They say that poetry is the new rock n roll.

Write about a rock star
write about his vices
write about his fall from grace
his mid life crisis
write about a rock star
dress him up in sequins
rock n roll ain't a world
in which Joe Meek wins

Yeah poetry is the new rock n roll
write another poem buddy go buddy go

Write about the cocaine
do a line of cocaine
talk about the cocaine
talk about the cocaine
talk abou... Oh buddy
push the needle on
and write about a rock star
sing it when you're done
sing it to a techno beat
badum badum badum

(guitar solo)

Yeah poetry is the new rock n roll
write another poem buddy go buddy go

Write about a rock star
fuck about with rhythm
rip your verses into strips
then mess about with em
write about beat writers
take it out on the road
sing about street fighters
and unpack your heavy load

Yeah poetry is the new rock n roll
write another poem buddy go buddy go
sing another poem buddy go buddy go
kill another poem buddy go buddy go

It's all write muse. I'm only dissin' my ho for attention.



Out of control


I spent the day yesterday having the longest lunch imaginable discussing Bono's role in Irish future heritage (there's a thought) and afterwards renewing old friendships, rebuilding bridges and extinguishing burning boats.
I did find time to write down (really on the back of an envelope) the chorus for a song:
Lying to me was the only honest thing she done
Lyings with me she aint doing now she's gone
After a night in watching romcoms
She went out to buy some condoms
Now it's 10 past 12 at the 7/11 of love
