Imagine the world if cameras were guns...

Sometimes i daydream...
When im low on steam
That my lens is a Barrel
Shooting the guests on jeremy kyle

Sometimes between jobs...
When ive got away from the mobs, gobs and complete knobs
My nikon miraculously turns into a gun
and I'm pointing it at people just for the fun

Occassionally after reading a brief...
My cameras a pistol, to my relief
"wear a suit, youre photographin the queen"
id wear my jeans but i wanna keep um clean

From time to time, i look at the world when im feeling detached...
and everyones got a phone, with a shotgun attached
Those sacred moments theyre trying to capture
become murder scenes, blamed on the rapture

To help me unwind at the end of the day,
i think of the wars, the famine, the murder, the prey
i ponder the pictures we`d have throughout history
whether the violence would be replaced with images of misery

Then i consider a planet, which isnt the smartest...
The rifles a kodac and the soldiers an artist

Nations protected by expressions and visions
Extremists not murdering but trying to inspire
Strapping polaroids to their chests for all to admire.

Say cheese!!!!
 As i give the trigger a squeeze

Is the invasion wanted?

There must be a gaping hole the size of Simon Cowell’s ego in the American Music Industry if teeny Boy Bands are making a successful come back. I believe that shit happens in cycles, and now we are back to the Boy/Girl band era again, FUCK


Can’t be arsed with all its clean cut, nice ‘perfect’ image that’s carried out more precise than the assassination of JFK. I’ve had to photograph a couple of the ones doing well at the moment when they first started off, it’s a well ordered manner of doing things, arrive, meet people, shake hands, be polite, talk, laugh, sell sell sell, sign autographs, sing, dance, have a photo taken, then fuck off.


 I suppose them doing well in’t States probably has something to do with this and the fact that one of the groups management is the same as Bieber.


I don’t mind them doing well I just don’t want the market to be flooded by a shed load of boy/girl bands again, I didn’t like it last time round and I was only about 10 years old.
