That's What I like by Spottiswoode & His Enemies

Girls with glasses

on top of their asses

That's what I like

Big old fat ones

Yellow and black ones

That's what I like

Ladies from Boston with college degrees

Swimmers and gymnasts with knobbly knees

Working class mothers

and rich divorcées

That's what I like

Young ones with pimples

Fun ones with dimples

That's what I like

Sly ones and Strippers

Shy ones in slippers

That's what I like

Farmers' daughters

Engineers' wives

Girls who throw parties

Girls who throw knives

Spinsters who've made the most of their lives

That's what I like

But only just to look

Darling I promise I'll

[ incoherent ]

Born again Christians

[ incoherent ]

That's what I like

Brunettes redheads

Feminists deadheads

That's what I like

Girls who've been 30 for 25 years

Some they talk dirty

So cover your ears

Ladies who ride you like Charioteers

That's what I like

But only just to look

Darling I promise

[ incoherent ]

Vegetarians hooked on vitamins

Arabs ,Jews, senior citizens

Russians, Turks

Tutsis, Hutus

Busty girls from Tonga

in Tutus

Is it so strange Is it so wrong

I am not ashamed to sing this song

Because that's what I like

Yeah that's what I like

I like I like I like

I like I like I like

I like I like I like

That's what I like

That's what I like

That's what I like

That's what I like

Tell Freedom not to Worry

Tell Freedom not to worry.
She'll get to see the light
Of day
Someday
Tell Freedom not to fight
So hard
Justice is on her way
Once freed,
Justice won't dilly dally
but come straight to her door.
Why she's held up so by History isn't
Much of a mystery
We all know History to repeat himself.
Tell Freedom of Liberty
That proud son of of the soil
Felled in combat
Leaving behind a broken
Forgotten Legacy
And a battered Equality
Unstable on her two feet
Tell Freedom it all shall pass
She'll once more get to see the light
Of day

Twenty Seven Guns

 
Oh Uganda! May God uphold you

In the cusp of His forgiving hand

For thee is archaic in thy reasoning,

Thy functions wax temperamental

Once upon a time long forgotten now

We lay our future in thy constricting hand

United, Free-

Promises tossed around carelessly

Soon abandoned

In the dusts of history

For liberty

Brought to you by the Twenty Seven guns

Came in Limited Edition

Soon forgotten

They said,

Together we'll always stand

Such a lie,

Rather, together they've always stood

Oh Uganda! The land of Freedom

Hope, Faith and Matsiko

Beautiful names for beautiful people

Our love and labour we give

In dilapidated labour wards

And with neighbours all

Lamenting the state of nation we live

At our country's call

We give it all again

In peace and friendship we'll live

Hopefully

Oh Uganda! The land that feeds us

On a stable diet of rubber bullets, tear gas and

Chokefuls of dust

By sun and fertile soil nothing is grown

But our reticence.

For our own dear land,

We'll always stand

Apart and a part of a multi tribal, multi-racial crowd

Not yet there, and not yet beyond saving

The Pearl of Africa's Crown

Lies hidden deep in our hearts

**Uganda National Anthem**

The Happy Couple | Death Poem by Alysia Harris

There will come a day when the fear of death

Will be the favourite joke passed amongst corpses

And they are already laughing

My love please don’t be afraid

But there will come a day when field mice play

In our empty sockets. When our bones

Become homes for living creatures

Other than our egos

And when time jostles our skeletons

Out of the composition that is me

And you

And will write with us love letters that spell…

I owe you Eternity

If we believe in life after death

Then I often wonder why

We assume the dead like coffins

When people were never meant to live in boxes

So I pray that our children have the good sense

To leave us a little wiggle room

Leave us exposed like stray dogs in a thunderstorm

And I will hear the breeze but not know it as the breeze

And I will feel the rain but not know it as the rain

And I will behold the sky but not know it as the sky

Instead I will hear the breeze and think it’s your love

Returned into the hearth of my ears

And I will feel the rain and think it is the pinprick of your kiss

And when the rain is tender I will know that something has softened you

And when the rain is violent I will know something has shaken you

And in this newfound understanding without eyes or ears…or hands…or lips

Our bare bones will make love in the dirt never knowing our nakedness

Imagine!

The wind coursing through a calligraphy of weeds.

In our disrepair we have grown garden of ourselves

Sprouts of curious grass shooting from my eye sockets

Our knuckles, hard, smooth skipping stones

Meant for child’s play

And the devilish sun picking its way through your missing teeth

And neither one of us can keep from smiling these days

And the days go unnoticed

And the nights go unslept

And we talk with our souls

Through the holes in our ribs

Where organs once sat

Imagine!

Your skull and mine reduced to grins

Both washed clean of our skins

And our sins

Growing young again

Forgetting why we ever wrinkled

Why we ever furrowed our brows

With the plow of anger become

Become dust with me

Insignificant in every way

I will love you

Even after your marrow has become a whisper

In your bones

Nothing but a snickering of gravel

Let us soak in these spaces

Our shadows left behind

Your skeleton laced with mine

And I will tie your soles to my ankles

And know what it’s like to step into a dream

And you will try on my backbone

And see how bad it hurt

The day you said you were calling it quits

I don’t remember why you left

Or why you came back

I don’t know how many years have passed

Not really sure years passed at all

All I know is the rain falls you kiss me

Like a rainfall

The sun it bleaches us clear and every day is a romance

All this to say

All this to say we are already laughing

There is a wedding of earthworms and pebbles waiting

When our tuxedo skeletons no longer fit

There is a place for our faces to lie

Planted beside forever smiling

There is the place where we can be still

And in love

There exists a place where we can

Still be in love

Just two gentle skulls.
