Curtains twitch in unison
As he descends upon the playground
A secret rendezvous
They kiss and look around
Make no sound
He strokes her face
So tender and mild
Afflicted from his birth
23 without a lover
Tied to his mother
A precocious 14 years
Sexuality uncovered
Woke from it's slumber
Her mother wracked with despair
She warned her now to beware
He wasn't all there
She conjured up a spirit
A spectre who would take care
A ghost to ensnare
He stroked her face
So tender and mild
His body of an adult
His mind of a child
They broke both his hands
And they burned his feet
Hacked off his balls
As his face they beat
Penetrated him with broken glass
Left him to die in the underpass

My Life in Statistics
05:14

1/6 of my CD collection was bought in the vain hope that it would make me seem cooler
I have consumed over 100 hours of hardcore pornography
256, the number of times I have said "I am never drinking again"
50% of my exes hate my fucking guts, and the other 50% just think I'm a twat
My life in statistics
My life in statistics
I have cheated on my various partners a total of 14 times, at least
1/3 of my life so far has been a complete waste of time
80% of the things I have started I have never finished
1 in 3 of my thoughts regard an unrequited ambition, the other 2 regard an unrequited sexual fantasy
My life in statistics
My life in statistics

Aluminium Army

I arrange the cans two by two
My aluminium army
They build a wall ten metres high
Allow no enemies to harm me
They march over treacherous terrain
Underwear reappropriated by suspect stains
Empty vessels - two litres big
Giant silos replete with one last swig
Fallen comrades this is a call to arms
Help me to negotiate this night unharmed
Neutralise my love
The aggressor
Undermine her
Then undress her
Fallen comrades this is a call to arms
Help me to negotiate this night unharmed
Anesthetize me from the threat of loneliness
Hold me to your bosom with your sweet caress

Silent World
03:40

Wherever you go, there you are
Trapped inside the wreckage of a car
Crash through the driver's side
Fractured limbs and broken pride
Always comes before a fall
Headlights illuminate the wall
We condense, and break and smash
Through the windscreen in a swarm of glass
Ghostly figures preside
My hand mangled in the door
My neck wrenched off to the side
The urine streams across the floor
Numbness sweeps me from the neck down
Blue lights propel me through the town
Indifference mapped across their face
Shattered limbs can't take me from this place
Of misery and despair
Where disgust is hidden in their care
Patronising smiles and absent sighs
The simple truth concealed within their lies
Ghostly figures preside
My hand mangled in the door
My neck wrenched off to the side
The urine streams across the floor
Nurse cleans without a word
Drugs, they bring relief
Confined to this silent world
I pray for my release
