Release Date – Written Thursday 5th September 1996 (Aged 21)

Release Date

give me you brains
and i will show you who is insane
i laughed,
when you said,
you wear black because of the way you feel
i said,
i wear what i like
because that is what’s real
she fled the night
and i never took sight of her again
give me a release date from this insanity
no one wants to be here
and there is no need to die
so, where do we go
where can we fly?
i am mad at the sameness of my world
i am trying to change it forever
characters adorn my life like costume jewellery –
that i bought but never intended to wear
i want to be everything
and i want to be everywhere
give me your thoughts on a plate and i will wait


James Garratt – Thursday 5th September 1996
