Somebody said
I'm not sure who told me,
But somebody told me
Down past the wildlife identification plaque
On Saturday night,
Everyone is staying at each other's houses
Sneaking out,
Out into the thicket
And the fox gloves and the rhododendrons
Bending back
For the breaking glass
Of fake drugs and bonfire ash
What, go to the woods
On Saturday night?
Push the branches back
And have a real cool time in the forest
Under canvas I suppress
The sick feeling of anxiety
Well maybe I could navigate myself
Into somebody's body?
She'll be lounging in the embers
Everyone remembers
How she sought me out after deflection
I'm not ready now
But maybe Saturday night
In the cave
We will paint some evidence of erection
What if, like, something, like, goes wrong?
Are there instructions for getting the condom on?
I tried myself once and the stench made me feel feint
And I fell back and I lay shaking on the bed
What, go to the woods
On Saturday night?
Push the branches back
And have a dead good time in the forest
Sticky tin in tow and does my mother
Or my father know
Where I am
(I'm not even sure)
I see your fingers on the forest floor
I was so uptight on Wednesday night
Well, that afternoon
You approached him with the copy
I was ill with jealousy
All through Coronation Street
But then I was fine
After a bit, I was alright
Where are you supposed to go to the toilet?
That's what I got dead scared about
So I didn't eat that morning
Which meant by the second bottle
Of sickly crisp Copenhagen lager
The woods was already spinning
The woods was already spinning
The woods was already spinning
What, go to the woods
On Saturday night?
Push the branches back
And have a real cool time in the forest
What, go to the woods
On Saturday night?
Push the branches back
And have a real cool time in the forest
(Repeat ad nauseam)

Bottle Bank

I bet he thinks he's James Bond
With his protein shake
We both know I stir you
I bear you
We both know what happened
In the undergrowth last night
If only he knew
That the bargain perfume he bought for you
Would ensnare somebody new
I won't forget that second glance
At the bottle bank
I plummet like transparent glass
And I smash
At the bottle bank
This is proper love sickness
I can only see the spaces between the words
This is cold compresses in the living room
"Thanks very much"
Watching The Sweeney on ITV 4
I want to drown in your patchouli oil
I want to propagate your soil and then after
Maybe meet your mum and dad?
I won't forget that second glance
No thanks
At the bottle bank
Enveloped in the smell of the recycling plant
Dead rank
At the bottle bank
New Years Eve 2008
Couldn't get a grasp on the shape
The angles in Eastenders were all weird
Phil Daniels talking fast and slow
Fast and slow at once
I remember your scent
I remember what you said
When you said
"Do you want to come round"
I don't know what you meant
But it could have been good
