Blotched and ragged
Rough and jagged
You want to trade this one in
For a new skin

Plastic and tough
And it’s flexible enough
To take everything
Your new skin

Got up at 11.30. Went to Careers Office, told them I’ve got a job. Couldn’t draw any more money out. Only just managed to get some fags from Gaunts. Bennett didn’t get any dope. He says it was white (?). Stayed in tonight. Thunderbolt and Lightfoot was on again. It’s still good.
