Artex Monkey Royston Diarea

Artex Is Back!!

"A tha alive?" in't quite t'reight question is it? As of kewese thi ar alive, but in t'same way that bacteria is alive. And will allus bi alive, in t'same way as a wafting smoke cloud of burning wheelie-bin plastic on a Sundy morning has a life fewerce. Nowt comes from nowt. Energy can't bi created or destroyed. Thev just oppened a new Netto in Royston, where t'Kwiky used to bi. Kwik Save bearns used to bi mi favourite bearns, in t'good old days when they were 7p a tin. Ee worra feast that wer a tell thi. On t'day Nettop oppened up, Royston were gridlocked wi cars. Ugly cars. Cars wi scars. An sum posh motors from the mooer affluent cul-de-sacs of the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley, or mebbi they kem up from darn Notton, mixing it wi t'raggy lads. They were like flies rarnd shit. All hoping ter bag a bargain. Ar let t'dust settle darn befoor I ad a walk on wi mi fatha. Tha dun't see anyone walking any mooer duz tha? Nobdy guz anywhere wi art avving a set of wheels under em. An a disabled sticker in t'front winder. A got missen sum chearp bearns an sum guitar strings for mi acoustic, a paid for em an all. Am gunna write sum new songs. Av dun one already called Brianglover. Any ruad I had mi Netto bearns for tea when a got ooam. They tasted reight rank. Mebbi there's a moral to this sumwheer. Probably dun'y buy chearp bearns from t'Netto agearn. Once bitten twice shy. Nar then wheear worra? The question is ar do tha believe in the world? If tha defines thissen in terms of the law then tha'll allus become a policeman's little toy. A reason for em ter drive rarnd in their flash cars playin wi their handcuffs and polishin their little truncheons. Defining thissen in relation to the law is a waste er energy. Wi need to transfer it dun't wi? Mek it irrelevant. Ar can wi free the working class? Well this is my mission. And it in't by building new ruads. Ruads takkin people in cars thev bowert on t'tick or TWOCed, following their sat navs from the comfort of their living rooms to buy even more shite from ugly-looking supermarkets. And them theear bearns din't arf gi mi wind all.
