Andy is in Tonypandy
With Mandy
Drinking brandy
Joe likes Mandy
but Mandy kisses Sandy
and Sandy wants Candy
And Candy wants Andy
So squelch and splat they go
And Joe
Doesn’t know.
Dave is in another rave
He hopes and prays
That these shrooms are OK
That this time friends will play
But they’ve all gone away
Dave tries to be brave
But the puke come in waves
And the lights burn his brain
He just wants to be saved
Shaking, scared in the shadows
with the spiders and the shysters,
Alone, tripping, spun out, eyes aglow
He wants a face he knows
But Joe
Doesn’t know.
A girl in Thurle
Plays with her curls
She hopes one day
To see the world
But she’s locked down
For spreading germs
And now she’s forced
To funk and fume
“One day,” she says
“I’ll have my turn,
I’ll fight and spit
And fuck and gurn
By old bodies
Of ancient bones
I’ll take my time,
I’ll make my list,
My polished gun
Will shoot them down”.
And Joe
Didn’t Know.
Joe went and Joe played
Usually, he was OK.
He travelled places
And never stayed
And back he came
For one more day.
Candy and Sandy
Diffused into madness.
Andy and Mandy
Kept lighter fuel handy.
Cause outside there was dirt,
There was danger. A girl
With a gun had rampaged
And no-one escaped.
Her wrath at the world
Carved holes in its face.
Beside her was Dave
Still spinning in space
Dressed in his dress
Rictus grin on his face
In an extra dimension
It made perfect sense
The girl from Thurle
And Dave had merged.
They would never be saved.
There was no way to grace
So they waved round the gun,
Cackling scrawly rhythms
Singing in tongues
The twohead in one.
Then a man crossed their path
Because he didn’t know,
So they saw their big chance
And aimed at him.
So.
His bloodless eyes stared
Blankly back at them all,
And at his last
At the last
Joe
Did
Know.
