All

I’m looking at the tiny but thinking of the mighty
Is there any difference there at all?
I think I always knew that the universe was huge
But I didn’t dwell on it much
All this life we know, maybe any life at all
Is all packed onto this tiny little ball
From a distant view ’tis all so beautifully smooth
What on Earth goes on down there at all….

Everyone's Special
03:33
|
|||
Everyone’s special especially you
Nobody does things as you do
Nobody feels the way that you feel
The thoughts that you think — no-one can steal
No-one can touch what you are deep down inside
It’s up to you to keep it right
‘Cos everyone’s special especially you
Nobody knows but they might help you to
Life is a wonder though living is hard
It’s worth a good look for better or bad
Look for perfection too close and you’ll find it’s at fault
Not just you — that’s the way of it all
It should be easier to forgive when you know you’re flawed
Everyone’s special especially you
Nobody knows the things you do
Nobody has what’s unique to you
But they all have special weaknesses too
Everyone’s special especially you and you
And you and you and you and you and
He and she and jeez
Now I’m confused
But it’s ok to be
In a curious way

Pixel
03:42
|
|||
The sun is sitting up there and just staring down on me
A giant burning ball that gives life’s engine its gasoline
On our little sphere down here that hangs in endless space
The most precious gemstone for us in the greater scheme
Living in a giant picture, seeing just a small bit
I’m a tiny pixel being on a photo wall
That’s longer than all cyberland and limitlessly tall
Curved and bent and twisted with no ends at all it seems
Life is but a flash
A snapshot’s all we see
And photons like you and me
Light the colours in the scene
Living in a giant jigsaw on a tiny single piece
The difference imperceptible if my own history ceased
But I like a puzzle and while I’m here I want a look
Glad to have my cameo in life’s giant story book

Aspirations
03:25
|
|||
From here on in
I’ll try to take in
As much of being here
As I can
While I am
In this world with
Senses sound
If fortune should allow me
To be surrounded
With what counts.
Junk is out
Trash is out
There’s too much good here
To care for all that
Shallow pap;
I’ll turn my back to it and
Face what’s made to last;
And presents from the past
That we still feed off-
Thank you folks for that.
While it’s my turn
To walk this earth
To live and love
And learn and laugh
And cry and try
To leave a brighter light behind me.
The stream is short;
For value dive deep
To find the riches
Down there for keeps.
Why wait for a scrape?
A near-death escape?
To wake to life that
Begins here today.
Day in day out
I’ll look and listen out
For as much of what it means
To be here as I can
While I am

Ring a Bell
03:27
|
|||
We have freedom of speech, freedom to learn
Freedom to choose if you can earn
Freedom to eat, freedom to move
But what do we do? but sit in a groove
And gorge on goo till it’s no longer sweet
We lost the meaning now nothing’s a treat
Fill the land with wasted meat
Which for all we know was taken from afar
From under the noses of those who starve
Ring a bell?
Freedom to read any book
Freedom to see if you care to look
Freedom to know but find it too hard
So we grab at conclusions and take out the tar
And pick up the stones and start to throw
At others' sins, ignoring our own
The glasshouse is thriving but getting too small
For our voracious habits they're fighting wars to the death
All out of our sight but it may come back
To haunt us yet
We can vote with our feet, vote at the stores
They’re dying in the east to vote at the polls
Vote with your pocket, it’s your remote
But despite all our views we vote like fools
For the greedy buffoons, the gluttonous goons
‘Cos they’ll have you believe you can get some too
And all of your cares will be bought away
So you cheer them on — “good on ya boyo” you say
Till you find they’ve been screwing though you kinda knew
But it seemed okay when they weren’t doing it to you
But now you’re awake and it’s all too late
But maybe we’ll know better next time
Maybe
Someday
Ring a bell?

Children's Working Song
02:31
|
|||
I’m working for the big men for a dollar a day
I’m working for the big men for a dollar a day
They’re strong and smart and from the west they say
But little shits when it comes to pay
The big men and their a dollar a day
I’m working for the children ten thousand miles away
I’m working for the children ten thousand miles away
Grinding out my childhood days
So they can have theirs full of play
The little children ten thousand miles away
I’m working for you Murphy so you can live ease
I’m working for you Murphy so you can live ease
I’m being fleeced so you get it cheap
Don’t have to dig into those pocket deep
Do you Murphy? And so you should be pleased

Fine Lines
05:03
|
|||
One man’s mighty mountain’s another hill of beans
One man’s vital fountain’s another’s filthy stream
One’s spilling milk is another’s stormy tea
If that is not your cuppa why not try this glass of whiskey
One man’s trove of treasure’s another’s heap of scrap
One’s machine of leisure’s another’s world wide trap
For some a great catastrophe’s become a golden chance
One destroys and dumps what is desperately in want
It’s a fine line between love and hate
A fine line between pity and contempt
A fine line between war and peace
Boom and bust and greed and need
Starving savagery and common dignity
With the flick of a finger, the flap of a wing
One flash of genius can change everything
A moment of madness then all is unhinged
A fraction of an inch and you’re in another life
And Easy Street becomes the Alley of No Light
One man’s mighty medicine’s another’s toxic well
One rejoicing family’s another poisoned hell
One man’s got his freedom that another one serves
People seem to get what others deserve
One lady’s gent is another’s crooked cad
“I know he does some genocide but he’s really not that bad”
He feeds and clothes his children, you never see them sad
Lessons in emotion from callous Mum and Dad
It’s a fine line between good and bad luck
A fine line between fortunate and not
A fine line between virtue and vice
Dark and bright and day and night
There’s nothing on a sphere between far left and right
With the flick of a finger, the flap of a wing
One flash of genius could save everything
A moment of madness then all is unhinged
A fraction of an inch and you’re in another life
From Easy Street to a whole other world of strife
One man’s god almighty’s another’s Santa Claus
One man’s flight of fancy’s another’s lifelong cause
One’s superstition’s what another calls faith
The good lack conviction while the worst are full of hate
It’s a fine line from apathetic to depraved
A fine line between the stupid and the brave
A fine line between fantasy and rape
A fine line between comfort and despair
A fine line between well and sick
A fine line between food and shit
Weak and strong and clever and wrong
Short and long life
And none

Moon and Stars
04:13
|
|||
The moon and stars are there a long time and will be a long time yet
You and I get the twinkle of an eye and no-one knows what’s next
This can be heaven or a terrible hell — so far our luck holds
We calm each other in the fiery swell and warm each other against the cold
When darkness comes we’ll make our own fun
And ride on through to the dawn
In the day we smile at what’s done
And dream of what’s to come
The sun has shone for many a day, they say it’s got a few to go
Although it’s only one small star of how many who can know?
It gives us our light and lets us our life along with our precious little globe
And it won’t care what happens down here it just burns away on its own
But you and I depend on each other
We can’t get by on our own
We need each other to catch our rays
Or else we die in the cold
Space and time go on a long way
Don’t know where they end
But you and I are side by side
Believing we’re forever friends
So let the moon and stars go ‘round and around, a circle of dancing souls
Maybe we’re to join them someday and find out where time goes
There’s a universe inside as well as out there, maybe love goes everywhere
A universe in here as well as out there; between the cracks of reality — who can know?

Enough
03:53
|
|||
Enough enough! Enough enough!
I have enough of stuffing up my life with stuff
Stuffing up my gut with stuff I need to cut
Tucking into lushy muck in such a rut
Such a glut but still I thirst
Too full up to even fit it out my
But still I lust for more
I gorge and I gorge
Lest I’d be bored
I pour and abhor
In this final feast they said would never cease
Throw some crumbs to those least then shut the door
Enough enough! Enough enough!
I have enough of stuffing up my life with stuff
The fridge is stuffed, the wardrobe stuffed
Yet I view the neighbours with green disgust
With their monstrous hut — still full up
Stuck in a rut of acquiring stuff
Still we lust for more
To keep up the score
Lest we’d look poor
Hoard from the horde
Telling them “tough” with an ignorant strut
Abusing our luck with snots in the trough
Enough enough! Enough enough!
I have enough of stuffing up my world with stuff
Bins full up, the land full up
With good things we’re turning into toxic stuff
The air is dirt, the sea is worse
We’re sucking all the life out of this earth we gut
Still we lust for more
Don’t mention what’s in store
Lest feelings be sore
Danger’s ignored
And those cursed with no crust who want to be like us
Instead of making they’d be taking but there won’t be
Enough enough! Not good enough
Can we have a laugh without being feckless fucks?
Too much hurt, getting worse
Put the purse before the person much too much
The future’s fucked if we don’t wise up
Nature must get shot of us
And our world will burst
Watch it rust
As we flush ourselves bust
Enough guff
Enough bluff
Enough fluff
Enough
Enough
Enough….

Western Country Song
02:01
|

Climbers falling
Divers drowning
Sprinters stalling
Clowns frowning
Waiters rushing
Their patience failing
Doctors fearing there is no cure
Thorns are tearing
Hearts are breaking
The princess dies before she wakes
Forests falling
Deserts forming
Ice is melting
The sun cries
Medals for fools
Medals for greed
Power for goons
And money for their friends
Blanket breaks
Window tears
The palace blows
After ninety-nine years
Climbers falling
Divers drowning
Books are burning
Rubbish is fed
Jump from Everest
To the ocean floor
To miss the yesman’s
Land of war

Lies
03:02
|
|||
Black lies white lies
You lie so so do I
Good lies, bad guys
How to tell the good guys apart
How to know?
Fat lies thin lies
Two faces in disguise
Sounds good sounds right
If you don’t hear the other side
How low will you go
To get them onside
Before we also become worse
Than what we despise?
Bad lies good lies
Or are lies ever wise?
Bald-faced self-lies
All into the web we fly
A mirror of blind eyes
Deny denial lies
Is it all we can do to strive
Our own hypocrisy to minimise
Smile lies advertise
Fake life, style lies
Who buys hype lies
Brain-killing repeat lies
Take you for a ride
On the backs of others’ lives
Promise you the earth
Then land you too deep in dearth
Old lies, sacred, scared
Hide where the truth lies
Wooly wolves cover eyes
Who decides to let sleeping dog lies
Lie
Right lies left lies
Omissive, half, and counter lies
Enemy and ally lies
Authorised to misguide
Official eyes moralise
Poison propagandas polarise
Euphemise to justify
And terrorise
Innocent lives

Future Lament
06:52
|
|||
The eggs have all been broken but the omelette’s in the bin
The clientele is rumbling but the chefs destroyed the hen
The bricks are all erect where not even ghosts would call home
Cheaply constructed fortunes crumble back to shrugging stone
Forgotten bread uneaten — mouldy mountains from the grain
Poking fortune in the eye is a dangerous rotten game
But don’t you worry baby, don’t you worry about a thing
Just find a voice of comfort to pin your hopes and cling
Don’t mind if it’s not true enough to stand in the fiddler’s wind
Truth lies in the convenience of never having to think
The fish are finished, dumped back dead into the desert deep
Algae blooms now rule the world in a soup no-one can eat
And the deepest darkest woods, its mysteries cleared by man
Now what’s truly scary is the fruitless barren sand
But don’t you worry baby, don’t you worry your little head
There’s a man I’m going to vote for who says the Earth will heal itself
Oh but sorry maybe that is very true
But the involuntary adjustments will mean the end for me and you
And with the black gold extracted, leaving a fracking mess
Ah but now the ice is melted so we can get at all the rest
And when those veins are shot up, collapsed and drained by genius man
He’ll shake his head still stuck there looking underneath the sand
But don’t you worry baby, don’t you mind those science heads
There’s a brainy billionaire-line boss who says their just in it for themselves
Don’t be sorry baby, t’won’t be the end of the world
With one great mighty cull this infection will be purged
With the coal all turfed out black billows crowd the sky
Men will still be digging for reasons to deny
But there’ll be no more negative equity, no more water bills to pay
No more of fucking anything, we’ll have thrown it all away
But don’t you worry baby, never mind those who’d scare
The Earth will persevere and so will we with our laissez-faire
Sorry now they’d tell you life will carry on
Like our many victims our kind will be gone
Don’t you worry baby, don’t even think about that stuff
Just you keep on sleeping, maybe Mam and Daddy will wake up in time
Before it gets above your head, but I wouldn’t hold your breath
Last chance now to cry my baby while there may be some hope left

The Me Party
06:07
|
|||
It’s the stingy whingy mingy whiney wealthy party
They wouldn’t even give you the steam off their tea
But they want you to be free to service their greed
They want you to be free to let them own everything
Free to lick the slime off their boots
As they kick your mind free of truths
If they don’t make the law
They just fix it to suit
To keep exclusive rights to all the loot
It’s the stingy whingy swingeing swindling wealthy party
Crying in their china that you won’t let them be
Free to drown the world in ignorance, condemn you as élite
Not if you’re a billionaire but only if you like to read
Free to diseducate and rule
Bolstered by feudalistic fools
They’d be mediaeval masters
Kings and queens in armoured castles
No more state just private armies for the few
It’s the stingy whingy impingeing infringeing nasty party
Universal human rights is not their cup of tea
They think their god gives them the right to trample on the weak
The right to exercise their sicko sadistic streak
Free to stick their nose into your room
Can’t let you do what feels natural to you
In your private bed
They can’t get those images out of their head
With their perverted moral compass gone askew
It’s the stingy whingy bitchy witchy nasty party
Their cup is overflowing with self-righteous piety
As they kill the born in prison, kill the born in their wars
Get you born to feel their scorn down on the ghetto floor
Where you’re free to buy their bullets and shoot
Free to make your sons into brutes
To join their fight for greedom
But their own sons — no you won’t see them
No they’ll round up gulls and dolts who have no clue
It’s the stingy whingy tiny-minded meany party
Embittering their brimming cup with spoilt-brat self-pity
As they try to realise their dark-age fantasy
They’re mad as hell that you don’t take their hateful nonsense seriously
Mad as health is offered to the poor
Mad and they can’t take it anymore
Their trickle tax-break charity
They say is control enough for poverty
For which God forbid there’d ever be a cure
It’s the stingy whingy tricky sicky nasty party
To find them you go blindly right up the narrow street
While scalding melts the ice and fish and trees and bees
The only storm that they can see is brewing in their tea
They kill debate, creatively denying
With their domineering dinosaur minds
They’re liberal with facts
And other people’s lives
As we charge toward the cliff of human time

Heaven #1
03:58
|
|||
Get me to heaven lord to be with my friends
I’ll sing your praises in exchange for a good end
So we can sit with you all safe and smug
Looking at the damned we can only smirk and shrug
As they writhe in agony forever more
Infernally eternally in your pit of gore
We would fell pity but there’ll be no room
In a heart in Heaven for them that’s doomed
For you promise us only joy
For all your supplicating girls and boys
Who pray and pray like me every day
‘Cos I know how you have to hear how we think you’re great
We even pray for sinners as you say
Although it seems, I’m afraid, for them it’s all in vain
I try to warn them to follow and obey
But they refuse and choose to go their errant ways
Yeah I try to warn them as best I could
To stuff up their brains with the one good book
But they use their eyes not as they should
No they heard of other things and just had to look
Ah well so it seems for them ’twill be too late
Never mind at least I know I’ll be saved
So get me to heaven Lord to meet my friends
I promise all the praise you need to give me a good end

Heaven #2
04:23
|
|||
I got to the gate and I was feeling good
Did most of the things I was told I should
I worshipped and prayed to get you pleased
Told of your glory and followed the creed
I did hold my beliefs despite my eyes
Defied all those dirty heathen science minds
Devoted my days to crushing those who sin
God you’re great now please let me in
Dang! You're wrong! Down you go!
You’re not getting in here with your phony holy show
Think I can’t see through your flattery?
Selfish salvation — seeking won’t do it for me
What did I do wrong lord, who do I blame?
Was it just the part of the world from whence I came?
Why did you put me here then in with the wrong crowd
Drifting blind with the wrong guide in a sheepish cloud?
I backed the wrong horse and now the burning second prize
Is eternal dark paralysis instead of paradise
Should I have spread my bets each way just in case?
I thought I’d followed the righteous course to be well placed
Dang! You're wrong! Down you go!
Having inherited the Earth in perfect health
It was there for you to discover and enjoy
But as soon as you could you fattened up and set out to destroy
You had the master brain to fix it all
Instead you let it go, handing greed the reins
You had your choice of fine minds to learn from and befriend
But preferred to pick petty fights and quickly condemn
So there’ll be no reward for the wantonly inane
And you’re not coming near my house after the mess you made
Of that beautiful oasis of the universe
So get back down there boy and make it work
If I get to the gates I won’t know my fate
A pat on the back or a slam in the face
But till then if we can make this earthly life improve
Whither or whatever, surely we can’t lose

Gandhi's Revenge
05:31
|
|||
It’s an eye for an eye till everyone is blind
And in the screams and the roars reason is ignored
An ear for an ear but no-one wants to listen anyway
It’s a lie for a lie till everyone’s deceived
And if the truth should trickle through it can’t be believed
A mind for a mind till we’re reduced to one or other mob
It’s a head for a head and no-one gets ahead
And anybody left will be way back behind
A life for a life till any kind of good is dead
You can fight fire with fire till everything is burned
Kill and die by the sword till everything’s unlearned
Blood lust and thirst will put your kids in hell
The only war we need is a war on war and to starve starvation
Deprive deprivation of its power to deprave
It’s everybody’s fault and will take everyone to call a halt
‘Cos we can all fuck each other up and knock each other down
Piss each other off and have each other on
Put each other out and do all of ourselves in
But then we’d all be fucked up, knocked down
Pissed off, had on
Put out and done in

Kill em' All
05:12
|
|||
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — the big and the small
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — if they’re like that at all
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — and call it their fault
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — till there’re none left at all
Kill all the bad guys, their brothers and friends
Their mothers and babies, the terror to end
Their fathers and cousins and neighbours must die
So what if they’re innocent? We have to save lives
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — show them we’re strong
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — our might is never wrong
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — a hundred to one
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — show them how it’s done
Drone on and on about freedom and peace
Ensuring bondage and battles don’t cease
Pump up a despot, say “he’s our sonofabitch”
When the machine needs some oiling we can flick the big switch
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — in the name of the lord
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — with a prayer and a war
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — why don’t they leave us alone?
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — why do they hate us so?
If you get one alive who says he hasn’t a clue
Extract what he knows even if it’s not true
Don’t let them play dumb, make him succumb
Remember we’re the good guys whatever we’ve done
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — don’t hear what they say
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — blow their grievances
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — till they agree to be free
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — till they vote the right way
Teach them a lesson they’ll never forget
If you’re caught in error pretend to regret
Don’t you start heeding those bleeding hearts
Just think of your children as we tear theirs apart
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — the old and the young
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — don’t wait for what they maybe will have done
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — till all the killers are gone
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — it’s worked up to now
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — till the end of the quest
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — even then we won’t rest
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — till we’re evilly bereft
Kill ‘em all kill ‘em all — till there’s no enemy
no baddies
no jungle
no oil wells
no beauty
no pity
no mercy
no empathy
no innocence
no laughter
no community
no nothing left

Island
03:42
|

I’m on a boat to the island of my dreams
To join good folk who feel just like me
And we’ll all be friends, happy and free
And it’ll be on reality TV
Clever me, to be born an ideal
Superior being, right in pigment, gender, creed
And we’ll at last be free from the right-on bleeding hearts
And there’ll be no need to put up with lesser beings
No more wishy-washy weeny tip-toe PC tossers
I’m on a boat to fulfill my fantasy
With real folk who know what to believe
And we’ll all vote for an island at peace
What a show for reality TV
But as we approached my heart sank to the seabed
As I trained my eyes on the island of my dreams
Although as advertised it was sunny and pretty
And all the people there think just like me
They were black and yellow pink and green-eyed
Gold-haired christian heathen hindu
Male and female gay and not
And not my nation or my tribe at all
I’m on a boat to the island of my dreams
Oh what a show this is going to be
Who’d want to live on the island of my dreams?
Who’d want to go to the island of my dreams?
Who’d want to vote for the island of my dreams?
Whoever wants to leave has to share the same boat
Hope it gets a hole

Icon Nick had a good lick when he played that lead guitar
But now he’s not young he only uses his tongue to shoot off at the bar
Iron Nick liked to pick on those weaklings down below
But now his rippled neck became a crippled feck from snooting down his nose
Nervous Neddie and Nagging Nelly washed their brains with soap on telly
He got fed up and thought instead he’d keep it clean with his head in a wellie
Waster Wally had so much lolly he couldn’t stuff it all in a shopping trolly
So off he waddled to the orphanage and went and made it into another folly
Live and let live, each to his own
But really sometimes I don’t know
Simple Simon thought to break a hymen was the height of sophistication
But rats and mice do just as nice when they seek gratification
Big Fat Freddie’d so much bread at the ready he couldn’t stop stuffing up with more
So to lose weight he went to Haiti and found much more than being bored
Tut-tut Mother was so full of love she couldn’t bear the future
So she dried her tears and went through the years just believing what did suit her
Bleeding Harty joined the party he thought would be for the common best
Soon they taught him how to be bought and show a finger to the rest
Xenophobe Seán couldn’t help but moan that his country’s been overrun
So he’s upped and gone to where they all come from to be a white lord in the sun
Live and let live, each to his own
But really sometimes it’s hard to know
Populist Pete had stinky feet so he always kept his own shoes on
Just as well ’cos when he heard that bell he’d have to be ready to run
Musicless Mandy had a ghoulish band that scared the midnight masses
But the ghastly group became such a scoop she now gives journalists classes
Bob the gob excited the mob but they said his songs were too wordy
Now they boo and hiss and moan he doesn’t even use a microphone just plays the hurdy-gurdy
Live and let live, each to his own
But really sometimes you just can’t know

Escape
07:05
|

Escape into your mind
Escape into your wine
Escape into your sleep
Feel yourself unwind
Escape into your dreams
But if you can’t and it seems
You’re condemned to lie in wait
For the dawn of day
Escape into the light
And when that’s too bright
Go hiding in the dark
Steal into the night
Sneak into the crowd
And when that’s too loud
Find a secret little nook
Escape into your book
Flee the solitude
Introverted mood
Join the racing mob
Go and get a job
Escape into your work
And if it’s boring murk
You’re free to fantasise
Flee your rotten luck
What are you running from?
Can you make it go away?
Are the things that you love or loathe
Changing day to day?
Run into romance
An erotic trance
Rolling on a beach
In exotic lands
Escape pervasive sands of time
In every strand
In every part of life
In everything extant
Escape into your faith
Flee the facts you hate
Jump into your cause
Excuse its awkward flaws
Escape into a war
It’s an adventure shur
When you find there’s nothing worse
Climb into your hearse
Where do you want to be?
A new reality?
Just to be fear and pain free
Is it all you really need?
Get into a sport
Run around and jump and roar
Or a game of high finance
Till it fills and takes your pants
Escape into your ego
Say you’re a VIP though
You know it’s all just muck
You just rode your luck
Get into your art
Spilling out your heart
Escape into the song
Don’t make it too long
Why do we flee?
Are we ever really free?
Is it just a change of scenes
That it ever really means?
Sink into a joint
Maybe there’s the point
And when you’re sick of sitting stoned
Go running ‘round the roads
Escape into a new leaf
Get into other peoples’ grief
Certainly no joke
But we need to laugh to cope
Escape into your kids
Hide inside your home
And when the pressure builds
Break up and pine alone
What are you looking for?
The illusive holy grail?
Be sure enjoy the journey
Or you’ll ultimately fail
Escape into the past
Here and now will never last
If you think the future’s great
Don’t drown in half a glass
Happy’s not a place
Just a passing phase
A feeling and a state of mind
In a little snatch of time
