gotta get a real habit
gotta get me something dark
gotta find a way back
gotta catch that spark
have i got this habit
or has it got me
shaking like a leaf
wanting, scared; someone to see
gonna get me a real habit
and that is just the start
there’s an angel on my shoulder
but the devils in my heart
have i got this habit
so much naughty so much nice
looking good and feeling bad
ticking off another vice
a lot of people gotta lot of habits
and i know i’m not the only one
sometimes a bloke just feels the need
to dress up like a nun

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.

Hahahahhahaha I burst out laughing at the ending! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I got a kick out of this one! That's one habit I don't have and if I did, I wouldn't have the habit for it.
This is quite funny Brenton. A good chuckler. 🤙🏻
Hilarious. And also, until then, sad. I like when there's both.
Hey, there are worse habits, trust me! I loved the “angel on my shoulder, devil in my heart” part. Brilliant!
Oh, that ending🤣. When chaotic impulses win.
I've got an angel on my shoulder But the devil in my heart. Damn, this one’s powerful! Thank you for a wonderful, introspective read.
