about

An excerpt from the excellent Spark Side Of The Moon nights while it was running before changing venues at the James Street Tavern. Guests include Pedro, Thomas The Bok, James Berwale and Foci's Left. Some of the material is annotated from group asylum notebooks. At least, that's why I've uploaded some of this in its entirety, because I have writing credit.

lyrics

(Asylum track I remember writing while under serious medication; go figure).

Oh what if John Lennon, were still alive today
And he had not been shot
The general consensus is that that would be nice
But. I dare to say that. it might not be
He'd hang around with Geldof doing Live Aid and the like
Oh I'm glad John Lennon died.

Now before you start to boo me, and say that I'm a cunt
Perhaps I should explain
He last wrote, he last wrote a good song, in 1971
and never, ever, sang a decent thing again!
His music in the '80s would have sounded like Crowded House
Oh I'm glad John Lennon died.

And can you imagine if he made a guest appearance on Never Mind The Buzzcocks?
All of his answers would be painfully bad, and to see him look
so past it
would be really sad
He'd always be on Twitter making really racist jokes
Oh I'm glad John Lennon died.

Do doo, do doo do doo do, do doo doo do doo do
Do doo do do, doo do
Do doo do doo of dodo do doo do do do do
Do do dooo dooo doo doo do do doo do
In 1990 Yoko would've killed him anyway
Oh I'm glad John Lennon died.

And believe it or not would you spare a thought what would have happened to Harrison and Mcartney?
All of them would be saying "Paul is dead" and they would have named
the airport after him instead
Imagine if him instead of Neil Buchanan presented Art Attack!
Oh I'm glad John Lennon died.
