Goodbye to the Loaded Generation
By Jane Foster
|
It was all fun and FHM,
All alcopops and Spice,
The era when your gran
Thought Robbie Williams was nice.
We raised the union flag again
And switched the football on.
It was Blur versus Oasis,
What a good old carry on.
The lasses were all up for it
And propping up the bar,
Now you're ok and I'm ok,
I've got my Wonderbra.
But when all the supermodels
Have gone to airbrushed heaven,
When people start regretting
What they did in '97,
When the Mondays are not happy
And the clubbers all burnt out
'Cos the Es have turned them evil
And the As have no more clout,
When the lads can stomach no more ale,
Each one of them a quitter,
When the PM lies while people die,
Things can only get bitter.
So goodbye lads and ladettes,
And all you lager louts,
'Cos Tony's grin is fading,
Cool Britannia's frozen out.

Poetry - The Joy of Filth and Squalor By Space Tart
|
|
They say that cleaning's the new rock 'n' roll,
You can scrub your way into a man's soul.
How clean is your house? How neat is your garden?
Do dusters and Marigolds give you a hard on?
But rock 'n' roll's filthy, not shiny and neat

They are going to drill for more oil
Up in our arctic wilderness
So oil companies can get richer
With Politicians in the same business.
Let's not develop new resources

Poetry - Never Quite Happened By Anonymous
|
|
I think that you might hate me, I'm so tired I don't care.
Your opinion formed from nothing, when I wasn't there.
You thought that you loved me once, now I'm ugly and thick.
The fact I never dated you never altered it?

Poetry - FROM BIRTH TO DEATH By Del 'Abe' Jones

The Government thinks it knows best
Wants to tell us how to live our life
They even want to make decisions
That should be between a Man and Wife.
Their morals and beliefs they think

Poetry - Poverty By Andrea Longstaff

Didn't have a pot to piss in and
That's the truth
A vague recollection of a leaky roof
Dad's an alcoholic, living in fear
Didn't want him watch him cut mam's

Then friendship is an easy smile,
If hate is a loaded gun,
Then friendship is a white dove,
If oppression is a wall,

the decision you need

sits across from you and tries
to stare you out.

Poetry - The Price of Oil By Maggie Clegg

Eyes are blinded, stinging, burning,
Heart is thumping, feeble, failing,
Wings are cold, clammy, weak,
Can't draw a breath through tar-bunged beak.
The innocent birds die by the score

Real friendly, salt of the earth, definitely.

And although it's not PC
I giggle a bit, 'cos I know instinctively

Poetry - TERROR By Del 'Abe' Jones

Does the sound of bombs exploding
And the hot shrapnel humming by
Sound different when, "in Freedom's name"?
Cause less terror in the victim's eye?
Does the searing pain feel different

Poetry - Dreams By Darren Sant

A wavery image flutters before a bleary eye,
You reach for it,
In vain you try to make sense of the image,
Freud & Jung laugh at your attempts,
Does it bode well for the future?

Was just a name that you just drew
And you could give that Paper Heart
