Look After 02:35
LOOK AFTER Well, he used to have a job and he used to love his job then he had to quit his job to look after his dad, Bob and he looked after his dad, Bob until his dad, Bob, died Do’s and functions, there were some but more than some, he did not come the reason gave to every one he had to look after his mum and he looked after his mum until his mum died and then he would get up early to look after his girly, Shirley… And no matter how hard the wind changed and turned cold and blew straight in his eye he did not cry

Born To Rest 03:24
BORN TO REST I have to stop for a lay-down While taking forty winks. Jimmy-jams are my uniform My eyelids are on the blink. Not a bead of sweat on my forehead Never a sinew flexed. General Strike, I salute you Major Breakdown, you’re next. University of Loaf? I never took the test No winning tape touched my breast I’m too beat to beat my chest Baby, I was born to rest. I could’ve been a long distance runner But I’m always short of breath I could have been a gung-ho soldier But I’m allergic to death. I’d give a sloth a walk for his money I’ve got slo-mo beat Instant coma’s gonna get me I need speed to sleep. University of Loaf? I never took the test No winning tape touched my breast I’m too beat to beat my chest Baby, I was born to rest. Swimming across the channel Is an ambition successfully ducked. I could have been a high-class gigolo But I couldn’t be fucked. Tune out, drop off, be someone else’s guest Beware the Jabberwock, Sudoko and incest Three zeds are my family crest Baby, I was born to rest.

THUMBS AND FINGERS With thumbs and fingers Forming a frame I can cage the sky Still those clouds, a plane Stop the sun Chasing the moon Pause the inevitable Capture this afternoon.

Far Fetching 02:39
FAR FETCHING Here’s a room and a door and a hall and a door and a path and a gate boulevard and a street. A corner and a road avenue and a row Over bridge across stream circling steps lead to street. A walkway a subway roundabout motorway. A shortcut through a field a meadow to a lane. ‘Long a trail down a track a passage cross a moor. And pasture over hill through forest to a dale. Round golf course cricket green sink estate cemetery. Open door enter room cross the space now there’s you.
