Alan Moore (born 18 November 1953) is an English writer primarily known for his work in comic books including Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and From Hell. Frequently described as the best graphic novel writer in history, he has been called "one of the most important British writers of the last fifty years". He has occasionally used such pseudonyms as Curt Vile, Jill de Ray, Translucia Baboon and The Original Writer.
Moore started writing for British underground and alternative fanzines in the late 1970s before achieving success publishing comic strips in such magazines as 2000 AD and Warrior. He was subsequently picked up by the American DC Comics, and as "the first comics writer living in Britain to do prominent work in America", he worked on major characters such as Batman (Batman: The Killing Joke) and Superman (Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?), substantially developed the character Swamp Thing, and penned original titles such as Watchmen. During that decade, Moore helped to bring about greater social respectability for comics in the United States and United Kingdom. He prefers the term "comic" to "graphic novel". In the late 1980s and early 1990s he left the comic industry mainstream and went independent for a while, working on experimental work such as the epic From Hell, the pornographic Lost Girls, and the prose novel Voice of the Fire. He subsequently returned to the mainstream later in the 1990s, working for Image Comics, before developing America's Best Comics, an imprint through which he published works such as The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the occult-based Promethea.
His first collection of poems, Opia (1986) was a UK Poetry Book Society Choice, a distinction for a first collection. Michael Kenneally complimented Moore's creativity in Poetry in contemporary Irish Literature.
His second collection, How Now! (2010) was described as "a searingly autobiographical book which bears comparison with Paul Durcan's Daddy, Daddy," and "a fine cumulative portrait of growing up in Ireland." Another reviewer commented: "The deadpan, affectless tone of these childhood poems makes them all the more disturbing. Moore has no designs on the reader. The vignettes are presented in an almost forensic fashion, it is up to us to fill in the missing emotion, blanked by alcohol, repression, conformity." Two of Moore's poems were included in the Dublin Poetry and Places Anthology "If Ever You Go"
Educated by the Christian Brothers, he is a graduate of both University College Dublin (BA, English and Philosophy) and Trinity College Dublin (MBA). He worked in the Office of the Revenue Commissioners (on the drafting of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997) and in legal publishing before becoming a tax consultant and publisher. He is widely known for his regular articles in The Sunday Business Post, and is the author of the best-selling Tax Magic.
Moore was already active in the Birminghamrock, blues, folk and country scene, and played with numerous bands, including The Young Casuals, The Other Lot, The Outer Light, Gabriel Oak, Glad Stallion, Tendency Jones and Pendulum. He was first approached by guitarist K. K. Downing and bassist Ian Hill in 1971, and joined in the early and unofficial phase of the newborn Judas Priest for a period of about a year (during this time Al Atkins was still the vocalist). He left in 1972 to join the Birmingham country rock band, Sundance, with whom he recorded the album Rain, Steam, Speed (1974), and their single, "Coming Down".
In 1975, drummer John Hinch left Judas Priest, and Downing and Hill re-approached Moore. For the second time, Moore joined the band, making him the only drummer in the history of Judas Priest to have two separate stints. His first show after re-joining was in 1975.10.11 - Slough College, London, UK, during which guitarist/backing vocalist Glenn Tipton introduced "our new drummer Skip" who "only had a few hours of rehearsal". In 1976, they recorded the album Sad Wings of Destiny. Despite the success of the album, Moore decided to leave again, only this time permanently.
An Ivy League, also known as a Harvard Clip or Princeton, is a type of crew cut in which the hair on the top of the head is long enough to style with a side part.
When worn with a side part and with the top hair brushed to the side, an Ivy League can be styled with or without the short bangs being brushed up to form a short pompadour front. Other options include styling it as a standard crew cut or as a forward brush with the short bangs and the rest of the top hair brushed forward.
Styling
An Ivy League and a forward brush are similar length haircuts with the difference being that a forward brush is specifically designed to be worn with the short bangs and top hair brushed forward. A haircut such as an Ivy League, that is designed to be brushed to more than one style may be referred to as a convertible hair cut. The length of the top hair and the degree of graduation shorter, from the front hairline back, varies with the shape of the skull, density and coarseness of the hair, and the styling preferences of the individual: side parted crew cut, standard crew cut, brushed forward.
Ivy League is a style of men's dress, popular during the late 1950s in the Northeastern United States, and said to have originated on college campuses, particularly those of the Ivy League. The clothing stores J. Press and Brooks Brothers represented perhaps the quintessential Ivy League dress manner, the former with two of its four locations found at Harvard and Yale Universities (the Princeton branch closed in 1942). The Ivy League style was the predecessor to the preppy style of dress. The Ivy League Style is epitomized by the sack suit which is defined as being a 3-to-2 (3 buttons with the top button "rolled" back to reveal only two usable buttons) blazer without darts and a single "hooked" vent. The pants are typically cuffed and without pleats. It was also characterized by the use of natural fabrics, shirts with button-down collars, and penny loafers. In suits, the Ivy League style was promoted by clothier Brooks Brothers and included natural shoulder single-breasted suit jackets. In 1957 and 1958, about 70% of all suits sold were in the "Ivy League" style.

Lyrics:
On the low
Only love myself no more
Take you to the grave I'll ghost
I know I can be so cold
In the dark
Where I like to keep my heart
Know I’m all bite no bark
Like to catch you way off guard
I’ll stay so deep inside your brain
And take you somewhere far away
Time to roll the dice
You know I’m the type
Type to risk my life
Not afraid to die
Type to make you cry
Type to put a price
All up on your head
Do just what I said
Imma straight up villain
Straight up villain
Yeah no feeling
Yeah no feeling
Straight up villain
Straight up villain
Yeah no feeling
Yeah no feeling
I’m alive
But I’m dead
Hear my voice up in your head
Watch it fill you full of dread
Till you go pow
Now is it really a surprise
If I’m playing with your mind
And I treat you like prize
Then I throw you to the side
And am I really that bad
If l love to make you mad
And get happy when you’re sad
Only care about a bag
In control
That's how I like it
And I'm never letting go, nah
Never had a soul
So you ain't taking anything from me
When you go, nah
I’m alive
But I’m dead
Hear my voice up in your head
Watch it fill you full of dread
Till you go pow
Bang bang
You can do anything
No fear no pain
Listen to your brain go
Go stupid go dumb go stupid and
Then we go insane woah
Just do what I say
Follow me I'll lead the way
I’m alive
But I’m dead
Hear my voice up in your head
Watch it fill you full of dread
Till you go pow

She sorts out her hair at the washroom of Preston services Dries her hands under a notice that says "have you seen this child?" And she nurses her tea for one hour in the cafeteria Watching the truck drivers blind their fried eggs with the cutlery And english murder it's all over her face Just waiting until the right time the wrong lay-by There'll be a photograph With a bad 1970's fringe and a look of uncertainty Years later you'll know the name but not where you know it from And they've emptied the terraced row with compulsory purchases Reasoning that they'd make more from the ground with the people gone And so he shuffles the half a mile to the nearest post office When lads push into the queue he pretends he's not noticed them And english murder it's all over his face A low enough cold snap a high enough gas bill You'll skim the epitaphs And you'll possibly notice his name like somebody's you knew from school There'll be an off the peg verse where sad has been rhymed with dad And the houses in which they've invested their city bonuses Have increased the property prices and therefore the homelessness The scabby grey anti climb paint and withdrawn amenities In case socialising promotes anti social behaviour And english murder it's all over the place The bunches of flowers in pedestrian precincts Your average sociopath at least kills With a hammer or brick not with greed and incompetence And after two or three years they'll express remorse
