I've got no reason to stay here my inbox and updates are all clear Myspace and Bebo they came and they went But this blue and white bastard it will not relent So I scroll on down Feel the hours drown As I read these pointless posts i've found

There was a riot in the pound shop There was a riot in the pound shop today Until they put them in a van While all the other ones ran Should have had a plan I saw dead pigs hanging up today Til someone came and cut its head off in front of me I went to the doctor for a cortisone injection I can’t move my wrist and I can’t make no genuflection ‘least after this then it’ll face the right direction singing Happy birthday Green Mind Happy birthday Allan Goodbye Kevin Ayers

The Hunt 05:26
Landlord comes around, sez “your lease is up, Move out my house and get out your stuff” ‘cause You don’t own You don’t own You don’t own Your own home A couple and a friend want a two-bed flat But the letting agent won’t allow for that ‘cause You don’t own You don’t own You don’t own Your own home They don’t want students or DSS So the only thing they offer is homelessness ‘cause You don’t own You don’t own You don’t own Your own home Oh where will we find A place? It’s stressing me out no end And I’m starting to bore my friends It’s just like a jungle You sift through the rubble And try to find a patch that you can claim Oh where will we find A place? well maybe Bucky Fuller’s gonna Put me in his gesodesic dome Oh who ho ho Or pass me a dymaxion I don’t mind living in an old silo Oh no no no Maybe I’ll go back to the highlands And buy into a crofting scheme A couple of sheep and a piece of land And that would be a pleasant dream Off the grid Off the grid I will go Off the grid And off the grid I’ll suddenly go I’ll staple together a couple of caravans By the loch with a view of the sea A compost toilet, a solar panel And that would be a pleasant dream Off the grid Off the grid I will go Off the grid And off the grid I’ll suddenly go But then out of nowhere We got ourselves a viewing And I don’t want to jinx it But I’ve got a lucky feeling It’s over It’s over Its over We’ve got a flat No more searching on gumtree hour after hour No more viewings for flats that don’t even have a working shower It’s over

On your knees pink blotch of bleach Ransom money at the end of a lease Up a ladder, stain out of reach Three hundred quid that I desperately need Cut all the grass, sweep up the leaves Beg and scrape make the landlord pleased Blue tack marks must stay unseen Deposit, come back Safe to me

about

The Sloth is interrupted from an intense facebook-scrolling sesh by a message from the landlord - he's getting kicked out. After a stressful flat-hunt he cleans out the old place to get back the deposit, and comes across a mysterious manuscript hidden amongst his stuff. The front reads: 'The Sloth Origin Saga'...
