Why do I look so miserable?
You say it might never happen
Well, how do you know it hasn’t?

Survivors – 28th May 1988
*Woke up this morning, rubbed the dust from my eyes
Had to live again the life I despise
No use pretending I was born free
I was given eyes, but they’re not to see
Drew back the curtains to view the outside
And to my disbelief, I realised the world had died
Couldn’t understand why I was alive
And there was no one to hear my fear-fraught cry*
Been through pain and back again
We’ll survive to the end
Seen the hate confronting me
I will not concede
You’ll feel alive if you can survive
What you always wanted to be
Too hard to believe
Take your chance to be free
You will achieve
You just can’t convince me now
I have the right to feel so proud
You just can’t control my mind
I’m taking back what was always mine
*These lyrics were originally written by someone in Atrox (possibly Charlie Mason) for the song Is This Tomorrow…?
Stupid – 26th May 1988
You’re so stupid
You’re so young
You’re so stupid
Just plain dumb
You’re so stupid
But it was fun
So stupid
Being young
Eat Your Toilet – 25th May 1988
I’m going to vacuum up both my cats
I’m gonna drown my yellow plastic ducks
Convert my bedsit into twenty flats
I’ve got my microwave set to self-destruct
And now I’m gonna eat your toilet
Abortion – 24th May 1988
You seem to think you’re so fucked up
You just can’t cope, but you won’t blame yourself
And all this pain you’re feeling
You want to pass onto someone else
How do you think they feel
Now they become your dead kid?
Cos that’s the judgement you make
For the stupid thing that you did
Windows – 23rd May 1988
I’m taking a view of the outside world
Even though it’s not what I want to see
The more I look through my window
I know that’s where I want to be
Asshole – 22nd May 1988
Maybe it’s just the way I say it
Maybe it’s the things I do
I think you’re just an asshole
Cos I’m an asshole too
Slip You A Length – 18th May 1988
Felt my way through a slippery skin
I just had to find my way in
I’ll make you scream and sweat
Hang on in there, I haven’t finished yet
Underneath – 17th May 1988
I look in the mirror
All that I see
It’s just a
Reflection of me
But you
You only see me as a joke
I’m sure underneath
I’m really a nice bloke
