OCTAGON

Don't go there; don't play their sordid game

A den of debauchery and deception;

A coven of cackling misery

Don't laugh. don't fall into that trap.

Don't sit quiet with childish glassy eyes

Waiting for the sky to fall and not hurt

There's a reason; you've just not seen it

A world of misdirection, of hope pinned to music

Of low-life cutpurses in open court

Laugh in the wrong place, I dare you

Cry and worse and feel guilty in the bargain

Apologise for being a fool

He's behind you!!!

She's no good for you!!!

You'll be sorry!!!

Keep away if you've any sense

Don't let them talk you round

You're better not knowing

Stay home and watch TV; it's safer
