No More (1998)



Electric gadgets in the home,
I switch them off.
In the dark I sit alone.
I think of things and scare myself,
I put the book back on the shelf.
No more Stephen King.


Is that the wind or a banshee calling?
There is something out in the garden.
My skin is crawling.
I look out and find,
My neighbour’s cat wailing.
No more Hammer videos.


I haven’t got the nerves for horror,
My stomach’s made of jelly.
All these monsters, ghosts and gore,
Perhaps it’s me, am I a bore?
No more tales of blood and woe.
I just can’t take it anymore.
