Layers of artifice lining the shelves
To make you look what you're not
Satin and padding and ribbon and lace
To promote what you haven't quite got
An illusion in making, a conjuror's spell
Or a teenage girl's high school hell

People sitting alone
Connected by invisible thread

Sitting alone
That they'll never see
Have never met

Pop goes the 80s
Saccharine sounds
You brought me
Spoke to my teenage heart
My angst accompanied
By Morrissey
The Cure
For all my good times

Big Society
So proud in
Low slung jeans
So young
Your mother didn't know
Cheeky smile in
Schoolroom photo
On show
In a million papers
Badly printed
Who'd know?
That an 8 year old
So cool
Would bring a gun
To school
