I know I’m getting on / and you’re so very young / but would you like to stay / until next Saturday / or Sunday? / I’ll give you your own room / it’s next door to my room / and some time in the night / well, maybe I just might / Oh take […]
Oh children of the future … conceived in the toilets at Meadowhall … to be raised on the cheap cold slabs of garage floors … rolling empty cans down the stairway … (don’t you love that sound?) … whilst the thoughts of a bad social worker ran through his head … trying to remember what […]
She / she used to live with his brother / Now she’s an unmarried mother / with another / on the way / He’s seond rate / twisted out of shape / and he looks a state, it costs so much to look this rough / They go to town / they like to shop […]
I’ve got the time / and you’ve got the space / I’m gonna wipe you down / and lick the smile off your face, the smile off your face / Though we know that it’s wrong / towel sets / matching combs / Oh it looks so good but does it turn you on? / […]

I am not Jesus though I have the same initials – I am the man who stays home and does the dishes. & how was your day? Is that woman still trying to do your head in? A man told me to beware of 33. He said, ‘It was not an easy time for me’ […]
