The Now Children – 30th December 1984

Children now children now
Biff bang pow biff bang pow
The now children look older than you think
At ten they smoke, take drugs and drink
The now children have the hate of the past
How now will future generations last?
The now children remember their fights
Running in gangs on the street at nights
The now children, the now children
Who will kill them? Who will kill them?

Deny Everything – 26th December 1984

Deny everything if you get caught
Don’t be fooled, don’t be bought
It wasn’t you, you weren’t there
They’ll give in, don’t despair
It wasn’t you, walk away tall
Deny everything, deny it all

24th August 2023 – Deny everything was Jez’s motto. I was too scared to lie about some things so tried to not get into a position of having to deny things, but you know what teenagers can be like. Trouble found us easily. I’m not sure how well it served Jez either. As he liked to point out when I last saw him a few years ago, ‘I’ve been to prison, me!’ Hmm – well done!

Screaming Hate – 24th December 1984

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Someone at my door
Knock knock knock
I opened up the door
And gave him a shock
The copper came too late
I was screaming hate
I hit him in the head
I said ‘Get lost mate’
He finally went away
We were both screaming hate
I went upstairs to bed
I was very tired
Where did the hate come from
Which I had acquired?
I couldn’t stop thinking
This secret I must keep
I was very confused
But I was soon asleep
