Everyone hates me
Jealous of what I am
I got nothing to prove
While they are trying to be a big man
I laugh at the poor old souls
Whose only aims and goals
Is to be the best
And rise above the rest
If they ever get there
They will soon fall
Someone else will come along
To beat you all
Sorry, I don’t want to run this race
I’ll go at my own pace
I’m good enough for me
That’s all I need to be
Month: July 1986
Music Is The Food Of Love – 25th July 1986
How I love you so
I want to turn you on
Turn the volume up
And hear another song
Music is the food of love
Music is all that I think of
Girls don’t mean that much to me
Because music is raw sexual energy
Gloryhunter – 19th July 1986
Gloryhunter wants to win
Gloryhunter put to the test
Gloryhunter always loses
Gloryhunter lost to the rest
Gloryhunter will never learn
He will win when it’s his turn
Cider Crazed Maniacs – 18th July 1986
They roam in gangs
Walking down the street
‘Have you got twenty pence?’
To everyone they meet
They tread every metre
In search of a litre
They’ll be your pal
If you give them a gal
Cider crazed maniacs
The offy has just shut
So they go and get the homebrew
And put that in their gut
Sunday Cycle Ride – 15th July 1986
‘Shall we go out on our bikes?’
‘OK darling, if you like’
‘We’ll ride around the roads
And not car where we go’
‘Pay no attention to the signs
Not stop at the ‘Give Way’ lines’
‘Forget about using the brakes
Only car drivers make mistakes’
‘Well I hope none of us dies
On our Sunday cycle ride’
Battered Wives – 7th July 1986
The chip shop had closed
The fish all disposed
The men had an idea
Women all ran in fear
There’s a new food on your plate
For men to eat their hate
It’s the best meal of their lives
As they eat their battered wives
Destruct – 6th July 1986
I got my Tonka toy
I started to destroy
Everything you’d built
Up against my guilt
I’d rather see you destruct
Than to reconstruct
I wanna see you destroyed
Before I get annoyed
I Ruined The World – 5th July 1986
You’re on your knees
I can do what I please
Cos I’m a big tease
I ruined the world
I sucked you all in
You can never win
Against my evil sin
I ruined the world
I went to the moon
It became obvious soon
That I was a raving loon
I ruined the world
Leprechaun – 4th July 1986
Little green man
Help me if you can
You were born
A leprechaun
Your magical powers
Makes rain showers
Makes sun shine
At any time
You’re so bright
I thought you might
Help me in this mess
Before I get obsessed
With leprechauns
5th October 2023 – When I was six or seven, the lodgers in our house, especially Paul, used to call me ‘Shaun, Shaun the leprechaun’. I hated it – but only because they were making fun. I kind of enjoyed it too. About ten years later I adapted this to make my punk name ‘Leper’ though as with anyone who chooses their own nickname, it didn’t stick.
Paul also used to joke with me that I was half an orphan and when I complained about it he told me that both his parents had already died and then I felt bad. Was it weird to grow up without a dad and as an only child. It’s hard to say when you are the one living it. Things out of your control shape our little minds.
Fidget – 1st July 1986
You’re nervous
You always twitch
You always think
You’ve got an itch
You fidget in bed
Keep me awake
Stop it!
For heaven’s sake
