True Story

australian alien
Specimen of foreign matter
hermit because of no landing permit
here I sit in some dead frenchman'a tree
lookin out across this cuppa tea sea

Everybody round here has closed their ears
for the day in
Califlower Power Calais
& so i look at sea
Well-
I'm as free as a cat with 9 heads can be
so fresh from soil where it's ILLEGAL
to be me (or so says the homo-
secretary) just wait here
PLEASE.

---B BUT OFFICER … UNLOCK YR FACE!

To pass your port
To Dig White Cliffs
To Mend My West End Ways
must I swim
must I wear Woolworths wool
& peroxide my pubic hair
before you let me in

O England
England
Land where I cannot sing land
Turn me on
Not around

& leave me foolscap customs be
You can rape my papers
& search me for fleas
But let me go free
Where I please

Nude night
I knock at yr door
