Here comes the hard lad
He pretends he’s really bad
Smoking shit and drinking gin
Hey boy, where’ve you been
This world is built for losers
And beggars can’t be choosers
If you choose to beg at my feet
I’ll give you my fist to eat
There goes the hard lad
He makes me really sad

Forget – 5th November 1986
Try to forget it
Try not to regret it
Try to remember the happy times
Try to forget the bad lines
Try to remember what good you did
Try to forget what you hid
Try to remember to stay alive
Try to forget and try to survive
Monument – 4th November 1986
A monument of historic relevance
Archeologist boasting intelligence
Will someone dig me up in ten million years?
Will someone try to find my hopes and fears?
From the fossil I’ve become
A monument to no one
Garden Path – 3rd November 1986
Tread up
Led up
Fed up
Led on
Fed on
Bled on
Watch the grass grow
On the garden path
Something I’ll never know
Why you led me
Up, up, up, up…..
Crown Of Jewels – 2nd November 1986
Our monarchy
Our democracy
Our despondency
Our reality
Fuelled by fools
For a crown of jewels
Shopping Precinct – 1st November 1986
Down in the town
All the kids meet
Sitting in the precinct
Take the weight off their feet
Shout at the shoppers
Make a nuisance of themselves
Run through the shops
Nicking things off the shelves
Shopping precinct
Social centre
Gathering of the clans
To work out tomorrow’s plan
Plug – 31st October 1986
Plug me in
To your magazines
Plug me in
To your fantasies
Plug me in
To your future dreams
Plug me in
And turn me on
Plug me in
To your hating
Plug me in
To your scathing
Plug me in
To your waiting
Plug me in
And turn me off
Old Ghosts – 30th October 1986
Someone you met long ago
Could have been a friend or foe
You don’t know what to do
Now the old ghosts have come to haunt you
Bad News – 29th October 1986
Got in trouble with the law
Just like the times before
They’ve got my name
It couldn’t last
Bad news travels fast
Bed – 28th October 1986
Marriage of a middle-aged man
Dreamt of it all your tired life
Arguing over what each other said
Got out of the wrong side of the bed
Straying away from the home
You wanted to share something unknown
Took up with another instead
Now you got out of the wrong bed
