Take me to the zone

TAKE ME TO THE ZONE shut the FUCK UP oh

god sorry, straight away you’re gonna want context. So look, I generally sleep until 8am every morning. I don’t have to go to an office and I can lie there having tea that’s usually brought to me. I need to be online by about 9.10am which means at 9am I am warm and livid that I have to have a shower even though I don’t have to leave the flat all day so what’s the fucking point?

Then you, yeah I know, you turned up and want me to go out in the car but there’s no petrol and I’m desperate for a piss, so I go to the toilet but it just won’t come out and you’re on about this car. We get into town and you go off with John and I’m going down this alleyway and there’s a girl, she’s off Silent Witness, pigtails, about 11 probably, looks a bit like Michael Barrymore. She’s got this knife and she’s trying to stab me and I do this roundhouse.

And then I woke up. Mad, no idea what that was about.
