Rundown Run-around – Written February 2002 (Aged 26)

Rundown Run-around

rundown run-around
hang it out to dry
mental deficiency
i think they’re going to cry
pushing prams
and raising hands
it never makes sense
you cannot raise a smile
and you cannot raise a child
rundown run-around
it’s going too fast
hang them out to dry
it’s all broken now
all you can do is sigh




James Garratt – February 2002
