about

Lying in a short bed, wearing a badge,
speaking to an exec: ‘Yours is really great.’
I heard you singing in the shower
this morning, and a boat
on the water, and a tissue,
you were singing - Abba -
in the – shower - rubbing yourself.
Then you went to Glasgow on a train.
You put your bike onto the train,
you were going to be

filmed as an extra in a film;
i’m looking for the best shoes for my knees,
and then i’m going to go to Glasgow.

Choo choo.

Chuffing bored, mate, and my neck aches /
resignation and drift. Are you recording?

I heard you singing in the shower again, this time
it was the Carpenters / I think it was, I don’t know any Carpenters songs. And you got a Carol King CD,
you bought from Our Price years ago, it’s still
got the sticker on it; ‘hey man, we should do some co-writes.’

Sitting round in a room, saying, ‘i’ve got this verse,
you’ve got that chorus.’ Great, let’s go for a smoke in the garden.

There’s a delicious feeling being tired of drink
and really something magic in it. The next day:
a boy dragging his feet, ‘Come on, it’s raining.’
I think he is aware of it. ‘Come on, it’s raining.’
‘No, Mam, but look.’

You’re lifted, as you’re lowered down into its
ease and relief - wondering about it.

Can you admit that he is me, and me is
what they have had to put up with
for years. It’s exhausting.

All the gold is so gold it’s yellow.
You can sit and nod and watch.
Gets dark as we drive down to Callais.
(If you want to mythologize yourself, well, that’s fine.)
Wet on the glass and I am happy.
A little boy kicking in a cold fountain.
It’s all blag – the night is boring.
It’s all blag – the night is boring.
It’s all what you think of it.
Walking - the streets -
at night - is boring.
(Is a lyric I nicked off Justin.)
All your carrier bags in the air.
If you need me, give us a buzz.
And the Wild Bunch.
It’s all blag, all your words go over there.
I think Steve McQueen is a shit cowboy.
My Dad likes him. I think he’s not good.

And the old men who sit in the
park, and there’s a pond there,
you can see quite far away
they’ve got these two little sail boats
and they’re sat talking,
and i’d tell you what they were saying,
but that’d be a bit rude, wouldn’t it, really.

Must watch but not follow / it’s important.
