Did you hear
haven't heard
How I felt
Howd you feel
They want me out
It's absurd
What occurred
Left me on
On the air
Afterwords for an hour
BBC said give them hope now they've given me the rope to go hang myself
Children trapped in family cars radio rocks out of the shelf they wonder what comes next
Now i've only got five seconds and I don't want them to check and find out what I've said
Nervous boss comes wondering in says theres only one way out and it isn't great
F-O-R-M-A-L-A-P-O
L-O-G-Y-F-R-O-M-U
Now I sit here in a cell and you're probably wondering how and what it is I came to say
I simply told them I was tired everything had been a lie they could all go to hell

The laptops still playing my favourite song
Looks nice but not for me
Looks nice but not for me
I've got a machine that does exactly what I want it to say
Theres the proof
Whats gonna happen when I go away
I think it's going to go on
Forever
Cus you never know
Just when you're gonna go
And how long
The machine will keep on going
Entertainment Last five light years long
Looks nice but not for me
The edges are sharp and the nights are long
Looks nice but not for me
I haven't been back here for very long
Looks nice but not for me

Train Song

4 kids sat across the carriage
On two seats
I WAS TOO COLD
to feel the heat
Their eyes one me
BRILLO PAD BEARDS
And daz white trainers
The tallest shouted at his girlfriend
OVER THE PHONE
They pick flesh off bones
Folding money from old folks homes
TO MEET
At this time on this train
Told me someone would die
Here comes the conductor
Thank god
They approached me
Someone smelled what smells in my hold all bag
TWO PLAINCLOTHES
Police at the station
Were waiting for me to meet them
They searched me top to bottom for the next half hour
SEIZED 8 GRAMS OF WEED
Without charge
I got off
With a slap on the wrist
But I'll never forgive
THOSE BASTARD KIDS

I am no fun to talk to
When I am mortal
Which is often
Even before night falls
I used to run at 18 then my knees burst
I was 2 feet short of
A marathon
My name is sexy dexy and I'm looking for a wife
In Musselburgh
The moon is so high and shining
And crying like a baby
Softly to me
Ah get up every day at 5
Ah drink ten tinnies every night
Then I get back up at 5
Ah drink ten tinnies every night
And smoke 2 grams a day
And then ah get back up at 5
And dae it all again

They
Call me
A
Junker
Cus
Ahm
Out of
It
All
Of
The
Time
Ahm
As sick
As Ah
Can
Be
From you neighbour, to your cousin
Rows of graves, by the dozen
So long ago, but up close
They all died by overdose
In their 20s, every version
Of events
They're all dead
And the best, we could have had
Tins of Tennants, line the land

You won't believe the things I see
When light comes tumbling towards me
Alone in dark
I make my mark
Today they throw
Me out I'm back
Folk now crawl
On four rubber hands
I say hi
They don't stop they have plans

You told me
You brought him
To this house
All hell broke loose
I tell you
Cus last time
You shouldn't be surprised
What did he do
The light shade is snapped off
Three holes in
The door and
Gouges in the hall
Everyone gets just one chance
To make a mess
Disintegrate
But that's
The 5th time
And now we'll have to cut him loose
He'll have to go look after himself
I'm fucking
Sick of cunts
Thinking that
I am a mess
I've got ayer
9 million
Pals in on
The internet
I dinnae
Need they cunts
Rip the pish
They've nae right
FUCKING KILL THEM AW
Fucks sake I just need one chance
To make amends
Gies a text
But nae cunts gonnae phone me
But now it's time to cut them loose
They'll just need to look after themselves
What makes someone drink twenty tins
Where are they now no seen them since

ASDA Walmart headlights creates the dirt on our windscreen
We done U turns in the services
Then we settled down in an unbranded hotel
If you haven't heard we're looking to leave
Series on serial killers, mortages and kids
24 year old raves poured out a cranial sieve
I tried six days but now I quit
If you haven't heard we're looking to leave
We run on empty
Here comes the half shut knife
His brain can't even breath let alone survive
The mist follows the haar
And dead trees caress the car
If you haven't heard we're looking to leave

The End of Music

Because we've just reached the crucial point you remember I spoke of the mind having to go through a series of decision making steps when confronted by a semantic incongruity first seeking justification and then either rejecting it or accepting on a poetic level well add to that a whole other series of steps these very ones we’ve been describing namely the finding of an X factor to which A and B can both relate my dog is your dog because they’re both brown but that can’t be says the mind but I see it can be in a poetic sense that’s the process now all of that complex mental process takes place in a millisecond a flash of time such is the wonder of our cerebral computer but the moment we come to deal with musical metaphor even that millisecond is eliminated because we don’t have to deal with the problems of A and B being incompatible and why not because the A’s and B’s of music are not burden by literal semantic weight like my dog or your dog or Juliet if this is A and this is B we instantly perceive the musical transformation with no time or effort needed to explain that relationship in terms of semantic meaning the only time required is the time it takes to play it in fact when you think of the number of transformations taking place in the space of those few bars of
You see but in addition to that B is a metaphor of A through the comparative transformation of A which is transformed by lowering it one degree of the scale
A dominant and the B progression is dominant tonic a beautiful parallelism and a shining case of this is that
