VOICES IN MY HEAD

From his book ' Thanks for Coming'

On a bus bound for Toowoomba I was tryin’ to have a sleep
I was nicely into dreamland after countin’ forty sheep
But my dreams soon turned to nightmares,
It was more than I could bear
I could hear this evil chanting goin’ “Yesss, yeahss, yeah!”

I eventually woke up but still the voice was there
It was in the seat behind me goin’ “Yesss, yeahss, yeah!”
I couldn’t bloody help it, I had to turn around
And identify the creature that made this wretched sound.

I quickly snuck a peek, ’cause it isn’t nice to stare
And there it was! There sat the demon goin’ “Yesss, yeahss, yeah!”
The anti-Christ had taken on an elderly lady’s form
And with this “Yesss, yeahss, yeah!” she was talkin’ up a storm.

A woman sat beside her but she didn’t seem to care,
Her senses were immune to this “Yesss, yeahss, yeah!”
No matter what she said the reply remained the same
And this “Yesss, yeahss, yeah!”, it was chewin’ out me brain.

But my prayers were finally answered, for as the bus pulled into Miles
The voice of my tormentor went driftin’ down the aisle.
“Yesss, yeahss, yeah!” would torture me no more,
I screamed “Good bloody riddance!” as the driver slammed the door.

I changed buses at Toowoomba, no more voices to annoy me,
I had beaten satan’s plot to sit behind me and destroy me,
I snuggled in me seat, prepared to slumber through the night
Then I heard this bloke beside me goin’ “Riiiight, riiight, right!”
