lyrics

where i live, just a few streets away
could be seen as a separate world
there's a cling film screen dropped in between
those pent up and those grossly unfurled

as the worldwide campaigns still expand,
here a good boy is stabbed and abandoned
a partition wall thrown up around
each ambition and longed for horizon

in a stupid manor

oh i know you had nothing
and then they took that away
but you've still got a mind of your own
so don't lead my son astray

take a fingernail up to that screen
make a fissure and gently expand it
find the thing that you're good at again
something worldly and less solipsistic

in the postcode that sustains us

let's not fall for divide and rule again
unite against the real enemy
let's lift our heads from graffitti strewn desks
and scream
