my tiger tin

dear my dear tiger tin

in which i keep stuff 'n' things

you were £1 in poundland

you were bought on a whim


since then through thick & thin

from front rooms to festivals

i cant be without you

essential as testicles


yes without you one's lost

like grime without wiley

or countdown

sans perving at rachel riley



oh my dear tiger tin

in which i keep shit 'n' things

i fucking love you

oddly my heart sings

( mary )

recently i've not been myself

yes far too often i've been someone else

all morning i've been mary queen of scots

implicated by that bastard babbington plot

& if i carry on this gender-bend way

no doubt they'll behead me down at fotheringhay

yes recently i've not been myself

since the others spiked my apple juice

- blame everyone else
