lyrics

A HOME UNDONE

Wax work politicians
Paper thin slogans
Glass eyed celebs
On wide comfy sofas
Auto cues Regurgitating breakfast
Chewed up has beens
Disappear Down Orifice Dale
Up the cul-de -sac
The City’s just for work and back
Chat to Pat about Tuesday’s bins
While the television’s listening in
Ergonomic kettles
A mixture of precious metals
Sweeping up dead leaves
Damp proofing…
Let the music play on
From the commercial radio
Spewed into bewildered middle aisles
Soft home furnishings
Falsifying need
Arguing the toss with energy providers
A chain of furiously robotic emails and automated responses
Seething missed calls from unknown numbers
The chemical water filtered glacier crisp
The condensation
The twitchers and the early mornings
Hand scrawled notes from delusional postmen
Smoothies that stick between the teeth
The neighbourhood lunatic screams at an SUV
That creaking gate
The baby stroller’s awkward mate

Up in the attic of detritus
Postcards from the future sent back to haunt (warn) us
Appliances and unread manuals
Styrofoam and moth bitten clothes
Menus from take ways long closed
Manifestos for the status quo
Regional crime stats
Snotty kids sitting SATs
Screen time and yoga mats
Deep fried vegans
Rechargeable humans
Holidays go unbooked
Dry rot goes overlooked
Re Plastering short cuts
Eye rolls, sighs, tuts
Lost between growth spurts and endless visitors
Monthly instalments and lazy solicitors
Where the silent war is lost and won
A home undone.
