Lets Form a Band
Hey let´s form a band
You can be red Rodney
I´ll be elvin jones
Let´s meet in soho
Let´s go steal books
From foyles
Like in the old days
Let´s run until we can´t
& laugh until we faint
It´s all we have now
Punch a cop in the face
& offer him a handkerchief
As big as a field
A field with a bull
We can pat on the nose
I wish all picnics
Were a break on time
& the stars could tap
Our shoulders
In consolation
Ha!
Let´s perform a dance
A sad little dance
A possible & unfortunate
Dance
All we have now is what?
A remote control
To change the colour
Of the milky way?
Language?
Stones?
Dice?
The rutted tracks
Of roman chariots
So let´s form a band
& make sour music
Maybe not this week
But soon
