Manifesto

I'm not pure blue
I'm not the sea
I'm not the things you want from me
I'm not a wreck without a brain
I'm not brown engines in the rain
I'm not the girl you thought you wanted
Do you want a girl at all? I guess we'll see
I'm not one for your manifesto
You wrote in the dark in the car park
You drew your flies and sighed and spoke
Of temporary autonomous zones
I'm not a boom
I'm not a bust
I'm just an animal of lust
I'm not a garden
Not a contract
Not some limestone by the Thames
All the gifts that you steal me
All the chapbooks that you write me make me swell
My friends say you're a massive ego
Not in so many words
I'm too young to have been there
The station at Lenin Square
I'm not an ant
I'm not too small
I won't speak of love at all
You're a centre
I'm a weirdo
You're a star about to fall
You're not the cigarette you put out on my thigh
I don't care at all
I'm not one for your manifesto
You wrote in the dark in the car park
You drew your flies and sighed and spoke
Of temporary autonomous zones

You've sent me pictures
I've sent you mine
I'm a little older
I'm running out of time
You got out looking for a fun one
You go out looking for a quick one
People used to die like this
But you're probably too young for that
In the underpass people make friends
You'll wind up with a hand around your neck
Around your neck
With a hand around your neck
You want to be assertive
But you're probably too young for that
You want to be serious
But you're probably too young for that
Too young for that
I won't put you down
I won't make you frown
I will be around
I won't play the clown
You say you're looking for a fast one
I do the right thing
You know with ages there comes an ache
But you're probably too young for that
In the underpass people make friends
You'll end up with a bruise or two for sure
Perhaps it's what you need
I won't say it's what you deserve
You want to be elusive
But you've never heard the word before
You want to be one part of a half
You won't find it like that, my dear
You want to be one part of a half
Look no further my dear
You want to be assertive
But you're probably too young for that
Too young for that
