And ask the manager to...

Bombay Missiles
From the eyes of Shangri-la and words indited in bulletin
spoken by  bellwethers and imagery on broadcasts
Felt the passing of breaths and federation menace.

The scourge abided by cause of hooliganism
By a group of libertine, 
Held, ye plot to an affright baker’s dozen bams.
He who fended collared gravely, and he who
Fathered, headed for the hills.

I had ever seen.
I think she loved...

Born In Bombay
Before you were real, you were a dream.
Before you were a dream, you were an actress, born in Bombay. 
Her’s is Ayesha; yours is Ali, and she told me you were coming, years before you came, and she placed you inside of my heart.
