about

I once saw a graffito that said: "Dear English journalists my name is pain and I live in this hole, I've four young kids who I'm training to be killers, wait till they grow up!" Horrified I had to write the song.

lyrics

Squashed in among the dust there lives a family of five who are drinking rust
Dear English journalists I got four gunslingers on a waiting list
Came like a flame I hope you know my name I got a thirst for fame and its name is pain
I’m in you building making calls, I’m in the basement and the hollow walls

Metropolis in Flames Dear English Journalists
Pyrotechnic claims I hope you got my list
Metropolis in Flames Dear English Journalists
The usual list of names Be my optimist.

I crawl the streets like a shrouded ghost, all along the pavement to the parcel post
I’m at the door to post you stuff I’m breathing in your ear when you’re feeling rough
Came like a flame I hope you know my name I got a thirst for fame and its name is pain
I lost the time you’d drive me back in among the shadows and the coal smoke stacks

Squashed in among the dust there lives a family of five who are drinking rust
Dear English journalists I got four gunslingers on a waiting list
They know incarceration, eager minds they’ve got graduation
It’s in my blood it’s on a disc it’s chewed up in the works of a flying risk.
