Heroin does this to you.

This time of recklessness, make not with logic. Don't waist time planning chaotic. Everything in it's right place. Thoughts arise. Now this picasso face. Try colours you like. Not what I might. The art of making a mix tape. This one moment before the rape. I'll apologise for the mess tomorrow. Just take a look at me now. I know. When the young die early. And the old wish they were free. Irresponsibility burns colourfully. So quit acting deliberately. Cool is the pursuit of youth. Youth being the pursuit of recklessness. Watch others wildness and wish no less that you were that way dressed. Stressed, unhappy and inclined to believe that attention is the cause of applause and shopping in stores with doors on the floors makes you cool. This is the broken rule. You're a fool if you see cool in the mirror. Die your hair black. Never look back. Wankers.

''Writers block.''

This is an ode to the poem I never wrote. A shadow now coats as the black cloud floats. I had the answer I swear. A piece of writing better than any adivice. It's message was clear. It rings in the ear. The song of life but now it's blocked by fear. I wish I could show the light burn bright. I wish I could tell you it's going to be alright. But this is merely a tribute to ponder. Where be yonder?

Below is probably one of the worst pieces of writing I've produced but I love it because even if no one gets it. Thats the point.

The Point.

I'm a square ball of wool. Tangled like a fool. To the right of me she sits. And further right my stool. Flick the switch and I unwind. I tell her that she's blind. Give her a treasure to find. I know she won't mind.

We're all clowns here I say. She think's it's a game and decides to play. Gives her self on a plate. And lets me show her the way.

But we're all clowns here I tell her. Look to the right and see, it's an empty seat for me. But I chose left to see my self-hipocrocy. Because we're all clowns you see.

Still she insists that the game must persist, I explain that she missed the point I made exist. So I give up and pretend. Say I see life round the bend. To humor this friend.

But we're all clowns here. And now I've come to here. This song, poem or piece bollocks writing I hope she finds enlightning...

''Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right.''

You sat in the middle of myself and I.

You'll never know why you're as perfect as Pi.

But now you must know that Pi is a lie.

We're all clowns here, you and I. The best you can do is laugh or cry. I'm no saint, you're no sinner, we all paint our friends and pretend we're the winner.

Now I know this wont make sense to many, but it applies to you and any.

We're all clowns here. We live in fear. We play life by ear. We learn from a peer. But he's just another clown here.

So when you find the one that makes you think lifes begun, remember this simple sum...

Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right.

I've never been one for idle chit chat, I thought perhaps it was me lacking something, but no, I realise it's everyone else.

I can talk about myself for years.

Little girl lost.

I think you say things when you mean them. It's not a different language when I hear them. I'll tell you that I see it. The point I miss but you believe it. Tables turn...

Her house moved in a storm. The girl slept till morn. Unaware of what had gone on. No change from the norm. Untill reality had worn. Two lovers torn.

This isn't creativity or poetry. It's just the way I think and speak. Last week it was my 'philosophy'. That's the point. You see?

Complaints for saints.

The problem became more than just in your brain.
When you looked to someone else for an answer to 'sane'.

I told you the difference between thought and word.
An explanation I think you should not of heard.

Stick to writing with colours and scenery
Don't waist time with meaning and what's here.

Truth is an apple you're given for free.
Don't throw it away and ask for the tree.

It's seriously hilarious seeing and listening to people come out with the kind of profound bullshit I've been trying to tell the world for years.

It was once called intellect.

Now it's become something discussed in pop music.

Still... None of you Really Know.

Wankers.

Redemption for kings.

You won't learn anything. I watch the glass bitch smirk. A stand in for thought. I made a writer girl work. Quills and paper wont do this love justice. I'll fill my glass and urge her to suss this. Whoever gives happiness ties hidden knots. The emperor's new clothes came in a box. Now the time has come to jump ship or fence. The least I can do is end this pretence. You never knew I could be so smug. You never considered that I pulled the rug. The king ammoung blind. I lay my sight down to find. Now the king ammoung kings. I make jest of these things.

I can give you life. I can take it away. I created this game. Now I'm not gonna play.

You all missed the point.

If you think 'cool' is in your grasp then you're grievously mistaken.


Cool is what happens when you're looking the other way.


Van Gogh never painted the Sunflowers because they were beautiful, they were beautiful because Van Gogh painted them.


Likewise, Bob Dylan was never cool because his name was Bob Dylan, The name Bob Dylan is cool because it belonged to him.


Maybe I won't make sense to you.


Maybe one day you'll realise something and think I'm God, or something. I seriously doubt it though.


Hmm...

She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
she studied sculpture at St Martin's college
that's where I
caught her eye
She told me that her Dad was loaded
I said "In that case I'll have rum and coca-cola."
she said "Fine,"
and then in thirty seconds time she said
"I want to live like common people
I want to do whatever common people do
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you."
or what else could I do?
I said "I'll see what I can do."

I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why, but I had to start it somewhere
so it started there
I said "Pretend you've got no money."
but she just laughed an said "Oh you're so funny."
I said "Yeah?
Well I can't see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure?
Are you sure you want to live like common people
you want to see whatever common people see
you want to sleep with common people
you want to sleep with common people like me?"
But she didn't understand
she just smiled and held my hand

Rent a flat above a shop
cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
`cos when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your Dad he could stop it all
Yeah
You'll never live like common people
you'll never do what common people do
you'll never fail like common people
you'll never watch your life slide out of view
and then dance, and drink, and screw
because there's nothing else to do

Sing along with the common people
sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
laugh along even though they're laughing at you
and the stupid things that you do
because you think that poor is cool

Like a dog lying in a corner
they will bite and never warn you
Look out
they'll tear your insides out
`cos everybody hates a tourist
especially one who thinks it's
all such a laugh
yeah and the chip stain's grease will come out in the bath
You will never understand
how it feels to live your life
with no meaning or control
and with nowhere else to go
You are amazed that they exist
and they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why

Rent a flat above a shop
cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
`cos when you're laid in bed at night
watching roaches climb the wall
if you called your Dad he could stop it all
You'll never live like common people
you'll never do what common people do
you'll never fail like common people
you'll never watch your life slide out of view
and dance, and drink, and screw
because there's nothing else to do

I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
I want to live with common people like you
Aa-aa-ah la la la la...
Oh yeah.  carolina

Don't listen to me, come and see for yourself.

Now I am here I will tell you what I see, a clown crossing the road, a blind man pretending to see, a preacher questioning me, a rich man crying to be free.

Have I ruined it all for you, shattered what was so true to you? Turned rose into blue for you? I'll take all the blame for you, question your intelligence for you, and laugh as my mind tries to be you.

I still see pink when I think, can taste the sweet drink before I notice the boat sink, I can still feel the warm air, the breeze blowing through my hair, and wonder why I ever had a care.

Now you try to be there.

If you work it out, tell me what you find.





I'm a pseudo charlatan that plays poker.
(Because irony is cool, apparently.)


I have a detrimental love for Golden Virginia, expensive red wine and Valium.
(Because tangible things make me feel like being cool is justified.)




Because it takes a genius making a fool of themselves to prove a point.





You're all insane.


Apart from the minority...


Who are either self-proclaimed geniuses, locked up in some kind of institute... Or both.




We don't want the loonies taking over.
"Tiptoe round tie them down."





Something to think about...


Society is based on the principle that only the ''teacher'' is worth listening to and not the person standing next to you.


The sad truth is that you'd all be a lot smarter right now if I was Johnny Depp or the lead singer of some crappy 'Emo' band.


Fucking morons.




Everyone please just wake the fuck up... It's getting so lonely.




Some stuff I don't mind sharing...


Songs worth hearing: Christmas card from a hooker in Minneapolis by Tom Waits, Second class citizen by Colour of Fire, Karma Police by Radiohead, Fix up look sharp by Dizzee Rascal, All these things that I've done by The Killers, Perfect day by Lou Reed, Maps by The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, My 1st single by Eminem, More than woman by Pink Grease, Tom's Dina by Suzanne Vega, Express yourself by NWA, Little Thoughts by Bloc Party, Idioteque by Radiohead, Needle in the hay by Elliott Smith, Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley, Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan, Citizen erased by Muse, Love will tear us apart by Joy Division, This charming man by The Smiths, District sleeps alone tonight by Postal service, The New Year by Death Cab for cutie, Rainy day woman by Bob Dylan, Oxygen by Willy Mason, No woman no cry by Bob Marley, Fake plastic trees by Radiohead, Imagine by John Lennon, Hounds of love by The Futureheads, A forest by The Cure, Lucy in the sky with diamonds by The Beatles, All mapped out by The Departure, Blowing in the wind by Bob Dylan, Bang bang by Nancy Sinatra, The man who told everything by The Doves, I heard it through the grapevine by Marvin Gaye, Window licker by Aphex twin, Visions of Johanna by Bob Dylan, Plug in baby by Muse, Heaven knows I'm miserable now by The Smiths, 1979 by The Smashing Pumpkins, Gimme some more By Busta Rhymes, Banquet by Bloc party, Underwear goes inside the pants by Lazyboy, When I see an elephant fly from the movie 'Dumbo', Do I have your attention by The Blood arm, Apply some pressure by Maximo Park, Mission Impossible by Limp Bizkit, What a wonderful world by Louis Armstrong, Sinnerman By Nina Simone, Dont look back in anger by Oasis, Brand new colony by Postal service, Seen the light by Supergrass, Cannonball by Damien Rice, Drug ballad by Eminem, So here we are by Bloc party, First day of my life by Bright Eyes, Formed a band by Art Brut, She dont use jelly by The Flaming lips, Meantime by The Futureheads, 21 seconds by So Solid, Emily Kane by Art Brut, Golden Brown by The Stranglers, Road to nowhere by The Talking Heads, Ever fallen in love by The Buzzcocks


Books worth reading: Mobius Dick by Andrew Crumey, Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer, Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh, High Fidelity by Nick Hornby, The Comedy Writer by Peter Farrelly, The curious incident of the dog in the night-time by Mark Haddon, Impossibility by John D. Barrow, Hypernotomachia Poliphili by an Unknown Author, Diary of a Madman and other stories by Nikolai Gogol, Paperweight by Stephen Fry, The third policeman by Flann O'Brien, The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky, Nausea by Jean Paul Sartre, The Little Prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupery




So here's the punchline...


Read something else.


This one is nonsense, not meant to make sense, a matter of irrelevance, so dont pay by the pence, just read the begining, since the end is of no more importance. Isn't it stupid? To write about nothingness, and pretend no less that this is poetry's finest, probably my best. Did I explain the end is pointless? You'd be better off reading the title again it might explain that you can avoid the pain of disdain if you ignore this and remain dignified in your intelligence because this is nothing more than a false pretence, a matter of no great consequence. Do you feel cheated? maybe slightly heated? The prospect of losing time for not a dime, merely a rhyme, now try to find the humor in all this, I was always taking the piss, did you miss the point, miss-joint the meanings and think serious things will spill from this inferior thing I sing? You clearly was not listening, now go back to the begining and learn something, I'm not pretending, this is the ending.




If you don’t have a smile on your face,
you must not have a lower jaw.



Thank you.

I have decided to leave elftown, indefinitely,

I'm resigning my title as The Patron Saint Of Switchblade Fights.

Reasons for leaving are mainly due to a lack of understanding.

On your part and mine.

If I'm remembered for anything at all, it has to be a vision created by yours truely.

I'm screaming at the top of my lungs...

'You're Missing The Point!!!'

That is all. Bye xxx
