Them.

They fuck harder in Winter.

I'm going to make a comedy.

Animalitos.

It would be easier in a knife fight.
But then where would be the point?
I suppose that's the beauty of this existence.
Take away the violence, and this is where we are:

It's nice here, in the armchair.

Oh, and these...

A Year in Prague and a Whiskey Soaked Romance

Don't wait for the train to arrive, tonight we fly

It's just a matter of time before I see you again
So make it happen, make it happen
I'll see you again when we reach Copenhagen

They release the hounds, but they'll never take us alive
Now your feet are weak from running, and I know we're never going to make it

Deafened by the barking, blinded by the searchlights
Will we never escape from within these fences?

We built these houses with our fists
We blew these rooms apart
We decorated these walls with our blood

Oh, Marie
If only you could see me now, you'd be so proud of me
Meet me in eternity

Cutting Up Shakespeare

Paper scripts
The end of this shit stained romance
She never listens - to me
Turn the pages
To reveal the horror

The burning passion
That keeps us from sleep
And we're cutting up Shakespeare
For what it's worth
I'm still alone

Dear lover, I'm still alone
Dear lover, I'm all alone

I'd still dream of fucking you
If it wasn't for these circumstances

Whitened Teeth and Vampire Smiles

Crippling the senses of the animals
Changing the scenery to night
Fucking the headlights to avoid the crash
The clocks will run backwards again

Cassandra, this wait is killing me
A Lolita dressed in white
The perfect thing I cannot touch
It breaks the windows
The stone is never thrown

Correct my faults
They came packaged in flesh

Laugh, cry, scream, awake

The Invasion of the Moon (1957-1970)

A hermaphroditic leper, bare knuckle boxing for funds to find a cure

We invade as a step of progress
Our scarecrows with smiles as big as armies
The amphetamines glowing in our pirouetting eyes
Leaning closer to feel the heat

Spread some love, baby, spread it
Spread some love, baby, yeah

Reaching for the future between your thighs
We'll break before we feel alive again

Give the workers their due
Give the professions their workers
Give the workers their work

Spread some love, baby, spread it
Spread some love, baby, yeah

We made a pact to make it up
Inserting pins into our scalps
The acupuncture points of a generation

Spread some love, baby, spread it
Spread some love, baby, yeah

An old one.

The Beauty of Sleep

I spent 10 days scaling the walls of the control towers, choking on the vomit of their protrusions. But as I reached the top, and they laid down their cigarettes for good, I danced a dance of joy. Gripping as I was with my fist, I couldn't escape the tumble. A quick look down and it all seemed closer. If only I had known I was falling. It was a smooth ride, all the same - as if I were drowning in air. And when I hit the ground, the cold sweat tingled, my startled eyes opened. The realisation that it had all been a dream made me want to take the ride again. The thrill, the experience, the FALL. If wishes were horses…

I found my feet in the shower.

Apt.

It's like a regular witch-hunt.

The Wolf.

Fire fell from the skies, burning the souls that had before been all but lost. The seas boiled over, spilling over the beaches and harbour towns, roasting the folk who ran. Screams rang out into the night sky, as the great powers above looked down upon the destruction. The Angels had revolted, and imprisoned God in a cage. But still there had to be something, just something... A way to save them all.

And so, as she wept a final tear, God spoke a single word: "Sleep."

Around the Angels, Heaven erupted, tearing the universe and all its children to pieces. Down below, Lucifer cried, his eyes full. The Angels crumbled, like falling rocks in avalanches.

And God, in all her beauty, before destroying herself, cracked a smile.

And though they were destroyed, they were saved.

Adventures and the like!

Everybody likes to have an adventure every now and then... keeps the spirit alive. Some people have private adventures - countryside walks, shopping trips, even the thrill of running up a staircase. Sometimes masturbation. Anything can be enjoyed with other people, too. Even masturbation.

I think every day should be an adventure. One day I'm going to grab somebody by the hand and make them run, in the style of Doctor Who and assistant. But I'll wait for it to be the right person. If running out of the door rather than walking, jumping the bottom few steps of the staircase, or even changing your daily routine is the difference in the day, it just makes it more of an adventure.

After all, we all like adventures.

I'm going to write a book. It's a bit fucked up, but I'll probably post segments up on here for people to see if they want to. I've got the story down, just need to actually get down to structuring it somehow.

By the way, my name's Paul Tinhead... It's a pseudonym.
