“Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But, since no one was listening, everything must be said again.” – Andre Gide
Tracy is lovely
But demonic in her lust
She has lost all my hope
Cos of her chronic trust
7th May 2023 – I don’t remember who this Tracy was but I was obviously upset about her sexual aggressiveness that made her less attractive to me. And, of course, all this could’ve been just in my head.
This is Toytown where Noddy lives
And Big Ears is a Jehovah’s Witness
People wear hats with bells
Land of lobotomy brain cells
Feeling really mad
But you’re not insane
You drive yourself madder
Til you lose your brain
Think again about going mad
The end result could be bad
You don’t intend to lose your brain
But in the end, you go insane
It’s a sporting life supporting life
For the pregnant mums on the ward
All the hard work that has to follow
I think debut mums should be warned
5th May 2023 – Not sure what prompted this empathetic little ode. I definitely wasn’t speaking from any experience.
In and out lifestyle, it becomes a bore
It’s boring doing the same things, I won’t anymore
In and out, repeat, repeat, clock the card
In and out, clocked in, trying too hard
5th May 2023 – Despite never having worked a day in my life I already was aware of the realities of the rat race. I’ve spent many years clocking in and out since then and admittedly, I do still hate that.
You gotta have brains to make the exam
If you don’t you’re not a man
I decided I didn’t want to try
But you can’t tell the teachers
They just ask why
5th May 2023 – At this time I would’ve been preparing to do trial exams before the real ones next year. I seem to be equating intelligence with manliness.
Vince is a brain
An anarchist punk
So in the election he stood SDP
They won’t let him have an anarchist party
It’s too much brains for him you see
Vince the prince of the SDP
You won
4th May 2023 – Vince was the class clown and sure enough after finishing high school, he became a children’s entertainer ie. a clown! The school decided that they would perform elections for fun, though I’m not sure if there was actually any duty to carry out once elected. Vince applied, with all our support but was denied having an anarchist party so chose SDP instead. They were a third party to attempt to balance Labour and Conservative in British politics. They never faired much in government but Vince won our school election by a landslide. The cult of personality.
Vince was also a drummer and he would be a member of my first real attempted band with Rupert and Jeremy along with a younger kid who wanted to be part of it and said we could practice at his house one afternoon. He lived way out in the countryside and my mum dropped us all off with drums and guitars only to find out the kid wasn’t even home. As my mum had already left we were thankfully invited in by the kid’s parents and banged around making a dreadful noise for a few hours before the kid turned up about 10 minutes before my mum was due to pick us up. Our one and only practice was good fun but showed us we completely lacked any kind of musical ability.
It was your fault all along
I laughed when you got it wrong
You were caught in the wrong place
So don’t blame me cos I’ll spit in your face
2nd May 2023 – Hello, contrarian. Psychologists – analyse!
I wanna be nice, I wanna be a friend
Instead of driving someone round the bend
I don’t care if people don’t defend me
I don’t care, I don’t wanna be trendy
2nd May 2023 – Teenage statement of intent.
