Empties from Found Wanting by Rob Britton

Radio’s a lipstick mark
camera flash across the park
“Up from 25 to 10”
dressing for effect again
Blonde of brain are in my roots
studded belts and ‘fuck me boots’
Out by “In at number 3”
Don’t you stay awake for me

Deep below the orange glow
on cold bus station seats
Dreams are only for the lonely
and you’re stuck here with me

Rolling floors and lighter sparks
corner creatures kiss the dark
Blue to red and back again
raffle ticket on a pin
Heels with nothing left to lose
sodden carpets stick to shoes
Light and bass and out by three
did you stay awake for me?

Deep below the orange glow
on cold bus station seats
Dreams are only for the lonely
and you’re stuck here with me
yeah you’re stuck here with me
