These Visions – 19th February 1988

You’re sitting at home
These visions in your head
You’re all alone
With your mind just full of dread
You start to wonder
Why it’s like it was before
You’re going under
In your own personal war

All you’ve got are these memories
Repeated visions of what you’ve done
I can’t help you if you’re not telling me
You start to wonder where it’s all gone

Depressing your ego
With visions of the past
You won’t let me go
And that’s all I ask
Your time’s been wasted
Trying to repeat all the good times
It’s me that you hated
But you kept ignoring all the signs

All you’ve got are these twisted visions
Repetition, repetition of what you’ve done
I can’t help you make your decision
Strange to be nostalgic when you’re only 21*

*lifted word for word from the Partisans ‘Only 21’ – because it’s a great line!

25 Dead In Crash – 10th February 1988

I heard this story on the news today
25 dead in a crash on the motorway
The cars just piled up one on one on one
Down the inside lane over a mile long
And mummy said – call me when you arrive
That was the last time she ever saw her son alive
25 dead in crash
Donate your cash
25 dead in crash
Donate your cash
“My wife died – she was so young
Was so pretty and full of fun
So I’ll take any money you want to give
Now at last is my chance to live
Sorry, you know I didn’t mean it
Give me money – every little bit!”
25 dead in crash
Let’s crash for cash
