Woke up, wrote it in 20 minutes - pen barely left the page - don't think i changed a word.Then wrote music around it which is the reverse of what i usually do. Playing to my weaknesses.

Lyrics
We hide inside
Entertain our eyes
Is it tears or sighs ?
Readjust our thighs
Thoughts take a detour -
Munch on the lure of forbidden pies
Scratch my balls
Hear the calls of the children's cries
Should i answer the phone?
Press repeat or delete ?
Quite a feat - multi tasking when you're on your own
With the choices - when voices dispute in you zone
Would you please come round
To the delusion that we are bound
By the laws of the sound
That dictates that we hate to negate anything that requires thinking
And conclude, that the only way forward
Is to keep, keep, keep,
Flickin' around
Flick, flick,
Flick, flick,
Flickin' around
Its the journey we require
To converse and conspire
With a box of disclosed delights
Of bloated, allegedly misquoted
Sugar coated shite
Rhyming fashion with Kardashian-
The' new cigarette'
To appease the poor of regret
That they would of had the chance to embrace
The modern romance of a bourgeois fantasy
See all the colours of a new mind set
Call you honey, call me pet
Walk to the bedroom
Down the hall
Take a bow
The rise and fall
Of a systematic nation
That if there is no change
There is no degradation
So if you don't mind
I will slump into this honorary composite
Of what it means to be
And sit, in the land of you and i
Flick, flick, flickin' around
Flick, flick,
Flick,flick
Flickin' around
Synchronised in mutual thigh adjusting
Thrusting forward energetically
Dispatching thoughts dispassionately
About the scenes in front of you and me
Of who you would and wouldn't be
The price of stock celebrity
And i think i'm coming round
To an appreciation of the sound of silence
In defiance, of a species
That requires to just
Keep, keep, keep,
Flickin' around
Flck,flick,
Flick,flick
Flickin' around.........
