So, just like that panic 
and searching questions set in, supermarkets and the streets
of Belfast in the North.

For there, let them eat 
cake but not bread,
for a strike of bakers.
And you may have salads
but only three both sides,
o'er the Irish Sea border.

Over another line,
the thirty-eighth we may see Hyesan.
Parallels, so ours a consumer demand economy, 
there's a command
and it's party time,
all the time, comrade.

1990 saw folk poisoning themselves
with water and tree bark.
So hungry they were
over a race for nukes,
testing times, our salads, quibbles,troubles, 
the people's bellies.
