A TALE OF DRUDGERY IN THE BLACK<\/span><\/b>
\nFORTRESS OF AN ALIEN RACE.<\/span><\/b>
\n\u00a9Trev Teasdel Coventry Feb 1970<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nIn the black fortress of an alien race<\/span>
\nThe gangways are full of hurry n haste<\/span>
\nThe atmosphere’s full of industrial waste<\/span>
\nWhat dungeon in which to be encased.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThe pounding swishing swashing sound<\/span>
\nEarning many a fast diminishing pound<\/span>
\nForcing my snaity to the ground<\/span>
\nWhat an asylum in which to be found.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nGet your lungs full of contamination<\/span>
\nDrudgery’s your destination<\/span>
\nIn the black witches palace you find your occupation<\/span>
\nIt fills my soul with a deep aggrivation<\/span>
\nWhat a shanty town in which to be stationed.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nWhat weird and repulsive contraptions<\/span>
\nSterling’s no longer such a big attraction<\/span>
\nWant to join the ranks of Tom Paxton.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nFull of creative sterility<\/span>
\nFull of technical ability<\/span>
\nAccepted by the majority<\/span>
\nCertainly not accepted by me.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nWhat a way to earn your living<\/span>
\nWhat a way to earn your bread<\/span>
\nA house of horror, the place I dread.<\/span>
\nWish I’d stayed in bed<\/span>
\nWish I’d stayed in bed.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nWanna sing my heart out in a song<\/span>
\nDon’t wanna live my life in a way that’s wrong<\/span>
\nI’ve been captive for far too long<\/span>
\nI’m gonna fight, i’ve got to be strong.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
