No where near as hard as we used to be Muscle that counts though, crucially And I could give a lashing, brutally All this soft brush is new to me Brute force that proved to be The answer to most losing streaks Then the world stopped fighting back Settled, married, grew too meek When I [...]

She don’t miss a trick To wriggle out of it Every little slip in quips She’s got two hands on it Ready to remit Your opinion on it So sweet it’s sick Laid on thick She don’t know All what makes you tic She’s just quick Enough to nip That tiny blip You considered skipped [...]

Not one original thought or experience Cloudy reflections from that mirror kiss I appreciate you probably do enjoy getting your fingers in And there’s so much money you’re bringing in But the last seven songs on this LP told me that story I’ve heard you rapping, speaking, farting and singing it The twenty other man [...]

That thing Where you smile And look At the people you’re with To see if they feel The joy The moment’s give Or if it was just a blip Everyone else missed You drink it in Suck that starlight And grin The glance ain’t returned But reciprocity Ain’t everything I keep waiting for you to [...]

He’s the type to throw beige paint On a parrot Sees gold until he has it Bold grows old Then he’s bolting like the rabbit And nowadays she’s old pick About as special As pearls in front of pigs She’s just the butt of his sex jokes That get the boys rolling Hooting with the [...]

Is this even the kind of thing you dream of?
