COOL BRITANNIA

( cool britannia is a shop now
  on buckingham palace road
  selling union jack tat
  bulldogs
  red buses )

it was all horse shit
rock bands at number 10

mediacrap and opportunityballs

blair owned a guitar did he ?
slept rough one night did he ?
well fuck him
manson in a suit . . .

anyway
tabloid
hacks
pegged
a
scene

patted their faux mod backs

and forget that lennon
gave back his mbe  

( the letter he wrote
  when he gave it back
  went for £60k
  it turned up in a record sleeve
  at a boot sale )

TRUTH / NEWS / FAGS TRILOGY

1.

dont smoke
dont smoke
dont smoke the tabloid crack

dont smoke
dont smoke
dont smoke the broadsheet freebase

smoke fags
  smoke fags
    smoke fags - if you cant stop
   
    they
    are
    your
    best 
    fair weather friends

    existential moments
    with
    truth
    on
    the
    box


2.

think binge 
in your own tiny mind
if you can be bothered

pick and choose from the river of facts
or
listen to your kfc guts 
for
instinct
hints
about the milky flow

or let it all be

leave
the man-made weather in its snowglobe
on
your
folks
mantelpiece

look deep in it
once a month
and
wonder
how
and 
why


3.

follow the money
follow the money
chase the cash 
for
truth and reason

if nothing comes clear
then
you
are
in
the realms of madness

the clown-smile land
of bad taxidermy

and what of questions then ?

A MAN IN A SHOP

this guy got 
  ski jacket from 86
  deep-blue brand-new jeans
  his wife hemmed up
  with
  a hot iron 
  and 
  copydex glue

this guy got 
  a shouting tabloid
  his
  eyes 
  always 
  down

this guy got
  no trace of kids urges 
  anywhere
  anymore
