"i am tired and I'm bored,", he said. /
"and I've got kinks in my bed. /
This work, how I hate it, I'd much rather play, /
Nothing to do, but I do need a rest." /
[whispered:] let's just get started and make a mess...
Morton stood up and said "what's that? /
It's the fifteenth of may, and I'm cold, and I'm wet." /
He turned without stopping / and smiled to the pilot.
People weather the terrible storm. /
A distant space ? ? ?
[stephen:]
A scene from a film circa 1982.
We drove down george street, en route to wendy's.
Glenn campbell was on the radio singing about cleaning his gun
And dreaming of galveston.
"what's this? " she said.
"it's hall & oates or nothing for me."
Of course, this was pre-house nation
And I asked her "what is anyone going to remember this decade for? "
She paused for a second, then said:
"waffle cardigans, wentworth jail,
Rah-rah skirts straight out of hell,
Andrew ? ? ? and bmx bikes,
Chernenko and miners' strikes,
Nikky kershaw and red ken,
Peter tatchell and dirty den,
Mark king slapped his ba*s,
And early issues of the face,
Sigue sigue sputnik, margaret thatcher,
Toto coelo, and spycatcher,
E.t., arthur, elmo's fire,
Not a patch on billy liar,
Phil redmond and transformers,
Tin-tin duffy in leg-warmers,
Stu damer, evil tel,
Roger hebert, what a pal,
Steven waldorf, jerry gross,
Do the hucklebuck by coast to coast,
Steve blacknell on the telly,
The cla*sic beard of altobelli,
Leon klinghofer, baby duck(? ),
Blonde highlights, flourescent sock,
Steve lynex and gordon smith,
Martin fry grew a quiff,
Haysi fantayzee, videotech,
Shakey drove us crazy, what the heck,
Hazel o'connor in breaking gla*s,
Gripper stebson's in the cla*s."
And I said, "i don't remember any of that. if you can remember the '80s you weren't there. uh, you know, I remember scott crolla in his furry freak brothers t-shirt, if that's anything."
