SANDINISTA CRASH COURSE AMEN

 

that preening peacock pop 

on the top-pops viddy tube

never spoke to me back then 

singing out their noses

singing like theyre bored

adverts for cocaine & yachts 

~

thank holy-be-fuck 

for the clash tapes

stickered & stacked  

in the woolworths bargain basket

sandinista - my musical crash course

amen

SOUND FILE VOL 4

 

90s radio 

on in the motorcar

in 2021 

leafy murmurs & thunderclaps

dayglo whistles in the air

look down all day at your shoes

two journeys 

for the price of one

~

the bad is worse & the ok better 

rose tinted right ?

its in its context now

safe in a history box

landlines still rung

napster a teenage dream

~

  i 

  reckon 

Lester Bangs would rate the Prodigy

& not much else

  

  & 

  spit cool accelerator bile 

  on the unrock dirge laments*

 

* you know who i mean
