I hear the ticking of the clock

I'm lying here the room's pitch dark

I wonder where you are tonight

No answer on the telephone...

 

 

[GHA EFM]

The door was open so she lay down on the rug.

'You policemen, you do too many drugs.'

She took her shirt off and said 'this is a bust.'

I put my hands up but got trampled in the rush...

Bloody hell, there's too birds having a right good snog just outside my window!!

 

 

[GHA EFM]

When you say birds...?

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Loosely termed.

 

One of them, when I eventually copped a look at her face, looked like she may have failed auditions for Prisoner Cell Block H for being too ugly.
