Behind The Rubbish Skip

Met an Angel
Behind a rubbish skip
We talked some shit
Did a little dance or two
Then went our separate ways
And sometimes I wonder
If they were still alive
Would things be how they were
Before they went and died
I’m not even allowing my demons
To take me back to Pakistan
‘Cause that one night of tears
Aged me many years
I couldn’t believe the things I heard
But at least my heart is a little tamer
There’s a disclaimer
Read the small print
I bruise easily
Ha
Fuck that
No I don’t
Things happen one day
I’m over it by the next
Well you gotta be really
‘cause that’s no way to live your life
It’s great to see good friends
With their dreams coming true
And I believe in them
They’re only very few
But that’s cool
‘cause we ain’t gonna be around too long
Just want people to remember the name
Before I depart and I'm gone
I wonder what it’s like to die
I imagine many things
And I question things too much
But I remember how they used to say to me when I was a kid
An intelligent child asks a lot
These fuckers think I’m lost
They don’t know man, they don’t know
Let me stir my melting pot
Wanna throw in all kinds of colour
A little blue, little red, little brown,
A bit of him, bit of her, bit of me
It’s about unity
And yeah the world pisses me off
I tell you all the time
It ain’t a crime to want some change
Not your copper pennies though
I want actual CHANGE
Banksy is a G
Wanna shake his hand
Take off my hat
Maybe do a little curtsy
One day though
I see you bowing down to me
Maybe I’ll find that Angel waiting for me
Behind another rubbish skip
Maybe we'll play Scrabble or something
but maybe this time I'll win.
