A Bus Too Far By Cranston Poorhouse You bastard bus! Why won't you come? You leave me here Feeling cold and glum Even when you arrive There's nowhere to sit I end up nose to nose to someone who smells of shit And when I finally sit down Time after Time The seat's full of kid snot Oozing with slime And you, stupid driver You just don't care Spend ages at bus stops Even though no one is there Your timetables mean nothing All nonsense and confusion With all these thoughts I've come this conclusion: Fuck you, I'll walk |
Bad Sandwich by Cranston Poorhouse Sandwich unwrapped Made fresh today! So said the packet anyway. Sandwich in hand Ready to eat Too much bread and not enough meat Bad Sandwich! I say But then think to myself "Cranston! You ordered cheese and ham Not cheese and Branston!" The bread is all soggy Bad Sandwich! I say Beggars can't be choosers So I eat it anyway Three hours later The rumbling starts Bad Sandwich! I whimper While holding my farts Pressure is building Must let it out! Rush to the lavvy Lock everyone out! I scream BAD SANDWICH! |

I Don't Want To Share By Cranston Poorhouse We used to share like good folk do One for me, and one for you But sod you now, I'm through with you Two for me, and one for you You're worth as much as spit on my shoe Three for me, and one for you Even if I had the flu I still wouldn't share it with you You hurt me bad, it was so untrue All for me, and none for you Go away |

Clubbers and Scrubbers By Cranston Poorhouse Half past two Out come the clubbers Can't get a taxi What am I to do? Go to the garage Get a packet of Quavers See big boned old scrubbers Do favours for sailors. "Kiss for a penny!" "Sex for a pound!" Not on your Nelly Am I sticking around! Must get home quick Jump over that sick! Dodge the old beggar Or give him a kick Bus at the bus stop Full of drunk women Burping and farting And out of tune singin' Off we go, be home pretty soon Unless we bump into Alice the Goon She guards the bus door and flirts with the driver If you try to get off she'll drown you in saliva Bribe her with a fag and she'll let you pass I wish now I'd gone home with that young lass My stop here Ding Ding goes the bell Thank God I'm home From that living hell. |
