New lyric excerpts

nothappynotsad

Snapping necks and cashing checks
Neal Cassady Drops Dead
“And Allen Ginsberg’s ‘Howl’ becomes a growl”
"The little fella has got rubella"

Staircase At The University
“You're no child of mine, and as far as I'm concerned you're dead"
“Your shame is sure to stain the family name"

Kiss Me A Lot
"Bastille mausoleum, stockyard, your mammy's backyard"

Mountjoy
"I was sent here by a three-foot half-wit in a wig"
“Rich or poor, we all lose”

I’m Not A Man
"Slow joes who signed up to go"
"You are the solider who won’t get much older"
"Wolf down t-bone steaks, wolf down cancer of the prostate"
"I’m something much bigger and better than a man"

Oboe Concerto
"And he spoke with his voice while he talked with his mouth"
"The older generation have tried, sighed & died which pushes me to their place in the queue"
"Round, round the rhythm of life goes round"
