Common People

It’s sunny in Monza

and also here too

but we have a band

playing covers for fun in a field

while my friends

watch the originals much later on

We’re all watching roaches

climbing the walls

Who’s dad should I call

to stop it all?

 

Common People

Thoughts

I was sat in the garden listening to a local covers band play Common People by Pulp. They are on the field in our village. The covers band, not Pulp. Pulp are in another field at the End of the Road festival, being watched by my friends. I write this while watching the F1 qualifying from Monza. They say write what you know.
