Essex Dogs

                                  I remember thinking murder in the car

Watching dogs somersault

Through sprinkles on tiny laws

I remember the graffiti, we are your children

Coming in with spray cans of paint

I remember the sunset and the plains of cement

And the way the nights seems to turn the color

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'll get kicked tonight

Smell of puke and piss

Smell of puke and piss on your stilettos



Here comes the panic attack

My heart stops then starts

Give me a drink

I'll drink your round

I'll take you round the pole

It's cold up here

You'll catch the flu or you'll catch the city

Either way, you'll catch the flu

Or you'll catch the city
