January 2020: Unstable Suicide

I wrote this on trams in Warszawa city, Poland. Except for 1440 Faro which I first wrote in 1997 but saved it until I actually visited Egypt in 2019.

1.1440 Faro

1440 Faro on the aeroplane
Went to Cairo
Didn’t see a drop of rain

1440 Faro on the aeroplane
Stole the words from Ceefax or Teletext

King of Pharoah standing on the aeroplane
Do you see though do you see though good

Islands Faroe sailing on a milkboat dream
Plastically McAuley showed us all the might in green

1440 Faro on the aeroplane
Portugalczyk owner of a matchbox car

1440 Faro on the aeroplane
Passenger seat aisle to sandwich parentic

2.She set the standard high

I have hung up my clothes
I did my own washing
I took a photo to prove it to you

I made myself lunch
A concocted salad
I added vinegar using a spoon

Ah but she set the world alight
She made your dreams tonight
She set the standard high
She set the standard high

I booked the train to Saturday street
Sesame seed burger bap bap Maria Belarus

Wooden Hinchcliff
Peter Shirtlift
Didn’t ring the bells of notre dame

Only on vodka
Demon a drink mole
I took more photos of juice

Ah but she set the world alight
She made your dreams tonight
She set the standard high
She set the standard high
She set the standard high
She set the standard high

Wooden Hinchcliff

3.Left Out For A Reason

Day off high school
Left out for a reason

4.Buy Your Shopping

Go to the supermarket and buy your shopping
You are a normal person in a normal boring town

Wake up in the morning and drink a cup of coffee
You are as dull as dulse on Holywood Bay

You’re so thick you ask a monk to buy your toothpaste
You’re so lazy you got a bot to do your shopping

By pressing a few buttons they brung ye a crate of Venezuelan bananas

5.What Number of Year?

In 1982 he’s doing alright
In 1964 he’s walking his dog
In 2009 he’s having a wank
In 1944 he’s burning a tank

In 1955 we’re staying alive
In 2017 sucking off a dream

6.Sing with Ariana

Open up your heart because you dreamt of Ariana
She made the sound of whispers on the moon
Cast your spell upon the curse of Ariana
She wouldn’t like to spoil you very soon

I want to sing with Ariana again.
I’ll never sing with Ariana again.

Clumber down the stairs and wink your eye at Ariana
She got a golden empty walking hum
Tell your friends that you dated Ariana
She made you think that you were in control

I want to sing with Ariana again.
I’ll never sing with Ariana again.

7.She Didn’t Waken Early Enough to Catch The Morning Sun

She didn’t waken early enough to catch the morning sun.
He walked around her looking so tough when the day had just begun

She didn’t even know how to cook a pizza in the oven.
He spoke of the days where he had mistook sadness for having fun.

8.Idea of a Present

I had the chance to change my life
I don’t mean swap, switch, shift it or alter
I came up with the plan to visit Georgia
I hope it will be the next big adventure

My idea of a present seems so warped it made you sexy
A bombscare in a town that loves bombscares

9.Riga’s Not In Barcelona

Riga’s not in Barcelona
Don’t Latvians speak Catalan

He sat down at the bar and poured his heart out onto me
I don’t know why I believed his former girlfriend
She sent a message to him as they had no WiFi
He could only read the bottled whiskey’s tin

Riga’s not in Barcelona
Don’t Latvians speak Catalan?
Kasia’s orange wrong she says “I love you”
I worked extremely hard to be this man

10.Four Person Banknote Scandal

He stole you stole
She forged you forged
Everything in your pocket when they checked was counterfeit

Money laundering scandal sounded like cash in a washing machine
He cleaned you cleaned

11.Avid News Watcher

Some idiot stands at the bar and tells everyone else what is happening in the world.
It is not that he is clever it is just that he is an avid news watcher.

And he knows sure he knows
Yeah he knows what’s going oh hon.

12.Tsuen Wan Loyal

Dancing dancing dolphin
Dancing dancing dolphin
Dancing dancing dolphin in the sea

Danson Danson parkhouse
Danson Danson parkhouse
Danson Danson parkhouse Sladey Green

Dancing dancing dolphin
Dancing dancing dolphin
Dancing dancing dolphin tai wat seen

13.Uncle Bake

We are goin till thon pake
To catch up with Uncle Bake
We are mixing a milkshake
To drink with Uncle Bake
We are frightening a cake
To scare off Uncle Bake
She bate ye with a rake
By the ghost of Uncle Bake

We are money on the make
To waste on Uncle Bake
We are naked in the lake
With the girl from Uncle Bake
We are mouth with a toothache
There’s a dental Uncle Bake
Your banknote is a fake
Call the printer, Uncle Bake
It’s the fisheries best hake
In the bake of Uncle Bake
At the Bar Finnegans Wake
An alcoholic Uncle Bake

Hattrick of legs for Jake
To compete with Uncle Bake
We all got pills to take
Like a drugged up Uncle Bake
Do it for the sake
For the sake of Uncle Bake
Mexico had an earthquake
Hugo Sanchez Uncle Bake
There’s nothing else at stake
Except to bet on Uncle Bake

The tree you thought was oak
Is a crimson Uncle Bake!
