Ok and au fait
Fashioned and fashionable
Extravagant but fanciable

Seventeen with seven teens
Modelling themselves on Monroe

Five-Card Stud – 13th October 1986
Sitting at the table
Playing for all you’re able
You’d sell your soul if you could
To pay the price of five-card stud
Wheelers and dealers
Big money appealers
You can win, well, you think you could
All for the game of five-card stud
Greed – 12th October 1986
Your fucking greed
Makes me fucking sick
You fucking want everything
Fucking quick
I fucking hate you
You greedy shit
Fucking stay
In your fucking pit
Sit – 11th October 1986
Sit
Good dog
Biscuit
Heel
Good dog
Don’t squeal
Obey
Good dog
Now on your way
Bite
Bad dog
Right
You’ve had it

The Drummer – 10th October 1986
The drummer beats
To marching feet
Keeps you in time
Keeps you in line
The drummer drums
A bombshell comes
Whistle on alone
Fall from your throne
Leaves – 9th October 1986
Autumn comes
Leaves fall from the trees
Brown and crinkled
Turn another leaf, please
Tranquil – 8th October 1986
Everything dead
Inside your head
There’s no sound
You’re underground
You’re undersized
You’ve been tranquilised
You had your fill
You remain tranquil
Push Button – 7th October 1986
World of automation
Push button sensation
Life in your chair
Rotting without a care
Stagnant brain
Energy drained
Head explodes
As you touch the cathode
The last button that you press
Will put you to rest
Will He? – 6th October 1986
Will he?
Will he?
Will he?
Will he?
Remember me
In his will
He, will he?
Will he?
Will he?
