bad uncle jamie lives on a faraway beach ( jude reports)
eats bugs for tea
lives with ying, who likes to sing
bad uncle jamie gets to kiss mtv pop stars (jude proclaims)
stays up all night
smokes cigarettes that smell like airwick
bad uncle jamie blew up his school (jude whispers in awe)
spoke to god on a bognor beach
might even be some sort of knight in search of the truth
bad uncle jamie appears once or twice a year
in terrible shirts and too cool boots
riding a motorcycle held together with sellotape
bad uncle jamie will one day know
that he is unconditionally loved
for being bad
for being uncle
for being jamie.
