Testi

And in our pockets receipts and machines
In our estate the lift don't work
And walking is hard
'Cause here it's meant to be
And in our flunky fingers
Sobbing rings and sweat
From all that worried waiting
For things to happen
That you know they should
If only they would
And in our heads visions of getting beat up in back alleyways
Too much mincing about
London schemes to devalue its youth
It's inside your burning veins
I'm in love with the solidarity that we no longer exist
Like 80s soul boy misunderstood lepers
And all those obscure books and films and 45s
With their conviction and strength and love for you
More than you even know
And in our bones it feels like I'm going cold
Invisible
Am I disappearing from sight
With no friends or lovers or letters?
And in our hearts the secret behind the phone box language
Bugged and tapped
Because there are no secrets kept hid in these big CBC
And in our mouths contempt
Toxic alcoholic lies
Dribbling proletariat junk
Like a spastic
Every year you get a little sadder
A little drunker
A little more violent
Cynical, waiting for direction
Or a new discipline
In our pants
Hard cocks
From roughing on the stairs
Writing dirty words in Archway
You say the only reason you play bad guitar
Is to get bad reaction
All this clone collective band shit
Through boredom, contempt, and no ideas
Our only ambition is just to die
Solidarity with other bands is good
We have no ideas
In our palms
Silver rings
To give to young brides
We're kept safe for now
In our souls important decisions wait inside
Creeping out
Pushing you forwards into the abyss of future uncertainty
Torture and traitored cloth
Climbing like a monkey to reach the top of the stairs
Lift broken down
Get into the car, Oaks
And under the concrete with the cement
Go home quickly
Because we have no ideas
And in discos chatting up girls
Dropping gin
Slurring stupid words
And nicotine fingers reaching out
Go home and listen to your crackling needle records
And stained sleeves
Put it all into unfocused clarity
Estates all over London
Full of despair and violence
Loud radios are settling our nerves
As we look to get back into tune to
The chords we sing and cry all night
And in the morning it starts again
And again and again
Makes the guitar snap all through pissed off slumber
Your body is getting colder
Has no more purpose
Lost, nowhere to go
Like when they chucked you out of school
And made you walk the parks
I wanted to be a monkey
And I ended up a cartoon
We have no ideas
