FORTY-ONE

I DREAM OF C86

I dream of C86

and where I came from

where my roots are

where I was born

A cute, freckly girl

with Tescos scrawled in biro

on a cheap cotton T-shirt

across my pert young breasts

A pile of scratched records at the head of my mattress

all in the wrong sleeves

indie, when it actually meant something

spinning on a 1960s Dansette record player

First time away from home

living on next to nothing

drinking myself to oblivion and back

and laughing all the way

And I really did lose my Pastels badge

at a club called The Sunshine Playroom

or was it at the The Zap

I don’t know, I was pissed

Start-rite teenagers

spotty grebos

cardigan clad Smiths fans

psychedelic shoegazers

and tiny bowl-cut angels

get out of my dream

because you’ve all become adults

and I can never have you back
