It’s the stupid sad disposition of a stupid man wood for trees the foolish recognition of imagined plans you won’t get my sympathy or my correction
2.
BOAT 05:57
What's that? you got a brain in that head of yours thinking “way to black out” never mind my clever mouth I am just as bad so let's never talk about it again no sweetness no one here has tangoed solo
3.
BY JINGO 02:38
Fighting our battles in overseas sports fields we raise monuments to celebrities wed flags flying proudly from vehicle windows show national support and our pride for the brightest and bravest we phone-vote to greatness hands clamped tightly on ears defend this land from censure and lack the public voice is written every day and available for mere pence
4.
Put your feet up take the weight off of your bungee rope ration all passion save the energy to blink next door says there’s a new collection calendar we've gone twenty seven rounds both of us licked the floor and buried our heads in the ground so let's call it a draw I still want to be able to take the bins out
5.
“The way I see it, you're complicit just by being alive” opting for choice in place of what we say we'd rather have convenience is a crippling thorn in the side of all our weakness and the daily guilt knowing that we wouldn't miss it if half was to go
6.
Senses separate holding command at arms length gesture to our fear ask of it almost anything and times like this it never fails to feel that we dream too lucid holding tiny flamingos in our mouth when layers of whale tell us of Christ but when you're floating through walls; fear and fervour one and the same

GRIST 06:38
Whether you loathe a badge or you respect a badge the connotations of a uniform don’t wrap a shield around a parents heart two women died today two police women two women died today two people got killed today two women died today two police women the latter doesn't make it worse what matters is the killing although the press would have us think otherwise we should all remember murder isn't black or white but it's certainly not copper every life in its essence stands so far from insignia what we are without emblems we should all remember
8.
ILLNESS 03:57
9.
OUTRÉ 04:46
Its not about hair clothes or make up we know but one day I saw it carried so well and yes it was an insight a window into day to day realities and self belief held in pragmatic sway but to see you since pretend you don't know the place it holds within your day and what you make it belies the weight and positivity of confidence within your choices spare yourself the affectation
10.
PRO RATA 04:57
“What you waiting for a medal? this christmas wont pay for itself you wont remember signing in cos birth was your induction but is half your life too much to ask for happiness? security? If some dream different let them lead us” if some dream different let them lead us
