Gaetano
Half A Person
I realize this has been done before, but I sincerely wanted to contribute and the thread is archived (read-only). So here is my resurrection of it:
Viva Hate:
"a star at eighteen
and then suddenly gone
down to a few lines
in the back page of a faded annual"
Bona Drag:
"The balcony fool was me, you fool"
Kill Uncle:
"With no complications
fifteen generations
(of mine)
all honouring Nature
until I arrive
(with incredible style)"
Your Arsenal:
"I'd hate to be like
Certain people I know
They break their necks
And can't afford to
Get them fixed"
Vauxhall and I:
"Don't rake up my mistakes
I know exactly what they are
and...what do YOU do?
well...you just SIT THERE"
Southpaw Grammar:
"And if a fight broke out here tonight
You'd be the first away, because you're that type"
Maladjusted:
"Show me a barrel and watch me scrape it
Faced with the music, as always I'll face it
In the half-light
So English, frowning
Then at midnight I
Can't get you out of my head
A disenchanted taste
Still running 'round"
You Are The Quarry:
"Drinking tea with the taste of the Thames
Sullenly on a chair on the pavement
Here you'll find, my thoughts and I"
Ringleader of the Tormentors:
"Life is a pigsty
And if you don't know this
Then what do you know?
Every second of my life I only live for you
And you can shoot me
And you can throw me off a train
I still maintain"
Years of Refusal:
"An end-of-the-ride sigh
your soft smile says:
'please understand, I must surrender'
Then you grip with your hand
now so small in mine
are you aware wherever you are
that you have just died?"
World Peace is None of Your Business:
"You're that stretch of the beach
That the tide doesn't reach
No meaning, no reason
The lonely season"
Low in High School:
"I rescued you in so many ways
'You're good for a laugh', that's all you can say
Summer is winter and winter prevails
And I'm so tired of counting the days"
