“Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But, since no one was listening, everything must be said again.” – Andre Gide
Tracy is lovely
But demonic in her lust
She has lost all my hope
Cos of her chronic trust
7th May 2023 – I don’t remember who this Tracy was but I was obviously upset about her sexual aggressiveness that made her less attractive to me. And, of course, all this could’ve been just in my head.
This is Toytown where Noddy lives
And Big Ears is a Jehovah’s Witness
People wear hats with bells
Land of lobotomy brain cells
Feeling really mad
But you’re not insane
You drive yourself madder
Til you lose your brain
Think again about going mad
The end result could be bad
You don’t intend to lose your brain
But in the end, you go insane
It’s a sporting life supporting life
For the pregnant mums on the ward
All the hard work that has to follow
I think debut mums should be warned
5th May 2023 – Not sure what prompted this empathetic little ode. I definitely wasn’t speaking from any experience.
In and out lifestyle, it becomes a bore
It’s boring doing the same things, I won’t anymore
In and out, repeat, repeat, clock the card
In and out, clocked in, trying too hard
5th May 2023 – Despite never having worked a day in my life I already was aware of the realities of the rat race. I’ve spent many years clocking in and out since then and admittedly, I do still hate that.
You gotta have brains to make the exam
If you don’t you’re not a man
I decided I didn’t want to try
But you can’t tell the teachers
They just ask why
5th May 2023 – At this time I would’ve been preparing to do trial exams before the real ones next year. I seem to be equating intelligence with manliness.
It was your fault all along
I laughed when you got it wrong
You were caught in the wrong place
So don’t blame me cos I’ll spit in your face
2nd May 2023 – Hello, contrarian. Psychologists – analyse!
I wanna be nice, I wanna be a friend
Instead of driving someone round the bend
I don’t care if people don’t defend me
I don’t care, I don’t wanna be trendy
2nd May 2023 – Teenage statement of intent.
Let’s all go to the big, big city
With dust and scum, all things pretty
We’ll get a jet and pollute the air
Cos in New York they just don’t care
1st May 2023 – Not sure what I had against New York at the time. I think it was just an example of a city to use and had been used by the Sex Pistols as a song too.
Still living in the countryside I knew that cities were where things were happening and I felt desperately that I wanted to experience it. At the same time, I also knew that the countryside had very few eyes to discover the shenanigans of us bored teenagers.
In the next couple of years, I started to go to London infrequently for gigs and record shopping and always returned home blowing out chunks of black snot.
When I finally did end up in a big city, Sydney, it was the perfect balance between urban and rural. I still feel very lucky to have had that opportunity.
