Labi Siffre - Into The Light

Wanker

Anders Behring Breivik sane; fatally
Stupid no revolutionary
Lacking in vision a dull recycler
Of a many failed past

Praised of course
By other losers; the easy way out
Has always brought honors
From slurried followers

In the pot of human progress remember
The invention of bread is more important
Than the invention of gunpowder will ever be

And the children of Utoya will forever have
More substance than the wanker who killed them

If It Ain't Got That Swing

The day doesn’t fall, we shove it
Over the hills and far gun shots
Scream; the street cries
Blood streams from bags of lies

More fall to their knees in prayer mode
(Brown nosing always sells) by the time
The cops come we’ve stripped the bodies
Of cash keys shoes phones

Spiritual things we respect
In this hood; tradition flowers
On all four corners of the crosses we wear
Bouquets of jacked justification

"To smell the next crash
You have to live" we sneer
At battered wives "why don't you leave?"
So why don't we, homie?

Guns don't kill people

People kill people

Tragically there are so many people

With guns

And so farewell Susannah York

Some talk of honesty in acting

That’s how your work

Always seemed to be

To me

So farewell Norman Wisdom

Best known for slapstick clowning; though

You never made me laugh
Your Bernard Flood

With terminal cancer in
The TV play “Going Gently”

Stays with me still since 1981
So thank you Norman. Nice one.
