My Poetic Licence (Live)

歌詞

MY POETIC LICENCE (An affirmation) Yo! I'm the MC of ranting rebel poetry I know my history and my identity I'm independent, a red cottage industry DIY from here to eternity Now let me tell you what's been going on - I take my inspiration from centuries long gone Oral tradition of sedition, that's my position No court jester with a tame disposition... Poetic licence? Twenty-five years I've had one and they don't come easy, they're not given out for fun. You have to earn it, work and sweat and move not get stuck in a dead poet bore groove... I earned mine in dirty scummy punk clubs Rock gigs, arts centres, festivals and dodgy pubs And yes, once or twice I've had to fight - but when a fascist hits a poet, the poet's doing something right! So listen up, this MC's here to stay Wild all those years ago and still fired up today. I love words and I've got this message for you: Poetry's not boring - though some poets bore you And I have to say that some poets bore me. They're about as fun as a week on the lavatory! Dull and pretentious, playing the Art Game - real problem is they give the rest of us a bad name. But I'm in the forward line, down there in the scrum. Tedious whining poets - up your bum! Now some of the critics think my stuff's no good but I earn my living at it - those jerks never could Yes, as you see, I'm a little bit bolshy too But that's just one of the ways I want to get through Sometimes it's cerebral, quiet, esoteric wit - sometimes it's loud and hard and rude as shit! I love words and I love ‘em in the red and raw I like to use them in ways they've not been used before Want you to laugh and want you to think as well Bollocks to TV - this is live, as live as hell! Oral tradition - the real origins of poetry. Attila the Stockbroker - ranting rebel MC. Dean of the Social Surrealist University. Welcome to my wild poetic journey! Attila the Stockbroker
