this party's seething, it's a
full-scale tenement cacophony
ten minutes in and i know
the way it's going to pan out from here.
this scene's the usual drill -
so many voices, nothing to say
we move from space to space
but always seem to be standing still.
we check the dos and the don'ts
in your quick-fix style supplement,
make our plans to meet up
and do something substantial.
we talk about this sound and that
and i say, turn me on to something special,
and all the jet-set is here
just like we were this time last year.
it's how you know you've arrived -
when you're coming up on a sinking trip,
the old familiar signs
holding you down as the CD skips.
and through it all we remain
just scattered pieces in the one place
new buzz - it's clever to clash
and anything goes these days.
