Friend of the People

I was talking to a friend of the people

Was kissing babies like a diplomat

was on remand & on my best behaviour

shaking hands & getting in on the act....

The business people were getting drunker than usual

The conversation slipped below the skull

Exchanging glances with a reporter from Teen Hits

I'm an apprentice whore on my way to Babylon

I was a bit like you

You showed me what to do

I was introduced to the sound of confusion

Got propositioned by a passing nun

I was indisposed & unavailable for comment

I'm on the borderline

with nowhere to go

I was a bit like you

You showed me what to do
