The public school the private rule
Rich wealthy kids for education
Wealth for the wealthy infestation
The public school the private rule
Good jobs no yobs, remember the old school tie
Public school private rule, this system must die

The Thirteenth Card – 14th July 1984
The dealer turns the first
His face remains still
He turns the second
The card predicts a kill
The third is turned
He smiles with no concern
Slowly turning the fourth
There’s a lesson to learn
The fifth is observed
The learner shows no alarm
The dealer turns the sixth
Which brings him no harm
He turns the seventh
The patient learner waits
The eighth is observed
Depicting heaven’s gates
The ninth is turned
And the tension begins to rise
Because the tenth
Brings on his demise
The eleventh is turned
And shows a picture of pain
The twelfth is seen
And they take a look again
Then the thirteenth card….
You Can See The Isle Of Wight On A Clear Day – 12th July 1984
Was it a dream?
Was it what it seemed?
How far did you see?
Are you blind to me?
Could you see the Isle of Wight?
You got no insight
Could you see the Isle of Wight?
You got no insight
Beyond The Iriot Nation – 11th July 1984
There is a place where no flower grows
Where seeds are sown of a black rose
The rebellion never ends, never ceases to bloom
But is cherished by those that live in doom
Beyond the Iriot nation
Death comes quickly, too slow for some
The rebellion was squashed, it had never begun
A return to work after they’d gone
And the Iriot nation will always live on
Beyond the Iriot nation
Inspiration – 10th July 1984
It takes an inspiration
It takes an inspiration
It takes an inspiration
It takes an inspiration
To say no
Braindeath – 9th July 1984
Playing with your brain
Knife in the head
Twist the blade, turn the handle
You’re certified braindead
Playing with your brain
Razor blade instead
Slice and splice, soft cool edge
You’re certified braindead
Lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy
13th June 2023 – I couldn’t fathom the use of lobotomy to help people with mental health issues. Thankfully it doesn’t appear to be in use anymore.
CB Freak – 8th July 1984
Jolly Roger
Pork pie bodger
The whole caboodle
And fried poodle
Sweet sweet daisy
Crazy crazy crazy
Life on the rig
And an Irish jig
CB Freak at the end of the day
CB Freak, CB Freak, what’s that you say?
13th June 2023 – Jasper was really into CB when I first met him and it was a bit of a news item at the time though I never really found it that interesting. Talking to strangers you couldn’t see seemed a bit weird. Now look at what we have! We barely talk to friends and mostly talk at strangers!
And The Romance – 2nd July 1984
The romance is the wreckage of your desire
The wreckage of your romance is your desire
I’m going higher, I’m going higher
And the romance
The Comic Show – 30th June 1984
It’s the question of leadership again
All change after election
It’s another comic show the media exposes
Rammed down our throats and up our noses
The comic show – in The Star, The Mail, The Guardian
The comic show – in The Express, The Times and The Sun
Lord God Tomato – 26th June 1984
Some people worship God
Some people worship more than two
Some people adhere to the bible
Some people just don’t care who
I worship – the Lord God Tomato
Eating tomatoes is a cannibalistic venture
This is how we are put to torture
Made to eat our own kind
Though some people don’t mind
The bible bashers have got it all wrong
They’ve been in the dark much too long
The Lord God Tomato is right
We don’t really have to fight
