The most crowded place in the stores
Is definitely not the tills
It’s at the C.C.D.
Customers displaying their ills
The seat is always warm
The atmosphere is hot
Some woman complaining
About what she got
A spider in her carrot
A finger in her pie
The C.C.D.
Just poked her in the eye
And said goodbye
The C.C.D.
Has closed it’s doors
They have to listen
To so many scores
Of complaints
Complaints

Body Of A Slave – 22nd March 1985
The crack of the whip
Whips the cracking skin
The body of a slave
The body of sin
Slave boy in master’s womb
Forced to try to seal your tomb
Mistress’s slave meets his doom
Blood is in the air
The smell of sin
The body of a slave
Found in the bin
Season Ticket – 21st March 1985
You took me for a ride
I had a case of genocide
It’s much too much
I’m out of touch
Oooohh God
No reason to give reason
I’ve got a ticket for the season
Look what you’ve done
You’ve surely won
Gooooodbyyyee
No Holds Barred – 20th March 1985
In the mood
The trampled moved
The Suzies grooved
No holds barred
Running through the alleys
Meet at Hammersmith Palais
It’s poison the rat carries
No holds barred
No life saved
All too brave
We danced on your grave
No holds barred
Television – 19th March 1985
I’ve heard it all before
I’ve heard it all before
It’s all such a bore
Repeats, repeats
Better than baked beans
Take your seats
In front of the screens
Television has no vision
Cuts into you, delicate incision
Active in your mind and speech
It’s wonderful how television can teach
*Tube Train – 18th March 1985
Travelling on the tube train
Noise rattles your brain
Sitting on the dirty seats
Escalator takes your feet
Away
Riding on the tube train
Ride, ride, ride, ride
You’re deep inside
The underground
Taking you around
On tube trains

Working same place. Others are helping too. Went to Holtwood. Pete offered an expenses-paid concert there. Can’t be bad. Went down Hinton Martell for meeting. Saw Tammy for first time. She’s OK but always talking about herself. Scott was getting off with her last I saw.

The Minster Green – 17th March 1985
The minster green
Has seen many a thing
It has seen violence
And the love we can bring
The minster green
Has seen many a thing
It has heard the silence
It has heard us sing
The minster green
The minster green
I think of all the secrets you’ve seen
In Tune Out Of Time – 16th March 1985
Took us half an hour
To tune the guitars
We started to play
A few simple bars
But it was in tune, out of time
And the words didn’t rhyme
Finally, we got the rhythm
We all started to swing
Everything was ok
Except for one tiny thing
We were in time, out of tune
I think we should finish soon
Chasm – 14th March 1985
Chase me
Erase me
Dictate me
Love me – hate me
Join me
Orgasm
Deep
In the chasm
Feed me
Defeat me
Bleed me
Complete me
Deep
In the orgasm
Join me
In the chasm
Journey To Beyond – 13th March 1985
It was a journey to nowhere
We never expected to end up here
But what can we do now?
Our future is not clear
We have to stop and rest
Our ship was put to the test
The memory banks have gone
On the journey to beyond
