from leery
ii
userer hangs the covener
elektricitee gas water nuclear fools
road rail jails airlines & th sky
aa owned em all up into hills o wales
n walkin cross them reservoirs aa wz collosus
holdin back billions o gallons if aad let go
th villages below wd hav bin washt away
ma boys flyin th valleys as aa pisst a triumphal arch
good english cider burstin from th vat
jets out trainin wd salute me back
aye aa controlled it all
now aam @ er majisteys pleasure
wonderin wat sheyal make o me
iii
fie, foh and fum, i smell the blood
each day wz guerrilla warfare
on ma knees in the playground o hate
teachers holdin mugs o sweet tea
looked on thru reinforced glass
as ma ribs cracked yu pulled knife
forced em back we talked o garrottes
cheesewire taut til tongues popped
lost child ov albion shiny w/ tears
anthrax stains yr crumbling core
we fucked in fields ov blood & bone
now fertiliser is laced w/ paraffin
a fist ov semtex in suburban litterbins
bomb dropped inta cauldron ov discontent
th co-ordinates on coded maps
are yr streets & railway stations
yr loved ones & yr homes
