All Alone In Arcadia

[Hate Is Art]

Remember the days when the cigarettes grew on trees, we'd dance in the leaves and play in the seas, ripped jeans, scuffy hair, no one would care if we played guitar all night long.

All night long, bang the drum then fill it up with crack, coke and junk then smoke, all night long. Smoke our lives away. A brown breath to smoke our friendship away.

Maybe someday we can go home, and sit by our guitars and play in Arcadia.

[che's long lost daughter]

Did you write this one? I think it's nice.

[RedAnarchist]

good poem, but is Arcadia real or metaphorical?

[Hate Is Art]

Somewhere in between.

And yes I did write, thansk Jude :)

[dopediana]

that's hot... what does it mean?

[Hate Is Art]

:)

I wouldn't say anything too concrete, it could mean whatever you want it to mean. It's about Arcadia and drug abuse and friendship and youth. The good stuff.

Frank
Frankly in love with Frank, Red Gloves are frankly,
Frankly quite disgusting. (but quite sexy)

We've been spoken to but not listened to,
We have got it coming our way today too, (so you say, but I don't believe you)

Frankly in love with Frank, Red Gloves are frankly,
Frankly quite disguting. (and terribly lonely)

Whats the attraction to tea and India? Or to Indians over tea?
What ever happened to our Dan and Olivia? And what's wrong with me?

But hun, take my advice, I haven't a clue but you couldn't pull it off.
But hun, it all comes with a price (tag), Oujia Board says - Take if off.

Frankly in love with Frank, Red Gloves are frankly,
Frankly quite disgusting. (please touch me)

I always wanted to dance with you,
But it appears we don't have a clue. (or a chance)

Second Poem I've ever written (lyrics for songs dont count)

[cubist]

nice man, the first is inspirational to thought, especially as i am cained out of my tree.

cheers :)

[dopediana]

luke, this is good stuff! it's all tinkly and pensive........ you can sort of sing it when you say it.

[Hate Is Art]

First Song is about drugs ruining friendship and wanting everything to be back just the way it was before. Don't fall into the trap Cubist, don't destroy yourself with drugs.

Second one is about someone intruding (frank) on your relationship, which isn't really there. It's all quite personal, so if your not me I dunnoif youd get some of the references in the 2nd one.

New Poems

The Best Days of Our Lives
Liberal, Liberty, Socialist, Law
Because Babe, I've seen it all before
Whining, Wussy, Pot-hed, Whore
Because Babe, I've seen it all before


My Political Awakening
Stupid Jobless Meandering


And if these are the best day of my life.
And if this is the best time of our lives.
Please kill me now
Please kill me now

Hammer, Sickle, Restar, Rose
The day I saw your face I froze

Camera Shy
Camera Shy and All you wanna do is die.
Camera Shy and All you wanna do is cry.
Camera Shy and Sometimes you gotta try.
Camera Shy but Reclusive is always a lie.

Cameras, Lifes stored in a photograph.
Lay the blame, on everybody else.
Introverted, nothing ever hurts.
Cant get to Sleep, nothing is for real.

You are the useless sluts that we have to own.
You are the wasters that we have to model.

Agnostic, All you need is belief.
Agnostic, How do you spell relief?
Agnostic, What goes on inside?
Agnostic, make up and decide!

Cameras, Lifes stored in a photograph.
Lay the blame, on everybody else.
Introverted, nothing ever hurts.
Cant get to Sleep, nothing is for real.

All you need is to pretend
Cos nothing, nothing has no end

[Socialsmo o Muerte]

One of those sounds like one of Pete Doherty's scribblings I read not long ago.

[Red Heretic]

if i'm not mistaken, Arcadia is a leftist town in California that banned large chain stores from it's city, correct?

[Hate Is Art]

No Idea, Arcadia is a reference to the utopia sung about by the Libertines.

[Hate Is Art]

Hearts For Hand Grenades
Hearts for hand grenades and a barbed wire fence.
Hearts for broken families and a mother at a funeral.
Hearts for anything but love.

Democracy for freedom and for a cage.
Democracy can be a focus of your rage.
Cos we could really use your rage.

Life is measured in cigarettes not years.
Billboard Propaganda could sum up our fears.
Advert Masterbation.

Societys eyes are scared.
