24 Hour Party people was a movie about

The Manchester music scene

It is also the name of my black dog

 

I was one of these 24HPP and regret it now

As I have lost my ability to play topless poker

Which was a card game in which I remained undefeated

 

My dog obviously has no interest in this pastime

And is more concerned with eating shitting and fucking

I do think that he has his life and zen just about right

 

I scrape a living now doing this that and nothing

And wake up disgusted with myself each day

Although I have written a book about Egyptian Glass

 

Who was my other black dog

And was hit by a Manchester tram

On its first day of operation in 1992
