<HTML>Put Down
I'll read myself to sleep
A book of the greatest power
Memories I keep
Of happier days
Chinese wasn’t @#$%&
But we both liked sweet and sour
Hope Landen exists
I hope I pray
Hated by Goliath
My life is out of control
I‘ll hide in this lost plot and try to wait
For them to go
CHORUS:
I feel down, very down
With my little Next to be
So down, so down, so down, down, down
Need sympathy
Now Cordelia Flakk
Sent me to some far out places
It's hard to carry on
When you feel all alone
Now I’m in the Well of Lost Plots
It's worse than it was before
If I hadn't seen Jurisfiction
I could live not reading more
(Chorus)
Now I feel the breath of sadness
(my little Next to be)
I worry that I’m touched by madness
(my little Next to be)
Some might find the plot ridiculous
(my little Next to be)
Feel love, and fear, and hate, and tears
Feel love, and fear, and hate, and tears
Feel love, and fear, and hate, and tears
Feel love, and fear, and hate, and tears
Down
Down
(Chorus and repeat)
Down</HTML>
I'll read myself to sleep
A book of the greatest power

I‘ll hide in this lost plot and try to wait
For them to go

So down, so down, so down, down, down

Feel love, and fear, and hate, and tears
Feel love, and fear, and hate, and tears
Feel love, and fear, and hate, and tears

<HTML>Dammit - he got to 'Sit Down' before me...bloody trains (and other mutterings). Nevermind, here's another James one for Bea...
Jurisfiction Calling
So Thursday is gorgeous,
So Thursday is famous,
So they want her flogging toast.
Sent spec-ops over budget,
Left Goliath upset,
Got let off in a Kafka trial..
Her pet came from a test-tube,
Likes marshmallows to chew,
Only stood on one foot once.
She works under Braxton,
Her husband was once Landen,
Is this rhyming getting tedious?
Chorus:
Here she comes, this is jurisfiction calling,
Thursday, jursifiction is caing you on,
Thursday, go and muck round with literature now...
Don't forget Aornis,
Don't assume that Hades,
Has actually gone to his grave.
Never trust Jack Schit,
Should have left him in it -
Goliath are such arseholes.
Don't ask when yor time's up,
Leave that to the chronoguard,
Just don't ask about the timeslips.
chorus...
then:
Goliath's stolen Landen's life,
But in Thursday's head he's still alive,
When she gets him back I think I'll cry,
I didn't mean to admit that, I've realised...
chorus again and again and again until bored.
Hope you enjoyed that, bea</HTML>

<HTML>Ripped off 'She's a star' - a biting satire on manufactured pop, as it happens... Well worth checking out.</HTML>
