A Past Gone Mad

Serial killers were always a bore in my book
Along with spangles and soccer books.
Rid us of old fogeys
Scuttling and swerving over the roads
Comma
Kids in pubs.
Passable
Why is pete gabriel always following us?
And before the grub comes a moralist
Dissonance of infotainment
A past gone mad!
Alive and wellhe is on all channels
[kiki dee]
Dwelling in craven environment
If I ever end up like ian mcshane* slit my throat with a kitchen tool
And if I ever end up like u2 slit my throat with a garden vegetable
A past gone mad
Passable
Take a look back
Rear-view mirror: it's all behind you
A present gone mad
Tra-tra-lafollowtrack that lava
