One afternoon I was deliberately bumped into by some prick at a bus stop. I didn't say anything, let alone do anything, but I wish I had done. I fumed for days! Then, I took to the guitar. I am now at peace with it. However, if I had my time again, this is how it would play out.

lyrics

Of Course It Was Later…

Hey you! Hey you!! You just bumped into me!
Hey you! Hey you!! That was an act of hostility
So saying, I grabbed his neck and twisted it with glee
Of course it was later when I thought what should’ve been done

Hey you! Hey you!! Who the hell do you think you are?
Hey you! Hey you!! How have you survived this far?
So saying I jammed his teeth into the grill of a passing car
Of course it was later when I thought what should’ve been done

These sort of people give me the rage
But it’s kept in nice and tight in my stifling British cage
One more nudge, I’ll pick the lock, take up arms, engage
And show them what will happen if they go just an inch too far

Hey you! Hey you!! From where does this recalcitrance stem
Hey you! Hey you!! Brought up like a dose of bronchial phlegm
So saying, I cut him deep with a Wildeism, a gem
Of course it was later when I thought what should’ve been done
