Consumer Electronics - Crowd Pleaser

Hand To Mouth

Good to see you in your best-behaviour clothes

but best to steer clear of that cheap erotic mind

promising vile yellow nothings

and a right little tight little stunt fuck

another wily leech keen to touch you up

and take a stinky stab at all that's soft and holy

What's got you gulping down the grease

and the odour of mating and trojan mischief?

Something tumbling out the toybox

some determined nudger you met at work

promising k-hole protection

and some day one day soon

Or was it that hit-and-run northern zombie?

Staring at blank TV

surrounded by videos

you could just tell we're in the wrong boxes

daisy-chaining on the dog-shelf with everything on mute

the stage set and paved solid with rubbers and tar

Because you're haunted and battered

because of dwindling resources

because of their babylon mothers

because pretty pastels look good

now that's something been taken

now that's something not coming back

just keep chasing yourself again

taken for a ride on the swings

tell me everything you see

and what you think it means.
