Sinister: Sexpectations

[toy stephen]

One of my top mishearings was from Expectations,
'And the headset that you always wear, a queer one
from the start'
I imagined an awkwardly thin girl with those earphones
on like Eskimo ear-muffs, dancing around to the Mamas
and Papas, her head almost over-heavy from the
headset, threatening to drag her head first into the
pavement.

anyway, this song's dedicated to Bron. The good doctor
told her she needs Struan singing for her live and
vegan pancakes from the Pick Me Up cafe on North
Clark.

Sunday morning, it is beautiful, it's grey and there
is rain
Looking out into the fog, the melting faces on the
train,
Your clothes look ragged, your gaze happy, and I
suspect
You haven't slept, messy lipstick on your face

Perhaps you're Astrid and you've been dancing with the
Belles
Your star so lovely, that your age they cannot tell
Your obsessions get you known throughout Sinister for
being strange
Crushing Bobby, and whispering him 'Jag älskar dig.'

In the queue of posts, some sour kids have got no
appetite
Forgetting what it's like to be young and to be tight
So they leave the list, they scoff and snarl and go
berserk
Don't they know that Sinister is just a lovely place
to flirt?

Hey there's Ken Chu
He writes posts, they're the Most
Fulluv charm, my nose is brown
Soon I'll have something to say
When this refrain finally goes away

Sunday morning, it is beautiful, it's grey and there
is rain
e.e. compiles brill haikus culled from our collective
brain
Spring has come, the tour has started, what can you
expect
Pre-show meetups, double whiskies and (I hope) hickies
on our necks

Tell us the setlist, Struan's dancing and Bel's Dylan
dress
We've got everything to gain 'cause we're easily
impressed
All the naughty boys and naughty girls that you have
snogged
We're secretly into S&M and we love getting flogged

After the show we lock ourselves away inside a motel
room
Sing the songs we heard and drink ourselves silly
until noon
Stumble in our cardies back into the light
They think we're twee, we've got to make the bastards
think they're right

Hey, the sky is blue
Like the porn on the tube
Are you calm? settle down
Chicago's not all gangsters insane
For one day Sinister will reign

Is this cool? I don't know
It's not Gwar or I Love My Car
Listen to me here's the end
>From a boy neath the smoker's railway arch
You're on top of the world a-ghhhhhhhhen.
