Title: I Hope You Like It

Prompt Page: Modern Girl -> Beckton Gasworks -> 1984

Lyrics:

You must be pretty bored by now watching me

just watching tv eating sushi off the cushions of my couch

so I learned a couple poems and I recite them in the dark

and if you like them I can learn a couple more this time tomorrow

cause I'm feelin' pretty guilty for my 1 surveillance agent

who's assigned to watch me through the 1-way glass

as much as I don't want this you have clearly drawn the short straw

and no one deserves a punishment like that

So I hope you like it, like what I'm doin

the little puppet shows I put on just for you and only you

I hope you like it, like what I'm doin

just for you

I can't keep novels in the house but I can do dramatic readings

of the pamphlets that they slip under the door

I do a pretty good impression of the freedom secretary

but my minister of peace still needs some work

If you like it, let me know, flip the lights but if you don't

I can probably teach myself a dance or two

We can workshop things together, I wanna practice and get better

the man inside the mirror, this one's for you

So I hope you like it, like what I'm doin

the little puppet shows I put on just for you and only you

I hope you like it, like what I'm doin

just for you

And when the revolution comes and they rip you from my walls

I hope you never saw it coming when your jurisdiction falls

I hope the little song and dance that I distracted you with is

the final tune stuck in your head when the realization hits

So I hope you like it, like what I'm doin

the little puppet shows I put on just for you and only you

I hope you like it, like what I'm doin

just for you

Title: The Thatcher Effect

Prompt Page: Modern Girl -> Picture Disc -> Optical Illusions

Lyrics:

Do you know that you talk in your sleep when I'm driving

Mumbling moaning mostly incoherent but

sometimes a phrase just slips out before you bite it off

I can't quite explain how it feels to be hearing you

Telling the truth after so many years

I could write you a letter or better put it in a song

You swear you're arriving

It looks like you're walking away

You blur my surroundings when I focus in on your face

Your features all scramble and change

The shadows are pulled centre-stage

Til I can't even see what I thought I saw yesterday

Do you know that you kinda look weird when you're smiling

It's all in your teeth, doesn't quite reach your eyes and

I bet with a little more practise you could have it down

The insides are all coming tumbling out

And the upsides are dwarfed by my towering doubts

And I can't take my eyes off this horrible mess we have found

It's not what it looks like

You say, that my senses are flawed

Look at this way, you'll see that it's nothing at all

I've come at it from every angle

What a brilliant trick you have pulled

I can't even see what I thought I saw yesterday
