Litter Bug
By Stuart Murray
|
Space raider, the kerb invader.
Regal packets reject, where's the focus point gone?
A crushed Carling can is the point to this song.
Mars bar wrapper, Carrier bag.
Twix dropped like the fix. The only difference is the needle pricks.
No silk cut, refined cigarette. It's only ever flicked out of a Range Rover I bet.
Dirty roll up, Marlborough light.
Twenty empty cider bottles scattered in the park after night.
Page three spread and the Daily Sport.
That's all the sex education I ever got taught.

Space raider, the kerb invader.
Regal packets reject, where's the focus point gone?
A crushed Carling can is the point to this song.
Mad dog, Pooper-scoopers are all the rage.
Hundred pound fine on the lamppost that nobody has paid.
Raga bone, Broken gnome.
Pond side what a dump.
Thick black oil and dirty pumps.
TVs that float,
Empty bottle of cherry coke.
Smashed glass, Rizla paper.
Old football on a roof, will get that later.

Space raider, the kerb invader.
Regal packets reject, where's the focus point gone?
A crushed Carling can is the point to this song.
Mac D, KFC.
Fish and chip wrapper keeps getting blown against me.
Blobs of chewing gum stuck to the path.
Washed away with a urine splash.
Space raider the kerb invader.
Regal packets reject, where's the focus point gone?
A crushed carling can is the point to this song.

Poetry - The Road Sweeper By Mike Watts
|
|
Reluctantly he slipped away from the depot
And pushing through his steaming breath
With thin-gloved flesh numb as death,
He shrank into the thickening snow.
And like a bud, he embraced the dissolving
Of whiteness, evermore bitter

Poetry - Lines of Life - Part Six By Paul England
|
|
I remember this one night we went in pub.
There was me, our lass, her sister and Deansy.
We were playing pool when a fight broke out between some of the local
dealers and a couple of guys. I saw what was going on and made a move real quick.
I knew they had put one of them in a bad way.
Later I heard on the radio that he was dead.
My life was in bits and my head had gone to shit.

Poetry - The Green-Eyed Monster By Laura Fry
|
|
There's no logical reason that I should feel insecure,
But when one's had the life I've had one can never be sure
You are so sweet; your love is so true
It was me that you married, my trust is in you
But then I see these women that are

In the end our Dave got with Bev and moved in with her. The housing people found out my mam was not living with us so I had to give the house up. I had a choice 'cos our Mike wanted it so he said I could live with him and his family or get a flat of my own. I let him move in.
He had said that he wanted to stop selling pot and that he wanted me to so I did, but when he moved in he

Poetry - The Decline Of The Fishing Industry By Mike Watts
|
|
Once I battled for frogs
When the waters bubbled and croaked
With slippery life.
I hunted minnows, flashing silver arrows
Darting through the weeds;
Caught and re-housed in soup-tins,
Chipped mugs, held tightly like

Poetry - Off The Chest By Mike Watts
|
|
I'm sick of you
You're full of crap
Mr 'victim' of the poverty trap
What bollocks - and to be blunt
You're just a fucking lazy cunt
Sat on your arse for twenty years
Blowing dope and necking beers

Poetry - Lines of Life - Part Three By Paul England
|
|
About a year passed and my dad had met this bird, Sue. After a month or so she was moving in while we were getting pushed out. My dad had said that we would always come first but he lied.
I remember one night I started arguing with Sue. I called her a silly cow and my dad grabbed me round the neck. I ran out and I said 'I'm going to my mams'.

Poetry - Paris Is Burning By Patrick Henry
|
|
In '68, students seized Paris to man the barricade;
Copied the '89 Revolution, when Jacobins stormed
The Bastille; guillotined the ruling class to carve a state
Into The Republic, which each new generation remade.
In film, The Cars That Ate Paris, named autos the enemy.
Now 2000 and odd, past boulevards,

At this time I was knocking about with our Phil. He was working 'cos he had already left school. Me, I was always wagging off school and when I did bother to turn up I was just bad. I had three different teachers in my first three years at seniors, I never did my work, I was just a complete pain in the arse.

Poetry - The Hand That.....By Yellow Bear.
|
|
The hand that heals, should be
gentle, quiet and unobtrusive like
the air, that gently cushions the
leaf as it falls to its source.
The hand that heals, should be
unannounced in its giving, like the hand

Poetry - Lines of Life - Part One By Paul England
|

We all start out the same, young, cocky and we just don't give a fu**. I was no different.
For most my life I lived on North Hull and Bransholme. I've got two older brothers and a younger sister.
I want to start my story when I was 10 years old going on 11. It was coming to the point where
I was starting seniors, times were changing quick. Drugs were coming big again, and

Poetry - Thank You Friends Reunited By Laura Fry
|
|
Thank you Friends Reunited, for helping me see
That I've actually done rather well
Because almost all those who bullied me at school
Have hardly moved an inch out of the same old suburban hell
They still see all the same old faces
And miss the same old buses

Poetry - Something Like By Joe Hakim
|
|
It's like the guy asleep in a doorway with
an empty tinnie in his hand.
It's like the hours you spend
staring at the paint peeling from the wall
opposite you because
you can't sleep.

When he had fuck all.

Poetry - Then, There Will Be No Hope (VT Massacre) By Del Abe Jones.
|
|
If we don't change the way we do
And learn to do what we don't
If we can't each, honor ourselves
It's a sad fact that others won't
And there will be no hope!
If life isn't treated sacredly

And the world is run by reptiles

There are UFO's in Roswell

Poetry - Head Gone By Joe Hakim
|
|
My head's gone,
packed its case and left.
My head's gone,
don't know when I'll see it next.
My head's gone,
it's off to parts unknown.

Poetry - Was Hitler Misunderstood? By The Grunt People Collective.
|
|
Question: Was Hitler misunderstood?
Was all he wanted, to do good?
Protect his people me and you
From the people trying to
Blow us up and chop us down burn our children to the ground
Kill the people, who just might
His methods sure may be extreme

Lovers feel no pain

Poetry - Antipodes By Carol Coiffait

When you went away
the temperature dropped by four degrees.
Clouds conspired to hide all trace of blue.
The bird-box produced three dead coal tits
and every sparrow changed its tune.

Poetry - Underground And Inside By Andrew Wastling.

We are the Diggers and we are Jerusalem,
We are Robin Hood's outlaws with nowhere
To run to.
We are Freedom and the scent in the air,
Of Gerrard Winstanley and Wat Tyler's heirs.
We are not broken for

Poetry - - Southern European Fashionistas By Laura Fry
|
|
Southern European fashionistas
They really do my head in
With their snotty manner and ten-inch stilettos
That no-one in their right mind would be seen dead in
Trying to get a smile on their faces
Is like trying to jump a ten-metre hurdle

Poetry - Means To An End By Del Abe Jones.

Who only want the War to end
Are bad for the Troops morale
And the wrong message to send.
But, who more than those Troops
Would like to come home to stay

Poetry - The Gateway To The Soul By Laura Fry
|
|
They say that the eyes say it all
The gateway to the soul, that either repels or enthrals
You know almost immediately that he is the one
The love that you feel for him is second to none
You know that he is the one
When the most boring of tasks can

Through veiled eyes,
In knotted trees,

From leafless branches
Truth's void asylum...

As a place to show their Will
