Fight, the petroleum mixture is a hoot
Desanchantee and the art of glass
Belong to the Dales, i tried this
Also, to belong...but it didn't
Work, i use an old trick
One to do with limits, but now
I am off limits
I am so overwhelmed by the norm
By simplicity
By a darkness descending
But more than anything
By the norm
By the norm
By the norm
And now, and now
The moment has passed, it always does
From my position in the gantry, i can see
A bevvy of beauties, from this
Iron mountain, i see fashion by the
Yard, this site has been acquired by
Cultural cornerstones and is under the
Watchful eye of the professor messenger, he
Doesn't want to see outsiders today, who does?
I get pregnant
We get pregnant
Life is all trade...Piazza
Cavour...why we argue on the
Wearing of the chador
It is good that life can be
Summed up in the stomach
It is good that the protein from this stain
Can be consumed, can be sought out by bugs
So what about
Julie? Pick them up
Pick them up, again and
Again, you pass by a
Simulated crime scene
Music on the top floor causes a
Stir and a human shield is remembered for
Mischief, this is similar to the goings-on
In a broken-down camper van...there is an old
Joke about two more vans on either side...one that says
Camp van and one that says campest van, this is told by
A...he's a scouser, not a southerner...type of bloke
At last, i get to tick off another of life's boxes as
The British Mohair industry gets shut of
The fake, yeah...you
Yer an east-bound fake

Scorekeeping, this is vital for the one about to drop
To the floor...double ten, treble four
The cheap stuff contributes at least to
Some aerobic exercise
Don't leave me high and dry
With the joiners, i anticipate
Injuries sustained, it is a frightening prospect
It is the last chance saloon where to eat with
Others can sometimes be off-putting
Sometimes not, this page is at once
Visible...asked about it, i dismiss
It and change the subject
Really
Really i do
The sweating under helmets is
Now profuse, the spelling of the word coccyx
Is challenging me at this moment, as is the
Idea of a friend acting as matchmaker, she wants me to
Be as happy as her, as lucky in Love
Jesus
I am i, watching the childhood
Scatter, the builder is happy
His job is cock-on, superb
I remember feelings of job satisfaction also
Happy as larry, will never marry, it
Brought similar lump-in-throat moments
Has done for many i suspect, unlike
The enquiry into the fleur-de-lys
Patterned wallpaper, this is
A complete failure, he questions my place of
Birth on hearing my accent and wrongly
Guesses that it is across waters
His world is alien to me, it is
La de da
La de da
La de da, but
I will rise, i will...to the F-layer
We have momentum here and a
Science worth nice evenings
The decision-making is pretty bad right now
The clapperboard clock reads eighteen ten
The staff here attempt to clarify their respective
Whereabouts at this time last night
Directions to other drinking dens are discussed also
The mornings are acidic
The mornings are acidic here
I lose myself as i always have
In the contrails
Where i used to live, they could be found
In the same places with
The runners and with the closed cathedral
With the prolific and with the jobsworths

This is well rehearsed, this city
Was the first blah blah blah
I've never done this, feel small
Feel like the head of services
Feel like reading the
Bringing-into-work-of-last-night's-newspaper-clippings
The lawyers are all the same, behind a screen of
Shisha smoke, the analysand enjoys some marbellous
Music and has got issues with the world's
Most prolific stuntman
Meanwhile
I adopt the gestures and mannerisms of those i get close
To, this cannot be helped sometimes in an
Ambivalent England
Hiya guys is an example of this
It has been confirmed by a
Close associate, or rather stated that
She does the same
This acoustic is a dream, he needs more
Balls though...not a criticism
Just a passage from a book eh?
Just new releases eh?
Just enquiry point eh?
It's all in the wrigglin' of a wrist, the need
To ask questions
I may as well, stone
To ground, the heating in the head
Why is it like Greenland
In here?
Coco, choco, into town to get
A watch repaired, same
Old same old, pedantically...for god's sake
An egg and a flake, a life less ordinary, or
Just Lifeless?
As lifeless as sex toys, just
Who does use these things?
I'd better ring
I'd better ring

Searching for the words, they
At last come to me...tenuous
Links, they are...very pleasant
Is this...they are absorbed in a
Conversation with c'mon Paul
I think about this because of
An accidental stumbling
Upon the self, upon the will
Upon the dancing, upon the dirty and
The Debs and upon the two dartboards in one day
All these things and more, such as
The tale of the two star crossed Lovers and
The notion that families love libraries
That's right
Families
Love
Libraries
And they love Spanish olives also
Tuning up and the sound-check, this is
A drag, not in the unexpected out of night
Anyway, nay mind that...a man asks if he can use the chairs
Nearside
Yes, but for what?
This gag cracks a small small smile from a
Timid partner, this satisfies the striving patterns
Which are carried everywhere, including the
Bookstores of Leeds
This young 'un has had a stroke i think
This other young 'un has a bright future...he
Is in-store, eyes are averted to education
I consider for the first time since my split computer courses
On my doorstep, computer courses for the seven year old
Nephew i have never met
And never will before my
Life at forty, there are/were those
Who make nothing of this
They are sound
They are disconnect
They are legend
They are world cinema...this
Has never appealed so much
I know...later i will be
Exhausted, consumed, sore
With bed, but
I'm prepared
I'm life at forty
I will emphasise this
With caps lock, with
The giving of vouchers to working
Carers, with dodgy humour inflicted upon
This evening's compere and with the
Use of savvy
Yes, savvy

An exclamation...mark is missing
From this destination nameplate, please
Refrain from smart-alec comments
Where is it?
Where is the Love?
I'm with the Ho
Though
I'm with the red, gold and
Green
You have to be seen
There is pride aplenty
Beautiful beautiful
Beautiful...beautiful
Boy
I'm at the San Remo Classico
Beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful
I have a bonus top-up
So i do, the flushed cheeks, the
Unflushed toilet...all of this
Adds to the closeness
God, you'll never know
Long distance travel tires
Me, this is broken up only by the request
Which is gestured...to
Elbow out of the way
Anyone who may take
The free seat at Golders
Green, you are lucky to board
Without a print-out
You are lucky full bloody stop
The preserver of favours is a
Tad embarrassed, so just...
Walk under girders
Green line it to animals in war
Be the best
Master landscaping
Be popular in Poplar
Take up paper art
Watch, play, escape
Grafitti the inaccessible
Play goldfish
There you go
Wink wink
There is somethin' to be said about
Being the/an outsider...
You belong
You belong to the factory
Outlet, you are
La Tops, you are
Trunk road, you are
Spirit of the North
This endless you can now
Clutch direct and
Hear the music that is foreign
Language, that is a temporary
Shadow

I pass on the stove shows and farmer's world as well, i'm
Desperately seeking out that searing magic, those moments when
The sky is atomic, when tearducts actually do work...it's
Not happening, i've had well over seven thousand danses
Oh well, we'll never learn
Oh no, don't go
The grand tour...God, long
Distance travel wears me
Out, sitting side by side with the
Cardinals and making angels laugh with
A...That's Life...slant on life
If you like, this is Peckham...Rye humour
Risky, cemented, careful, housed, city, powder
Triple and shoulder length and
Which branch?
Some names annoy me, some don't
Bowel, bloom, bladder, blossom...what
A weekend that was
Wait...i'm still on the B's, a flashback occurs
Crown Court is displaced by afternoons of waste
This is criminal
The theme is addictive, it is repeated in
Retro televisual arenas
Womenintechnology is a far cry from this mindset
The set mind
But just, but just
Just...just
The sheer size of people
The friends of journeys
The cleanliness of streets
The phonin' of action lines
The smell of functionality
The small of your back
The whipping of laptop
The delicious blend of timekeeping
The low cost of sniff sniff
The death of managerial
The mocking of technically suits/boots
The ordinariness of turbans
The logging of beauty
The vacant in yer eyes
It's sort of like...strange

It takes me a while
Like slow lorries, to
Figure out our leader's frequent hand signals
It is union, solidarity an' all that
That's okay in them thar hills, but
When do the passengers get a break?
This still resonates but we are
All palletised, this she needs to understand
On this, our progress along very, very
Straight
Roman Roads
Okay kid...i kinda' love you
Bladdered and elecrical, dubious like the indoor pigeon
It flies into windows, clatters like
I am here now
Eyes are hazel, finished too
The city types appear to stare also, not
Glazed though, not
Plasma though, not
Mimic though...
Impersonal, but the gruff laugh warms cockles
Like a one-time boxer, like he wants to communique...like
He wants to share his experience of the Surrealists
And of the leaving of shopping bags on the dancefloor
When one goes out unexpectedly on the piss
United Kingdom scenic, pure
Irish also, this is cool and
Cool
I deserve some happiness
Am i moving on?
The Arabica beans smell of damp
The castle looks splendid, but it's just the morning sun
That creates the splendid
That enlivens paved zones on which i will meander
To feed the gannets and the crows, this i will do
While she puts on some slap, looking mighty fine
The gadfly is the elite, it is borstal, we
Go go-karting one day
Go go to a places of interest the next
An attempt is made to see the
Ram, its horn and its struggle in the thicket
Is it visible?
From Tournai marble, i move to an Armitage Shanks
As clear as a day, the mind is always
Focused here

White lining drivers and the protectors of
Bats, the pendulum has swung again...this time
A grand tourisme is in order as this hateful Teenager...not...breaks
Down in front of me, of all people
I reach out, naturally, like the bat officer from Hell
From sticker to bowling back, the
Grand tourisme is almost over...i'm glad i went
The venereable bede was a part of it
Steal it and you're marked, smarty pants
The Geordies take the mick out of weak bladders, especially
Mine, they do this every day
They talk about death traps and Reg
Vardy, this is a professional response
This is about keeping a keen eye on things and the temperature
Too and the making sure a fifteen minute break precedes a
Thirty minute break and not the other way round
I wish my wife...was
This dirty
Stroking, threw it all
Away...you know?
Reel around the fountain, it plays in the
Electrical superstore, this makes
My day, this reminds me
The old ones are the best
That said, stuff like mohicans on top of
Crash helmets and hazy Jane characters
Still make me smile
I need a brand new friend
Thank you driver

I trigger the alarm, the brushing against
Evacuate, this jolts me
This is accidental, it is this and other
Early morning encounters with a prostitute...i
Have never got a light...and rodents that give
Me the zig zag headache
I am convinced of this
Don't be afraid to try
What when where why
In the company of the Happy
Gang and the sedated psychotic, i await
The arrival of analgesics because
Even the most spiteful Lover will
Be at your feet, so says the divine
Personality, across this acreage it is
Difficult to argue as the
Natural arrives, is a natural too
Is so loveable, is so office
Depot material...we go to the
Filling station with this
Man Jesus, it is not far from
Wednesbury, this place name always
Inspires backseat jokes that rise above
A Jimmy, a shandy and a cassette and that
Involve days of the week...
What day is it?
It's Thursbury...
And so on, but
Safe in the knowledge, well we were
In our industrial footwear
They take poppers in good faith
Post poetry to the heartland and
We name-drop the latecomers
As i brush up on my fieldwork, i am outbound
To the Medway, in so choosing
I eat stewed fruit, this is medicine
I relax, listen to the music of columns and await
With the volume down, a
Favourite television drama...the
Preceding one i dislike...well, what
Is one to do when a love affair is over?
When an angel walks into one's
Life?

Up to the fells
And up to the fells
We shall go, we shall
Inhabit spaces occupied by
On this occasion, Domine
But normally by freemasons
Those with pleurisy
Those with quantities of malt whiskey
Will go on barge cruises and
Her face...
Her face...will be forever
In soft focus
Anybody's face is forever soft focus
Going by a recent email story, this
Man of the lodge is not unusual
In trying his hand, speaking
Of which
His hand lingers longer than
Usual, strokes hair
There is no boob sideswipe in
This instance though
That would be too much
I like the signing off from a new friend
It goes like this...
Love like scrambled eggs
I play children's games and am
Deafened by cartoon soundtracks, i hear
Repeat tales of trips to Australia, dogs and
Tattoos, these appear out of the blue and when
They are not relevent
Oh...and Robbie slags Michael in his video
I consider some of the more tortuous aspects of
This role and wonder if i will replay them in the
Future...a bit like that feller in The Deer
Hunter who shoots himself in the head
Love like sweet jam and bread

Oh Mutter
I can feel the pale imitations, but
I follow the pale imitations with passion
This was said by the voyant with twenty
Four years of success, though i cannot now find the
Voyant, so now to the windy willows and
Aaron...Christmas two thousand and three
Love from Nanna and Grandad xxx
Let's not forget...
To Howard, happy fiftieth
Birthday, lots of love, Carol xxx
This one is May two thousand during a brief
Interest in spacewatching
I have in my time, also
Opened the scuttle at night and
Shuffled my foot ever closer to other
Worlds
To another world
And on that note
It is true, nothing
Does compare to you
I nod hello
Taxis cost ten pounds or more from...
According to the know-all
According to the indoor growers of rhubarb
They are threatened by European imports
You think you've got problems?
Look at Nagy, the Hungarian?
He's getting an absolute hammering
In the first of four rounds
This mis-match is available
In silence, therefore i am able
Still, to recognize the voices
Of the people
In here
And it's in here that
I rock...that's all
I rock...that's all

On the back of rotas
On the lending of a tenner
We see that fame...
Fame is empty sounds
I wasn't dancing and
There is fixed a frown, so it is here
That they say we
Suck 'em dry, so they say
There is comedy in religion, there
Is sincerity in the Green
Scapular and North of England
Wools
He meets a famous actor
He meets a famous soap actor also
In person too
I acknowledge this and pass by a box of
Pulverised fireworks
They are spent
Don't say i didn't warn you
About Reg and coronations
About piercings and bonds
About the green card
Now she meets a soap actor
This inn is full of oddfellows
Complete plant pots, they shout
At the television
Is this effective?
Is the following effective?
When locked empty buildings are filled
With the sound of alarms?
They pulsate to the sound of
Abandonment and to the buyers of
Obsolete plant and machinery
Make the most of sneak
Previews and unbeatable
If you are running low on faith
Or if you
Had an accident?
They sometimes say penny
Wise and pound
Stupid
Stupid
I journey along the West Royde
I journey along the West Royde
While jokes...lots of jokes about age are made during
The calling of bingo numbers, i am
Reminded of filth
We don't want no more war while there is
Sunshine on Leith
Stardust on Grangemouth
It is just my way of attempting
Communication and in so doing, i
Decide i could probably live in
Retirement Road
I need to escape

Functions, meetings
Conferences...i am invited to
Paradise but choose instead
Turf, white lines and
History
Manchester slate was yesterday
Now is the time for the
Final countdown, for the
Rank and file triallists
With precycling and the habit
Of driving with just one hand on the wheel, i
Attempt to free myself from samsara
With a hate for authority, i see
A young Sheffield band, they please me
Everso
This creates bulk in the
Gut, this question
These questions are persistant
I hear motown tracks
Over and over, the scratch on
One...this glitch on a crystal landscape
Provides comfort from the hounding and
The pounding from a
Mainstream, the games room
The tv room...
It's best just to join in
I dream of Northern soulsters
I cannot work with glass
I cannot speak but can sing
I can read admission policies
I can never understand...
The murmers of Elvis are
The murmers of the Doobie Brothers are
The murmers of...
I am close to talking about it
I am this close

They are talking the pros and
Cons of power point
It stunts some
It inspires others
The talk is of work
What else to say?
I admire this and
Tonight i anticipate the schedule of a second channel
I will become tearful perhaps and
Perhaps i will not
The murder of homeless men
In London
Awakes in me the tres difficile
Tres difficile

This is a front, a
Way to help kill these long
Long days, back in odd nos
A way to look occcupied...
A time to have animal dreams, of
Camels in particular
Quabani or karaoke?
Or both?
The map on rear, the selection
Of radio cars, they say...
Go to the light, they say
It's horses for courses
So they say
I re-think, is it
International forwarders?
A babe in a wheelchair
Not...
I should've known
I could've grown up in these roads
This is worse than the olden days
Of terrible Tudors or
Of vile Victorians
I live in the age of
Northern stone industries
This is worth a mention as is
The asking of a question
Where is your local?
It is not answered
I'm a tiger
A t...t...tiger
I have changed this last bit for
My little runaway, today
I took my last ever pictures of
An unlikely acquaintance
I want to repeat this but is too shy
I chance upon one of the locals, a
Mother, quickly scanning for the headline about
A brothel Madam being cleared, she looks
At me and smiles

The horrid and the florid skin, the
Wait until ten am for
Open doors, we first
Have janitorial duties to perform
I keep seeing the same
People, in a foreign land an' all
The dispossessed
Marginalised is another word
That appeals
Brittania, this land of
Late shop, dyestuffs and transport
For the chemical industry
Now the harmonica appears, will we have
Entertainment?
Will we be building for an affordable future?
Dunno'
But the jitters have started
It's the drink talking
This globetrotter is
Well out of here
The plating industry is a
Good example of the need for
Human communication
I consider my location at
This time and that of a
Friend
Five hundred miles high
Another friend
Two hundred miles south
Good for them
Good for them
An all day breakfast, tastes like a breakfast
That has been stood there all day too...
An exchange of looks
We inhabit for now, a
Land of commercial forwarders
This chip and pin don't
Always work proper
The button-up legs on Kappa
Tracksuit bottoms eases
The burden, right palm over left dorsum
Left palm over right dorsum
These sweat under latex
The electrical warehouse reminds
One of home
Reminds one of the
Stealing of hearts

I will nay change my mind
Disapprove, slam the door
On the/a red macaw of
Little Germany
Walk tall award winning
Code-breaker, you crazy
Little thing they call hands-on
Is Mornington Crescent the one that
Used to have a cross through it?
Is other people's possessions
Fair game?
Shift yourself
Shift
I am at the legendary crossroads
I choose not a song about Morrissey and
The Russian sailor
But one of deaf and mute fruit
My hands smell of hard and liquid paraffin
And of damp ups and downs
I only check my inbox these days
The voice is not discernible
Not the old one
Not even the new one
For help, i go everywhere
For this chill wind is new to the body
This quick glance behind to check
Prevents the leaving of belongings
If you knew about flu
If you were to find a sorting office in
Th'early morn, well done
The previous support is Japanese
There are detailed maps therefore
Instructions too
Intricate sketches, simple
Routines
When finished we practice our ollies and
Nollies, we switch off until our next
Visit, when we will pass a horse in a garden
Only to find string light switches have been shortened
By numerous knots
And an avenue of
Odd nos.

Wire, on the wire
This laytest insyte mesmerises, instigates
Pied-piper like behaviour
This makes street plans a must
Why does the retail of
Other cities seem better?
Why enquiries?
An instability is around the corner, the
Next corner
Of course, this cannot last
I was pivot lifted
I was drag lifted
By a magical new album from Yorkshire's
Finest
I am fry, now
I am fry
God alone knows why
Places to visit, i hear a story
From Hunger Hill of the voluntarios
So soon after settling in the company of
Tantrums and tee-totallers
I find myself in possession of
A warm jacket and a smaller stature
The common courtesy of a gentleman
There's not many like you left
There's not adequate maintenance of the ice rink
There's not Muntz metal
There's not enough chuffin' time in the day
So relax, go nuts, go tantrums
Win a gNARLS bARKLEY goodie bag
Tap your fingers to familiar tunes
And stare at dado rail
While you take it all in
