I'm tired and drunk, it's two in the morning
I've popped a hot water bottle in bed
And now, though so late, before retiring,
I am by sonnetary duty led
I have to write fourteen lines from my head
Though it's barely functioning, it is screwed
Back from Liverpool, where I had been led
To the Academy, musical food
Served up by Electric Six, though not crewed
By the original line-up. Taking
Me back to Manchester, the train then fed
Me to an extremely cold night. I moved
As quickly as I could through the shopping
Centre, now closed, heading towards Salford
Oh I like the Electric Six. I was just talking bout them the other day to Matt, he said he likes them too. Loving the rhymes and word stretching 'screwed' and 'crewed'.
ReplyDeleteWhy thankyou ma'am! Yeah, i loved the album - actually the one I like least is Danger High Voltage - it's funny but it doesn't really get going enough for me. they didn't do that one because there was no woman in the band anymore. They only did two or three i recognised in fact - altho I was well out of it so can't be sure!
