the ancient symbol of
the ancient symbol of
the ancient symbol of
pigeon peckin' chicken bones
eunuch music! eunuch music!
he strides in from the office and says:
"there is nothing that can't be accomplished
(if you like) with a combo of this face & a butter-knife"
eunuch music.
eunuch music.
unique musique.

harness the power of the pyramid
in the job interview or the queue
for the soup kitchen.
harness the power of the pyramid
in the job interview or the queue for the soup kitchen.
i always felt slightly sick and nervous
every time i made an aspirational purchase.
he said
there's nothing funny about an emperor or slaves.
its like singing about how fast your hair is thinning
or writing about the lines on your face.
you said this is surreal.
i said this is as real as it gets.
a shopping list in heiroglyphs
good people under the sledgehammer.
so tilt your head and read my welcome mat, mate.
it says there's nothing funny about an emperor or his slaves.
i saw one thousand birthdays, bored.
awaiting delivery of a godless stick from luxor.
the whole experience left me very cross.
meet your new boss - king tutankahmun.
dines exclusively on millionaire's shortbread,
downs a pint of asses milk each night before bed.
he paid for the pavements and now he owns the streets.
this is known as thinking outside the box - delivering beyond the brief.
he never struggles to squeeze in his five a day..
she shuffles on canes into subterranean spaces,
unto her cache of cattle with sellotape faces.
a remorseful chorus goes up,
'is this all we have to show for it'.
as though aimed at a film that
spits out his credits mid-sentence.
i pay them the blindest bit of notice,
its more than they deserve,
and set about erasing any traces
of triangles from my work.
cease to trade in vagaries
make my allegiances achingly clear
as I snatch from the hands
of the overlords of chance
with sticky dreams
of gristle wet grit and brits abroad,
we kick up the dust in place de la concorde.
we prayed you cease to trade in vagueries
and make your allegiances achingly clear.
book bins gutted,
insides scooped out like splintered giblets.
restuffed with blinds, terminals, wires
twats on blue chairs that recline
as a serpentine of working men
all queue to see the boy who sleeps with one eye open.
i crack another can for those
pubs, schools and post offices
as they disappear down the jewel-encrusted orifices.
with sticky-wet dreams of brits abroad
we kicked up the dust in the palace of the concord
the whole experience left me very cross
the whole experience left me very cross.

listen, please listen,
i dressed my message in the most appropriate rhythm.
a new wave of fisherman, name dawkins & hitchens,
winter and whiskeys will make for a swifter existence.
but don't lose yourself in prudence,
blubber has a million and one uses
and mammals move so gracelessly.
tonight, on the specials, i think...i think i saw you and me.
bring me my readers, i need to see the order of service.
blake's verse reversed, dickie dawkins' work rendered worthless.
whale, badger, fallow deer,
the magnetic pull of the cull.
population control became the black hole in my conversations,
i determine as i cut the beast across the throat.
and our hunter begins to wonder
if that cough he can't shift is stress or tuberculosis.
he'll pay for the things he says, like how
when he dies he wants to return to the earth as a plague.
I'M GONNA BUILD ME A HORSE three times the height of the angel of the north
and when the people look up at the galvanised steel skin they will feel exactly what i want them to feel.
