That's Entertainment

(album: Standards And Practices - 1999)

a police car and a screaming siren a pnuematic drill and ripped up concrete a baby waiting and stray dog howling the screech of brakes and lamplights blinking that's entertainment. a smash of glass and the rumble of boots an electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat lights going out and a kick in the balls that's entertainment. days of speed and slow time mondays pissing down with rain on a boring wednesday watching the news and not eating your tea a freezing cold flat and damp on the walls that's entertainment. waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning opening the windows and breathing in petrol an amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard watching the tele and thinking about your holidays that's entertainment. waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume a hot summers' day and sticky black tarmac feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were faraway that's entertainment. two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude getting a cab and travelling on buses reading the grafitti about slashed seat affairs that's entertainment.
