lyrics

Blades of grass
cut into the footprints of a circular path
so worn with bare feet it breaks up,
raked by the scuffling population
continually going back to a beginning
they no longer mind treading on.

I see Britain bleeding green blood into the ground.
I hear parrots crowing.
I smell intestine on the edge of knives
exposed in a yellow meadow of wild flowers.
Collectively we watch the pageant of Jerusalem
erected on Mount Pleasant;
a sharp edged impasse scratched
into each corner of occupation at Westminster.

Pastures of tarmac,
under a blank canvas, the hard pale mottled
surface of parkland in memory of King
George V; a man mown down by the
lawnmowers of a faraway fractured isle
that nobody remembers anymore.

The trick, and there is no denying it,
a trick exists.
The trick is to blunt the blade
and let the grass grow over everything
that has passed along this path.
