Found Out – Tuesday 15th March 1994 (Aged 19)

Found Out

I found out, I found out
looked about
took you home
wanted to be alone
but you smiled,
with eyes of strangeness
and said, ‘give me a phone.’
I found out, I found out
found out what you are all about.

I could have lived in ignorance
so why couldn’t I?
I mean,
everyone else does.
I could have taken drugs
but that’s an easy route to hell.
I need an escapism that treats me well
and that is you.
I found out, I found out.

James Garratt – Tuesday 15th March 1994
