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?

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.
