The Word Before Last

Television : you will notice that very appropriately i'm left-handed



This man i saw

Was happy then

And then loved

And on tv well

But now he cried

And he cried

And of course he had to want to die

But he watched him

Which made it worse

Of course, of course, of course, of course



You understand

He didn't know

That it was someone else

Who looked the same

A similar voice taken

The clothes changed

But the face retained



Surrounded by

Old imagery

His brain bypassed

The eternal moment laid bare

No time to heal

Continual pain, continual pain, continual pain, continual pain



I spent a bad day yesterday

With a man and a picture of himself

The tape was running and the tv turned



Television : ...and described mrs thatcher's first three months in power as disastrous
