they readied themselves for action
clad their eyes with filters
set a steely gaze past dark horizons to the dawn
they pulled themselves together
alone or with their lovers
under palisades and spearheads it all started to make sense
but you forgot to ask the questions
just joined in with the dancing
righteousness assumed by association
there’s no difference
except maybe your footwear
you callously pour scorn on what’s passionately felt
now I can’t stop what you’ve become
because I’ve gone fucking soft

Gentleman

gentlemen’s incision
assert your point of view
points of view become reality
no moral truth or cause and effect
you made the headlines
you wrote them the day before
about who caught the big one this time
remove the head mount it on the wall
the benefit of privilege
you’re easy with control
and I feel so numb these days
gentlemen’s persuasion
pop a cork for the old boy’s firm
break her fingers and pull her hair
it’s all banter it’s good clean fun
you made the headlines
you wrote them the day before
about who shot the big one this time
chop off her head mount it on the wall
an empty glass rests in your palm
fluid slowly staining the sheets
watch the dawn rising from
the wrong end of the day
someone comes to clean up the mess
there’s always someone
to clean up your mess

the standard stuff
the same again
same thing every day
three for two
same nuts and prunes
same bags of nuts and prunes
for the lunch break I take
I go down the sandwich place
I get the same thing from the same girl
because I like it best that way
let's see how many of us can still count
three for two three for two
same nuts and prunes
same bags of nuts and prunes
same market share
Rob comes in
area manager by the age of 27
drives the Vauxhall company car
blonde highlights
taught me about targets and the POS
she knows what I want
same again
same thing every day
same again

Shuttlebus

the afternoon crumbled
to small granite blocks
automated relinquishing of duty
we will touch down
from skies of petty gain
and small enjoyment
I took the shuttlebus
onto the tarmac
and watched as the morning
burst overhead
we stayed in the hangar
as he came into land
we saw his jets explode
as he flew over terraces and towers
we took bets on his life
