Vodka Tax
There's always an extra cost on the Cubao jeep
Give the guy in the jeep your 15 pesos fare
Expect a peso back and he keeps it It typical o. The Montalban run the extra peso fleet ha!
Shall I out.my book prices up?
Charge an extra 7% like they do
Use them as an example
Extra costs on top of this and that
You know how it is with service charges
Surcharges tax insurance parking fees etc
Call it what you want do I become the same?
Add an extra 7% on top to pay.for my vodka?
Make it an extra 25%!

Fishes
Stay go decide what to do
Leave the company for a new job
Leave your wife for a new wife
Leave the country for a new country
Leave your body for a new body
All this and more decide what to do
Is this really needed or salad dressing?
I want a million book sales
To be aged 34 forever more
For her to be back in my life
None of it will happen just now
I'll wait cast my net see what I get
It's always a good ride fresh fish

Feel the lead grind of call centre work
Six thousand hour deficit for November
How the fuck did this happen?
Bosses out twelve on Australian account training
Several others were fired or quit
I'll resign in January new year new job new start
After getting my thirteen month pay
And a new passport to fly to Shangri La
Away from this call centre hellfire grind
Look at the young guy in the bikers jacket
His jelled hair in a quiff old skool rock n roll
He can make something of his life
Not bpo call centre grind like us
Grinding you down till nothing
I think what I'll spend the cash on?

Berli
When you get to my age
Any female lover will do
When you're young none will do
What brings on these views?
What of the half way point?
Which half is fine
Which half is not
There's a ledger
It tellies them all
Are you in there?
One I accepted
One I refused
My Manila times
I'm miss Berlin
