Dagenham Cakeshop
Tie me to the lamp-post with a silken thread
Drawn from your unravelling chemise
To hold me faster than any prison cell
And bind me eternally to your longing
And deafen me forever to your pleas
Which echo ever plaintively inside my head
Buzzing loudly like a swarm of bees
Escaping from the brightest fires of Hell
Or, like a plague of locusts, thronging
'Round a plate of processed peas
Deafened, I've forgotten what it was you said
When you sent me to request Denise
To book my tickets for the Brighton Belle
(Which I once sang a drunken song in)
And vomit in the depths of my valise
