Gut feels for all the old foolish gets with their aged gregarious fuels, the frail transitioners, the failed transgressors, the foul-mouthed beauties still, the eternally restless fashionistas and the once doomed stylists, the feral poets with two good lines left in their pockets, the fucked up geeks, all money no charm, and all those other strivers and chancers who make up this city of ours, like the mouthy scaffolders, savaged dog walkers, fatberg deconstructionists, lonely librarians, battered care workers, ariel installers, pavement riders, harassed couriers, burned out nurses, sweat shop slaves, supermarket warehousemen, working early hours strip light shift, invisible chauffeurs watching pricks abuse privilege in rear view mirror, inviolable hi vis midnight street sweepers, watchers of CCTV, art galleristas, tired baristas, tireless graffiti artists, the eternal homeless, hostel reception staff, the hostile and harassed, resting actors, abandoned cats, slinking foxes, the old vanishing sparrows, the new flourishing parakeets all the strugglers and stragglers, the lost the lonely the losers, the lovers, foolish gets, gregarious fuels, I have only mad love and gut feels for you all.
lyrics
MY SAILOR SUIT AND HAT
So I never came home for tea
A world of adventure claimed me
I was never going to be happy
So I remained out here lost at sea
Ports have been exhausted
The days pass by so quick
Oysters now are toxic things
But the pearl is still my world
The albatross near extinct, old adventurers scarce
All the old crew have gone
One or two died some changed others moved on
Me, I can’t turn back
Until the day I find some stupid gold
Or heal the burning wound within my wanting soul
Ports have been exhausted
The days pass by so quick
Oysters now are toxic things
But the pearl is still my world
