Love and Glitter, Hot Days and Music

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, Friday evening! It's still light when you leave work, you're carrying your coat over your arm and the shop keepers all prominently display their Ben and Jerry's assortments when they see you coming. It can only mean that Summer is here.

So home for an evening of sitting on the backstep, putting bouncy music annoyingly loudly on the WMP and seeing if this is the year I manage to convert all the children in my road to Gnostic Satanism.

Aaaah, lady Helen of Love...

He’s been under medication and heavy sedation,
Since Kula Shaker came along,
‘Cos he couldn’t believe everyone in the world,
Liked their songs

He made a bouncing bomb from his chemistry set
And he left it in the hall of the band’s soundcheck

But now things are better, the birds are singing
And the sky is summer-blue
He’s got Atari Teenage Riot on his music centre
In a home with a beautiful view
I know he’s getting better cos he’s getting excited
Telling everyone he hates Man United

Baby I love you, Baby I love you, Baby I love you, Baby I love you,
Does your heart go boom, Does your heart go boom,
Does your heart, does your heart, does your heart go boom,
Baby I love you, You make my heart go boom

He’s been under medication and under sedation,
Since Bush came speeding along,
‘Cos he couldn’t believe how those long-haired boys,
Could make those up-tempo, toe-tapping, happy songs

He got a tank from the pages of the Western Mail,
That he fired at the stage every time they played

But now things are better, the birds are singing,
And the sky is summer-blue,
He’s got Atari Teenage Riot on his music center,
In a home with a beautiful view,
I know he’s getting better cos he’s getting excited,
He’s the number one star and I think he’s delighted

Baby I love you, Baby I love you, Baby I love you, Baby I love you,
Does your heart go boom, Does your heart go boom,
Does your heart, does your heart, does your heart go boom,
Baby I love you

"Streeeets like a jungle..."

...And I got paid yesterday! It's like God's saying "Yeah, I admit, I fucked you over for the first few months of this year, have a lovely Friday evening as an apology."

It'll do, for a start...
