A Ballard of Sorrows Morning Breakfast

Tea on the balcony is forever scalding hot
and seagulls fly past eating leftover fish and chips
what memories does one store in their forgetmenot box
I tried bacon with eggs but the salad refused its dressing
Obscene words conveyed a blessing on big business men in suits
And working class people built sky scraper pyramids
Whilst pertinant property developers fiddled and burned

I find it hard to work out whether it is raining or shining
so I asked the local current affair program to set me straight
I became very depressed with their answer about death and war
City scandals gathered together at Town Hall for compulsory voting
Politics confuses me as I always though Democracy was for individuals
Boy was I wrong so i went back to skool to learn how to write
Now I Know everything for teacher made me Dux of my class

And I revelled in praise and an article was written on me

for I wore fame well in my pappazzi glass house...

who cares if I took drugs or had an erotic episode

It was all in the pictures for my fans to keep and see

One day I might write a true auto biography about my imaginary life
