Up above the streets and houses
Crane is spinning round
Spraying Gary's diarrhoea
Over the ground

Paint the whole world with a crane poo

Butcher Boy, 18 years ago yesterday.

We're playing one of my favourite songs here.

Filmed on a potato.

Simpler times.

Haha. This friend and I wrote a song based on a GCSE German module about illness and injury. I can still remember all of it. Also: got an A*

I will never forget my very funny best friend at school buying a 10p mix up, picking a jelly out of the bag, saying 'Made from dead piggy. Awwwwwwww' and then stuffing it unceremoniously in her mouth

Here is my girl Cocoa, 10 years gone now but I still dream about her all the time. I always think I should photoshop a little microphone into this picture.

Cocoa, my old tortoiseshell cat, on a red and yellow checked blanket on a chair by the radiator. She is yawning and it looks like she is screaming into an invisible microphone
