Bad Dream – 14th August 1984

I had a feeling of content in my dreams of sin
I dreamt of an existence where I must surely win
The blackness turned to white, silence seemed to wait
The cruelty seemed so far away ’til I was screaming hate

I fell into traps but only fell so far
Drunk all I could drink in a never-ending bar
Smoked all I could smoke out of a continuous box
Surrender! Surrounded by four doors without locks

I had a bad dream and sinned so many times
I join up all the dots and don’t draw any lines
So what conclusion can you bring from my rhyme
Caught in a bad dream with proportions out of time

I fell into traps but only fell so far
I drove alone, international side affect slur
Pretty pictures daunting realism effect
They are only too real, perfect – perfect

Grade One – 13th August 1984

Pretty good for a beginner
You’re the best, you’re the winner
I don’t fuckin’ care who passed
Schools are a thing that just can’t last
They’re a blast from the past
And I fucked up my mocks
‘Come on boy, pull up your socks’
I ain’t done well, I’ve got ungraded
My chances of employment have been jaded
But I don’t fuckin’ care who passed
Schools are a thing that just can’t last
They’re a blast from the past

Blister – 10th August 1984

Blistered and boiled, my body is soiled
Radiation – I got a blister, sister
Hey mister – I got a blister
Battered and burned, my soul has turned
Into a massive pool of bile
Don’t that make you bastards wanna smile?
You’d drop a bomb
When you find someone bad enough to drop it on
Radiation – I got a blister, sister
Hey mister – I got a blister
Hold my hand
Feel it melt down your arm
But don’t panic
I’ll capture you with my radiating charm
Yeah, brothers and sisters
We’re all bloody blisters
