Composure (The Nineties Way) - explicit

One more scotch for the road

Unhealthy, I know I’ve been told

Can’t drink diet cola on ice

That fucking after-taste I despise



I hate more than I could ever love

Result of a successful evolution campaign

Those bastards won that race 2000 years ago

So now I’m no longer seen as friend, but foe



No longer do I fear that unknown road

It’s actually become too well known

No asset to search for originality

Just another playground for potential immortality



I, too, become seemingly confused

Moralities contradicted in their own right

So I sip that liquid to clear my head

Never better composed than when crashed out on my bed.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Written by a much younger and naive Boarster, on 25/03/1996, posted here to perhaps inspire me, or somebody else, to write a "Composure (The Naughties Way)". I think I intended this to be a song, but it never eventuated to anything in particular... ;o)
