toothpaste is beer taste

what a dull poem
bureaucracy disconnect

beer taste is toothpaste

lust
i forgot the how
a detest effect
this species' ware

toothpaste is beer taste

i left my cat
in san francisco
and then the cornflakes would not fight
i left their nest a frightful site

old peoples' bars

two weeks ago

a girl a splash
an alex harvey album

and confer the same bad

wanneer zal ik gaan
de stadt
dit land

tijd geeft
dezelfde fauten

mijn cover est französisch
non

je n'ai pas in ce pays
a bought up

and confer the same bad
dezeflde en slechte

remeasure their pond

now an empire of pissing peasents
themselves in their bollox alick
in their eyes cheesewire
their choice

do you wanna dance

wann soll ich fahre
ou est de pays

no wind

do you wanna dance
sang like the smell
a burst sewer'd sing
