Language of Prairie Dogs - For A Turnstile - Ed Zed's Death Rattle Dub remix Lyrics

I hear a sound from round the corner
People have flocked across the foyer

A drunk man starting up an altercation
With a library user
Ripped from the user by security
Flung out in threats, taunts and gestures

The angered victim left recovering with concerned onlookers

One of whom posits an answer
Turnstiles! To protect the space from abusers

I catch it twice but sort of tentative
Then repeated a lot surer
We need some sort of turnstile system
Entrance retracted from non-members! Turnstiles

Drunks rain down, collapsing on us
Daring absurdities out of us
Since when was someone's member status
A sign of benign inner purpose

They're vetted only for names and address
Tabs kept only on the books they've debted
And we're not a Tube station
Or a public lavatory
