How I Wrote Elastic Man |
I’m eternally grateful |
To my past influences |
But they will not free me |
I am not diseased |
All the people ask me |
How I wrote «Elastic Man» |
Life should be full of strangeness |
Like a rich painting |
But it gets worse day by day |
I’m a potential DJ |
A creeping wreck |
A mental wretch |
Everybody asks me |
How I wrote «Elastic Man» |
His soul hurts though it’s well filled up |
The praise received is mentally sent back |
Or taken apart |
The Observer magazine just about sums him up |
E.g. |
self-satisfied, smug |
I’m living a fake |
People say, «You are entitled to and great.» |
But I haven’t wrote for 90 days |
I’ll get a good deal and I’ll go away |
Away from the empty brains that ask |
How I wrote «Elastic Man» |
His last work was «Space Mystery» in the Daily Mail |
An article in Leather Thighs |
The only thing real is waking and rubbing your eyes |
So I’m resigned to bed |
I keep bottles and comics stuffed by its head |
Fuck it, let the beard grow |
I’m too tired |
I’ll do it tomorrow |
The fridge is sparse |
But in the town |
They’ll stop me in the shops |
Verily they’ll track me down |
Touch my shoulder and ignore my dumb mission |
And sick red faced smile |
And they will ask me |
And they will ask me |
How I wrote «Elastic Man» |
