"A lot has happened since we last met... Well well well...Welcome to Hell We’ve been busy...We ain’t skived The golden future has arrived Don’t complain...Don’t be sad-sacks We’re all lke, living like, Mad Max I’m gonna get a machete and beers ‘Cos prison’s rather fun for the first five years Don’t quote me Marx, I’ve already read it I bought it with me Universal Credit I’m just getting what I is owed I’m The biggest drug dealer in the post code Creative Looting in Times of Austerity Creative Looting in Times of Austerity Creative Looting in Times of Austerity Creative Looting in Times of Austerity Clothes...roadkill silks and cottons were strewn West along the shimmering tarmac and the flower headed that way, snatching these things up with hot little whoops that rose sharply from her, and hopping from one foot to the other, assigning the articles gathered there to the battered brown suitcase that she’d produced from a roadside greasewood bush. She sat down on the battered suitcase, drew a palm across her face and looked back down the road toward the upturned car. There was blood in her mouth and she wandered the pulpy gaps there...tongued the shards of unfamiliar teeth. She studied the car, and it looked like a beetle on its back. Doors, like dead wings, the front wheels pigeon-toed, glass, diamonding the sand. Nothing stirred there but an occasional shadow... Creative Looting?...Put the boot in Creative Looting in Times of Austerity Creative Looting in Times of Austerity Creative Looting in Times of Austerity Creative Looting in Times of Austerity If I shank someone on a double decker It don’t trouble the Chancellor of the Exchequer I’ve got the front...I’ve got the blarney Bye-bye Steptoe and Reg Varney It’s war war war kids...There ain’t no end Everyone’s gone round the bend See the footage, the film we’re caught on You can’t see that from Chipping Norton Creative Looting...Put the boot in Creative Looting...Put the boot in"

"I watch you from afar You see me now My love, it is a coast And you are my island We were born for each other I want to touch your heart Really, really...touch your heart I close my eyes, but I can still see you Never leave me Not even for one second Your beauty fills me with poison Your perfection makes me cry Don't let me think straight Don't need to ask you why My body is made from flames Our Love is like a Sun We will be one We will be one Your breath is a drug I am an addict Nobody else deserves you Only me I'll give you everything I have But I want everything in return I hold your hand My nails pierce your skin I kiss your neck I can't grant you air I bite you like a cherry Blood runs down your cheek I'm not in control Not in control What have I become? I dream of the day I can baptize you I dream of the day I can throw dust on you Want to hold your heart Want to set you on fire I want to watch you lay down for me I want to watch you lay down for me Forever I want to watch you lay down for me I want to watch you lay down for me Forever I'll be with you whatever I'll be with you whatever I'll be with you whatever I'll be with you whatever Skipping..."

"Let me ruin your life... Cruising supermarkets in the poor part of town Neon lit meat...oh, I get around Paranoia, Peppers and Milk I piss into bottles just like Howard Hughes Read "A Clockwork Orange" to get my daily news Paranoia, Peppers and Milk Don't you know who I am? Don't you want me to change your life then? You probably don't recognise me because of my shades Telescope points at Central Park Off nightclubbing in our Crowley masks Paranoia, Peppers and Milk Absinthe with the ghost of Brian Jones Munch a mountain of snow just to calm my bones Paranoia, Peppers and Milk Don't you know who I am? Don't you want me to change your life then? You probably don't recognise me because of my shades But don't be shy... Lack of calcium has begun to rot my teeth I'm Frankenstein... I'm Nosferatu... Oh, and did you know? Half the DNA on the New York City subway matches no known organism Let me ruin your life... Go on...It'll be fun The eyes of Earth are on me and I haven't got a care I summon up spirits just by waving in the air Paranoia, Peppers and Milk"

Ping-pong at Three Gardens It's "Love All" Shapeshifter House, protected from the rays Black Heaven, there's no Night or Day Ash rains from the sky in Los Alamos Welcome to the Sahara Wax Museum My Geiger-counter going loco... Trinity, where sand turns to glass Glide across the Cactus Dome Crossing London Bridge in Arizona Southwark echoes round the Canyon Shakespeare's Globe fills the Desert basin Opening night.

"Tall Sunflowers. Sweet Strawberries Her garden, workshop, theatre Kocham cię Do widzenia Sunday best at Christmas and Easter A call home to Mamo every night Beautiful necklaces for everyone So much love and care for everyone Kocham cię Do widzenia The truth will never be found All that's left are photographs But her face is in every face Her voice is in every voice Left an old life behind now Must hope for the best But first, a dream..."

"Her waves calling Morgan Le Fay, enchanting Lured by visions of floating islands In absolute zero Only dead air, but someone's out there... A signal from the farthest point Transmits the isolation Transmits the isolation Watching over the silver ocean No sight of any keeper But there's visions, Imperial Decline... All of a sudden the sea went....Boom It's getting late now Love in an era of peacetime But rarely any sunshine We need the luck and power of alchemy Laying there in half-light Silhouette in moonshine A body fails, it isn't mine But we're too broke to stop to let it be One scientist follows another Battles to recover A life that's in emergency I don't want what's left, so genuinely From the high tower, she looked over the dark water It was vast and powerful Every tiny light was someone's life, like small stars in the Sea She saw her friends, and the new lives they'd brought into the world She smiled proudly Her hopes and dreams were all still there, even if she wasn't Some of them still wore the jewels she'd made for them If only she could leave this place and get supplies... She could make more... ...and leave them in their gardens at night as presents When she caught sight of her loved ones, She was curious as to why they were getting older... ...but why she remained the same Oh, and she needed a clock... She had absolutely no idea of what time it was, or what day... Or even what year At her station, she watches all Her hand is on my shoulder She'll guide my path. Soon we'll meet again She's a beacon. Her love is life I can see her in the Moon I'll kiss her fingers, when we meet again She'll never leave me. She's with me now She brings the ships home safely I'll bring her flowers, when we meet again No more needles. No more blood So sad I couldn't hold her hand But I'll keep her safe this time, when we meet again"

"We met on the airwaves It wasn't our scene...We didn't like to go there A treat of exotic sound Radio at my ear, just be there with her Driving around and around Small talk and coffee couldn't stop gravitation She left me at the side of the road... But she's been looking out for me, since forever Sun from your eyes, I feel that buzz, c'mon Warm heart of gold, I need your buzz, c'mon We met on the airwaves I have to be on my very best behaviour Saw the artful and the famous up at the South Bank Afternoon tea at the house of Vaughan-Williams Always introducing me to something new My tiny legs dance up on Wimbledon Common I want her to love Music again Because she makes damn sure that I never go hungry Your smile, divine, I see the buzz, c'mon Sun from your eyes, I feel that buzz, c'mon Dreams of your Love, I sense the buzz, c'mon Warm heart of gold, I need your buzz, c'mon It isn't always easy, there's ups and downs But one fine day we'll be on that train I like the buzz. I love that buzz, c'mon I like the buzz. I love that buzz, c'mon I like the buzz. I love that buzz, c'mon I like the buzz. I love that buzz, c'mon I like the buzz. I love that buzz, c'mon I like the buzz. I love that buzz, c'mon I like the buzz. I love that buzz, c'mon I like the buzz. I love that buzz, c'mon"

Black noise Shatter ribs. In 4/4 time Pinch your heart with Heavy Metal Searching for that apomorphine cure Meet the Wives of Big Brother Reality is really not all it's cracked up to be But that's not important now... ...I can feel sweet vibrations in my pocket I've got a Front Row Seat To The Inside Of Everybody's Head I've got a Front Row Seat To The Inside Of Everybody's Head I've got a Front Row Seat To The Inside Of Everybody's Head I've got a Front Row Seat To The Inside Of Everybody's Head Well... Thank you God... ...for a world where nobody is allowed to mind their own business Can you feel my power? I can change your world in just 280 characters... And yours...And yours...And yours... You can't escape me. My trivia in your face like a Porn star's load I don't need to call the Police...I AM the Police... I am the judge and I am the jury. I AM one of the brave...One of the good. And...I love animals... You're A Sheep...You're A Terrorist...You're literally Hitler Put your tablets down All hail The Great Filter! Join Us..."
