Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 13

Today is Thursday, the 14th of June 2018

Another day... Another time... Another mistake... With announcement...

And I can already hear the animal complain... This is not this... This is not that... But I have reason. I am doing this because of... reasons...


"Bromford Dogs"

I remember thinking murder in the car
Watching dogs somersault through sprinklers on tiny lawns
I remember the graffiti
We are your children coming near you with spray cans of paint
I remember the sunset and the plains of cement
And the way the night just seemed
To turn the colour of Orangeade
In this town, cellular phones are hot with thieves
In this town, we all go to terminal pubs
It helps us sweat out those angry bits of life
From this town, the English Army grind their teeth to glass
You know you'll get a kicking tonight
Smell of puke and piss
The smell of puke and piss on your stilettos

Here comes that panic attack
My heart stops ... and then starts
Give me a drink
I'll drink your round
I'll take you 'round the pole
It's cold up here (I see the universe)
You'll catch the flu or you'll catch the city (Waiting by a minibus)
Either way, you'll catch the flu or you'll catch the city

  1. Essex ... a county, not a city. Once it was a kingdom. :-P
