marina
sitting in her twilight glory
singing of the lost
telling tales of wonderwalls
and how to pay the cost
it's a little bit ugly
a little bit sad
it's a time for confidences
with friends i never had
marina's speaking of the devil
asks me if i've got a joint
would i like some tea
ask her what she's running from
she just smiles at me
it's a little bit crazy
a little bit sad
it's a time for confidences
with friends i've never had
marina's speaking of the devil
marina's speaking of the devil
should i sing a lullaby
is your crib too hard
sleep now my little darling
i'll try to stand on guard
it's a little bit lovely
a little bit sad
it's a time for confidences
with friends i've never had
marina's speaking
marina's speaking
marina's speaking
yeah she's speaking yeah she's speaking
of the devil

almost september
jackfruit and mango
sing your summer song
'cause i'm dreaming of december again
wish it were two days from christmas
and three steps from home
most of all i wish to see you again
you called up to tell me
your father just died
it didn't really make a difference
but you broke down and cried
now it's almost september
and soon we can rest
don't you think that would be best
i guess
ryan just asked me if we were coming today
said that i didn't know but i might pass that way
now it's sunshine in teacups
destiny and beer
how i wish you could be here

gun in the hand of
if each of the crackers burst today
were a bullet from a gun
in the hand of a child labourer
in sivakasi
would we finally listen?
we, the people
we, the people of india, having solemnly resolved
that 1044 dead, 223 missing, 2548 injured, 150000 displaced
is too little, too few;
that the toll of the orphaned and numbers raped
should follow the trail of the glorious sensex;
that commerce is more important than truth
or a prostituted police force;
that the god(s) need more human sacrifice
and the sweet smell of houses burning;
in our exercise of democratic right
this 24th day of november, 2007,
do hereby elect, congratulate and give to ourselves this government.
