The Reichenbach Falls
Wilkommen, Bienvenue
Watch the picture comin through
Share your breakfast with the world
as we call at the Reichenbach falls
Download your destiny
plugged into the machine
that lies between us all
as you call at the Reichenbach falls
crazy cyber-terrorist come face your nemises
in the online mind entwined, the Napoleon of crime
Transmit through the ether, broadcast to the edge of the stars
take me to your leader - the mastermind behind it all
They let you think that you're a god
while their bots consume your thought
to sell you your own soul
as we fall at the Reichenbach falls
crazy cyber-terrorist come face your nemises
The destroyer of time, the Napoleon of crime
Transmit through the ether, broadcast to the edge of the stars
take me to your leader - the mastermind behind it all
They gave you a calculator - now you cant add up
Step into the simulator - now you can't stand up
Welcome the machine - the thinking machine
They gave you machine.
Become the machine

Viva Revolution
04:07
|

watch the sun in the sky, watch the man in the moon
feel the autumn in your mind - this moment passing through
the hour is drawing near - listen, you can hear
the revolution calling you
Oh it will creep like a flood in the night
rise through the tears and the hurt and the lies
then up through your heart
Viva revolution, Viva revolution, Viva revolution
watch the moonlight on the coast, watch the sunlight on the trees
feel the wild October ghost in his hallowed mystery
The time approaches fast - sown in the past
the revolution calls to thee
Oh it will grow like the moss on a stone
Rise in the swell of the ocean's foam
and up through your heart
Viva revolution, Viva revolution, Viva revolution
Spreads like a light that illuminates the hall
Cuts like a vine that slips in through the wall
Flows like the ice that crumbles mountains tall
then up through your heart
Viva revolution

This Is Not Utopia

This is not Utopia
Take a tube train, strike yourself dumb
wandering on the plain on the blazing sun
cry the lizards tears
lying on the sand, feel the breeze from Algiers
Sing to the sea, from you balcony
the souls down on the street crawl on their knees
hear the lizard speak
Don't let the writing on the roof spoil your view
tell yourself each day - nothing can be changed
and nothing can be changed or undone
hard wired to fear
destitution near
this is not Utopia - move on!
The goats milk sours in the hot sunshine
we ponder hear, for hours, the illusion of time
Poor man living in a rich man's home
the same rich man - renting out a house he doesn't own
it's dog eat dog - it's gonna eat itself for sure
at such a cost in this cathedral of the poor
and they say that it's supposed to trickle down
trickle down
down, down, down
Tell yourself each day - nothing can be changed
just so nothing can be changed or undone
no-one to steer
a free-marketeer
this is not Utopia - move on!
An invisible hand makes it all for good
it isn't true, but it will do to delude us fools
and we gladly play our part
but in Guel I stopped to dwell on the lie of fine art

Productivity

...and now you have come of age
it's time for you to pay your way
Welcome to the world of working, welcome to lackyism
welcome to global warfare, all out pointless competition
Thinking outside the box, now we can't get back in
all these shifting paradigms are clouding our blue skies
we are restructuring - you must be flexible
we'd like to take all the good things away from your post
we must please our shareholders -they're hungry for some growth
they'll gorge their lazy, bloated, greedy, coke-encrusted faces
Productivity
we'll introduce a framework - a pro-active action plan
a corporate, strategic window of opportunity
and then we'll all jump through it -down to our certain death
cos nobody knows what this company actually does
Productivity
we're growing ever forward - reducing our cost base
drill down, drill down
we need to lose ten people -obviously we can't lose me
My hundred K's needed to stand right here and point the way
you're looking tired and stressed - you'll let the whole team down
you should embrace the change - EMBRACE THE CHANGE!!!
You could be TUPE'd out - we'll cut your T's and C's
We need our friends in government to help make you redundant!
Productivity

Do you know what you want?
Everything is connected so they say
they might be right, they might be wrong
it's a done deal anyway
Everything is infected with a doubt
the certainties that once we knew
are beyond our view for now
don't know where we're going
can't see 'round the bend
but then the journey is the end
and how we've come so far
but do you know what you want?
you only know what you don't
do we know where we go from here?
we can't agree on this at all
and when Jerico comes tumbling down
do you know even who you are?
and what will you do when you hold the crown?
Everyone is dejected with the lies
the sweetest dreams that turned so sour
that we'd long believed were ours
Think you know what the score is
following the trend
but then the journey is the end
and how we come so far
but do you know what you want?
you only know what you don't
do we know where we go from here?
we can't agree on this at all
When the crowd has brought the statue down
do they know even who they are
and what will they do when they take the town?
Blow the trumpet - crash the moon into the the sun
Smash the tyrant, now the spell has been undone
watch the power flow across the land
Push the button, push right through the storm
Pull the trigger, you're just getting warm
feel the power flow into your hands
When the last man falls and the flag's torn down
do you know even who you are
and what will you do when you hold the crown?
but do you know what you want?
you only know what you don't
do we know where we go from here?
we can't agree on this at all
and when Jerico comes tumbling down
do we know even who we are
and what will we do when we hold the crown?
Everything is connected so they say
they might be right, they might be wrong
it's a done deal anyway

It's a crazy sort of world
we've got oh so much to say
Open your mouth - someone else's words are coming through
Watch the sunrise, but you are not awake
Reading your mind in a newspaper each day
You cannot decide - you are deceived
You cannot rely on all you believe
'cos you're not free
They can get you in your dreams
They can move you like the waves upon the sea
Though you don't understand the flow
They know all they need to know
- make you think your life's your own
And you thought you could debate
But they taught you who to hate
- the unemployed, unions and the state
Just to defend the precious way of life they hold so dear
Just when you thought you were safe there in your bed
A gargantuan gun is pointing at your head
You cannot deny this reality
You have to comply - you cannot leave
'cos you're not free
They can get you in your dreams
They can bounce you like a child upon the knee
Though they don't live down here with you
- they make their crust from all you do
Make you think their lies are true
Didn't you watch it on the news
- we'd kill each other just to buy a pair of shoes
The human race is falling down
So easily manipulated we can be
and don't think they don't know how
You cannot hid - you are the Hare
Trapped inside - you are ensnared
by some idiot Billionaire
They can get you in your dreams
They can turn you like a cog in a machine
though you don't think they'll touch your soul
- they have given you your goals
Make you think you're in control
They can get you in your dreams
They can stir you like the sugar in your tea
and though you know you are aware -
they made you think that you don't care
They can get you in your dreams
they can move you like the waves upon the sea

Don't Be Sad

Dont be sad
feel the love within you
Emerge from the dark
let the sunshine on your heart
You're not lost - you are here right now
you'll get through somehow
and make a new start
Don't be sad
be happy
Don't feel blue
find the strength to carry on
when you're down - fly above the clouds
for you must allow
the show to go on
Don't feel cold
feel empathy
Don't be tired
Be energy
you never know - you might make it right
at least you must try
to live for the day
Don't cry tears
cry out for joy
don't be cruel
be love's envoy
don't get depressed - it's just a state of mind
you can decide
to feel what you want
Don't be sad
You are wonderful
I am wonderful
we are wonderful

Test Card F
A magical time, the dawn of the age, the awakening of minds
You - you were the face that swept away grey, brought colour to life
Around the world, the mystery girl spellbound us all with that neverending tic tac toe
From an amazing year when a simple idea became something of it's own
In every home, in every school and tv shop window
you could not escape the smile on your face, waiting for the show
and who could frown at Bubbles the clown even although he was actually quite strange
just like the potentates who would commentate on the strangeness of the change
and oh - what's the meaning of it all?
is it Autumn, is it fall?
Or a cypher in the soul
To the past we belong, that lost which we have carried down through our songs
They melodies sway, the words fade away, yet the meaning rolls on
Napoleon, in Portmerion, pondered upon the grandest of dreams within a dream
but his cross came to naught on a lighthouse caught on a penny for your thoughts
So hard to define the stars in our minds
Dissolution begun
A dawn or a cusp - the age of Aquarius has come
When the programme comes undone
and oh - what's the meaning of it all?
is it Autumn, is it fall?
is it autumn is it fall
autumn is it fall
autumnisitfall
