Shift

Shift

I'm ill.
Bloody ill,
And those freaks upstairs will put me to sleep forever if this carries
on.
The Carpenters, Brenda Lee and Cliff Richard.
I could kill Howard Keel.
I requested 'A Hard Days Night' but they played 'Yellow
Submarine',
Then they played 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' by the
Stones.
Teasing bastards.

They won't let me get excited, but today I'm ignited.
Today I'm gonna do them.
Those four eyed chinless have a nice day charity t-shirted
wonders.
Just Wait.

Gonna break in round midnight.
Armed with nothing more than Funk, Blues, Jazz and jokes.
Gonna play 'Sex Machine' by James Brown for the vasectomy ward,
Kings without a crown.
Gonna play 'Boom Boom' by John Lee Hooker,
For the boy who tried to top himself in his mothers gas cooker.
He ran out of change.
And gonna play 'A Love Supreme' by John Coltrane for Nurse
Curren,
Keymaster and Angel of the sane.

I'll be in there forever.
They'll have to kill me to get me out.
I'm going that way anyway.
So why bother.

This will be my last gig,
And it gonna be big.
Don't worry I'll play some vinyl for us.
'My Funny Valentine' by Miles Davis.
Do you remember those old days Valentine?
You and me pirate queens of the night shift scene.
Do you remember?
