"hello... | |
What have we here? | |
A young lady! | |
To what do i owe this pleasant surprise, my pretty one? | |
How may i be of service this dark and wintry night? | |
Ah, i see. you wish me to look into the future... your future. | |
After gcses, a-levels, university... | |
After your first badly paid job in advertising... | |
Okay, my pretty, just cross my palm with plastic, | |
And i'll see what i can do... | |
Wait! | |
The fog is lifting!" | |
I see oriental paper globes | |
Hanging like decomposing cocoons | |
While exotic candles overload | |
The dusty air with their stale perfume | |
And i see lentils, beans, seaweed and rice | |
In jars on the windowsill | |
And it ain't hardly enough to feed the mice | |
Running behind the lines of allergy pills | |
All these things will come to pass | |
When heroes of the middle class | |
Face up to their responsibilities | |
I see an indian fertility god | |
He's got thirty seven limbs to spare | |
And tasteless tie-dyed tablecloths | |
That double up as evening wear | |
And i see naked bodies twist and turn | |
On the futon of dreams fulfilled | |
But their three-year-old kid seems unconcerned | |
He'd rather swallow all those allergy pills | |
I see unspeakable vulgarity | |
Institutionalised mediocrity | |
Infinite tragedy | |
Rise up little souls◇join the doomed army | |
Fight the good fight◇wage the unwinnable war: | |
Elegance against ignorance! | |
Difference against indifference! | |
Wit against shit! | |
My words fly up to heaven, my thoughts remain below | |
Words said without feeling never to heaven go... | |
All these things will come to pass | |
When heroes of the middle class | |
Face up, repent, and pay the price | |
For accidentally creating life | |
An oversight for which they must atone | |
And sacrifice their own |
