about

This is a song for everyone of course but I have no doubt that other Gen X slacker burn-outs like me will get a little misty-eyed and, perhaps, spend a few moments back in one of their grunge-era share-house lounge rooms, bong in hand, Jerry Springer on the TV, mouldy bowl of cereal on the coffee table where it will stay for days, possible weeks...

Slack

By Seamus Anthony

Slack is back,
Slack is back,
It's the only way to be.
Work is wack.
Hacky sack?
Hey man, that sounds good to me.

Oh I know I should get on with it,
But I don't really care.
I still feel as good as I always did,
I just don't have as much hair ... these days ...

Slack is back,
Slack is back,
Did it ever go away?
Eat a snack,
On my back,
As I watch the branches sway.
Hey no-one said jack,
If I did that,
Way back when I was ten.
Why is slack alright for boys,
But inappropriate for men ... these days?

Slack is back,
It's the new black.
What's a boy supposed to do?
Hey can I get back on track,
When there's so much on YouTube?
When there's so much time,
To make myself the perfect cup of tea?
When it still feels fine,
To sling an old guitar across my knee ... these days...
