Lets all run away to where everyone counts.

Lets all run away to where everyone counts.

Lets all go to Holton Social club on holiday.

Lets all switch dreams to Barrow in Furness.

And change trains at Wolverhampton.

And hold hands in the market stall. 

And admit to all the obvious things we.

Pretend we don’t know, but do know,

Like how scary all this is.

I spoke to Ellen,

She says there is not enough time 

To do the things she knows she should.

I spoke to Baback,

He says he thinks he’s loosing his memory.

I spoke to Annie,

She says the country is a gobshite and a creep.

What if we are all just so incredibly lonely 

Its now impossible to talk honestly?

DM me your fears for the future.

Wave at me.

Please.

Give me a little attention.

Lucy told me the smell of the till in the Morrisions 

Reminds her of her mum.

Beryl don’t care who you are, 

You need a purpose to get up in the morning. 

Jacob needs to talk to the police 

About his brother.

Alexander says this is clearly a case of 

Judicial murder.

Shakya will take any cell except cell four.

Laurence listens to a podcast 

On pre history 

While Natalie walks under 

The M6 viaduct with me,

Her wig is pinching and she leaves a trail of 

Clouds behind her feet as she walks,

She says her dreams are limping.

Peter always has these white jeans on 

And he never has the flies done up, 

Its off-putting.

It’s been 6 over months of walking around 

This country

And I note

52 hundred hills

All of which 

Have rung dry

Exhausted from your fears and mine.

Jewels can’t stand to see anyone 

Struggle during the pub quiz 

So she mouths the answers into the air.

1612.

Jacob's ladder.

The Moomins.

Frank still bunks the train from work at 66.

Emma has fireworks instead of eyelids.

Mike says 

Blackburn makes Preston look cosmopolitan

And I still don’t know what a protestant is.

What if we are all just so incredibly lonely

Its now impossible to talk honestly.

DM me your fears for the future.

Wave at me.

Please. 

Give me a little attention.

The fraction of the life you are capable 

Of living does not come from 

Answering my questions 

But its nice to know 

We are all freaking out in unison.

I’m scared.

I’m scared through and through.

I’m scared I’m no good. 

I’m scared my face 

Will always look this way.

I’m scared to eat more than 

One mouthful.

I’m scared the country 

Is not just divided into two, 

Its divided into 12,600 

Which is the amount of parishes 

There are in England.

I’m scared I will never find a boyfriend.

I’m scared I will never get married.

I’m scared I will never 

Make my parents happy.

I’m scared of IVF.

I’m scared of Greggs.

I’m scared of piles cream,

Dementia.

Fern trees and cancer.

I’m scared North End 

Will never make it into the Prem.

I’m scared my life is one long 

Never ending 

Jez related 

Peep show meme.

I’m scared to open my eyes and take you in.

I’m scared

Because

I have never worked so hard

And 

Never had

So little.

I’m scared. Properly.

What if we are all just so incredibly lonely 

It’s now impossible to talk honestly.

DM me your fears for the future.

Wave at me.

Please.

Give me a little attention.

No matter what happens,

I do not regret meeting you.

You are the one I enjoy.

You have changed my life

(of that there is little doubt)

So lets all run away to where everyone counts.
