VERBATIM
VOMIT
A lovely long lascivious list
Of the words of oppression that still exist
Spoken from mouths that have no brains to relate
They say their speeches of love and think their thoughts of hate
And others merely curious who unwittingly be
A window to the world's ideology
Dehumanizing questions into objects we're turned
They don't mean no harm mate and the fire still burns
They want to burn away the chaff, perfect society
I'm OK if I have a laff at my disability
Well hardy ha ha, my arms are so short!
forgive me if I don't die laughing at this thought
Sometimes I laugh sometimes I'm sick and I shall now muse on it
Poeple, prepare to be entertained by my vomit-
"Never mind, ay love, you've still got your legs
Shag you? I want the pint of beer, pal, not the fuckin' dregs
Listen mate your sweet yeah, but don't talk out of place
Looking at your arms makes me sick, but you've got quite a nice face
My Mum almost took Thalidomide, but she didn't, so I was O.K.
Didn't you used to be that one armed juggler, from that Cabaret?
Aah, poor dear, dear God it's a cryin' shame
You can get yourself a drink, so you're ahead of the game
I think your'e really great; an inspiration to us all
Not quite what we're looking for, but if your'e gigging, give us a call
It's not your arms, it's your attitude that keeps you apart from us
'Ad a bloke with one leg hop into me taxi once, 'kin marvellous
I really like him a lot, but I'd be so embarrassed if he made a pass
Oi! Short arms you fuckin freak, how d'you wipe your'e arse?
Your'e that Thalidomide drummer! Well done mate, good for you
Do you shake hands? Oh dear, I don't know what to do
I don't really think it's a suitable job for someone with your needs
Watching you pick up that bag was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
How d'you fuck? D'you have to lie on the bottom when you're having sex?
I love you Mat in a way that wants to make me protect"
Protect. My defect. I select. To reject.
Oh round and round and on and on it goes but let's hop off
This cathartic carousel that mixes to a froth
A toxic foam of phrases that are my environment
Don't worry, be happy that my spleen I can vent
Cos if I didn't have an outlet for this shit it could be worse
There are other ways of waking these feeling into verse
The one I feel most drawn to is more honest in its approach
Than the weasel words of wankers demanding humour who encroach
It does involve an ouzi nine millimetre gun
But watch me laugh as I spray the fuckers, yeah, I'm havin' loads of fun!
"God your'e good at skinning up, your'e even better than me
I suppose you have to sit down, when you're havin a pee?
Wow, what was that man, Thalidomide? Phew, Heavy drug
You see that the wonder of velcro, all you have to do is give it a tug
Aren't you clever what you can do; have you got any sisters or brothers?
It's terrible what happened there, I bet you're angry with your Mother
I went to skool with a bloke like you, everyone called him "Spastic"
I could chop the sleeves and round the hem, sew in some strong elastic"
Thalidomatastic x4.
