Bad as I can be (Up to no good)

TO THE SCHOLAR AND THE WALLAH,

TO THE TEACHER RANTING RULES

 TO THE OLD MAN

THAT WANTS TO BE YOUNG

TO THE BITTER AND THE TWIST-ED

BLOOMING SISTERS HAVING FUN

FATHER SHOUTS ‘GET OUT!’ 

MOTHER WHISPERS “LOVE YOU SON!”

I’M THE LIQUID IN YOUR CUP

I’M THE SONG THAT CAN’T BE SUNG

NEVERENDING AMBULANTE

THE FAG THAT BURNT YOUR TONGUE

I’M THE KID AT THE PARADE – 

UNDER BLOUSE AND SKIRT I RUN

THE RUMBLES, THE BIG TALK 

COMES THE MORNING I’LL BE GONE

BECAUSE

I’M UP TO NO GOOD AS I AIN’T GOOD ENOUGH

DIRTY LOWDOWN, HANGING WITH THE ROUGH, I MADE MY WAY COS I’M BAD… BAD AS I CAN BE

TO THE SLACKERS AND THE COLLAR,

TO THE WOLF MAN IN A SUIT,

TO THE AD THAT SPORNED A MONSTER 

WHO SAYS “I’M UP TO NO GOOD”

TO THE PAINTER AND THE SCULPTOR,

TO THE PALETTE AND THE FLOW 

JUST ALLOW IT!    

JUST INVITE THEM TO THE SHOW 

I’M THE CATALAN UPRISING

I’M THE TRUMPS OF USA/ THE HORSE, THE MOUSE, THE GOLDEN FLEECE 

NO PASA NADA, HERMANNO 

HEAR ME WHEN I COME

I’M THE DOG THAT RUNS FREE 

THE FALLING TAPESTRY 

THE CRUMBLES, THE SHOCK

GONNA MISS ME WHEN I’M GONE! 

AIN’T GOOD ENOUGH I AM UP TO NO GOOD
