Really don't mind if you sit this one out.
My words but a whisper -- your deafness a shout.
I may make you feel but I can't make you think.
Your sperm's in the gutter -- your love's in the sink.

So you ride yourselves over the fields and
You make all your animal deals and
Your wise men don't know how it feels
to be thick as a brick.

And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away
in the tidal destruction, the moral melee.
The elastic retreat rings the close of play
as the last wave uncovers the newfangled way.

But your new shoes are worn at the heels and
Your suntan does rapidly peel and
Your wise men don't know how it feels
to be thick as a brick.

And the love that I feel
is so far away:
I'm a bad dream that I just had today --
and you shake your head
and say it's a shame.

Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth.
Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth.
Spin me down the long ages: let them sing the song.

See there! A son is born -- and we pronounce him fit to fight.
There are black-heads on his shoulders, and he pees himself in the night.
We'll make a man of him put him to trade
Teach him to play monopoly and how to sing in the rain.

The poet and the painter casting shadows on the water --
As the sun plays on the infantry returning from the sea.
The doer and the thinker: no allowance for the other --
As the failing light illuminates the mercenary's creed.
The home fire burning: the kettle almost boiling --
But the master of the house is far away.
The horses stamping -- their warm breath clouding
In the sharp and frosty morning of the day.

And the poet lifts his pen while the soldier sheaths his sword.

And the youngest of the family is moving with authority.
Building castles by the sea, he dares the tardy tide to wash them all aside.

The cattle quietly grazing at the grass down by the river
Where the swelling mountain water moves onward to the sea:
The builder of the castles renews the age-old purpose
And contemplates the milking girl whose offer is his need.
The young men of the household have
All gone into service
And are not to be expected for a year.
The innocent young master -- thoughts moving ever faster --
Has formed the plan to change the man he seems.

And the poet sheaths his pen while the soldier lifts his sword.

And the oldest of the family is moving with authority.
Coming from across the sea, he challenges the son who puts him to the run.

What do you do when
The old man's gone -- do you want to be him?
And your real self sings the song.
Do you want to free him?
No one to help you get up steam --
And the whirlpool turns you 'way off-beam.



I've come down from the upper class to mend your rotten ways.
My father was a man-of-power whom everyone obeyed.
So come on all you criminals!
I've got to put you straight just like I did with my old man --
Twenty years too late.
Your bread and water's going cold.
Your hair is too short and neat.
I'll judge you all and make damn sure that no-one judges me.

You curl your toes in fun as you smile at everyone --
You meet the stares, you're unaware that your doings aren't done.
And you laugh most ruthlessly as you tell us what not to be.
But how are we supposed to see where we should run?



I see you shuffle in the courtroom with
Your rings upon your fingers and
Your downy little sidies and
Your silver-buckle shoes.
Playing at the hard case, you follow the example
of the comic-paper idol
Who lets you bend the rules.

So! Come on ye childhood heroes!
Wont you rise up from the pages
Of your comic-books your super crooks
And show us all the way.
Well! Make your will and testament.
Wont you? Join your local government.
We'll have Superman for president
Let Robin save the day.

You put your bet on number one and it comes up every time.
The other kids have all backed down and they put you first in line.
And so you finally ask yourself just how big you are --
And take your place in a wiser world of bigger motor cars.
And you wonder who to call on.

So! Where the hell was Biggles when you needed him last Saturday?
And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you though?
They're all resting down in Cornwall -- Writing up their memoirs
For a paperback edition of the Boy Scout manual.



See there! A man is born -- and we pronounce him fit for peace.
There's a load lifted from his shoulders with the discovery of his disease.
We'll take the child from him put it to the test
Teach it to be a wise man how to fool the rest.



(We will be geared to the average rather than the exceptional
God is an overwhelming responsibility
We walked through the maternity ward and saw 218 babies wearing nylons
Cats are on the upgrade
Upgrade? Hipgrave. Oh, mac.)



In the clear white circles of morning wonder,
I take my place with the lord of the hills.
And the blue-eyed soldiers stand slightly discoloured
(in neat little rows) sporting canvas frills.

With their jock-straps pinching, they slouch to attention,
While queueing for sarnies at the office canteen.
Saying -- how's your granny and Good old Ernie:
He coughed up a tenner on a premium bond win.



The legends (worded in the ancient tribal hymn) lie cradled
In the seagull's call.
And all the promises they made are ground beneath the sadist's fall.



The poet and the wise man stand behind the gun,
And signal for the crack of dawn.
Light the sun.

Do you believe in the day? Do you?
Believe in the day! The dawn creation of the kings has begun.
Soft Venus (lonely maiden) brings the ageless one.
Do you believe in the day?
The fading hero has returned to the night -- and fully pregnant with the day,
Wise men endorse the poet's sight.

Do you believe in the day? Do you? Believe in the day!



Let me tell you the tales of your life
Of your love and the cut of the knife
The tireless oppression
The wisdom instilled
The desire to kill or be killed.
Let me sing of the losers who lie in the street as the last bus goes by.
The pavements are empty: the gutters run red -- while the fool
Toasts his God in the sky.

So! Come all ye young men who are building castles! Kindly state the time of the year
And join your voices in a hellish chorus. Mark the precise nature of your fear.

Let me help you pick up your dead as the sins of the father are fed
With the blood of the fools and
The thoughts of the wise and
From the pan under your bed.
Let me make you a present of song as
The wise man breaks wind and is gone
While the fool with the hour-glass is cooking his goose and
The nursery rhyme winds along.

So! Come all ye young men who are building castles! Kindly state the time of the year
And join your voices in a hellish chorus. Mark the precise nature of your fear.
See! The summer lightning casts its bolts upon you and the hour of judgement draweth near.
Would you be the fool stood in his suit of armour or the wiser man who rushes clear.

So! Come on ye childhood heroes!
Wont you rise up from the pages
Of your comic-books your super crooks
And show us all the way.
Well! Make your will and testament.
Wont you? Join your local government.
We'll have Superman for president
Let Robin save the day.

So! Where the hell was Biggles when you needed him last Saturday?
And where were all the sportsmen who always pulled you though?
They're all resting down in Cornwall -- Writing up their memoirs
For a paperback edition of the Boy Scout manual.



So you ride yourselves over the fields and
You make all your animal deals and
Your wise men don't know how it feels
to be thick as a brick.
It's your turn in Cthulhu Wars
It's your turn in Squirrel Wars
It's your turn in Demon Wars
It's your turn in Wall Street Wars

I thought this was about the day after Donald Trump was elected

"California Halo Blue"

Don't wanna talk about it
So I think I'll sing it with you
I thought I had until the morning
And I'd know what to do
And she said

"I packed the car and grabbed the dogs
And packed up plenty of food
Don't worry
And grabbed your journals, packed your soul
And grabbed your favorite shoes"

California halo blue
California, hang on through
California halo blue
California, hang on through

I couldn't walk, I couldn't talk
You know I couldn't sit down
All I could do was wait around
And pray for my hometown
Remember

Ninth of November, don't forget
About the trees and the birds
And their families
Humanity, now I can see
The Devil's hold on this world

California halo blue
California, hang on through
California halo blue
California, hang on through

Remember, remember the ninth of November
Remember, remember the ninth of November
Remember, remember the ninth of November, ah

California halo blue
California, hang on through
California halo blue
California, hang on through

Oh, halo blue
Yeah, hang on through
Oh, halo blue
Yeah, hang on through
wow, [you]. that all sounds terrible. i hope it gets better for you

A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them
And now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, till I was in the darkness
So darkness I became

I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
Outside the Seven-Eleven store
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
And he rides with me from town to town
We only run for the money got no strings attached
We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down

Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat
Summer's here and the time is right
For racing in the street
It's your turn in Cthulhu Wars
It's your turn in Squirrel Wars
It's your turn in Demon Wars
It's your turn in Wall Street Wars

The world is neither fair nor unfair
The idea is just a way for us to understand
But the world is neither fair nor unfair
So one survives
The others die
And you always want a reason why
It's your turn in Cthulhu Wars
It's your turn in Squirrel Wars
It's your turn in Demon Wars
It's your turn in Wall Street Wars

you've got your lover wondering why~

Hello one more time
Uh... I know I just sent you a bunch of these
I just wanted to... thank you... again
For being a friend... yesterday
And helping me... out and talking with me
About... my life
Bye
