I don't trust the air domestically because the workers are doled up in white suits and masks to remove the asbestos in the ongoing demolition and I tell myself I don't know which way the wind is blowing and all this reckoning on Shakespeare's quality of mercy has left...
I am Albion and therefore a rebel by birthright. I am the fruits and seeds fell from the trees rooted in soilWorked by the Levellers and the Diggers,claimed by the trespassers of Kinder Scout, the striking minersof Orgreave, the Chartists of Peterloo, the women of Grunwicks,the massed blockaders of...
The flat bleak eastern european plains of Lincolnshire near The Romany Museum at Cowbit (pronounced 'Cubbitt') hosting The Big Top. I am talking with the clown in a dirty high-viz vest about artistic integrity,narrative,selling England by the pound. It is not the time. Lights have to be fixed and...
No matter what they say, We're all the same. Deep down inside, We all feel pain. By taking a side, what's there to gain? A sense of pride? An ounce of fame? The same old lies, Told again and again. Emotional cries, A show of strain. The world...

Sensational you.Breathing,And eating,And living,And doing,And thinking,And loving.And all this before you go to work,And do you daily grind,To earn a crust,Afor ye go bust,To feed your kids,And earn their trust.Sensational You,Making,And walking,Laughing,And Talking,Listening,And Yawning,So to bed,Ye go,The day’s work done,To sleep,To dream,Sensational one.
