This moment’s for real
I feel so connected, Asleep at the wheel
I guess I’ll take the long way
Cos we’re making real ground
We’re making the sound of laughter
Don’t mean to make a fuss, Don’t mean to draw attention
I know compliments, Can be so hard to handle
Smile and say I know, Sometimes I can be such an arsehole
This moment’s for us, For us all together
Frozen, pristine, Well at least as much as can be
Everyone understands, That something so broad, so bland
Can be so life affirming, So maybe at least I’m learning
To live with myself, And to know a purpose
A chance just to exist, Shouldn’t be missed

Song for Utopia

This is our country, Everyone’s happy
Does what they want to, Wakes when they want to
Everyone’s equal, Robots do the work we don’t want to
Everyone is a hero, And every hero has a home
Today,Today resolve,Today resolve, Today x 2
Our cities are masterpieces, A delight to see
Countryside lush and abundant, Large predators roaming free
Today,Today resolve,Today resolve, Today x 2
The people are so beautiful, So intelligent and fun
The food is delicious, And we’ve cured every known disease
This is our entry, A song for utopia
A national statment, From our country, Isonomy
No one is enslaved, And no one is compressed
There is enough space for all, You most come and visit soon
See for yourself, Stay if you want to
Today,Today resolve,Today resolve, Today x 6

One day we’re all gonna die
We’re all gonna die, We’re all gonna die
Or then again
We’ll all be born, We’ll all be born, Be born again
Or then
We’re all gonna fight, We’re all gonna fight, That terrible fight
Or then again
On the way we might make some friends, And make amend
Again
Once or twice in every life, In every life
We’ll all fall in love, We’ll all fall in love, We’ll all fall in love with ourselves
Again
Through little you, Through little me, We can dream eternally
Through little us, Through little them, We can dream
Again
Every life deserves a sound bite, ‘Whatever Gets You Through the Night’
‘Everything is Gonna be Alright’, ‘I am not Afraid’
When you’ve found yours
Repeat to fade….
Once or twice in every life, In every life, In every life
We’ll all fall in love, We’ll all fall in love, We’ll all fall in love with ourselves
Again

Deception vs Willing suspension of disbelief
Declare yourself an entropist, let the universe sort it out
Dark matter, You matter, All lives matter
All will be honoured and remembered but some only in books
Money is for poor people, This is the price we pay
For peace harmony and shopping
Perfection’s over-rated
If you don’t throw the ball, you won’t hit the coconut
Men who would be Napoleon
I admire Karl Max but I prefer Groucho
Austerity is manufactured to stop the working class
from building their own spaceships
Age out into the system, The cradle of human kindness
Waste is not waste until it is wasted
Money is for poor people, This is the price we pay
For peace harmony and shopping
Perfection’s over-rated
If you don’t throw the ball, you won’t hit the coconut
If you don’t throw the ball, you won’t hit the coconut
If you don’t throw the ball, you won’t hit the coconut

We can not turn the clock backwards
But we can wind it forward
Dead leaders on permanent display
Dead leaders forever to remain
Dead leaders, Dead leaders, Dead leaders
They’re never far away
Well if history has taught us one thing, That is that we have all learnt nothing
We would learn well from our mistakes
Then I’m sure we could repeat them all perfectly
Dead leaders on permanent display
Dead leaders forever to remain
Dead leaders, Dead leaders, Dead leaders
They’re never far away
And we can not turn he clock backwards, But we can wind it forward
For we are all anatomically - most - modern humans
Connecting with the divine, Not sure that’s a good use of my time
But maybe I’d accept a request of some kind
Dead leaders on permanent display
Dead leaders forever to remain
Dead leaders, Dead leaders, Dead leaders
They’re never far…
Away
