The Sand. Out there, post-lockdown Screamadelica tour Tokyo, Japan and everywhere more Traditional politeness for the visiting BritsFirst gigs post-pandemic, please play all the hits!  

Lol liked the silence and the gifts from JapanBut he drank all the bath salts, which wasn’t the planSimone received sweetness to comb through her hair Budgie got Pocari Sweat at the Manga Street fair 

Cherry blossom season caused a big sake thirst,Who threw the phone through the window first?Robert and Siouxsie were almost deported No return for ten years - though ‘twas never reported.

The Oyster.Budgie and Simone at the breakfast bar calling Lol from Europe – to say, “Hello La!”On the bus with the crew, what’s the golden rule?Traveller’s ‘Toilette’, does not accept ‘Le Stool!’ 

Simone auditioned for Primal Scream She learnt all the songs and realised a dream No more living on chips and travelin’ in a van Bobby treats the band well, he’s a Gentleman

Siouxsie’s manager Nils asked Budgie to auditionEx-Slits Budgie did a good Palmolive impression. Success celebrated with a ‘Roll-up’ and a beer, Lol and Simone had young Ant, Adam’s ear! 

The Pearl. Simone in a film about the homeless that sears. Their lonely lives lightened by the unconditional love,of a dog they can talk to when no-one else hearsIt’s a story that moves with a powerful shove.

Scary ghost stories and thunder and lightning,  A bus shows Budgie that his mother’s around.Simone’s grandpa’s goodbye is a story quite frightening,Lol says Budgie knows things about Lol that astound! 

For Lol the first 4 Cure albums are significantly spiritual Though that’s not to say others misunderstood It’s the sand in the oyster that makes the pearl beautifulIt’s not Hunky Dory - but the friction is good! 

‘I don’t want a cure for this.’ ‘Love Hangover’ - Diana Ross (1976)
