Schizophobia – 4th March 1989

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Am I plastic or maybe metal
Can’t remember if I’m mental   
A portion of the poison           
Has infected my left side         
Sometimes I walk in a stupor   
Like my brain’s been stir fried  
But I’m so afraid of my thought            
My crosses have become noughts         
This is what I was taught

Russia – 2nd March 1989

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Deserted streets cold and grey
Snow and sleet near every day
Deserted streets grey and cold  
This is Russia – So I’m told    
Oh … And it’s full of Russians  
Who live in cold grey homes   
They probably use the same bank as us  
So they can get their loans       
…. Maybe?

The Worrier – 24th February 1989

The worrier died early in life
Left two children and a lovely wife       
Maybe if he hadn’t worried so much      
He’d still be here to touch        
Cancer         
Carcrash      
Disaster       
Disease        
Murder        
Is life even worth the bother?

Q.E.D – Bacchus – 18th February 1989

10th Jan 2023 – I don’t think there’s anything to add to this – I don’t have the precise date – between 16th Feb and 20th Mar, I don’t know who Q.E.D. were and I don’t remember a venue called Bacchus. This may have been a random visit to a bar and a band was playing, or maybe someone I knew, knew someone in the band and I tagged along to check them out. Either way, I guess nothing memorable really happened this night!
