100. Mixed Up Sayings

Dancing from the Chandelier
Swinging on the floor
Provides me with the
Penultimate chore.

For you seeeeeeeeeeeee.
The less I fall the more I stumble
The more I stumble
The less I learn.

The lessons learnt are that of cynicysm.
I lived too much in voyerism.

Holding onto a shot in the heart
Hurting from one in the hand
Rattles me from the start.
Develop dread - read into the next.

For you seeeeeeeeeeeee.
The less I fall the more I stumble
The more I stumble
The less I learn.

The lessons learnt are that of cynicysm.
I lived too much in voyerism.

As far as that
I didn't quite catch what the eye can see
Leaning into apologetic stance
Come now, it's time to take that chance.

99. Minor Majority

 You say that you wanna slowly come down
From the self - proclaimed clowns
The dreams that we both had were that on
The minor majority
Shit happens - it brings us down.

The live - in life of the Gateacre
Means less that the singular other
Two eggs gone
And another life is torn
Yet we all just move on.

For to prove
My love to you
For to prove
My love to you.

You tell me all that shit
Well to you, that was a minor hit

For to prove
My love to you
For to prove
My love to you.

Was but a minor thing,
But to agree is discipline.

For to prove
My love to you
For to prove
My love to you.

98. Midnight Snack

The sunlight shines on the mountains peak
Another cat stuck in an old oak tree
My mind is fading but I still see...

The dangers of man are few and far
Yet they panic about their prized rustic cars
Not getting them from A to B.

Open your eyes and soon you'll know
That all that glitters was once gold
And now it's stained to be kept in stories once well told.

Move with grace and equal power
Mankind has had it's hour
Now we all go away to hibernate again.

97. Michelle (A Disciplinary Letter)

From the desk of Andy Faul,
DPD Imports.




Dear Michelle,

Following on from our discussion yesterday, Tuesday 12th August, 2008, please accept this as my written notice to suspend the current grievance that I have raised.

Whilst I have officially terminated my grievance, I would also like it to be noted that I feel the current issues raised should serve as a valid point for future disciplinary hearings, whereby the punishment is first discussed with the General Manager of the floor (if not in appearance at the disciplinary), and agreed before the final outcome is both verbally and written to the individual.

I would like, if I may, to draw your attention to document Code of Practice - Disciplinary and grievance procedures, which can be found online. There are specific sections in this documentation, which outlines the following issues, which I feel need to be rebalanced for the employees;

Drawing up disciplinary rules and procedures
Page 18, 55.;
Rules should be specific, clear and recorded in writing. They also
need to be readily available to employees, for instance on a
noticeboard or, in larger organisations, in a staff handbook or on the
intranet. Management should do all they can to ensure that every
employee knows and understands the rules, including those
employees whose first language is not English or who have trouble
reading. This is often best done as part of an induction process.

Whilst I understand that there is a handbook available, I have yet to view this - when I requested the information, I was given two sheets of A4 paper, which told me nothing more than my contract had already specified. Had I managed to view this handbook, I may well have seen the information which states that further action can be taken after a disciplinary procedure. Unfortunately, this is the reasoning for me taking the action that I did.


Secondly, I would like to draw the following:

Page 19, 60.; Good disciplinary procedures should:
provide employees with the right to be accompanied.

Whilst I fully understand the reasoning for you not recognising Mr Steve Key as an official member of the Union, and in supporting Customer Service Agents, I believe he (or any other chosen member of the Union, who were to be appointed as representative), would indeed know where employees were due to stand on legal matters.
In this respect, may I please point out that the Union has the workers' (and, in my case, payees) interests at heart. Whilst I indeed work for the company of DPD UK, I also maintain the freedom, as well as integrity, to choose, so long as they are in the same company, my own representation.
With this in reason, I must admit that I still have full faith in Mr Key at this present moment, obviously so much as to the point that I let him take over the procedings, despite the fact that I could well have represented myself in hearings.
I personally believe that every person has the right to be accompanied by a representative, so as they can establish their positioning and reasoning for larger scale problems.


Thirdly, please examine:

Page 20, 61.;
It is important to ensure that everyone in an organisation understands
the disciplinary procedures including the statutory requirements. In
small firms this is best done by making sure all employees have
access to a copy of the procedures, for instance on a noticeboard,
and by taking a few moments to run through the procedures with the
employee. In large organisations formal training for those who use
and operate the procedures may be appropriate.

Once again, whilst I understood the information at my disposal, I could not gain access to a sufficient copy of a handbook, so I would like to request that a formal handbook is made available to all CEM's, so that agents may be able to view this when required.


Finally:

Further action
Page 20, 62.;
It is sensible to keep rules and procedures under review to make sure
they are always relevant and effective. New or additional rules should
only be introduced after reasonable notice has been given to all
employees and any employee representatives have been consulted.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read through this information.

I would be very greatful if you could please offer some form of feedback in regards to this, as I believe some valid points have been raised. If you so much as require any further information or help in regards to this letter, I would very much like to hear from yourself.

Finally, I would just like to state that I have written the end portion of this letter in regards to other people that do not have the experience, patience or knowledge to look up information such as this, and I simply want to attempt to help others in this respect, in areas that I feel I had some difficulties in.

Kindest regards,
Andy Faul.

96. Mel's Song

The posion in my pen only started when
My life as a single was perched on a pinnicle.
Hope soon disepersed into agony
And my own mind was a pre-disposed tragedy.

Yet when I look at the blue in your eyes
I can see why there is reason to breathe.
Reason to cope.
There is a faith predetermined never to need hope.

The confusion slowly lifted and after six years
The days have passed me by in the blink of swollen eyes
To gaze into the sun
I know I'm not the only one
Who feels the pain felt like the rain on my head
The trouble I've been through, you've been there too.
I love the way you try to look after me
How far we'll go, only time will see.

Yet when I look at the blue in your eyes
I can see why there is reason to breathe.
Reason to cope.
There is a faith predetermined never to need hope.
This faith sheds light like a blinding comet
For you my love, I won't write no sonnets
There are to many words to say
So as I can thank you in many different ways.

But you my love were not sent from above,
You were born into this world to save me, I'm sure.
You're not alone and neither am I.
I shall proclaim you as not just a passer by, but alibi.
From your Father's own seed
And your mother's womb
I see you as a comfort;
More than a chore.

The good and the bad times are all our own lines
In this tale of fate; But of late
You know I've not been fully there
As I look into thin air.
Let's hope that history is not repeating
Or this will be defeating the purpose
Of me and you being together.
Contuining in a rich vein and I'll be better.

Yet when I look at the blue in your eyes
I can see why there is reason to breathe.
Reason to cope.
There is a faith predetermined never to need hope.
This faith sheds light like a blinding comet
For you my love, I won't write no sonnets
There are to many words to say
So as I can thank you in many different ways.

95. McCoys

Some are red,
Some are blue
Some are green.
Obscene!

Some are tangerine,
and lack the flavour,
Some are yellow,
Yet never meller!

Quite rightly!

Potato icons
Devoid of emotions
What to do.
If the mouth finds you...

94. Massochism

We... Hate... Anorexia
The demon of Cancer
Going boldly to the
Middle of a chancer's head.

Screw... You... And your
Opinions of desperation
Plowing the void, living.
Winding up almost dead.

Rape... Me... And your
Deseased Family
I can't stand the sound
Your continuously making

I... Don't... Care about us
Why don't we split and live
Coz we can only forgive
The pornographic undertaking...

Behold...

I live in the twilight shadows
Your father swinging from the gallows
Of optimism
We can live and breathe
But no one can even see
the state of Massachism
Repelled in you and me.
No, No one can see;
The state of Massachism.

And... We... Soldier on
Despite the fact that love
and life has gone
From us.

Though... We'll... see....
The goodness fulfilled
In our hearts
We'll always be free.

Withstand this...

I live in the twilight shadows
Your father swinging from the gallows
Of optimism
We can live and breathe
But no one can even see
the state of Massachism
Repelled in you and me.
No, No one can see;
The state of Massachism.

93. Marriage

Offers are offers
and truth
is ruthless
Who am I to disagree?

I've spent so long
Being
The favourite son,
Why should I
Spend time on a bended knee?

The answer my dear
Is right in front of you
I got no time to be alcoholically tuned.

Marry me
And get that
Smile off ma face.
I stand alone in the conjoining race.

92. Love and Gold

Your beauty sparks ruptures hearts
And men vent their spleens.
They always tell you ne'er the truth
And gratify themselves by their own means.

But you know me, it's plain to see
That I just state my case.
I try not lie, but sometimes truth is aligned
So as your own heart can be saved.

I know not why you're placed in a cot
All snuggled in bubble-wrap.
To protect you from life? To abscond you from strife?
Please don't fall into the trap.

I've seen and believed that you are relieved
From the din of pastures old.
So just remember this; your life is a bliss
And full of love and gold.

91. Lotus

Oh, let the rain fall on my beliguered head
Oh, let my roots fall down into thicker ground.
Oh I'm confused by my surroundings.
I just want to be a part of this.
The time has come for me to hold sure
The beliefs that I'd applied from my old man.
This hallowed ground
Shall be my home.

I am the lotus.

I am the Lotus

I am the Lotus.

Dream a simple life unfathomed by major leagues
But devoid of simplistic means that falls greatfully
To my feet.

Oh roots tread ground; Oh my petals shan't drown

I am the Lotus.

The time is mine to apply and grow
The knowledge that is all my own.
The rain shall come the sun will shine
And when I'm picked I'll say goodbye.

I am the lotus.

90. Life Attack

The days are numbered that we have planned.
The life rumored shall never be under comprehence.
The Candid views of paradise,
The intrepid love of my own life.

The days that I dream are not for sharing.
The life I lead is not for caring.
This feeling I feel is beyond the truth.
I wish I could relive my own youth.
Alcoholk and cigarettes are the bane of myself
The life I lived shall forever be on the shelf

The the the the the the the the the the te ta te.
Shall never go away.
I shall love my life
And live just like

The rest of the people around me failing.
The story shall be ending in sweet lament.

The days that I dream are not for sharing.
The life I lead is not for caring.
This feeling I feel is beyond the truth.
I wish I could relive my own youth.
Alcoholk and cigarettes are the bane of myself
The life I lived shall forever be on the shelf

We could all learn from our own devices.
Else we'll be bit on the arse.
Save yourself
Proclaim your sins.
If you don't know much else.
Only fate shall win.

Be on the level
Save your soul and mind.
Wind up where you want to be
See yourself in what your in.

Resolve to be resolute.
Never stray and be obtuse.
The gang shall have your back.
Even during a life attack.

The days that I dream are not for sharing.
The life I lead is not for caring.
This feeling I feel is beyond the truth.
I wish I could relive my own youth.
Alcoholk and cigarettes are the bane of myself
The life I lived shall forever be on the shelf

89. Life

Self depreciation is such a waste.
You only decrease in value;
Stick thin and looking a paler shade of paste,
Feeling so goddam shallow.

Stick it in your arms.

The needle loves you.

No one else comes close.

Your there to be used.

To be a slave.

To be waylayed.

To turn into stone.

To die alone.


You warm up in the afternoon
Strapped by a belt around the waste.
Evening comes to soon
You start tempting fate.

Stick it in your arms.

The needle loves you.

No one else comes close.

Your there to be used.

To be a slave.

To be waylayed.

To turn into stone.

To die alone.


If Sid was alive
He'd help you through.
If Kurdt wasn't cremated;
He'd be sure to guide you home.

Stick it in your arms.

The needle loves you.

No one else comes close.

Your there to be used.

To be a slave.

To be waylayed.

To turn into stone.

To die alone.


Senses fail
your here.
Struggling to prevail.
Holding dear.
Life.

88. Lies (Rock and Roll Song)

All stars a blazin' and alight
Like the setting sun your blind
To the hyprocracy bound to kin
Set upon them like an unholy din.
So lay your guns to rest and
Feel the love, your truely blessed.

Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.
Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.
Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.
Yeah; Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.

The message they provide is deep
And meaningless - they resolve to solve
The plight of life before us.
But they cling to the shreds of truth
That keep us away from harm.
Just another unlucky charm.

Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.
Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.
Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.
Yeah; Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.

And the poets and demons raise the fields
Upon the equilateral plain.
They hold their breath and try again
To breathe new life into the propoganda
that is on there agenda.
Save yourself and scream out loud

Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.
Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.
Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.
Yeah; Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.

Saving yourself from the demons yonder
Your mind ponders evolution
Have we really changed - politicians lie
They are burnt in invisible flames.
Hold the one truth near and
Say it with me:

Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.
Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.
Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.
Yeah; Save your soul and embrace
Rock and Roll.

87. Latino Heat

Quo signo nata es?

Scorpio.

Mellita, domi adsum

Good.

Isto pensitaris?

No.

Ventis secundis, tene cursum.

Always the way.

Totum dependeat.

As ever, to the left...

Te audire no possum. Musa sapientum fixa est in aure.

Bizarre.

Absum!

Me too...

86. Kingdom Come

Come the Kingdom come
Mother Earth has lost a son
Time is tight so
Stand and fight
We shall ignite
The satellite and
Procure whats done is done.

The time has so passed
Since I gazed right through
The procreation of relation
And there's nothin' to do
So I stand and hold my ground
Knowing that I'm right
To believe in what I think
Let's not raise an almighty feud.

But the actions are poised
To ring the night on through
I'll look into the eyes of my creator
I've nothing better to do

The stance of which we stand
Is that of his own hand
The feeling of fear
Let's not shed a tear

For the Kingdom come.
For the kingdom come.

But I know the time is right
To stay up late all night
Binging on the feelings
That I've lost from you.
The acts of vengeance
Independant
From the mother
I had in you.

So we stand and take our vow
Never to back down
The state of our relations
Devoid of indescretions;
Warming and feeling
To the point of inclination
Toward
The point of us kneeling.

Devoid of featured feeling.

For the Kingdom come.
For the Kingdom come.

You have borne a true born son.

For the sake of being wrong.

To the bane on everyone.

But we never back down
Though the roads are
Strewn with clouds
And clowns.

The minds are kempt with
The images of the Turin Shroud.

If every land had the heart
Of you my dear
Then the worst offenders
Would be held in fear
For the lack of
The pain we feel within
I feel everyone's anger
No-one seals it in

But the lack of
Contradiction
In the words above
Can hold my resurrection
For the lies
Are truth
And I just want you near
I still hold you, my love, my hope, my fears.

For the Kingdom come.
For the Kingdom come.

85. Kevin

Kevin was a drummer
Always down and bummed out
Part of the the wrong scene
Started drinking gasoline
Mixed it with some dust
To clear out the rust
In his stressed out mind
Made him feel devine

And it's a shame
It's a shaAaAaAame.......

Now he's gone.

Kevin sat at home
Fighting tooth and bone
To save his own soul
Setting up his goals.
Went cold Turkey
But he won the lottery
Went and bought a bag of weed
Needed a lobotomy.

And it's a shame
It's a shaAaAaAame.......

Now he's gone.

Kevin started Rehab
But he found it real drab
Kicking round a tin can
Tried to kill his old MAN
What a person
Should have been a servant
Never have had this life
Might've even had a wife

And it's a shame
It's a shaAaAaAame.......

Now he's gone.

Kevin dreamed of children
Groupies always in demand
Of his obscene wang
Went and fucked another man.
Oh what a mistake
The kid was in the 5th grade
Then he got sent down
He's in a peado's playground.

And it's a shame
It's a shaAaAaAame.......

Now he's gone.

Kevin died through meth and pills
Made himself real ill
Case of die or be killed
He jumped out from the windowsill
His body stayed shattered
Down below people scattered
His blood splattered
And bones were shattered.

And it's a shame
It's a shaAaAaAame.......

Now he's gone.

84. Jon Dudley

You can feel without emotions,
be loyal without devotion,
go through the motions
without comprehension,
feel happy but never content.
Expectations,
procrastinations,
little action.
What do you really bring to your friends?
What do you have?
What do you share?
You're merely a shell,
an opaque lamp burning bright inside
but doesn't share it with those in need of light.
You are a curious distraction
with so little value

83. Jesus and Man

Wake up scared
Parylised with utter fear
Demanding all that beckons now.
For the constand Demons
Screaming like a beacon
Shall astound your senses from eyes to ears.
Producing diamonds like tiny tears.

Seeing through my eyes
Can't you see they hypnotise
And my words they mesmerize your own soul
The day has come to pass
My life seen through a glass
The world is ungrateful as a whole.
You can't get very far on the dole.

And we all stand together.
Jesus and Man.
We got the plan to
Encapsulate
The whole world in our hands.
So come on all ye
And gather round.
The noises that we make
Will never make a sound.
Because they don't care...

We all scream and shout
Never to back down
This whole religion thing is a sham.
We all know the score.
We've been here once before;
The world waits on their own fair plans.

The whole salvation in but on one man.

And we all stand together.
Jesus and Man.
We got the plan to
Encapsulate
The whole world in our hands.
So come on all ye
And gather round.
The noises that we make
Will never make a sound.
Because they don't care...

You stroll in for gratified pay
Knowing that oh one - some day
The status of you will be set in stone.
But you march on.
Walking on an atomic bomb
The shells shall never be cast till you say...

That the world shall demand
Better health and better plans.
The whole starvation thing's just a sham.
The government's open door.
You've seen it once before.
You wrote your God a letter
And he daren't reply.

Your God is seldom in the sky.

The God is stalling on the question of "why?"

And we all stand together.
Jesus and Man.
We got the plan to
Encapsulate
The whole world in our hands.
So come on all ye
And gather round.
The noises that we make
Will never make a sound.
Because they don't care...

So we stand and stare.

82. Jealous Guy 2009

The devil that was once in me
Is not what I want to be
The Jealous Guy
From the year 1963.
With all to our name
And yet you pray
Lord don't let me hurt you
One more day.

I cheated and disposed
Alienating my spouse.
I'm a Jealous Guy
In 1974.
The things I have done
My love;
Lead me to believe
You and he are not for me.

So I loved you and left you
We fell apart.
Maybe it was me,
Maybe it was doomed from the start.
To be a Jealous Guy
Is not what we wanted to transpire.

In the year 1985 I've been long gone
The pro peace unions did me wrong.
I loved what I'd done,
I could have went on.
But alas, it was not be.
Though I'll be remembered in twenty fifteen
And beyond....
It's been so long.

The rights of a man show
That the means of the man.
Don't carry you home.

81. Jazz

Soft tone sounds
Neo Jazz Knows no bounds.
Skiddly do bap wap wap.

Trumpet vs Oboe.
Oh No!
Do be do be do!

Never to win.
Things I've seen.
Illuminating.

At best the frame freezes
You wanna catch the jazz deseases?
Suck on the thought.

Skoobedooloobedoodoo.
Shoomeshoomeshalalala.
Beep beep be doo.

Going downtown.
Clown in the frown.
Neon wilderness.

Jazz Dress.

Impress.

Yeah.
