A thousand miles from chips and beans, with the fat pub bigots and brutalised birds. The sun's shimmering on the open road. No future, no past, just the thick summer air hanging suspended around me. So I close my eyes to the heat and the light, breathe in the sun and take a step forward... [n.c.] Hey petit con! Etudiant de merde! Casse toi de cette putain de route!
