I Am Spongebob

Star shaped washing up sponge
Wants to be a flower
Looks like a star
Baby hot water bottle
Like a baby penguin
It just popped out
You don’t wanna know me yet you stalk me
On twitter
What a freak
Not so chic
But oh well doesn’t matter
‘Cause you’re a doctor
Fed up of it all
Seeing what you’re doing to my family
Can’t bear to see her in so much pain
All this shit is driving me insane
Life is one tough cookie to crack
To break and crumble
Like caramelised biscuits into tea
All wrapped up
But it’s cold inside
Need a heater for my nose
Need to take advantage of these sacred 10 days
Constant prayers
For those loved and lost
For those that have lost and loved
And for my 2 mothers
Who without, I don’t know what I’d do
It’s like all my life you said “Be a shoe!
But what if I don’t wanna be a shoe?
What if I wanna be a hat?”
It’s a damn metaphor
The only thing that cheers me up when I’m feeling like this
Important meetings tomorrow
First friend to turn 23
That’ll soon be me
Eeek
Meeting Patrick too
‘Cause you see I am actually Spongebob
The Great
The Mighty
The Yellow
London on Tuesday
I think so
Oh Gary Barlow
I see your face staring up at me from the floor
Like Rasputin
Let me just put my sister to bed
And we’ll talk.

Menopause

Life is my coffin
Alone, cold, being eaten by maggots
Any which way you turn you see darkness
Any which way you turn you get bitten
Better to be alone init
Rather than break free and sin it
Wasteman sitting there with his arm around next gyal
Pulling her in with his poisonous wrath
I got myself reeled in too
The hooks still in my mouth
Wanna pull it out ‘n’ dash it at his head
Oh Joe, you’re such a hoe
But a man with a challa just does it for me
I’m weird like that
No-one will ever get me
Why do so many just come and go
I wanna scream
Walk that beam
Fall off the edge
Hit my head on glass
Smoke a bit of grass
I’m a rabbit
Follow me down the hole
People dressed up as devils
Why make it obvious
There’s a devil inside us all
Towards the light you crawl
Ah but the light isn’t light
It’s fire
Ha, he got you didn’t he
Connect the cuts, connect the cuts
Doesn’t make sense
My voice is breaking
Just hit puberty
Way past puberty
Awaiting the menopause
I fuckin’ miss my spoon
Such a frikkin goon
Stick to me
Only then I’ll be free
Just me and my invisible friend
All friendship is invisible anyway
Saw those people from the past
Sheesha Lounge Cheetham Hill
Bare memories bruv, bare memories
Dancing and singing
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
Seeing people do big things
I’m proud
Gotta stand out from the crowd
It’s Halloween
Nah it ain’t
You people act like it’s Christmas already
But Santa’s an undercover alcoholic
All dressed in green
Ah shit mate, you just removed my spleen
It doesn’t even hurt no more
Just a sense of...
N...O...T...H...I...N...G...N...E...S...S.

Silver Sickle

Cheese and pickle
Lost my silver sickle
I ain’t no muggle
That’s why this whole thing’s such a struggle
Gotta get up to get down
Turn that frown into a smile
Turn that smile into a frown
Gotta steal her Majesty’s crown
You see, it’s cold outside
And my feet are cold
It’s a sign of the times
I’m getting old           
Need to book my theory
And do a hella other shit
Right now though I dunno what’s up with me
Life’s a giant Nagini pit
Want my letter to Hogwarts too
There’s more to life than just
t...h...i...s...

Fed up of the same ol’ same ol’
Pile of steamin’ great ish
Everything’s so different now
I’m so disappointed with me
Should have achieved all that typical stuff by now
What the hell happened to me
He stands at the door
With his phone in his hand
Want a ‘Chunky Chicken’
Yes please

Sleaze
Get on your knees
Arrgh it hurts
Stop hurting me
My minds a vortex
Let me suck you in
Can be pretty grim
I warned you though
Weddings ‘n’ stuff
All excited ‘n’ stuff
But reminds me of the happy ending I’ll never have
Was thinking about him today
Actually shed a tear
Can’t believe I’ve known him 7 years
Don’t wanna be like the tramp couple
Who sat next to me on the bus
Husband reeking of alcohol
Wife screaming about puss-
-y, and all the women her husband had shagged
Like we wanna know that shit

Don’t get me all depressed
Thinking about our plans for India
Angel makes me happy
Got the same passions as me in life
We just gotta make it happen
A convoy in Goa
Adventure in Milan
Lifetime in New York
And an eternity in Jannah
Insha’Allah.

Won The Lottery

Hopped up off the sofa
Tripped on next mans swag
Maybe if I’d tied my shoelaces
I wouldn’t be here today
I’ve got loads to say
To a whole lotta people
But what’s the point
And what’s up
Yeahhhhhh
Maybe in another life
I will be your girl
I’ll always be your girl
We both know it
Sometimes the attitude pisses me off though
We ain’t all as fortunate as you
It happened to Sai and Amira
The same thing that happened to me
Sometimes one of those little buggers just gets through
And you’re left calling yourself Christian
Except I'm not a gay man
And I'm Muslim, not Christian
Don’t know what to feel anymore
So I’ll carry on stroking my friends shalwar
Wedding clashes and chocolate brownies
Oh what to do?
OMG I think my mate just won the lottery
Interrupted my typing
LOL
Just checked, he didn’t win shit
Funny, funny guy
Back to today
Good V Evil
He misses his Dad too
Raavan and Jeevan
We got a DJ called that
And there’s all these media plans being made without consultation
I’m bare confused bruv
At least my writing’s being appreciated
I used to be a mango
Perched high upon that banana tree
One day you’ll see me
Chewing on the grass.

Mr Muscle

Hey apple
Stop looking at me
My head hurts
My heart hurts
My eyes hurt
Meh
Even my tooth hurts
I can be such a drama queen
At least I’m not like that god-damned fiend
I hear that Scottish Chris left too
And the other one wasn’t in
Pretending to be sick
Aha they’re all missing me really
Even old Kath and glasses waali Shirley
Cleaned out the fridge and gave it to my aunt
Like cleaning away memories
With Mr Muscle spray
He does the hard work so you don’t have to
What a lie though
‘Cause he doesn’t have to sit here
And cope with all these memories
Good memories even hurt
Like too tight buttons at the top of your shirt
Squeezing your neck ‘til your face goes blue
I was actually looking forward to getting to know Stu
Red light keeps flashing
Spit keeps on splashing
Time keeps on dashing
Away from my fingertips
Writing about cars
And content for the site
Allah gives us talent, with his amazing might
It’s up to us what we do with it
Use it
Utilise it
Do good with it
We all have the power within us to change the world
Don’t abuse it
You choose init
The right path or the wrong one
Depends on your perception
Like inception
A dream within a dream within a dream
I sit here silently with my mouth closed and my eyes open
And I scream
Can anybody hear me?
Ah, fuck it
I’m fine
I'll be okay
There’s a shortbread cookie with my name on it
Better go get it
It must be in my kismet.

Mustard-Coloured Shoes

Is it coz I is paki
Or is it coz I is black
Nah it’s more the fact that I’m paki
That’s why you gave me the sack
A sack of potatoes
I’ma throw at your head
And they mummified Alan
All dead in his bed
God rest his soul
If only he knew
The things in death
That the body goes through
I need a job
I got things to do
But I gotta get paid
The way others gotta get laid
But mate that’s bare shadey
I didn’t do owt
Just ‘cause of the mustard coloured shoes
And you threw me out
Oh well, I guess I gotta be my own boss
I wanna be my own boss
Homosexual Nick owes me a tenner
Not gonna let you people steal from me
It’s funny that you don’t let people just be
Gotta be one
All the same
Some weird kind of sick twisted ‘corporate’ game
Got things to do
Time to be a holiday rep
Or go to that wedding next week and just be a tep
Oh shit, I forgot Eid’s coming up
Better book myself a stall
‘n’ then there’s the Mehndi in Sanam Banquet Hall
I need to be in London
The city that actually does sleep
Or roam around and find myself a sheep
Not in that way
Blud, I’m not gay
Just need to pray
‘Cause Allah guides
In disguise
Keep looking
Keep searching
He’s there
Gonna miss Jess
And the Borrowers Borrowers in the tiny training room
Guess this goes to show
That I really am
“more than just a driver”...
I told you so.

A* Student

Glad I’m not alone
Not the only weirdo out there
Not really weird
Just the kind to make life more interesting
PING!!!
Still asleep
Midnight roti salan
Imagine I’d died
No-one would have even checked
That’s quite sad actually
I’ma hashtag your face
Think about that little group
Inside that little room
Inside the sellotape holder
Maybe one day they’ll be like us
“More than just a driver” too
I hope so
In my dreams she told me not to worry
So who cares I haven’t graduated yet
Next year Insha’Allah
I argue with myself though
I’m an A* student
What happened to me
Ah don’t worry
I’m still gonna be someone
And even if you don’t know my name
I’m gonna be me
You’ll see
It’s clearly getting to me though
Even though I know
That everything happens for a reason
I should be on Young Apprentice
Though I’m not young anymore
Nearly 23
So scary
Not celebrating anymore
No point really
Need to clear the mess
Clear my mind
I shouldn’t be right here, right now
Lying on a beach
Underneath the stars
Inside my head anyway
Chickpeas and potatoes
Shouted at for wearing shorts
Oh how I love working corporately
And being an Asian.

Golden Goose Feathers

I predict an Earthquake up in here
Labrinth was right
Turkey got hit
That’s some deep shit
Gotta pray for these people
They’re OUR people
Gotta stick together
Instead of breaking tethers
Golden goose feathers
Thank you for visiting me in my sleep
You brought Jalebis
I miss you so much
Still can’t believe you’re gone
She won’t let us grieve for you
I won’t forget you
Those other dreams are driving me crazy though
She needs to piss off
Like I give a fuck if she’s getting married
But if she’s marrying him then they both take the piss
Sleeping with your best mate behind your back
Yet calling you her best mate
Fucked up shit right there
But bitches be hoes
The bitterness grows
I told her it was wrong
I got screwed in the process
LOL
Leave me here in my lego house
Don’t need none of this
I’ll be happy
Just me
And He
N the right person will come along when He knows your ready
I’m just not ready
That’s all
Here today, gone tomorrow
Like Sami, ‘cause Louis is a twat
But that’s bullshit music
We need real music
Like Lowkey
21st November baby
Can’t wait
Nah, don’t hate
Appreciate
I miss my monkey toes
Need to go to London
Now, Paul Frank monkey on my bag
Stop laughing at me
Else I shall destroy you
I won’t really
You’re just too cute.

Sugar Chandelier



It's one of those days
More like one of those lives

Yesterday we talked about having 7 wives
More like 4
Why can’t I have 4 husbands?
That’s not fair
Less men in the world now anyway
We need more lesbians and less gays
Make it even init
Tumble-dry it, spin it
Be in it to win it
Or is it all about the journey
Don’t stop believing
People don’t stop scheming
There’s a Jinn inside her
Trying to sway her
Play her
Driving insane her
And all of us
Clutch control needs some work
But we laughed like fools
Because I am “more than just a driver”
Haha, John Lewis gives me joke
Then again Peter Griffin gives me joke
Stewie is my saviour
Scraping metal legs
Against other metal legs
Come on now, there’s space for all of us
Being a woman and wearing heels
Doesn’t mean you gotta be a woman that
Giggles and squeals
42 years of Corrie today
Rosie Webster’s all grown up
Rather sketty, I’d say
Good friends, best friends
I hope he doesn’t think it’s more than that
Got a cat in my hat
Oh what to do
I need my socks
Pink and blue
Sugar chandelier smashed to pieces
Portrays everything really
You work so hard
And it falls to pieces in front of your eyes
Too many spies
Fake facebook friends
Bullshit twitter topic trends
The end is nigh
You ain’t seen nothing yet
Alcoholic reverts
Muslim perverts
It’s a balancing act
Can’t deny solid fact
That’s your choice
But open your mind
Free your thoughts
Who cares about threats and taunts
And you’re never alone if you like the person you’re alone with
So love yourself
Trust yourself
Guns & Roses
A pocket full of poses
We all fall down
Who will rise though?
Raas, Tulisa’s got bare attitude
Going off her
Perfect example though
Of going from this to that
Just wanna be me
It’s a shame that all you see
Is violence in movies
And sex on TV.

Potatoes Will Potate

Haters gon’ hate
Potatoes gon’ potate
The bastard’s dead
Let’s celebrate
Nah man, you don’t celebrate death
Indeed
Celebrate liberation
An entire generation
The Libyans rejoice
I pray for their peace
Insha’Allah
Up and down Wimy Road bro
Out in full force bro
None of this blasting music
Driving up and down for no reason bro
Allah bless them
Mickey’s got his thumbs up
Tapas Spanish grubs up
Writings on the wall
And a message in a bottle
Things ain’t gonna change
What about the rest of the waste
What about Palestine?
What about Gaza?
What about Somalia
And our brothers and sisters in Pakistan?
Afghanistan?
Everyone’s fucked up
Like they’re all smoking crack
I keep falling asleep
‘cause her voice flippin’ BORES me
Where’s the excitement?
The fun?
Where are peoples personalities?
I see what they’re doing
Uniformed people
Uniform society
Social moulding
Bitches be yodelling
Modelling
Grovelling
Well they should be
Ya Allah, don’t leave me
I need you
Don’t leave me
Ri-Ri’s got a new video out
Too sick, too sick
But still highlights the fact that the world is a prick
Makes me sick
Oh what’s on TV?
Watchdog
Dogging watches about banks and holidays
Holiday company screwed me over
Actually my ‘sister’ did more
They just broke the law
I told you the world is fucked up
Stop yo, shit, that’s raw.
