The Egotist
By Cilla

Tell me I'm great
Tell me I'm good
If you were a real friend
I'm sure that you would.

And why not be friends?
You're so good for me
But only when you tell
What I want to see

It's me who is clever
It's me who is bright -
You are just stupid
Or feeling uptight

I'm feeling so let down
Your whole plot is mad
Just try me, upset me,
It's you who'll be sad

Oh, what a performance
Bravo and encore!
The truth isn't needed,
It's me I adore

As long as you're humble
And keep me on top
Your life will run smoothly
Otherwise, not.

I asked him to sign my favourite chapter,

Poetry - Girls (for Rebecca and Ellen) and Pilot

By Nigel Walker
Girls, girls
slow down !
I don't know what to write.
It will take one hundred hours

just to say how I feel about
the sound of your feet on the stairs.
Each morning you are a fresh oyster prised.
The crash of tsunami. The prow of a hunting ship.

Poetry - Thoroughly Post-Modern Millie & Conspiracy

By Jane Foster

I'm thoroughly post-modern Millie.
I'm having such a ball.
I've got 15 personas
But no-one loves them all..

I'm thoroughly post-modern Millie.
I've eaten all the men.
I swallowed all life gave me
And threw it up again.

Poetry - "Chemical Love" and "Digit-ull Shitty"
	By Rich Mills I double dropped before I went in, Being searched by the doorman put my head-in-a-spin. I pays me money and am through the door, Head starts to bob, soon drawn to the dance-floor. Then through throbbing heart and a tribal beat, Two pairs of dilated rolling eyes briefly meet. Read more...

Poetry - "Needle Whore" and "Divorce Number 2"
	By Rich Mills Down the corridor and through the door, There lives nothing more than a needle whore. All his pathetic rock-star dreams, Are slowly coming apart at the seams. With song lyrics full of false metaphor, He's a one-man psychological war. Read more...
