God was branded to be non-essential
gamblers and boozers were preferential
the playgrounds were yellow taped 
but no crime had taken place
while cons buffed their 38 specials...

This site is looked after by the cops 
poets are drunk dopers
losers and boozers that never win
the cops are coming after the poets 
they are checking names and records 
and entering accusing words 
while sitting and eating doughnuts
the cops are locking up the poets 
drunkards druggies get rid of the dirt
cops are reading your poetry 
taking aim at you 
and child support 
run run run hahaha...

A truckful of drunks
half-skunked boozers
gun racks in the back
unlucky losers
pulled up to the pumps
for a gallon or two
only high octane
tanked would do
then one had a bad itch
he started to scratch
wanted a smoke
and when he lit a match
the explosion was heard
three miles away
to arrive alive
do what they say
'Don't drink and drive'
and yes it's true
it could ruin your day
smoking is bad for you

Newhaven

This is the town that time sank,
Grey shades of dust on riverbanks,
where the gulls they flock a'frenzy


Those were the shops the road choked,
accessible through a haze of exhaust smoke,
each building there now stands empty,.


This is the land where the trash burns,
This small stretch of boozers and cab firms.
And a ferry port for entry.

This is the town of Newhaven,
and I doubt there's a thing that can save 'em,
for the money it left with the gentry....
