L.R.O 02:02
When you’re battered, all alone Don’t be sad face, or use your mobile phone There’s a person, with a plan Big round oval He loves Birmingham So much blubber My poor floor So confusing Curry and Carte D’or It’s his purpose He’s your man Big Round Object
3.
Numbers 02:16
A young man without a clue Of what he wants from life Meets a girl and asks her, “what’s your name?” Well they sure made a pretty pair, and boy he loved her so But his dumb eyes just couldn’t help but rove It seems as if his number’s up for sure He’s no-one to call sweetheart anymore He roams the night, walks the street One on either arm Not a glance as they walk out the door Ten thousand nights, a million bars Still he waits for her The one that he will love forevermore Well it seems as if his number’s up for sure Spent too long thinking, too long drinking Too long lying on the floor He’s no-one to call sweetheart anymore
4.
Oh, 05:53
Of all the ironies, and vagaries about One confounds more than most A tale of faff, and complexity Obfuscated by my lungs One day you woke Your fluffy friend has gone Tragedy of tragedies Streetlit boulevards Persian philosophies Anything you lose comes round, in another form In another form Oh Doggie How was I supposed to know? A mellifluous bark But you’re sad You’ve lost your blue bow A long time has passed Since you mugged each other off Time is a pastiche of itself No forgiveness People just have shit memories Anything you lose comes round, in another form In another form But oh, Doggie How was I supposed to know? A mellifluous bark, but you’re sad You’ve lost your blue bow

Doggie 05:35

I thought I had killed that man Far too much crémant, acting like a fucking twat In front of another, person I like most Massacring friendships, what a joke I thought I was over that 48 tequilas, deeply upsetting some dads It shouldn’t be funny, starting fights with that dickhead from Keane That chick’s night joined the litany I’ll hole up with a girl, or three Shut all the curtains, smoke everything we see Redolence, persplectives The outside’s a myth Beautiful vessels will be missed
7.
Leaving my concerns in WKD cocktails I’ll miss the way the little redhead girl did her nails I see few downsides to being a cat Oh great Ganesha, reincarnate me as a cat Forth-nine hours since my head came down from in the sky Concepts like shapes and colours start to return to my mind I seem to have regained the power of speech Quite confusing, thought that would take at least a week Doyennes and smoke, pointlessness and eulogies You’re like Chipsticks, my favourite debauchee A sense of smell that’s a sight to behold I often miss you in a funny sort of way Especially when I wear your clothes, or eat your favourite cigarettes But if you want me I’ll be back before you can say Dave
