brand ambassador brand ambassador best friend of every apprentice, dead wrestler and emergency dentist brand ambassador brand ambassador "your cops must be under cover" as he casts a spell on every corner on every corner / on every corner choreographer of extreme street-theatre an unceasing work of drama, as captured on every security-camera brand ambassador in the future yugoslavia his life was an open agenda and he met his end in a riverside render a riverside render / a riverside render

Top Comic 02:36
everybody's favourite court jester in a second failed attempt at adolescence in a city centre context he was feeling effervescent medieval imp in a netflix special spilling himself on the altar of free expression backstage reflexologist his back catalogue in the bargain bin the desolation of the dressing room mirror two dead eyes on the DVDVDVD cover 'tis the season to say sorry 'tis the season to say sorry 'tis the season to say sorry surging over the border of ceremonial counties ceremonial counties

Origin Myth 04:37
come and see our city before it sinks pick a spot in the six yard box of the pitches waterlogged he operates outside of office hours so do not leave the door unlocked, my dear cos out in the communal swimming pool there is a sudden induction for his newest recruits a rotting, swollen wooden beam watching the final ferry leave (flick the silt from off his lips) there goes custodian of the origin myth flicking the silt from off his broken lips they say he was born in the back of uber they say he was conceived in an air bnb face wrought deep with desire lines the dead still ring his doorbell at night his calling cards still litter the beds of artificial rivers come and see our city before it sinks / come and see our city before it sinks / come and see our city before it sinks / come and see our city before it sinks

here is your prisoner of split-second decisions his piano-led death-sentence is polluting the atrium everything seemed easier at 3,000 feet or when stuffing your glove-box with V.A.T receipts "i was only searching for the centre" (lying through his tea-stained teeth, in saturated scenery) I got a fistful of ostmarks, image rights to die for a dream of a proper metropolis, a kiss for my co-conspirator according to his televised confession - we are merely servants to the centre / we are merely servants to the centre. "i was only searching for the centre" "i was only searching for the centre"

Office Radio 03:29
i got my orders through the office radio i got my orders through the office radio you never know who isn't listening when you're redefining mediocrity this one goes out to the meritocracy a coded warning for a common enemy it's so easy to flick onto the wrong frequency as gossip and whispers will stiffen into official policy cat shit in the sprinkler system back-flips in the mental gymnasia this warehouse only has one storey starting and ending with a formal warning

God Help Us 02:35
i'm looking up the latin for "not in my back yard" so I can turn our family crest into a coat-of-arms flooding into cul-de-sacs in a state of self-hypnosis muttering through your letter-box: "there's no place like the coal-face... ...no place like the coal-face, no place like the coal-face" and every village idiot will want to do his bit see the fresh insignia on every pedestrian bridge a legacy of over-zealous intercontinental hot-deskers centuries of heavy petting distilled into a whispered "god help us..." "god help us, if there is no war"

human taxidermist in an easy-iron shirt steps onto the concourse where the incident occurs and sends the insect sailing up into manchester sky as half a million people take one step to the right and hold tight here stood a wall of no clear purpose a sleep-starved eccentric with an unquenchable thirst for an ending his travel-card had opened up a strange new stargate he steps on through to make good on his end of the bargain here stood a wall here stood a wall here stood a wall here stood a wall (human taxidermist)
