If Motorhead moved in next door to you,...... your lawn would die!
Another Ste Cork Creation, but what a sod to write!
Don't work for LINEL, it's lousy money, flies everywhere, the whole
place stinks of shit - human and cattle -, there's NOTHING to do but work,
no TV or anything, no pubs, nowhere to go, no car -

I could go on but I've only got 640k ram after all.

- "Do Your Best"
- "Jump"
- "Down In The Park"
- "Tubeway Army"

see my eyes, and the tongue of a killer, I'm a humanoid logic machine....
I could not find the file '$' anywhere, sorry.

Down In The Park with a friend called 5.
Picture - Eyes in a cold steel frame. The freaks arrive, broken
needles and blood,"Oh! what you on Man to get those eyes?"
