Well,
I've come to terms with coming to terms,
terms and conditions apply.

Please wait in line,
the firing squad is experiencing delays

and we'd all like to delay
but the inevitable is generally the rule.

Making breakfast
enough to last
until supper,

not the last supper, I pray,
that's already been done to death.

Mesmorised
then demoralised
when
She closes her eyes.

The weekend arrives
but not for me,
I'm working, see,
but I can't see why,

it's never the other guy
who draws the short straw
it's always me
and I can't see why.

She says
stop whining
the sun's shining
Summer is almost here

aha
She's opened her eyes and
now I can see her,

Finally.
I cry into the coffee cup
the coffee's gone
I drunk it up
and so
to drink the milk of
human kindness
is a kindness in itself.

You are special
and that's official.

before five-thirty
finding a shirt he
dresses up well

and it's Thursday
a good hair day
something he'll say
when he's bored.

Summer feels colder
older than it was when
I was a lad.

and he's waiting
for the turning
which he knows
will take him home.

Trying to blend in
but that task is
unending

standing out from the crowd
is allowed.

I'm standing outside
which is also allowed,
but not advisable when
the weather is miserable.

By-Election
promises
pass me by

I
never believe them men
who'll write those
instead of them.

They will pull the strings
that make you dance.

Anyway
it's Tuesday
not that it makes a difference
after all
it's not Christmas day
is it?

So
Kellogg's cornflakes
or a boiled egg?
kedgeree is off the menu,
the butler has the day free
and now
it's down to me
to decide.

Yep
been in there and out there
been almost where I should have gone
ah
some things are not meant to be
like me for instance.

Worked to death
and taxed to death
these shysters
don't give you the time
to draw a breath

oh
but they'll sit on their leather seats
giving a show
and I think we all know
that it'll never make the ratings.

*** them parliamentarians.

Bank Holiday Funday
but not when you work in
hospitality
or even in hospitals

as I said to Rik
on many occasions
it's all a load of
**** management
with no
imagination.

or something like that.
