Holier Than Thou – 26th December 1986

December 26, 1986March 23, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

I say cos I’m sure
You need a cure
I know I’m right
You’re such a sight
I’m the ultimate man
You can be my fan
I’m the ultimate god
You’re all pretty odd
You’ll worship me
That’s all you can be
You call me a lunatic
But you’re the ones who’re sick

Self Destruct – 25th December 1986

December 25, 1986March 23, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

I wanna blow up all over your face
I wanna explode in outer space
I want my countdown to reach nought
I wanna self destruct before I get caught
In your destruction

Discovered Body – 24th December 1986

December 24, 1986May 7, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

They found a body in the wood
The police have mounted a murder hunt
No clues from the people quizzed
The police run in circles to be perfectly blunt
Run themselves into dead ends
Hoping for the slightest clue
Follow each other in the maze
So they’ve got something to do
‘As yet, no more evidence has been found’
But another murdered body lies in the ground

Frankie’s Dream – 23rd December 1986

December 23, 1986May 7, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Frankie’s dream made him sweat
And he hasn’t even finished yet
He’s living out his action man
He’s getting by as best he can
Frankie’s dream made him choke
He realised it wasn’t a joke
This was his life, he had to live it
Everything he had, he had to give it

Wonder – 22nd December 1986

December 22, 1986October 2, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Wonder of wonderful wanderings
Taste the tasteful offerings
Sleep off the sleepless midnight hours
Magic the magical wizards’ powers
Wander in wonder
Murder through blunder
Overground is under
Ride on the thunder

I Am Ready To Serve – 21st December 1986

December 21, 1986May 3, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Slave to your trade
Girocheque, monthly paid
Tax takes one third
I am ready to serve
Fill in the form
The day you were born
Adjust to the curve
I am ready to serve

Prospects – 20th December 1986

December 20, 1986May 3, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

No luck and no hope
Worry about how to cope
Depression is a normal state
Or lose your rag and build up the hate
Prospects for prospective miners
Part rewards for the part-timers

Days Are Numbered – 19th December 1986

December 19, 1986May 3, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Twelve months a year
Fifty-two weeks nearly
Our days are numbered
I can see it quite clearly
Thirty days a month
Sometimes thirty one
Our days are numbered
The end is sure to come

Ashes – 18th December 1986

December 18, 1986May 3, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Dust to rusty footsteps
Forget-me-nots forgets
Ashes to passive ears
Bulging eyes shed swollen tears
Fires for desired, burning hearts
Kindling coal of forgotten parts

Step Inside – 17th December 1986

December 17, 1986May 3, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Step inside, body for sale
Pay as you go, no cheques, please
Credit limit as you can afford
Step inside with such ease

15th Nov 2023 – This one doesn’t make sense but seems to highlight ongoing issues with understanding financial management!
