Scratchcard Lanyard

Many years have passed but you’re still charming
Rows falling and exploding
You can’t save the world on your own I guess
Don’t send me it, you keep it
You keep it, you keep it
Weak arms can’t open the door, kung fu cancel
It’ll be ok I just need to be weird and hide for a bit and eat an old sandwich from my bag
I’ve come here to make a ceramic shoe and I’ve come to smash what you made
I’ve come to learn how to mingle
I’ve come to learn how to dance
I’ve come to join the knitting circle
I’ve come to hand weave my own bunk bed ladder in a few short sessions
It’s a Tokyo bouncy ball
It’s an Oslo bouncy ball
It’s a Rio de Janeiro bouncy ball filter!
I love these Mighty Oaks, don’t you?
Do everything and feel nothing
Wristband theme park
Scratchcard lanyard
Do everything and feel nothing
Do everything and feel nothing
Pat Dad on the head
Alright you big loud mouth
And thanks very much for the Twix
I think of myself as a hardy banana with that waxy surface and the small delicate flowers
A woman in aviators firing a bazooka
A woman in aviators firing a bazooka
I’ve come here to make a ceramic shoe and I’ve come to smash what you made
I’ve come to learn how to mingle
I’ve come to learn how to dance
I’ve come to join the knitting circle
That’s just child chat!
Why don’t you want oven chips now?
It’s a Tokyo bouncy ball
It’s an Oslo bouncy ball
It’s a Rio de Janeiro bouncy ball filter!
I love these Mighty Oaks, don’t you?
Do everything and feel nothing
Wristband theme park
Scratchcard lanyard
Do everything and feel nothing
Do everything and feel nothing
You seem really together
You’ve got a new coat, new hair
Well I tell you one thing, you’ve got it coming
One day you’re gonna get it

Don’t cry just drive
Good luck band
What’ve you been doing?
Yeah
Fat podgy
Non make-up
Unsmart lady
Call Ronny
What’ve you been up to?
Cool
Yeah
Fat podgy
Non make-up
Unsmart lady
If you like a girl, be nice
It’s not rocket science
A tanned foot squeezed hopefully into a short boot
A Kerry Bog Pony
High fever
Hair remover
Hair remover
High fever
Hair remover
Don’t cry just drive
Good luck band
What’ve been doing?
Yeah
Fat podgy
Non make-up

Strong Feelings

Just an emo dead stuff collector
Things come to the brain
Let’s look at the geophys
Let’s wait for the results from the geophys
Just an emo dead stuff collector
Things come to the brain
I spent £17 on mushrooms for you
Because I’m silly
Just an emo dead stuff collector
Things come to the brain
This week is Holy Week
I just want to tell you I’ve got scabs on my head
It’s useless to live
I’ve been thinking about eating that hot dog for hours
Kiss me
Letting you only when we must
Whilst someone holds the door
Too much to ask about
So don’t ask
It’s useless to live
I just want to tell you I’ve got scabs on my head
It made me realise
My only ambition in life is to grip the roots of your hair
You just want to be liked
Tin glazed earthenware flower brick painted in blue
On the sloping edge, a vase of flowers
On the front, a Chinese landscape
On the sides, figures in a Dutch landscape
It’s Europe
It’s Europe
It’s Europe
It’s Europe
In the painting’s foreground, at the bottom, is a famous anamorphic which when viewed sidelong is revealed to be a human skull
That seems like a lot of garlic
Long and lean and young and lovely
You just want to be liked
I like you, stay
It’s Europe
Just an emo dead stuff collector
Things come to the brain
Too much to ask about
So don’t ask

It’s my playground
Black skirt, shoes and trainers
Shane has joined the chat
It was chucking it down when I stepped out, it’s not now
Come on then
Carl and Terry
Are there llama plushies here? In this shop?
She’s definitely in a league of her own
So just stream
Sick of that shit
All the while
An exhausting walk in the horrible countryside
A tiresome swim in a pointless bit of sea
Knackering drinks with close friends
Thanks a lot
Simple pimple
Stomach stab
What are the things that you have to clear out?
Baking powder
Big jar of mayonnaise
What about all the uneaten sausages?
Clean the fat out of the grill pan
This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do now
Trying not to think about all the memories
Remember when you had to take these pills, remember when you had to take these pills
Maybe I just need someone
Never talk about your ex, never, never, never, never, never slag them off because then they know, then they know
All the while
An exhausting walk in the horrible countryside
A tiresome swim
Knackering drinks
Thanks a lot
Simple pimple
Stomach stab

Her Hippo
04:38
|

The house is just twelve years old
Soft landscaping in the garden
An electrician stuck his finger in the plug hole and shouted “Yaba!”
Her Hippo
Every day he’s a dick
Strong one
No one
The man above
A name
A word
I get upset in the heat
I’m smiling constantly and people constantly step on me
His shadow looms around
A feeling of bees’ legs on my face
Safe inside a secret love
Let’s run
Anyway
Mystical Shakespeare shoes
A trapped person screaming
The last thing I looked at in this hand mirror was a human arsehole
Well, Helen’s situation has really put all that in the shade now
There he goes he doesn’t care
Mostly angry scrappy songs
And where does that romantic jealousy come from?
Te amo Manuel
Married then
Her Hippo
Every day he’s a dick
Strong one
Great one
The man above
A name
A word
I’m smiling constantly and people constantly step on me
I’d like to run away with you on a plane but don’t bring those loafers
That silly woman’s done a too-straight fringe
A baby’s appearance
More espresso less depresso
Solutions for damp since 1971
But I can rebuild
I’m a devious snake and I keep it in my wig room
Well
Well well well
Well well well
I’m inside the gate, it’s a tiny little area and it’s rammed, everything’s going great so far. Got my shorts on in preparation for the hot, these idiots in trousers, they don’t know what they’re doing. Feel like I wanna send you twenty texts. Let me know when you’re inside the plane.
I’m smiling constantly and people constantly step on me

New Long Leg
04:12
|

You are
No you are
Let me see your knees
Peas rolling
A useless long leg
Are you taking a photo or drinking a bottle of water?
You’re a spoon pal
You are
Doo doo doo don’t remember anyone, sorry
Doo doo doo I ask you
Sometimes like this
Sometimes like this
A useless long leg
Will there be a hairdryer in my state room or should I bring one?
What about shampoo?
Will we be able to have laundry done on the ship?
And what are the prices?
Are there some kind of reverse platforms, shoes that make you go into the ground more, make you reach a lower level?
Nevermind
Would you choose a dentist with a messy back garden like that?
I don’t think so
Doo doo doo don’t remember anyone
I ask you
Sometimes like this
Sometimes like this
A useless long leg
Sunburnt chin
A raw drawn-on eyebrow
You are
No you are
A useless long leg
You are
Doo doo doo don’t remember anyone, sorry
Doo doo doo I ask you
Sometimes like this
Sometimes like this
A useless long leg
This new bloody big problem
No more shared sundae
This absolutely huge fuck up

No that’s not true
Eyes drift to the TV
Mostly uncles and fathers
Mostly eating nuts, seeds and berries
What do you think your parents feel?
That nod that says, “I’ve seen things”
They’ve really changed the pace of The Antiques Roadshow
More antiques, more price reveals
Less background information
The reason the price reveals were so good was because we had to wait for them
Where these bin men at then?
I like your wardrobe but I never know if it’s ok to take the clothes
Hold on to your beehive
Mostly uncles and fathers
Mostly eating nuts, seeds and berries
What do you think your parents feels?
That nod that says, “I’ve seen things”
Someone pissed on my leg in the big Sainsbury’s
If you’re an Aries
Then I’m an Aries
Raincoat sweat
A poster
An Elmo costume
A young guy on a ski holiday
Naked muscly loner
A young guy on a ski holiday
A poster
An Elmo costume
What can I say?
A drawstring dog bag
A young guy on a ski holiday

Brain replaced by something
With only the side of my nose for company
These and those and them ones
What d’you call it
It’ll come to me
Brain replaced by something
With only the side of my nose for company
These and those and them ones
What d’you call it
The unnameable
It’ll come to me
Trapped inside a head
In control in the kitchen area
I run a tight ship
Spatula pot and crumb tray
A wipeable place
A greaseproof type of thing
Da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da da da ah
Da da da da da da da ah
Da da da da da da
Da da da da ah
Green food
Brown food
Brain replaced by something
These and those and them ones
A floating dumpling
Baggy eyes
I run a tight ship
Helicopter circling
Kalashnikov to look forward to
It’s a glam musical
Da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da da da ah
Da da da da da da da ah
Da da da da da da
Da da da da ah

A.L.C

You can’t just come into my garden in your football kit and start asking questions about who lives here
Who’s asking?
It’s a memory of a café
That you loved
But you didn’t have anyone to take there
They had a sushi counter and a counter that did pastries and mixed salads
In Hendon
I’m tall when I’m young
And I’m short when I’m old
I can’t change
A lonely job for £45 a day
A lonely job for £32 a day
Just take it
Things are changing
Time to shut up old actors
Time to fix old pants
Time to get fed up
Telephone call comes through the wall
A sunny day with a grey sky
A wonky parking job for cheap chocolate mousse
Things are changing
Things are changing
You
You foil beast!
You foil beast
You foil beast
Talk to me in the bath
‘ba dum’

Every Day Carry

It’s chocolate chip cookie
Crappy crazy pizzas
Your haircut’s changed
It’s every day carry
You’re a gift to me
Nice party ice
You’re an individual cream bun
It’s chocolate chip cookie
Crappy crazy pizzas
It’s all good though
Look at that
Looks like good quality earth
I’m just a conduit
Don’t look at me
I’m just the medium
Your haircut’s changed
For charity
Can you imagine the rent?
I want big pearl
A people person
These are the eyeholes
A banging pasta bake
Müller corner, onions, orchids
The smear test blues
Put a shawl on that mannequin mate
Can you imagine the rent?
I want big pearl
It’s a light emitting diode
It’s a long nail story
It’s a dead hand tree
Best friends forever
It’s everyday carry
It’s bad luck if you’re the tree left at the edge of the motorway when they clear the forest for a motorway, you lose your friends and you’re exposed. You used to be in the thick of it, everything you knew ripped away
Two fingers up to you, you wastrel, that’s my shopping trolley you’re approaching
Uninviting, just body bits
Your haircuts changed
You’re a gift to me
Nice party ice
You’re an individual cream bun
Look at that
Uninviting, just body bits
Your haircut’s changed
I don’t know how I feel he’s fit but I think he might be
Residual Pop Rocks in the mouth of your cab driver
Drop what you’re doing let’s get to the tip
Droopy flute solo comes in now
Galump lump
Huge white geese please us all
Major massive arsehole
All the children say
I’ve got enchanted eggs
My beautiful restaurant
Let’s go Jim
My beautiful restaurant
-
Now it seems like none of that meant anything
A sugared armpit
A roast potato on a long branch
More spice
Plans conceived in love
A Ferrari with a license plate that says T337H
Bambino
What a cruel heartless bastard you are
Welcome to hell
Keep up with it all, be nice, try to maintain high energy and don’t bring everyone down
In matching soft brown tank top
I just can’t creep comfortably anymore
Paper thin skin covers hands and hollow cheeks
Must I look at my belly in the mirror?
Must I belly in the mirror?
A thing in the past
Your own personal fatberg, homemade
I’m confused
Ready to cut loose
Sherlock Holmes Museum of break ups
Wait an hour for a pancake, make it larger, build it up
I don’t mind
I’m happy either way
I dunno
What’s the point
You actually smell like garbage
Every one of them looks a tit
I’m not gonna lie, it’s daunting choreography but I’m gonna bring it all the same
I just want to put something positive into the world but it’s hard because I’m so full of poisonous rage
It’s all well and good you saying that but I need more
Keep up with it all, be nice
I just can’t creep comfortably
Curtains always closed
