appetite for destruction

[lizblackdog]

Just came back from the supermarket, where the usual Bank Holiday weekend siege mentality was running rampant. I found myself having to fight down the urge to smash someone's face in with my shopping basket - perhaps that's why Asda use plastic ones.

I thought about coming here and writing down the exact reasons why I'm so pissed off and bitter right now. But the people who care already know and the person who caused it doesn't care, so why embarrass myself further?

So here's what I was listening to on my personal CD player in Asda - rarely has a lyric fitted the mood of the moment so well...

Running Gun Blues (David Bowie)

I count the corpses on my left, I find I'm not so tidy
So I better get away, better make it today
I've cut twenty-three down since Friday
But I can't control it, my face is drawn
My instinct still emotes it

I slash them cold, I kill them dead
I broke the gooks, I cracked their heads
I'll bomb them out from under the beds
But now I've got the running gun blues

It seems the peacefuls stopped the war
Left generals squashed and stifled
But I'll slip out again tonight
Cause they haven't taken back my rifle
For I promote oblivion
And I'll plug a few civilians

I'll slash them cold, I'll kill them dead
I'll break them gooks, I'll crack their heads
I'll slice them till they're running red
But now I've got the running gun blues

I'll slash them cold, I'll kill them dead
I'll break them gooks, I'll crack their heads
I'll slice them till they're running red
But now I've got the running gun blues
