We needed to rent a place to live in. The lady from the estate agency called me up saying she had found the ideal home for us. So we went there, to see the house. Nice, yeah, it was nice. Big house, the rent wasn't even unreachable. The landlords were a couple, young people. There was a lot of books; good people, I though. Furnished house, I like it, I said. Then the lady from the estate agency told us the young couple was going to do a trip around the world. At that one moment, that house became our home and we became happy to spend our miserable salary to somehow sponsor our landlords' trip around the world.

Do you know Fred? I know I should have learned to speak properly in order to form a rock group in England, sorry for that, after all you have dumped the runes for people like the Normans and me.

The FT hypothesis describes us all attempting to simplify lives by language. And a 6ft Fortean Times reader could be a nurse too. Our lives, mate Crossed by case But I keep going, code-switching lacking grammar and vocabulary just trying not to become a pigeon Yeah, amalgamation, amalgamation It's a pidgin living, this outsider jargon Barins let off, All Calque lyrics, creole rock, such a pidgin life It's a pidgin living, slightly a living language A bar in my head

Working in a hospital as a housekeeper can be crap, but working in a hospital as a housekeeper in a country in which you can't speak its language is cruel! One day I was about to simply go home one hour before the end of my shift, by mistake. And I couldn't even explain to the furious supervisors who were facing me that I hadn't done it out of spite... Well, I thought "when it happens, generally people arrive one hour late..." One hour I'll change, yeah, change attitude, change bins too Three phalanges on every finger, counting till 12 with the thumb on one hand All analogies among sets of data I found out what refraction is, at work, lying on a couch in an empty ward, looking to the window trying not to sleep I was supposed to clean that ward but the hangover was killing me Never say "see you tomorrow" to your supervisor just by hearing traces of a conversation between people who don't speak your same language!
