Leaping out of the frying pan
Headlong into the fire
Perhaps at the expense of love
But quenching my desire
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
Leaping out of the frying pan
Headlong into the fire
Perhaps at the expense of love
But quenching my desire
Time is running out
She said
Remember we’re on the clock
I wish you’d just stop checking
He said
And focus on my… shoulder
What happens when the music stops
She said
Do we have to go home?
Wherever you end up going
He said
You won’t be going alone
So I’m due to leave
The house today
Off out with my friends
To play
Whilst enjoying, perhaps
A wine or two
I’ll try my best
To forget about you
I looked you up online
Last night
And was disappointed
With what I found
It seems first loves
Almost certainly are
Best left
In the playground
Who knew fifteen minutes
She said
Could really be that bad
I did the best I could
He said
In the limited time I had
Fifteen minutes
She said
Is all you’ve got
More than enough
He said
To shoot my shot
With cider
A go go
And knickers
A yo yo
The experience
A so so
Anything more
A no no
I didn’t think
There was anything else
You could do to anger me
But then you go
And confront me with
A fucking awful cup of tea
Nobody says ‘potahto’
I love living here
Next to the sea
On my cosy little croft
But the seagull noise
When I’m trying to sleep?
That can fuck right off
I remember watching this
For the first time
Just me and you
With pizza and wine
Now I’m watching again
Hungry and alone
Nothing is the same
Here, on my own
Xxx
I know that it
Has been a while
But sure as eggs is eggs
You do have such
A winning smile
And a cracking pair of legs
Time flies
When you’re having fun
That’s why it’s still midnight
As I’m having none
There’s a small amount of comfort
But it quickly becomes a chore
And when he tries to converse
You remember why he’s such a bore
We’ve got to move quickly
He said
Time is of the essence
Just go ahead without me
She said
I haven’t run since adolescence
Well that’s the second jab in
And the battle is almost won
Soon the war will be over
And we can all have some fun
If I could
He said
I really would love
To lie with you forever, like this
Really
She said
I couldn’t be arsed
Now shift – I need a piss
I gave you everything I could
He said
Even if you don’t remember it
You gave me hell, heartbreak and hepatitis
She said
And your dope was shit
Go on then pal
Unbutton your flies
Let's see what
You've got tonight
Does that bulge
In your jeans
Really mean
What I think it means
Will you actually have
Enough in there to please
Or are you just
A pretentious tease...
Thanks for that my dear
He said
Would you like a cigarette?
Are you fucking serious
She said
We haven’t finished yet!
Never amongst so many people
Have I felt so alone
I really do not want to stay
But know I can’t go home
Yet for all the kindness
And love I’ve been shown
I still cannot face another day
Here on my own

‘Undo your trousers and get your cock out now’ she cried.
I knew she would be unimpressed with what she saw. It wasn’t the fact I was fucked from the seven hours of non-stop dancing, or that I felt physically ill from the dodgy burger I’d eaten at Stav’s van outside the club. I knew full well that my inability to get a hard on was due to the six wraps of amphetamine that I had hoovered up my nose throughout the night.
‘Come on, she pleaded. I want to feel you inside me. I want you to make me come all night long’. She had always been a pretty straight forward kind of girl. Or at least she had been since I’d known her. I’d met her in the club about four hours earlier. She was coming out of the toilets as I was heading in to fill up my water bottle. She said she liked my blue mascara and matching hair. I said I liked her devil horns and big tits. But those 36D’s were doing nothing for me now.
I felt the crotch of my faux snakeskin trousers. Nothing. Her eyes eagerly followed the direction of my hand. She wouldn’t be pleased. My usually ample sized dick was letting me down. I tried to change the subject.
‘I’ll put some tunes on’ I croaked as I fumbled about on the floor. I found a CD – Carl Cox Non Stop. For fucks sake. Must everything remind me of my dick? I angrily pushed the disk into the stereo.
‘I fancy you’ she purred. How the fuck was I going to pull this one off? Here was a smouldering sex kitten writhing around on my bed, gagging for it, and my bollocks had shrivelled to the size of a grape. I suppose it’s not their fault, I mused. Give me a choice between a shag and six wraps of pure base and I’ll go for the powder every time. It’s only when you have Uma Thurman on your bed that you wish you could say no.
Maybe I could try and satisfy her in another way, I wondered. That way if my sleeping policeman ever decides to wake up then it’ll be fine: I can shag her all night long. If he decides to sleep in, however, then maybe she’ll be content with other parts of my anatomy instead and fall asleep.
‘Well, if you won’t come to me then I’ll just have to come to you’ she teased, playfully. She stood up from the bed and moved over towards me, undoing the strings of her corset as she walked. Her eyes locked on mine. I would hate to be a disappointment to her but, as yet, there was no stirring in my nether regions. Her leather bodice fell to the floor, shortly followed by her crushed velvet hot pants. Fuck me, she was beautiful. She had a body to die for with a sexual appetite to match. Every man’s wet dream. I so wished I’d met her when I wasn’t off my face.
‘Interested?’ she seductively inquired. How ironic I thought. As I studied her ample chest, the old snakeskins felt a little tighter at the zip. Maybe all was not lost. Maybe my sleeping policeman’s alarm clock had finally gone off. I sent down another tentative hand to the area in question. Thank fuck. My bollocks had returned to their normal size and my dick was getting ready to greet Uma with a smile.
‘I’m interested if you are’ I beamed. And she was. My snakeskins and ‘FUCKED’ t-shirt were soon on the floor. They and the devil horns made a cracking looking pair.
‘I’ll be off then. Thanks for a great night!’
It wasn’t actually the sound of her voice that woke me up that afternoon, but the sound of the heels on her knee length boots clicking along the hallway floor. Through the haze of a banging headache and a raging thirst I watched them disappear as the front door slammed shut.
Although I felt like utter shit I smiled proudly to myself. She thought last night was ‘great’. For once, it seemed, I had managed to fight the side effects of the chemicals I had consumed and have a decent shag after a good nights whizzing. I settled back into bed and prepared for the inevitable come down that was already winging its way to me in the post.
My mobile began to vibrate on the bedside table. The noise felt like someone drilling holes into my head. I answered it, just to stop it hurting.
‘Hello?’
‘Fuck me, you are alive then!’ came an excited voice. ‘Man, I thought you’d be out of it considering how well you got on with our friend Billy last night. Fucking good night though, eh? Bouncing club that. But what about that bird with the devil horns and the big tits that you were talking to outside the toilets? Must have hurt when she called you a sexist prick and slapped your face before walking off with her pals…’
It was then I realised. It’s like the geezer from Manchester growls in that song:
‘All your dreams are made, when you’re chained to the mirror and the razor blade…’

That summer with you was glorious.
I was young, fearless and eager to learn.
You were older, wiser and willing to teach.
I can still recall that first night. You grabbed my hand and whispered ‘Come with me’.
We sailed past the doormen and into the club. I remember that heady mix of beer in plastic glasses, cigarette smoke and pounding bass lines in darkened alcoves.
We danced all night as those songs played and we lost ourselves in each other.
That summer was twenty two years ago, but it feels like it was yesterday.
Thank You.
For JH.

So I’ve opened up an Insta
After discussion with some friends
As not only am I interested
In the efforts others have invested
But also who might slide into my DM’s
😉
Life is a struggle
She said
And after that you die
I couldn’t agree more
He said
So let’s get fucking high
Is this why we were put here
She said
To worship his favourite son?
I’m fucked if I know
He said
So let’s just have some fun
What would it take
For you to notice me
Wear a skimpy dress
Paint my lips so readily
Well all I have is my words
So I guess that counts me out
As there’s nothing at all about them
That suggests I’d like to hangout
I’ve never met anyone else
Who could spin a tale like you
Who tied people in knots with laughter
Who turned the air so cheekily blue
You were a master of your trade
The likes of which there’ll only ever be one
I’ll never forget your stories
Even now you’re gone
You’ll always be my hero
And a treasure to many more
I hope one day we’ll meet again
My Glaswegian raconteur
Xxx
This back and forth
Between us both
Has certainly served a purpose
But now we know
Our virtue exists
Merely on the surface
I
shall
make it
My
life's
work
To
ensure
this
Is
never
repeated
That
never
again
Will
I fall
in love
With
someone so
conceited
