NEGATIVE CREEP Destiny, hold my hand, protect me from the world. Umbrella, hover above my head, keep me from the rain.
PLUGHOLE FANTASY I'm obsessed with the name Lola. And the point is?

'ZINES
Last night an angel appeared at my bedside, looked me directly in the eyes and said: "You need to change your ways, give up alternative music and take up harp lessons."
I replied: "Get lost halo-head! Your rambling over my Garbage CD."

I have written you all a poem:
If that stupid pop act Westlife paid a visit to my town,

We are the sorry result of an accidental UV ray striking a random molecule millions of years ago. We are destined to die in a radioactive wasteland or a designer disease pit.
