Gymnasts are so young
It makes you think, what’s going on?
What have your children done?
They’re run out at twenty-one

Calorie – 25th November 1986
Calorie, you are so sweet
I think about you when I eat
I’m so fat, I can’t see my feet
Cos calorie, you’re such a treat
Intruder – 24th November 1986
Rummage through your possessions with aggression
The intruder’s come to teach you a lesson
You should get your old alarm fixed
Cos in the morning everything’s been nicked
The Sixty-Four-Thousand Dollar Question – 23rd November 1986
What is after life?
Do I really exist?
Why do these problems
Always persist?
What is our function?
Why am I here?
What is it really
That makes me fear
The sixty-four-thousand dollar question?

Stranded – 22nd November 1986
In isolation, I stand
I hold no one’s hand
I don’t wish to get away
I think I’d rather stay
Stranded and alone
My body as my home
I’ll just stay stranded
And remain singlehanded
E Numbers – 21st November 1986
Be my E-number
I want to eat you
Be of no
Nutritional value
Be my E
Four two two
You taste nice
But I don’t know what to do
Be my E-number
Inside my tummy
Be my E-number
Cos you taste so yummy
Be my E
Four nine one
I love the taste of you
On my tongue
Pigpen – 20th November 1986
Pigpen
Ditch water
Eat the mud
Spill the blood
In your slaughter
Pigpen
Happy then
Belly full
All full up
In your den
In your mud
In your blood
In your pigpen
Glory – 19th November 1986
What a wonderful world God’s created
Our lives are so underrated
Everywhere you go
People putting themselves down
Everyone you know
Putting you down
All the glory in this glorious show
Same old story about someone you don’t know
In You I Trusted – 18th November 1986
I put my trust in you
What do you do?
Beat me black and blue
In you I trusted
That’s been busted
Broken in two
Now I won’t trust you
Nightmare – 17th November 1986
You live in the gutter
Eating with the rats
You cough and splutter
In your nightmare perhaps
Falling, forever falling
Down on your friends
You can’t stop shouting and calling
Cos the nightmare never ends
