First day at school
Taught the rule
Teachers look cool
You look the fool
Adults enforce the law
Sent to a place you’ve never been before
From pley skooll and much more
Only job the army, forced to start a war
Month: October 1984
Need – 3rd October 1984
I need something to hold
I need someone warm, not cold
I need something to replace what I lack
I need you like a stab in the back
I need something to help my luck
I need someone to pass the buck
I need something to get me on track
I need you like a stab in the back
Blood On Your Knife – 2nd October 1984
A crowd in the square
Your desire is there
A flame lights in your eye
You know someone’s gonna die
Pick a lonely target
Someone easy to forget
Take that lonely life
With a flash of your knife
Speed – 1st October 1984
Speed down the motorway
Past the police patrol
Can’t catch me now
They’ve got no control
Speed past the services
I don’t need to stop
I don’t need food
I got a gut like a rock
Speed too fast
I sped to my end
The car lost control
On the very last bend
There was nothing I could do
The car went berserk
When anything goes wrong
You say that the machine didn’t work
*The Week That Was – 1st October 1984
Record of the week: Conflict (live)
1st October 1984
No word from Jeremy at all. Walked into town and got school bus back. Had a game of Spotlight. Dandy came down. Went home. Got drunk. Gave Vicki some earrings.
2nd October 1984
Finally wrote SHE’S SO BEAUTIFUL… Got in touch with Jez. He reckons there’s another gig on Friday. Rang Simon. Practice should be next Monday. Conflict Sunday. Busy weekend ahead – I hope.
3rd October 1984
Friday’s gig could be in Hamworthy. Rang Paul. Rang Justin. Rang Jez. Broke a string on Jez’s bass. Started drawing on wall again.
4th October 1984
Tomorrow’s gig is in Hamworthy. Justin may go. Can’t get Jez and he’s being very vague – in love with Fog maybe?
5th October 1984
Went to Poole. Gig wasn’t on. Went down youth club.
7th October 1984
Went to see Conflict. Fuckin’ good. Nice blokes to talk to as well.
