Shattered, shattered
Love and hope and sex and dreams
Are still surviving on the street
Look at me, I��m in tatters!
I��m a shattered
Shattered
Friends are so alarming
My lover��s never charming
Life��s just a cocktail party on the street
Big apple
People dressed in plastic bags
Directing traffic
Some kind of fashion
Shattered
Laughter, joy, and loneliness and sex and sex and sex and sex
Look at me, I��m in tatters
I��m a shattered
Shattered
All this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter ��bout
Shmatta, shmatta, shmatta -- I can��t give it away on 7th avenue
This town��s been wearing tatters (shattered, shattered)
Work and work for love and sex
Ain��t you hungry for success, success, success, success
Does it matter? (shattered) does it matter?
I��m shattered.
Shattered
Ahhh, look at me, I��m a shattered
I��m a shattered
Look at me- I��m a shattered, yeah
Pride and joy and greed and sex
That��s what makes our town the best
Pride and joy and dirty dreams and still surviving on the street
And look at me, I��m in tatters, yeah
I��ve been battered, what does it matter
Does it matter, uh-huh
Does it matter, uh-huh, I��m a shattered
Don��t you know the crime rate is going up, up, up, up, up
To live in this town you must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough!
You got rats on the west side
Bed bugs uptown
What a mess this town��s in tatters I��ve been shattered
My brain��s been battered, splattered all over manhattan
Uh-huh, this town��s full of money grabbers
Go ahead, bite the big apple, don��t mind the maggots, huh
Shadoobie, my brain��s been battered
My friends they come around they
Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter
Pile it up, pile it high on the platter |

Is that Vogon poetry? It's pretty damn bad.
If you wrote that crap yourself then I guess you'll be declared an honoury Vogon in no time at all. My gothic style gf when I was 17 could have written better bad poetry than that.
Who was the perp of this hideous poem. |

First duffus made light of the tragedy in London. In this thread he makes light of the feelings of the family of one of the perpetrators.
Focusing only on the family, I can't help thinking about how they feel. To have a son missing for several days during this, worrying where your kid is, is he OK? The days go by and he doesn't call or come home; the panic mounts. Then to call the police to report him missing only to find out that yes, he was killed in the bombings, but that he was the bomber. 'Shattering' is a fair description of that kind of experience.
What is the correct word to describe someone who seems to lack all natural human emotion? Psychopath? |

Yeah, that seems to be the right description. Others that spring to mind for the OP are 'troll' and 'jackass'. |

Some girls give me money
Some girls buy me clothes
Some girls give me jewelry
That I never thought I'd own
Some girls give me diamonds
Some girls, heart attacks
Some girls I give all my bread to
I don't ever want it back
Some girls give me jewelry
Others buy me clothes
Some girls give me children
I never asked them for
So give me all your money
Give me all your gold
I'll buy you a house back in Zuma beach
And give you half of what I own
Some girls take my money
Some girls take my clothes
Some girls get the shirt off my back
And leave me with a lethal dose
French girls they want Cartier
Italian girls want cars
American girls want everything in the world
You can possibly imagine
English girls they're so prissy
I can't stand them on the telephone
Sometimes I take the receiver off the hook
I don't want them to ever call at all
White girls they're pretty funny
Sometimes they drive me mad
Black girls just wanna get fucked all night
I just don't have that much jam
Chinese girls are so gentle
They're really such a tease
You never know quite what they're cookin'
Inside those silky sleeves
Give me all you money
Give me all your gold
I'll buy you a house back in Zuma beach
And give you half of what I own
Some girls they're so pure
Some girls so corrupt
Some girls give me children
I only made love to her once
Give me half your money
Give me half your car
Give me half of everything
I'll make you world's biggest star by half
So gimme all your money
Give me all your gold
Let's go back to Zuma beach
I'll give you half of everything I own |

While imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, it is also a sign of a lack of imagination and creativity. |

Ya-ta, you're not a Stones fan, I see.
That's OK. Here's something you're sure to like.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
