The man of sin
Here he comes

Sharp End First – 9th May 1985
Will they teach you how to sell yourself?
Or can you do it anyway?
Will you listen to anything that’s said?
Have you got anything to say?
Questions, questions
What’s it all about?
Is there any answer
To our doubt?
Will you learn to suck up to yourself?
Are you scared of our words?
Can you hear what you are saying?
Is there something to be heard?
Questions, questions
Always in doubt
The meaning of life
What’s it all about?
Can you accept the morals of now?
Can you accept the moment?
Are you spending time wasting away?
Do you remember the time you spent?

*Virus, Blare, Atrox, (Bad Noise), General Belgrano and the 368 – Greyhound, Bridport, Dorset, UK – 2nd May 1985
15th Oct 2022 – A quick search for this venue indicates the Greyhound Hotel is in the centre of town and is now a Wetherspoons. My memory though is of a shack behind a pub out in the countryside somewhere.
