Vodka Tax  
There's always an extra cost on the Cubao jeep  
Give the guy in the jeep your 15 pesos fare  
Expect a peso back and he keeps it It typical o. The Montalban run the extra peso fleet ha!  
Shall I out.my book prices up?  
Charge an extra 7% like they do  
Use them as an example  
Extra costs on top of this and that  
You know how it is with service charges  
Surcharges tax insurance parking fees etc  
Call it what you want do I become the same?  
Add an extra 7% on top to pay.for my vodka?  
Make it an extra 25%!

Fishes  
Stay go decide what to do  
Leave the company for a new job  
Leave your wife for a new wife  
Leave the country for a new country  
Leave your body for a new body  
All this and more decide what to do  
Is this really needed or salad dressing?  
I want a million book sales  
To be aged 34 forever more  
For her to be back in my life  
None of it will happen just now  
I'll wait cast my net see what I get  
It's always a good ride fresh fish

Bpo Grind  
Feel the lead grind of call centre work  
Six thousand hour deficit for November  
How the fuck did this happen?  
Bosses out twelve on Australian account training  
Several others were fired or quit  
I'll resign in January new year new job new start  
After getting my thirteen month pay  
And a new passport to fly to Shangri La  
Away from this call centre hellfire grind  
Look at the young guy in the bikers jacket  
His  jelled hair in a quiff old skool rock n roll  
He can make something of his life  
Not bpo call centre grind like us  
Grinding you down till nothing  
I think what I'll spend the cash on?


.........

Berli  
When you get to my age  
Any female lover will do  
When you're young none will do  
What brings on these views?  
What of the half way point?  
Which half is fine  
Which half is not  
There's a ledger  
It tellies them all  
Are you in there?  
One I accepted  
One I refused  
My Manila times  
I'm miss Berlin
