I was walking up a hill in my local park listening to Groupie<\/i> on my headphones.<\/p>\n
I often did this in my dreams<\/p>\n
I enjoyed listening to European popular music on my head phones<\/p>\n
I liked a lot of what Bob Sinclair had recorded but not all<\/p>\n
I respected a great number of recording artists but found that there were songs that I did not care for<\/p>\n
Only Indila had recorded songs that I found that I liked in their entirety<\/p>\n
But I was not listening to the French singer that day<\/p>\n
I was listening to Groupie<\/i> by Bob Sinclair<\/p>\n
As I reached the brow of the hill neat the war memorial I noticed a number of men fighting near a fence<\/p>\n
Although unusual it was not unknown for people to fight in the park<\/p>\n
I took no notice<\/p>\n
And then I heard a shot<\/p>\n
One of the men fell onto the grass<\/p>\n
From where I was standing he seemed to be dead<\/p>\n
A man walking his dog passed me<\/p>\n
They are fighting again <\/i><\/p>\n
The gangsters are fighting <\/i><\/p>\n
Another shot rang out and a second man fell<\/p>\n
There was only one fight taking place and the remaining gangsters watched for a while until one of them raised a pistol and shot the man who was wearing a leather jacket in the head<\/p>\n
The three men were staring at me<\/p>\n
I was a witness<\/p>\n
They raised their guns<\/p>\n
I began to run<\/p>\n
I expected to be shot in the back<\/p>\n
But I reached the treelike fence without incident<\/p>\n
The gangsters followed me and soon were standing above me<\/p>\n
I was crouching trying to gain what cover the fence would afford me<\/p>\n
It was then I noticed that one of the gangsters was wearing a summer dress<\/p>\n
I tried not to laugh at such a toughie in a summer frock<\/p>\n
What do you find funny?<\/i><\/p>\n
Nothing<\/i><\/p>\n
Do you realise that you have just witnessed three deaths <\/i><\/p>\n
How dreadful <\/i><\/p>\n
Why did you kill them?<\/i><\/p>\n
They infringed on our business interests <\/i><\/p>\n
I was still smiling<\/p>\n
What do you find funny?<\/i><\/p>\n
That a toughie like you is wearing a summers dress <\/i><\/p>\n
I am a transsexual <\/i><\/p>\n
I gathered that <\/i><\/p>\n
Even when I was in gangster school I felt I was more of a girl than a boy <\/i><\/p>\n
I often wore bras when participating in assassinations <\/i><\/p>\n
Were you mocked?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes frequently <\/i><\/p>\n
I lost count the number of times I was buggered in the showers <\/i><\/p>\n
One of the other gangsters grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet<\/p>\n
Are you afraid? <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes it is not often that you see people assassinated in the park <\/i><\/p>\n
What do you think of transsexuals?<\/i><\/p>\n
Do you think Rocco is a pervert?<\/i><\/p>\n
A pervert no but I believe that he suffers from a character defect <\/i><\/p>\n
They have removed his dick bit not his Adams Apple <\/i><\/p>\n
He still has a masculine voice <\/i><\/p>\n
I noticed that <\/i><\/p>\n
Why did you not go the full hog Rocco? <\/i><\/p>\n
Is it that you want things both ways?<\/i><\/p>\n
You want breasts and a cunt but you still want to retain the masculine advantages of life
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
Do you not get abuse when you go about your daily gangster duties?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes<\/i><\/p>\n
What do you do?<\/i><\/p>\n
I either kill or maim them<\/i><\/p>\n
Are you guys going to kill or maim me?<\/i><\/p>\n
We know where you live <\/i><\/p>\n
In that beautiful Victorian cottage with the wisteria hanging from the porch <\/i><\/p>\n
It is rather beautiful is it not?<\/i><\/p>\n
I love the perfume when it is at the height of its display <\/i><\/p>\n
Are you going to kill me?<\/i><\/p>\n
We should do <\/i><\/p>\n
I agree<\/i><\/p>\n
After all you have witnessed the assassination of three members of a rival firm and you have called Rocco here a poof <\/i><\/p>\n
I did not call him a poof <\/i><\/p>\n
I noted that his condition is viewed in some circles as a character defect <\/i><\/p>\n
You have to admit that seeing a six foot two man walking around a shopping mall dressed as a woman is a rather odd sight <\/i><\/p>\n
Some people find it offensive <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you? <\/i><\/p>\n
No I take a more academic viewpoint <\/i><\/p>\n
That being<\/i><\/p>\n
That transsexuals suffer from a kind of character defect<\/i><\/p>\n
You cannot say it is normal for a man to dress as a woman except in jest <\/i><\/p>\n
All three gangsters raised their guns and pointed them towards my face<\/p>\n
You are quite a nice looking chap <\/i><\/p>\n
Thank you <\/i><\/p>\n
If we each fire our guns into your face your good looks will disappear in a split second <\/i><\/p>\n
I know that is rather boring for me <\/i><\/p>\n
I rather like being good looking <\/i><\/p>\n
We are hardened killers<\/i><\/p>\n
I know<\/i><\/p>\n
Before you pull the trigger I would like to ask one question <\/i><\/p>\n
That being <\/i><\/p>\n
Who was the man with the dog and why did you show no interest in him? <\/i><\/p>\n
There was no man with a dog <\/i><\/p>\n
There was he was dressed in a tweed jacket and had a Red Setter <\/i><\/p>\n
You must be dreaming pretty boy there was no man with a dog <\/i><\/p>\n
I must be <\/i><\/p>\n
I wish I was dreaming <\/i><\/p>\n
Why <\/i><\/p>\n
One cannot die in their dreams <\/i><\/p>\n
You just wake up and touch your dream catcher and all is well again <\/i><\/p>\n
Your nasty nightmares are at an end <\/i><\/p>\n
One of the gangsters pulled my headphones roughly from my head and placed one of the cans against his bloodied ear<\/p>\n
What is this shit?<\/i><\/p>\n
Groupie by Bob Sinclair <\/i><\/p>\n
Is he a Yank?<\/i><\/p>\n
No French <\/i><\/p>\n
With a name like Bob Sinclair <\/i><\/p>\n
That is not his real name <\/i><\/p>\n
What is his real name?<\/i><\/p>\n
I cannot remember <\/i><\/p>\n
Why do you like this shit<\/i><\/p>\n
I just like the beat <\/i><\/p>\n
The lyrics are a little banal but the energy of the music makes up for it <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you like Elvis?<\/i><\/p>\n
I admire Elvis <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you like Hendrix?<\/i><\/p>\n
I admire Hendrix <\/i><\/p>\n
Who do you like apart from Bob Sinclair? <\/i><\/p>\n
I would not say that I was keen on everything he records
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
But I like <\/i><\/p>\n
Indila <\/i><\/p>\n
Lolita Jolie <\/i><\/p>\n
H Magnum <\/i><\/p>\n
Keny Arkana <\/i><\/p>\n
They are all foreign <\/i><\/p>\n
I know <\/i><\/p>\n
Where do they come from? <\/i><\/p>\n
Mostly France although Lolita is German I believe <\/i><\/p>\n
Fancy calling your child Lolita <\/i><\/p>\n
That is not her real name <\/i><\/p>\n
I think her real name is Claudia<\/i><\/p>\n
Have you any last words?<\/i><\/p>\n
Not really but I wish this was a dream as you do not die in dreams <\/i><\/p>\n
This is not a dream I assure you <\/i><\/p>\n
Shit happens <\/i><\/p>\n
One of the gangsters opened my mouth and put the barrel of his gun onto my tongue<\/p>\n
Both the gangster in the summer dress and the one in the dark suit pointed their guns straight at my eyes \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
It will not take long and you will not feel any pain pretty boy<\/i><\/p>\n
I will plant a small bag of coke on you soiled by blood <\/i><\/p>\n
It will look like a drugs deal that went wrong<\/i><\/p>\n
I awaited oblivion and was keen to see if I had been dreaming all along<\/p>\n
Then I heard another voice<\/p>\n
I saw the man in the tweed jacket with his beautiful Red Setter<\/p>\n
Chief <\/i><\/p>\n
What are you doing to this poor fella?<\/i><\/p>\n
Executing him <\/i><\/p>\n
Why? <\/i><\/p>\n
He has seen everything and he has suggested that Rocco here has a character defect <\/i><\/p>\n
The Chief Gangster looked at me<\/p>\n
Is this true?<\/i><\/p>\n
I tried to speak but the barrel of the gun was inhibiting me<\/p>\n
Take the gun out of his mouth Gladys let the poor man speak <\/i><\/p>\n
Is what the boys have said true? <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
That is rather grave you know <\/i><\/p>\n
I suppose it is <\/i><\/p>\n
I could not help but to stumble on the assassinations but I should have kept my mouth shut about my views on transsexuals <\/i><\/p>\n
I suppose it is not very correct to think that way these days<\/i><\/p>\n
Fuck Political Correctness <\/i><\/p>\n
It is a form of Maoism of Stalinism<\/i><\/p>\n
I cannot stand it <\/i><\/p>\n
The Chief Gangster took the headphones from Rocco who as far as I could see was quite enjoying Groupie<\/i> by Bob Sinclair<\/p>\n
Is this what you listen to?<\/i><\/p>\n
Sometimes<\/i><\/p>\n
Catchy but banal don\u2019t you agree? <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
The Chief Gangster smiled<\/p>\n
Let is never be said I am a cruel man <\/i><\/p>\n
I kill yes but these people that deserve to die <\/i><\/p>\n
There is a simple logic to that <\/i><\/p>\n
But I am not a cruel man <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you think you deserve to die?<\/i><\/p>\n
Well if I am dreaming yes <\/i><\/p>\n
It does not matter <\/i><\/p>\n
You cannot die in your dreams <\/i><\/p>\n
But if this is real then no <\/i><\/p>\n
The Chief Gangster handed my headphones to me<\/p>\n
This shit you listen to <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you know much about Bob Sinclair? <\/i><\/p>\n
A little <\/i><\/p>\n
Well I hope you know more than I little as your life will depend on it <\/i><\/p>\n
If you answer my question correctly then we will release you and you will be able to return to your beautiful Victorian home with the wisteria dangling from the porch <\/i><\/p>\n
If you get it wrong then the boys here will blow your head off <\/i><\/p>\n
Your pretty face will be no more <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you think that I am being fair? <\/i><\/p>\n
Very much <\/i><\/p>\n
Here is the question <\/i><\/p>\n
You have five seconds to give me the answer <\/i><\/p>\n
Ready <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
Are you familiar with Far l\u2019 amore with Bob Sinclair and Raffaella Carra?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
Well Raffaella featured in the accompanying video but she was not the woman in the taxi who ends up arguing with the driver<\/i><\/p>\n
Who was actress who played that part? <\/i><\/p>\n
The gangsters each raised their guns and pointed them at my head<\/p>\n
1<\/p>\n
2<\/p>\n
3<\/p>\n
4<\/p>\n
Caterina Murino <\/i><\/p>\n
Caterina Murino played the part <\/i><\/p>\n
Correct well done \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
Each of the gangsters stood back and retired their guns<\/p>\n
Close your eyes and we will be gone <\/i><\/p>\n
You will never see us again <\/i><\/p>\n
And here is a tip for you pretty boy <\/i><\/p>\n
If you are going to listen to music late at night then please stick to classical music as it is mostly harmless <\/i><\/p>\n
I awoke<\/p>\n
My wife was looking at me<\/p>\n
My wife is beautiful<\/p>\n
My wife has beautiful breasts<\/p>\n
Are you looking at my breasts?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
Then you can make the tea and be careful not to spill it <\/i><\/p>\n
I had this odd dream <\/i><\/p>\n
Tea <\/i><\/p>\n
Now <\/i><\/p>\n
Dreams later pretty boy <\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
