Dead Dog in an Alleyway (Explicit)

Dead dog in an alley, dusted with snow

on a bed of burst binbags

underneath the big fans behind the Premier Inn

and For Your Eyes Only

No fit place to spend the night -

Maybe I can go in the pedestrian tunnel?

Stag-do's and football pricks -

they give me the most shit

Disgusting animal

Over there in the labyrinth of neon

you can hear the voices lift through the icy air

Hooting and projectile vomiting

and the distant sound of sirens

Dead dog in an alleyway, dreaming of home

in the moment just before I awake to a savage kicking

Blows rain down upon my through the darkness of my sleeping bag

Help me, help me, please someone

Won't you please help me?

Anyone?

The city melts away into a crisp new day

I am still here

Drifting out of the glowing Nando’s

you can hear the families' chatter with each swing of the door

Music, tinkling cutlery, and the laughter of the little ones

Over there in the labyrinth of neon

you can hear the voices lift through the icy air

Hooting and projectile vomiting

and the distant sound of sirens
