Reasons to be cheerful (from 2003)

[boof_boy]

Songs by Mayo Thompson,
Bowie and Ronson
Vinyl records and little dogs.
The old West Pier, English beer
First division football and ole Doc' Boggs.

10 hole Docs
Railway station clocks
Fish and chip suppers and
Rainy nights.

Don and Phil Everly, Frankie Beverley
Wearing women’s undies and tickle fights.

Police and thieves, crunching through the leaves
The things that we've achieved and crombie coats
The Beach Boys and the Byrds, cheeky girls and nerds,
Eating chinese pickles and famous quotes.

Buffy on the telly, socks that ain’t smelly
Petroleum jelly - a ploughman’s lunch.
A big red Sherrin, the footy shirt you’re wearing
Scratch, Augustus, Tubby and the Wild Bunch.

Girls in glasses, Paul Merson’s passes
Woodwind, strings and brasses, and Mary Janes.
Watching On the Buses, the things that Marx discusses
Pulling down my trousers and wooden trains.
