Demon Spawn
Howlin’ wind, oh howlin’ wind!
Surely you are Demon spawn!
No earthly power can compare.
You batter, blast and tear!
You blow against the tallest trees
And bring these giants to their knees!
You whip the waves to monstrous hieghts.
You kill the peace these howlin’ nights.
You fill my soul with bitter fear.
You make me know that death is near;
And even if you sleep at dawn,
Howlin’ wind, oh howlin’ wind
You’ll resurrect you Demon spawn!!
Black & White
When I was a boy, I played suburban war-games
Or cowboys and Indians.
I’d shoot at my brothers with a wooden gun,
And have endless arguments about who killed who..
“ Yeh , I shot you five times in the head! ”
“ Did not! “
“ Did so! “
We didn’t have a clue;
We were back-yard heroes!
We’d watch the “goodguys”
Beat the “badguys” on T.V.
Happy endings guaranteed
And of course, Our side was always right!
It was the sixties & life was black and white.
God save the Queen & God bless America!
We were brain-washed at an early age;
We even stood to attention
Whenever they raised the flag
And played the anthem on T.V!
I swear it’s true!
The old man was British army, spit and polish
Through and through!!
We cried when Kennedy was killed.
We cheered when the Yanks landed on the Moon.
We didn’t question authority.
We were well on the way
To a preplanned destiny!
Birth, School, Work, Death.
Luckily, some of us discovered
Hendrix & Bowie & ganja & L.S.D!
Our world was no longer Black & White!
And Our side was Not always right!!
Rise Up!
They weave a web of evil lies;
Those oily, smiling worms
In suits and old school ties.
The fate of millions in their sweaty palms,
The blood of generations
Sacrificed to serve their selfish aims.
A pox on all their houses!
Rise up sheep!
Let’s set fire to their trousers!!
So Fucking Beautiful!
Life is a quantum chain reaction of miracles;
A glass of blood red crucified wine.
The sad refrain of loves’ lost longings.
The sweet surrender of labours’ honest toils.
And when we least expect,
The muses smash us with their mighty hammers.
The words spray like solar flares-
So fucking beautiful!
So fucking beautiful!!
