For \u00a35.45 An Hour <\/span>

Just a fucking cockroach of a woman<\/span>
waving a pack of mince at me <\/span>
wailing \u2018Get us another one,<\/span>
this one\u2019s outer date!\u2019 <\/span>
so I go the other end of the shop,<\/span>
get one and take it to her,<\/span>
she screeches \u2018Argh, this one\u2019s only<\/span>
til the tenf a Feb-roo-airy,<\/span>
aven\u2019t yer got anythin a bit later??\u2019<\/span>
so off I go again,<\/span>
get another one,<\/span>
come back again, <\/span>
she looks and says \u2018This one\u2019ll do,\u2019<\/span>
and marches out with her <\/span>
prickly-faced cockroach husband,<\/span>
the bottom of their trackie pants <\/span>
dragging, brown and shaggy,<\/span>
leaving a piss smell <\/span>
still in my nose<\/span>

then the security bloke comes<\/span>
charging at me,<\/span>
\u2018They didn\u2019t pay fer tha mince!\u2019<\/span>
he rattles my blue blue collar<\/span>
\u2018THEY DIDN\u2019T PAY!\u2019<\/span>
and legs it out after them,<\/span>
cutting the wall of piss smell <\/span>
in two,<\/span>
like the jaws <\/span>
of a crummy painting of hell<\/span>
they creak <\/span>
as they close on me. <\/span>
