The Pook of Pok

A vision of hope

2012-01-24T16:24:00.000-08:00

A vision of hope I sing for you
A vision of hope is coming through
It's what we in this world must heed
Hope filled loving vision seeds

Aural receptors hear the words
Please do not think it absurd
A vision of hope is what we need
Because this earth here wounded bleeds

Hear this provoking rhyme
Heralding action's hopeful tide
Take it to heart for there it flows
Courage surging as it goes

Foundationed block by hopeful block
Caused by faith like unto a rock
Make majestic dreams to fly
Into societies mind's eye

The initial extended utopian acid dream

2012-01-24T15:59:00.000-08:00

World war one blew off our arms and legs
World war two laid the atomic egg
World war three is the war against nature
This is the story that the freaks created yeah

LSD came with the nuclear dawn
And all the boom babies picked up the score
Till the plastic colours of the nineteen sixties
Faded round about seventy four

Punk came along and with anarchy rent
All it's feelings of discontent
At the shitstem with an amphetamine rage
Youth rebel resistance violence in the head
No more heroes they're all dead

New Romantics were naff but Thatcher was worse
And all the good that was done got reversed
So began the soul devoid eightees
But of the women of Greenham I shall speak of in greatness

They sat on silos for nuclear warheads
Chanted to the Goddess to come to them
Rid this land of the cruel Cruise missile
And this is exactly what they did

By the time of nineteen eighty four
We had the miner's strike, they deplored
Conditions under which they had to work
So stood firm at their pickets not taking no more

So the riot police came and did their worse
But they practised on the hippies first
At what seemed like a festi at Nostal Priory
Was there ever a public enquiry?

So here enter police not wearing their numbers
In riot vans with batons gas and shields encumbered
To the peace festivals that people were making
An alternative life to the daily grind partaking

The infamous so-called Beanfield Battle
Marked what would have been the twelfth annual
Stonehenge mid-summer solstice celebration
But a Queen's charter was never granted

It would have secured the gathering for good
But the state trashed the hippies because it could
What can you say it was low and obscene
It got twisted in the papers and on the screen

The New Age Traveler Peace Convoy did annoy
The powers that be who scattered them all
Because they were scared of what they had formed
Because their traveler ways were becoming a norm

There were certainly too many drugs
But these people were not by nature thugs
But driven out of house and home
By circumstances that they did not own

Alienated to the extreem
By different sorts of government scheme
Offered shit work or unemployment lines
You bet that they looked for a better time!

It was the end of the end of the initial
Extended utopian acid dream

What goes around

2012-01-24T15:52:00.000-08:00

Standing at the edge of time hanging out my washing line
Spiral wizard make your spell at bottom of a wishing well

Throw yourself into the void there's no need to be destroyed
Karma has it all but kepy the pebbles Dionysis wept

Makin' spells of ancient law it opens up a very door
Door in the mind is door to sky science still wonders how and why

Cobbled words from bits of string dragon scale and magic ring
I can't tell you how to live it's all in the love you give

What goes around around around around
Comes around around around
Comes around comes around

The ballade of the Spacegoats

2012-01-24T15:32:00.000-08:00

Ever movin' ever changing ever staying the same
They roam the stars in burnt out cars
Here's how the Spacegoats got their name

The cosmic crew knew their cue fate of earth is in the swing
Knowing God the cloven shod came down to sing 'the Morning Dew'

So to transform it was their norm by playing 'pon the Huru horn
They took it down to Twyford Down they played their holy sacred sounds

And here they met the Dongas folk the music rang long hard and loud
With magic blows to a Tarmac heart it's what you'd call a road protest!

Earth children we've gotta listen to our
Soul Mother she's on the go

From Solsbury Hill to Newbury with a Fairmile in between
With festies all around the place where many stones were turned

Now the stakes are getting high corruption war all deadly lies
Flame of fire and Goaty bleat stamping of a Dragon's feet

From El Nino to eschaton you might wonder what we're on
Two hundred years of abuse will surely let the storm unloose

Earth Mother!
Transformation!
Radiation for breakfast
She's gonna take us through the cyclone's eye
To Hunab Ku and back again

Then we went to a Goodman's place when the Law evicted Crystal Palace
From folk through punk to Gypsy Hill starry eyed and laughing still

"Inamorata" hear us shout Thirteen Moons will work it out
Mandala was the studio where we recorded don't you know?

We vision of a world to be through turmoil of this present age
To heal with music word and weed so much to grow from tiny seed

The task it is just begun yet only half a tale is spun
Around the world and back again tied up with a daisy chain

Lightening flash forgotten dream no-one knows what it means
We're all involved come what may to travel through the Milky Way

It's where us Goats all belong and where lives this strange old song
So watch out when you turn around perhaps you'll hear the Goaty sound

Transform complete this wicked world so the Rainbow's start to whirl
Trance us Hurunagas worm of your glory let us learn

Roll on

2012-01-24T15:14:00.000-08:00

Walk you out in the moonlight walk you under the stars
Walk you out in the moonlight walk you under the stars
You know my baby you're beautiful just as you are

Your father's the sunshine your mother's the rain
Your father's the sunshine your mother's the rain
Catch 'em together you've got a rainbow again

Your brother paints pictures of the tramps in the street
Your brother paints pictures of the tramps in the street
You'd think they wouldn't like it but he paints 'em neat

I ain't got no shoes walking down this mile
You ain't got no jewels but you're wearing a smile
What we got is the moonlight and that's always in style

Don't cry Sandy

2012-01-22T12:43:00.000-08:00

Sandy got a ticket for the Underground, she paid her money at the stile
Waited for the train to Charing Cross bought some news to pass the while
She knows she has to get to where she is going
Got to get to Peter on time

Train rolls into the station and Sandy gets on board
Sees there's five stops to go till she gets there, well at least there's no more
She's late already what will she do
Gotta get there on time

Man in a trilby hat and great coat looks down at her with weasely eyes
Doesn't say a think and she avoids his eyes but Sandy goes queer inside
And at Charing Cross she darts out of the station
Got to get where she's going on time

It's exactly a quarter to one and it should have been half past twelve
Sandy didn't make it on time but that gets put on the shelf
Peter's open arms welcome her in and Sandy feels all a glow

chorus:
Don't cry Sandy don't feel blue
You know he loves you you know it's true

Wide eyed Annie

2012-01-22T12:23:00.000-08:00

Chick name of Annie she's waiting upstairs she's got a deal she's made
And needs to get up country to get away and be clean
But there's a street load of policemen who just don't want this to be

Her man didn't come through and she's got a case full
A big bag of bad luck if she's caught in this state
And the state of her mind is wiped all over the place

Now anyway Annie's got a hyper-set brain and uses cocaine
That's why she's stuck here in Maine where it ain't so quaint
And she's thinking to herself "How did I get here?"

And the police are calling "You gotta come out
We're gonna kick the door in, we know you're in there,
You'd better give yourself up, it ain't tea for two, get ready we're coming through"

But it's ok she says she can cope, ties up a tourniquet
Cranks up a needle full of coke, "It's no joke" she says
In fact you know shit it's all the same

Annie's wide eyed and she's slipping away out the window down the drainpipe
Briefcase handle clenched between her teeth, dangling in the breeze
And her conscience is calling when will my mind find peace

chorus:
Wide eyed you are you are with your briefcase little Annie
Wide eyed you'll be till you get away from your mind

Goddam hippy ideals

2012-01-22T12:16:00.000-08:00

Anything that you want to do is fine
Anything that you want to do is fine
Just as long as it don't hurt no one
Do your own thing and I'll do mine

I don't want to send people to war
I don't want to send people to war
War is only good for making further wars
And profiting the few nothing more

Freedom is just a word
Freedom is just another word
Freedom is just the best
Goddam word I ever heard

As we are all living on this earth
As we are all living here on earth
Step gently over the surface
Treat her as you do yourself

We all know that we are what we eat
We all know that we are what we eat
Some eat vegetables and some eat meat
We all know we are what we eat

You can buy organic if you're rich
You can buy organic if you're rich
But if you're poor you go to the Pound Store
Rich hippies get all the best bits

They tried killing all the hippies
They tried to stone them to death
"Let he who is no hippy cast the first stone"
Said Jesus and they all went home

chorus:
Look in the eye girl look in the sky
How should we treat ourselves?
Girl I'm asking, we both know
Goddam hippy ideals

The Earth Mother's Daughter's Dance

2012-01-18T12:05:00.000-08:00

See the circles in the corn what is Mother saying?
See Her cut a furrow there, here a whirlpool turning
But these forces unseen will pick you up again
Turn it all around, what have we found?

Come and join the circle come and join the ring
Come and join the sacred dance turn a Goddess singing
Demeter Persephone
Turn the corn wrap it round, what have we found

See oh don't you see
The Earth Mother's Daughter's dance

Why is it the Mother, why is it she is calling
Why is it she's crying out, why is it she's screaming?
Nature's pain is written deep in fields of corn where circles meet

See oh don't you see
The Earth Mother's Daughter's dance

Dance! Dance!
Sisters! Dance!

Diamond Rain

2012-01-18T11:58:00.000-08:00

Seduced by Eden's inner call
Our spirits met at Pomeroy
To sit in circles beneath the moon
Where diamond rain falls like dew

Faerie trumpets call the corn
Sound circles herald dawn
Meet us here within these rings
Where diamond rain falls from the moon

Light the fire, fire bright
Love is a burning brand tonight
Dance the dance, light the light
Love is a burning brand tonight

Of troubadours in circle days
True and clear were notes we played
Meet us us here where no time lies
Come to give our stories life

Light the fire...

Falling falling falling rain

August's crop has come again
We stand within the diamond rain
Falling falling falling rain
Where dancing lines meet in the grain
(repeat till end)

Dragons

2012-01-18T11:53:00.000-08:00

When knights of old recover
Sweep the streets clean to the green
Rise from the iron that slew us down
Gather round tables again

When knights of old remember
Dragons dwell in this land
Guinevere she sheds a tear
Her knights she does command

Dragon eye is glowing
Fire on beacons burning
The creature crystal pulsing sings
And we do learn the song

Now Arthur walks once more Avalon
Merlin stirs in his sleep
We find his work lost long ago
And wend it in the world

Dragon eye is glowing
Fire on beacons burning
The creature crystal pulsing sings
And we do sing the song

Goodness knows (We can work together)

2012-01-10T14:56:00.000-08:00

Whatever way you go
Whatever seeds you sow
You are part of everything
We can work and dance and sing

Whatever kind of man you are
You were born to go far
Take a little or take a lot
Take a bit of what I've got

Our lives all flow together
Our vision is one
Happy is how we spend the day
In what we do and what we say

chorus:
Goodness knows we can work together
Goodness knows we can share the land
Goodness knows we can walk about the world in love
Goodness knows goodness knows

Wild Time

2012-01-10T14:42:00.000-08:00

A wild time is being had by us all
A wild time beside this burning wall
And it's a pagan time being had by us all
A wild time beneath this crumbling wall

People running to the rhythm
Dogs are barking in the street
Christians marching always onwards
Stop, let your hair down to the beat

Crusaders of the deadly night
Lay down your shields in holy fright
Children of the Sun are slowly moving
Like creatures to the all cleansing light

Saviour save us please
Saviour we'll pay a fee
Answers 'Don't you look to me
It's your problem, not for me"

Snowy White

2012-01-10T14:23:00.001-08:00

This is the tale of Snowy White
You could tell from the start that he wasn't quite right
Albino left handed cross eyed too
The sort your mother would keep from you

Ah Snowy White

He was born in a slum in a rusted hutch
The killer rabbit would never come to much
No good at following rules and regulations
Of not taking drugs and such temptations

Ah Snowy White

So he hit the road yeah but he hit the lights
He took the high road and it dazzled his sight

One day he took it too far
Some straight moles were driving a car
Snowy gets heavy with some flames on the road
The moles get mad and call in the Toad

Ah Snowy White

Come on bunny he said to his girl, let's go ride the surf ride the swirl
This world has too much hesitation I want somewhere to vent my frustration

He would glow in the dark on a scary night
Cadmium implants made him way bright
Snowy died in the Toadhole his Watership Down
Ganged up on by the furries far underground

Ah Snowy White

And if you look on my belt you'll see a rabbit's foot glowing there

Goddammit it's true

2012-01-10T14:17:00.000-08:00

I don't know why I love you but I do
And I don't know how to act when I'm with you
I look out the window stand on one foot
Don't know if I'm in or out, I'm not as I should be

And I love you
Yes I do
And I need you
Goddammit it's true

I'm shaky in your presence but I don't let on
I'm howlin' for ya babe don't get me wrong
And these moments we're together they fill me up
Yes they do they fill me up, they fill me through and through

Mara my dear

2012-01-10T14:09:00.000-08:00

Mara my dear won't you please come back
I waited a year and you don't
If you're gone I'll waste away
If you're dead I'll die

I'd sail the sea to be with you
I'd cross the ocean wide
I'd travel a million miles
To find out where you're hiding

Oh my love you're far away
Mara where are you
Come on wings of light to me
Show me what to do

Um diddle diddle

2012-01-10T13:58:00.000-08:00

With an:
Um diddle diddle diddle um dim day
Um diddle diddle day
Um diddle diddle diddle um dim day
Um diddle diddle day
Um diddle diddle day

Take your partner by the hand
And strip him to the waist
Lay your hands upon his hips
And lay his soul to waist

Turn a wheel upon the grass
Look up to the sky
Dip your head in barley wine
And never wonder why

Do the barndance one two three
Dance the oldern way
Gather girls around you
Take them into the hay

Drink yourself into the ground
Drink 'til you reach the floor
Wait 'til you hear the angels come
And then pray for some more

Dance like old Nick himself
Set your feet on fire
If I said he was not watching
Then I would be a liar

Hear the fiddler play his tune
Faster faster fire
Notes they set a rick alight
Build higher and higher

Girls in dresses oh so fine
Dancing wild and warm
I see Connie later tonight
I'm gonna be in her arms

Spend some time together

2012-01-10T13:50:00.000-08:00

I'd like to spend some time together
I'd like to spend some time with you
I'd like to spend some time together
Some time with you

Oh yes you're the fabulous toothpick girl
But then I wasn't a man
I'd like you to pick clean my bones and lend a helping hand

And if you fancy me a bit
Well that's all right
I don't want to get in your way but it makes me feel alright

Or if you don't want to see me
I guess I'll have to wait and see
I want the best for each other what is best must be

Oh I am the ugly sister's son
And my head doesn't match my hands
I need to talk because you see I can understand

Now I am dying to explain this
Why I have to act this way
It's the way the world has made me and I am so terribly afraid

Flame woman

2012-01-02T14:39:00.001-08:00

Come with me
And be who you are
You want to and you will

Oh lustrous Salamander
Come coil around me
Want to surrender don't want you to flee

Your bold brazen body
Is sleek and fierce and wild
But you are of another dimension

Scorch me to reason
With your flaming words
Gutter all my pretensions

Solid fuel woman
Make combustion with me
Burn a path to our creator

And now you are nearer
So you can burn me out
Flame fire woman there's no doubt

Your incendiary emotions
Meet my driving rain
You cry out for hours then become silent

And there in the embers
I stand black and smouldering
You grind your heel in my cinders

Moving slowly
Flickering quick
In the ashes all around us

White plumes of light
Dancing so bright
Not engulfed by my hot mists surrounding

Cities burn in the haze
Our lives are freed from the maze
But where are we now?

When you incinerate
All I am
You are also extinguished

Jack be nimble

2012-01-02T14:21:00.000-08:00

You got to pass through the eye of a needle
Jack be nimble and quick
Livin' in such modern times
You got to jump the candlestick

And he's jumping over Washington
He jumped the Kremlin too
He threaded the twelve stars of Europe
And jumped all Asia through

chorus:
And it's a long way back and a long way to go
And he keeps me on a travelling the road
If you haven't got the time Jack'll lay it on the line
And he'll paint you over with reason

See him on the street corner
Peddling some peace and love
But the hope that he tells makes you go "Well
I think I might go and do that myself"

Did you see him at that barracade?
Was that his face on the TV?
Do you think that he's a double agent?
Could be he's inside you and me

And he's changing like a chameleon
Catch him while you can
His brain neurones are firing off a new route
He's got the whole world in his plan

Jack was killed on the twelfth December
Jack was hung at Gibbet's hill
Jack was seen clearly New Year's morn
So I guess he's a jumping Jack still

I seen Jack he's got a smallholding
Piece of land he's holding down
Ever felt you had to jump the candlestick?
What goes around comes around

Images of you

2012-01-02T14:12:00.000-08:00

Images of you are splattered all across my brain
Speaking from the paving slabs and crying in the rain
Plastered through the sky with no one to ask of why
All I would like you to know is how you truly glow

Trying to imagine of a place I cannot be
Sitting on a bench with you but no kiss for me
Gliding on a wind whose name is the farthest shore
Hearing you tell me that you don't want me no more

Remembering my guitar or the green bannisters of school
When you were a songbird and I was but a fool
I carried it away because this thing I could not lend
All I know now is that I'm glad we are still friends

West wind blowin'

2012-01-02T14:05:00.001-08:00

West wind blowin' on the Eastern side of my face
Only knowing that it might just save me grace
West wind blowin' on the Eastern side of my face
I'd like to go there just can't find the place

East wind tellin' me things too far away to see
Some other life or one thousand ways to be
East wind tellin' me things too far away to see
And then I'm thinking he might just be lookin' at me

North wind blowin' always chills me to the bones
Roamin' crazy all down that lonesome road
North wind blowin' she always chills me to my bones
Then to tell me she always goes it alone

South wind tugs at my coat wants to take me home
Sweet fragrant breeze I know just what it's showing
South wind tugs at my coat wants to take me home
I know it well but it's just not the way I'm going

West wind blowin'
West wind blowin'
West wind blowin' on the Eastern side of my face
Only knowing it might just save me grace

Transition

2012-01-02T13:59:00.000-08:00

Sit down relax and take a ride
Into the future Earthworld
We shall see what has become
Of Earth and all it's people
A hundred years or less ahead
This is what could be
This is the Planet calling!
Transition! Transition!
Now the time has come
For us to reach our destination
Just how far you want to go now
Is up to your imagination
The Planet has changed
It's surface covered in metal and plastic
People are strange
The change to come is going to be drastic
A hundred years or even now
This is what could be...

Eternity

2012-01-02T13:53:00.000-08:00

I know I caused you suffering
I know I caused you pain
When you gave my life to me
So selfless you came
And taught me of equality
Of quality and of names
And if it's love that this amounts to
I hope we feel the same

Don't know if you believe me
When I talk of eternity
But you did conceive me
From life's mystery
It's a sentimental journey
Through the song of life to life
And I hope you will receive me
On the other side of time

Woah woah woah woh Mother
Woah woah woah woh me
Woah woah woah woh everyone
Woah woah woah eternity

Letter to Talbot

2012-01-02T13:45:00.000-08:00

Wrote a letter to a friend called Talbot
Asked him what he was doing and where he was going
I had to get to him somehow before he slipped away
He took a trip to the moon suspended from a silver spoon
I kind of knew that tune he was playing
So I strung along and hung on every word

Round about the time the chord broke
And he'd gone too far to crawl back down the chimney
I spoke in a voice like a wind of winter
And our chapped hands called the name of a forgotten rose
Of course as everyone knows it's too far
And too few out here to be taken seriously

Talbot can do as he pleases
And rises up upon the breezes
So I hope this letter reaches you
And you can work out what to do
But who knows what the reason is
Taking care I guess in far out regions

I wanted to tell you then

2012-01-02T13:38:00.000-08:00

Time passes by like flies never knowing reasons whys
And all the while I had the photograph
And I wanted to tell you then tell you then
But you knew

In between the moments blue I had a little thought of you
But after all it was make believe
And I wanted to tell you then tell you then
I miss you

I've been talking to your wife
She says "Don't worry about your trouble and strife
There's better ways in which to spend your time"

So who am I when I sing this little tune a precious thing
I hold it like a jewel now
And I wanted to tell you then tell you then
But you knew

The End?

2012-01-02T13:30:00.000-08:00

The end my friend
The end my friend
Is it really where it's at?
Can you see?
Others of us may be
We can do better than that
One by one come along
Join hands across this wide open river
It's easy all you have to do is try
It's what you want to do
Just spread your wings and fly
What you need and what you say is not unreal
What you fear at night is only how you feel
What you mean and what you've seen
Will surely take you to the answer
And if we bleed someone take heed
Yes we cure our own cancer
Though it's hard you hold the card
To all reason and renewal
What you've known is what you've sown
Is what has blown for such a long time
What you were shown when you were alone
Is what you own is who you are
And this is not the end

Free

2011-12-17T10:41:00.000-08:00

I saw you mitting fitting pitting
Your mind against the mighty foe that ain't there
Ain't it due for some scare
I saw you wrestle in the dark
In you park of indigo delights
And Alice she danced there too
And it ain't a case of wasting
Mine or anybody else's favorite trials
Feel the need so good it bleeds
Come on in for some clues
And when I find my rune
Encrusted with the sun and moon
And you'll be there and you'll barely see
Look at me a head of gourd
I'll take what I can afford
But the flowers
They are for free
I danced with you beneath
A transcendental moon halo of a rainbow
Feel the need so good it bleeds
Come on in for some clues
So ride from your far country
Ride the lion and drink honey
And you're free
You're free

Red Shoes

2011-12-17T09:18:00.000-08:00

I met a girl
She's got red shoes
I met a girl
She kicked the blues
All over the place
She's a rag-tail muffin girl
She's a trespassing angel
And she'll walk all over you

I met a martian
I was hitching a ride
He gave me some shoes
And a guitar slides
All over the place
And the wheels go round and round
Seems the best place to catch an orchard
Is on the sun's rise

Pack of cards
And the day's on fire
I may be strange
But it'll take you higher
Look over the hill
See what's coming our way
The coins are in the air
And the reasons all are there
Yes it's so

I met a girl
She's got red shoes
I met a girl
She kicked the blues
All over the place
She's a speeding queen on ice
You can't take her anywhere
She'll steal the food from beneath your nose
Yes she will

Follow

2011-12-17T09:12:00.001-08:00

If you go
I will follow
Make a way
We will come
I strode ahead
Looked behind
Saw the million hordes

And you know
That passage on through
The golden door
Endless paths
All merge into one
How it is so

How to be
It does not matter
Come as you are
Does not mind
Open heart
Open mind
Travel on
We go together

And you know
That passage on through
The golden door
Endless paths
All merge into one
How it is so

When the walls of the temple
Are cast to the ground
And light shines through the ruins
When the form decays
To leave no trace
That is the time of re-doing

And the sun is shining
Casting rays throughout the Universe
And everything goes on as before
The slip of light has pierced the very
Heart and soul of you
Take a look
Open up your door

At first you may find it a little curious
Just let go to the feeling
Describe a circle your arms outstretched
Learn to feel this healing
Singing:
La la la

Send the suns rays into the earth
And round a round a round around a turning
The moon will shine her light upon you
As 'round the stones we are revolving

Become a tribe of many lifes
A round a round a round a round evolving
The moon will shine her light upon you
As 'round the stones we are returning
Singing
La la la

Send the seeds into the ground
Send the seeds into the ground
It's a holy holy holy sound
Send the seeds into the Earth
Send the seeds into the Earth
You know you know you know it's worth

Don't 'cha don't cha don't cha know
We gotta sow sow sow sow
And don't 'cha don't 'cha don't 'cha know
We gonna grow grow grow grow

la la la

And the sun is shining
Casting rays across the Universe
And everything goes on as never before
The slip of light has pierced the very
Heart and sould of you
Take a look
Open up your door

A year gone

2011-12-17T08:42:00.000-08:00

Love is knocking on the cellar door
Love is rolling in the casks
Love is running like water from our ears
Love in the mould is cast
All our veins should just warm to it's touch
Unblock the block you won't admits there
All we do need is some good company
Is this so much so much

You with yer blonde hair and painted eyes
Moving in and out and up and round and down
Taking care oh kindred kind
Taking care over me
Worry not for your little brothers dreams
Though his path be tattered and torn
I may be a ghost but I'm a pretty good host
Just come on in and see

It's a year gone so quick so cold
Since any embrace of warm
And though she was here she was every every everywhere
But from those rags I've torn
Something you could call independance
But it's really only a scrap
Of what is all
Of what is all
Of what is all
Is me

Bag of stones (Re-rework in progress) I may or may not have original somewhere

2011-12-17T08:06:00.001-08:00

It's a restless farewell to whom it may concern
Without parallel or justification
It's a message from me to you through the wave of thought
As clear as clear can be in this air
And these gratifications that we give to each other
Are easily cast aside
And forgotten beneath the rubble of old houses
We used to live inside

So here I have a bag of stones
Old ancient as diamonds
I will give to those who use them freely
Or those whose eyes tell me so:

One for the man who brought me here
When staggering in from the cold
All for the stone that is so much a stone
As you know stone it is most old
One for the painter
One for the poet
One for the clown
These people sow it
One for the builder
One for the break
And one for he who can hear every snake
One for the no one
One for us all
One for lost laughters
Behind a wall
One for Death
And one for stealth
One fore and hereafter in spiritual wealth
One in the fountain
One to make stars
None for those who people never chance far
Three to make jewels
And most dear grace
Nine for the man with the jar
And his painted remnant face

The Winged Man

2011-12-17T07:52:00.000-08:00

Heaven knows why but he saved us from the furnace
We mistreated his kind we stained his need to see

(chorus)
Heaven knows why
People will fly
Memories will die
The Winged Man he cried

Melting above he drew his energy from below
And seeing the sun he knew he had to go

(chorus)

-Can you hear the voices hear the voices around you
And the echo of the voices hear them too
Play on

Seething below the man was a wreck of invention
And we brought him down just like a crash landing

(chorus)

He was too far ahead for us here so he flew
Back to the sun where he's working on something new

(chorus)

'Bin Long

2011-12-17T07:47:00.000-08:00

It's been a long time since I been down with my friends
It's been a long time since I been down with them
(x2)

It's been a long time since I been down to the sea
It's been a long time since you been with me
(x2)

Here we are sat on this raft together
Yes blowing in the wind
Maybe westwards maybe eastwards
Maybe no place at all

Morning Blues

2011-12-17T07:31:00.000-08:00

Hello to you morning
Hello to you day
Spend the night in wondering
There where I lay
There where I lay
Without you beside me
I have to be alone
Want you back again oh babe
Don't let it show
Oh don't let it show

Goodbye night time's cowl
I'd wrapped myself in dark
When all the living moving things
I could hear and hark
I could hear and hark
But you were not among them
And so I sing this song
Want you back again oh babe
Don't let it be long
Oh don't let it be long

Just the way I feel tonight

2011-12-17T07:20:00.001-08:00

Either I'd been dreaming
Or I'd been sleeping something awful wierd
My head was humming
There was an ache in my ears
Somewhere a dog was howling and
It stuck it's head in the sand
Somewhow I wondered was it all worth while
Can you follow that strand?
Dee de dee
Da da dee do
Da da da
Dee doo
While you sit there lying
The rest of us lie here
Shitting it out
At least I suppose that's what we're meant to do
If you know what I mean
Somewhere another dog was howling
And it spat and cursed my name
Point to the reason and the central fact
If you follow that vein
So I walked out over sullen sour surroundings
Hoping somewhere there might be a clue
Almost a hero
Almoast alive
You take a bit
And fake alot more
Hold on to what you deplore
And if it's any consolation
There is no room for jubilation
And I don't know if I'm wrong or right
It's just the way I feel tonight

Around this fire

2011-12-17T07:13:00.001-08:00

We remember now
What lies in these atoms
What force of no seen
Has it's dimensions here
Hark a horn is blowing
It's notes follow us down
To this place where we are
And dream
Ourselves a Land
Where we would care to be
Where by methods strange we are met again
I remember you
No I don't know when we just know
Would you care to know?
Around this fire
Temple of happiness
Each rare each exquisite moment
Displays keys that only we can know
Now they dangle before our eyes

Whatever you are whatever you do

2011-12-17T06:16:00.000-08:00

Jacob T. Blackmore stood at the centre of the road
The dust from the Buick smarts him so he shifts his load
Suitcase held in his sweating right hand
He needs his quick left free to shield his eyes from the Sun
What had his clear Lady Mrs. B said that morning
Before his irrational hitch East?
High may you be, may you prosper
May a fair wind blow on your cheek

Who was that mystery face that I dreampt or hallucinated last night?
Jacob has been wondering about her alright
He knew it wasn't a fault seeing these things at all
It's just that once in every so often you get someone who can see visions
It's just that once in every so often a bit of bleeding heart breaks to diamond
What is so frequently jet black anger is what we have longed
Ancestral voices from the insane
Why is Jacob's mind totally flipped sideways again
Is it the cocaine?

Tired of wasting time his nose felt for another line
Jacob saught the powder white courtrooms of justice
There he knew he was alone
For his body made a groan
And all the people sitting round were no good
They'd already been sold to poor dealers
What does it take when you've got this far and you can't turn back
Keep your arch straight and your eye to the crack
Pay attention to what the wise earthworm says
You don't loose wisdom if you ain't got a head
Said the sparrow

As he sat on his pack rolling a joint in his lap
Jacob's mind transcends the dusty road where he's at
He could feel there was someone there
A voice that had got lost on the air
Someone saying ever so softly things that he just loved to hear
And you know what they say?
They say there'll be other days
Days have come and days have changed and days will come again
Your body and your feeling will soar past you soon
I am that Martian from the Disney cartoon
And I want you to listen to me

There she sat thin beautiful detatched
Her shining hair and long dark eyes were an eeiry match
He knew she'd been calling him
Could it be real would she let him in
Something so infinatly wise smiled in her charming ice blue eyes
And she said
Ah it's all right rest your aching head on my breasts tonight
You can't have me I am not of human kind
But you show me what you want to find
And I'll show you what you want to see

Jacob spent the night in martian arms
Which opened into many seas of calm colours in motion
He could feel her breathe was his own
Surely more people than that should have know
For the first time in his life a young hung up hitcher became the hero of himself
-And that's important
Don't be deceived by those who would tell you any thing
Deceived be don't by that which is you is you ain't who
And while you're wondering who young Jacob resembles
Spare a thought for us all we are ensemble

Whatever you are
Whatever you do
Do not worry
I am one too

Cunning and Tricks

2011-12-17T06:06:00.000-08:00

There was a train coming in to my borderlands
And it looked like it was pretty full
It was loaded with many crates much cargo
Through which I had to shift
And though it isn't really permitted
I'd of been thankful for some help
And I don't recall anyone laughing
And I don't recall
Looking you in the eye

Now the world of work
And partying
Opened up it's mouth to me
I took a look and spat out a tooth
Turned around so lonely
And I don't recall anyone laughing
And I don't recall
Looking you in the eye

Of the seven white knights
That I met on the road
Only one turned his head to me
He opened his mouth and the words just fell out
While he waved his sword in the air
But he spoke in rhymes and riddles
And I couldn't catch any he said
Just then a dove flew out from above
And I fainted there where i stood

Now it's a real hang
To have so many plans
But not the bullet to start with
I'll take my leave just as soon as I please
I just wish someone would understand
And I don't recall anyone laughing
And I don't recall
Looking you in the eye

We know you well

2011-12-17T05:55:00.000-08:00

I saw you dosing in your room last night
You thought you were racing but your face it was white
I'd like to make you but the wall's in the was
I'd like to take you but your drifting away
And we know you well
We know you well

Wise master sat at your desk in school
Who are you kidding?
Who's the fool
You like to push pens in the wisdome of your years
Don't you know yet that your mind is full of fears
And we know you well
We know you well

Wisdom of ages is there in your head
Would you use it or abuse it instead
**********research line************
Universe in your hand how does that make you feel?
And we know you well
We know you well

Finale

2011-12-15T05:29:00.000-08:00

When we were young
We saw the faces
And friends from the stars
Built the Earthworks with us
And energy ran through
The Earth's sacred surface
Messages ran from star to star

Aaah!

All you can see
All you can be
All that is now
All that's to come
And all that means something
All that's inside
All that you covet
All that you hide

Aaah!

Born

2011-12-15T05:27:00.001-08:00

Can she be?
Can she see?
Saintly lady by the water
Feintly feiry Fisher's daughter

And you see
Nothing is as it is
Nothing is as it ought to be
And you see
It's back to where we began
Back so far you're out in front again
It's time

Born you were meant to be
Born into the family

Skipjack Lad

2011-12-15T05:19:00.001-08:00

Skipjack Lad who are you
With your ice blue eyes and teeth so new
You're everything to me you're a fish
And you're out of sight

You hold your own when the storm's fierce around you
Yes you hold your own in the storm
You're pretty neat you hold your own

You don't need strings to hold you up
You got everything in a brown paper cup
You're ok

Curly blonde hair and a floppy straw hat
We all know why we call you that
And you know

Step back like an ammonite
You make the whole family up tight
When they're in making arguaments
Your out
Fishing in your mind
As you say it's all in the mind

Pieces of eight have been falling of late
Onto your head or off rooves as slate
You're not sure what to make of it, are you

The people you know all say be yourself
But they're only themselves when it's going well for them
Oh yes, you think of motes and planks don't you

Your world is in a box and from that box
Comes lots and lots of noise
Lots of noise and no toys

You missed the bus, this you know
But then there was no bus to show
Was there? Nope!

Skipjack lad
Are you ever coming back?
Skipjack lad
Ooh

Shaman's Blues

2011-12-15T05:11:00.000-08:00

Don't you ever wonder
Don't you ever Feel
Don't you ever look into the dark night
Wondering what it might be
Wondering what it might be

Snake he round your waist
Sweat upon your brow
Dionysis is moving
And we all know how
We all know how

Shaman's blues
Alright!

We had to go through it
Maybe we saw misty
You brought so much about
Electric shaman man
Electric shaman man

Cosmos in your head
Lifetime in a dream
Spirits they watch you
Revolution man
Evolution of man
Woh woh woh!

You're comin' in (Don't think all words here yet)

2011-12-15T05:04:00.000-08:00

Can you see me make out my form
You can see my body but you can't see me at all
Whispering winds on the outreach
Say that you're on the make
Are you comin' in?

Julie was seventeen
But her mind had gone out for tea
She did'nt want to spare the time
But she found she couldn't draw the line
She spent nights and nights wondering
About an old stoned world
But now she's free
And she's comin' in

Walking with no shoes on
Some say it's a sin
Often as not it's raining
But it's all right you can come in
You'll find what you thought was murky dark mires
Is really a pillar to help you climb higher
Are you coming in?

And it's a long long slide
Down the rainbow bridge
But we can get there by sundown
If you want to go

The Sidewalk Song

2011-12-15T04:59:00.001-08:00

Well I don't care what you're wearing
I don't give a damn
But tell me where you 'bin boy
'Cos I don't know who I am*
Am the sun don't shine for you
It shines for me

(repeat)
Note
* Second time line reads
''Cos I'm lost in strawberry jam'

It's a Blue Sky don't hold no Rain

2011-12-15T04:49:00.000-08:00

We came across some bones of men
Scattered in the rust
So many good souls turned to dust
Within these shattered husks
And these people had worn jewels
And their heads had been held high
Speckled foreheads touched the sky
Behold the sparkling in their eyes

Don't you know it's a blue sky don't hold no rain
Don't hold your love in vain
'Cos we've still got some loving to do

Some time ago the white man came
Bringing bible, books and sword
Bound them up in twining cords
In the name of their great Lord
They slew down the Aztec, Inca, Ibu, Masai
Now we hide in concrete lies
To my Mammon side I cry

What have we done
To the Mother Goddess Gaia?
Why can't we nessle in her
Warm aching bosom?

Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain
Just a little drop of rain
Come bless this land again
(repeat x3)

Now the world's a spinning ball
Two thirds with none to eat
So while we chew our scrawny meat
Can you hear those big bells bleat?

What have we done to
The Mother Goddess Gaia
Why can't we nessle
In her warm aching bosom

Rocksteady Boat

2011-12-13T03:07:00.000-08:00

If you have lost what you had gained
Was there something found when you made that change?
Sea of sorrow is deep and wide
No one gets to the other side
Compass broke but we got the stars
God willing we'll get that far

Sea of rage and sea of pain
Stormy seas, thunder lightening and rain
Smell the salt like I smell the fear
Ain't no homely place that's near
I sang my song until I cried
When no one sung me a lullaby

(Chorus x 1)

Dippin' in the waves up upon the prow
I got here only God knows how
Ship's company is the ship of fools*
I only hope that they thought this through
Cutting up the main like a crystal knife
Sailing for love through the day and night

(Chorus)
It's a rock, rocksteady boat
See you coming, the only thing left afloat
When all else was floundering, you stayed upright
When all else was beneath the waves you sailed through the night
And you are sailing to me across the shining sea

(repeat)

*Toying with the line being

'Ship's company are the eponymous fools'

But by my using a clever word in order to not use same word twice, we might miss out on
the alliteration and rhyming advantages in matching 'ship' with itself.

Vision

2011-12-05T05:39:00.000-08:00

There is a sound which has no ring at all
There are some times when sorrows are filled with joy
Earth and sky, one human cry
Wrent from throat of mine

And what of this sound that quakes vibrations none
The silent voice which echoes and then is done
And what words strike strange chords
Speaking in heart of mine

We had made a secret vow
And now it comes to light

Around the sun were gliding the angels of light
Beneath the Earth prayed denizens jewelled might
Take this gem, here and then
Never here at all

I came to my senses a-lying on the grass
Discovering through Heaven's dark I had passed
Sand and sea, mystery
Ebbing in eye of mine

Meaness City

2011-12-05T05:30:00.001-08:00

Meaness City ain't gonna take it
Meaness City
meaness City ain't gonna take it
Meaness City
Ain't gonna take it
Ain't gonna take it
Ain't gonna take it
Now

Hitch down the road in an old Ford truck
To the heart of Meaness City
Where the Shepherd meets with Lady Luck
And finds sadness and whores and pity

And eventually he's dragged down there with 'em
'Cos he just didn't know the right people
That's the way it goes in the number one hole
That's the norm in Meaness City

Wild wild wild living
Child child child your'e sinning
Wild wild wild women
Children of the night assemble
Master's calling you together now!

Meaness City
Meaness City
etc.

Wanted to be a Singer (1982)

2011-12-05T05:25:00.000-08:00

Wanted to be a singer
In a rock and roll band
Back home where my Zodiac lay
Wanted everyone to follow in my footsteps
See like me and be a part of my creation
Wanted the whole Universe to follow
Especially my guitar and room to practice in
Wanted everything so shiny
With respects to you

Ooh I've wondered
Ooh I've wondered
Ooh I have wondered
Just what's going on

And she breaks like a little child

Summer '83

2011-12-05T05:19:00.000-08:00

Did you ever get around
Smoking posies in the round?
Did you ever get to see
The Rainbow effect left on me?

De da doo doo
De da doo doo
De da dee

Can we see?
Can we be?
Do we always have to sit
In this uncomfortable position?
Is it more than we could ask for?
I don't know I'll ask my Ma.

Will we ever get out of here?
Will we ever see the same old faces?
Will we ever finish our mission
To the Sun?

Lady Eirie

2011-12-05T02:59:00.000-08:00

Lady Eirie
Lady Eirie
You were here long before we were
Stars and suns your birth
Flowers form from your astral trail
You are one you are us and what is more
You are the Earth
You were here long before
Man and his bombs

Come around
Come around
The seasons turn into one
Life is more than this
Life is more that television
More than this
More than international tension
Step in from the outroads
You're coming in on us now

Indian Summer
Indian Summer
Won't you take me home
When the sun comes shining
Many a bright tommorow
Won't you take me home

Headed for a fall (1984)

2011-12-05T02:39:00.001-08:00

If you should go down to Glastonbury Town
Beware Lady. Beware
There's folks an times and things going on
Would make sounds of old horns blown again

What was that sound of old horns you might say?
There the sound of a new dawn sounding in the new day
That's today what did I say
that's today not tommorow.

When you were out walking late on the road
On your own in the dark
You imagined there was a stranger behind
You didn't hear him
He didn't talk

What was that sound, did your mind just play a trick?
Was that the sound of death's trigger go click

Was that you dying, there on the cross?
Was that you crying, what was the loss?

Tightropes and demons at midnight
Your mind's a dark claw I know
We must just get ourselves together a moment
Or are we headed for a fall?

Silver Ships on the Sea (1984)

2011-12-05T02:26:00.000-08:00

Winter's call is calling
Through the leaves
You can hear the russling sounds saying
Free me please
Said the seventh angel standing
Amid the trees
Please come taste our simple wines
Please come to your rest

All along the stone strewn causeway
Serpents coil and hiss
Beckoning and whispering
Bowing for the kiss

Come down to the sea
At dawn with me
Our boat is a bobbing and a rocking on the waves
How is it you look at me, is it how I you?
Are we agreed on our journeys being long due?

And so the end
Was only the beginning
I rose to catch the sun
But found it missing
Lonliness oh loneliness
My only guide
A boat a-bobbing
Way out on the tide

Distanced recognition (1981 or 2)

2011-12-05T02:21:00.000-08:00

I got a distanced recognition
Of a girl that you might know
I've got a permanent erection
I hope it doesn't show

Ooh-ee Moma, someone's on my tail
She's got everything that looks good on her
Boy I could take that girl

The Lecher

2011-12-05T02:19:00.000-08:00

Lecher moves his fingers creeping
Greezy mind and eyes like fire
Don't you just want to know him?
Really I don't think you want to try

Grooving on down the highway

2011-12-05T02:16:00.000-08:00

Grooving on down the highway
I really did'nt want to know
When four square tons of groceries
Appeared there in the road

Wham bam thankyou Mam
Federal State Interjam
Waiting for an hour or two
Got to find my way to the other side of here

Montsegur

2011-11-07T05:26:00.000-08:00

Chateau sur le haut roche dans le departement d'Aude. Tellement vieux et delabre. Tellement plein de contes. Combien de gens a vie et la mort dedans ces murs et l'environs? Et qu'est ce que le mystere qu'impregner le paysans de Cathare?

Je suis un mystere
Je suis le histoire
Je suis le conte cache
De Cathares en Languedoc

Le grande roya jusquele forteresse de Montsegur etait assieger pour dix moins par l'armee dans le paie du Pope et l'Eglise Catholique.
L'objectif du Vatican etait detruire les derniere gens qui croient pas le doctrine de l'Eglise ce Jesus a mort sur le croix pour notre peche; et plutot, crachient sur le croix et paients pas de taxe.

Je suis un mystere
Je suis le histiore
Je suis le conte cache
De Cathares en Languedoc

J'ai entendu un histoire curieux qui passe juste en avant de le capitulation et tombe de Montsegur.
Quatre hommes Cathares echappents par faitents descendre avec les cordes longues, centaines et centaines de metres en bas le visage verticalement de leur Montagne.
Ils echapperents avec quelque chose peut etre mysteriouse, certainement inconnu, un tresor avec sufit d'importance tenir dans le chateau jusque le derniere moment possible.
Nous connaisons que il etait le temp du l'equinox du Printemps et les Cathares a arrange un deux semaine treve. Au fin de cet treve, ils faisients un celebration festive, probablement compris d'un rituel puissant.
Besion, le chaque jour, les reste de les defenseur ne pas se retracter et etaients arracher dedans le piste de la falaise et etaients bruler au font de la Montagne.

Je suis un mystere
Je suis le histoire
Je suis le conte cache
De Cathares en Languedoc

Qui etaients les gens perdus dans cet genocide Albigensian de Languedoc?
Personne connaits vraiment, mais ils habitents avec un culture floriture et hautement. Ils y a plein de poesy, philosophie, tolerance religieux et les principles de l'amour de la Court.
Donc, pouquoi ce le Pope etait pretendre a dit "Tuer les toutes, Deu recogni son memes"?

Dead Dog Blues

2011-11-07T05:21:00.000-08:00

Dead dog
Dead dog lying in the road
Dead dog
Dead dog lying in the road
You know I love that doggie
Ooh Lord goodness knows

So sad
Won't hear your bark no more
So sad
Won't hear your bark no more
I buried your bones
Right outside my door

So long
So long but you're not gone
So long Johnnie
So long but you're not gone
Got your skeliton, Johnnie
Tattooed on my arm

Bucharech

2011-11-07T05:14:00.000-08:00

(Chorus)

Bucharech, mountain of peace
Bucharech, wonderous peak

(Sing all verses twice through)

How high the sky?
How deep the sea?

Sacred forms inside the stone
Patterns of beyond are shown

Lightning flashes all around
Electrical magnetic mound

Listen when ancestors teach
At Bucharech their spirits reach

Climb the mount and turn the key
Activate the mystery

How high the sky?
How deep the sea?

By my name you shall know me

2011-10-20T01:46:00.000-07:00

Sure footed were our steeds at the Battle of the Trees
I am Math of Mathonwey son of Amaethon if you please
I fought the King of Annwn to steal his Roe and Hound
I taught magic to Gwydion who guessed the name of Bran

By my name you shall know me
You shall know me by my name

My people were the people of the Goddess named Danu
The Tuatha de Danaan warriors brave and true
Bronze age Pelasgians expelled from ancient Greece
Who found themselves in Ireland though their numbers had increased

Gwydian is my brother my father's name is Don
Danu is our mother the Goddess three in one
At this battle of Cad Goddeu we won the secret name
Past Cerebus the three head dog he who guards the gate

I was first boy Gwion told to stir the cauldron
A potion for Afagddu him intelligent to make
He was the son of Ceredwin the sow Goddess I fear
Three hot drops got on my tongue I got right out of there

She chased me as a greyhound when I fled fleet as a hare
Salmon in the stream I became she as Otter followed me there
I shot up as a Wren as a Hawk she closed on me
So I became a grain of wheat very foolishly

An odd grain in her farmyard she as chicken ate me down
And there in her belly I did grow 'til nine months it came round
Twice-born and by Elphin found I made the court bards burble
I Taliesin shining brow outshone them as a child

I have been in an uneasy chair above the Spiral Castle
That Arthur raided drunkedly from where came back but seven
I have been at Glastonbury with Gwyn and his red eared mastiffs
My head spoke from Tower Hill 'til Arthur put his there

Crow-God am I and my sister's name is Bronwen
I was a King-Hero in England Wales and Ireland
I met Mananan on the ocean with his Crane-Bag full of letters
Then sailed to Electric Lady Island to make me feel better

I knew Fionn McColl who sucked his thumb in wonder
Adventurous son of a Hazel-God you see he was able
Glittering sprigs of Alder I bear on my shield and in my hand
So it was quick witted Gwydion knew my name was Bran

Nothin' at All

2011-10-16T03:34:00.000-07:00

When I went a-walking in the early morning light
I spied my own true love
She was a-walking in a pretty little dress
Looking like a turtle dove
Looked in my pockets, what did I see, not much there at all
It's lucky for me she likes my songs
'Cos I ain't got so much more

I ain't got nothing
Ain't got nothing at all
I ain't got nothing
But I ain't got so far to fall

He ain't got nothing
He nearly got nothing at all
He ain't got nothing
But he aint got far to fall

So I buttoned my hair and I combed my shirt
Feeling like a total misfit
She pierced me down right through the soul
I thought that I might have missed it
But then she smiled with that look in her eye
And it turned my mind around
I said a quick prayer for the welfare state
'Cos I almost got nothing at all

Chorus

Papa keep on trucking, man that is jam hot
Papa keep on trucking, give it all you got
When the cards are down you'e the one around
Sneaking around midnight when no one's around
Papa keep on trucking, man that is jam hot

Walking with my baby all down that ancient way
Walking with my baby, Lord come what may
You know that I love you true
Even though it's hard and there's much to do
Walking with my baby all down that ancient way

Come on Grandma, let's go round the bend
Come on Grandma, we'll make it in the end
It's up to us on the magic bus
Made to please on the flying trapese

So all you gentle good people running round
With your cheque books in your hand
Who pays the bill when the money you made
Is chewing up all of this land
I nearly got nothing, not much at all
But I don't sell my soul when I earn
'Cos when I fall, I don't fall far
And I won't crash and burn

I ain't got nothing...

Ex from Hell

2011-10-16T03:26:00.000-07:00

Ex from Hell, Ex from Hell
I just got a letter from an Ex from Hell
Ex from Hell, she wants to tell me
Again and again, what a wanker I've been

Speaking as a tosser and a wanker and a twat
I thought I'd taint your ears and tell you that
An Ex from Hell is never out to please
But never never go down on your knees

Ten good years it was ago
But some things move very slow
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Make your head rattle make your guts tight

Ex from Hell I owe her cash
It was my mistake I was acting rash
Ex from Hell she stuck her nails in me
Did I truly cause her all this misery?

Ex from Hell I got to pay her back
Take your money Princess from a Pauper Rat
I'm sitting on the shitter writing this song to you
Ex from Hell, what else do you think I'd do?

Flashing Before My Eyes

2011-10-16T03:06:00.000-07:00

Of all the people I have known
All the situations life has shown
Of all the times I couldn't even cry
Of all the nagging questions asking me why
I see them all flash before my eyes
All of the emotions take off their disguise
And leave me floating on my own
In the place that only I have known
And I'm not proud and I'm not wise
I'm just waiting for the sunrise

I am not disempowered
Though I never felt too secure
I can see the jelly in the hard ones
And I know there is a cure
But I'm lying here in a haze
My mind is moving inside my own maze
And this labyrinthe is the film of my own life
And I may not be the type
But when my power comes I'll take up and fly
But now I'm waiting on the sunrise

Oh Lord I don't know if I can make it
Oh Lord hoiw long is it taking?

I'm shaking with it now
And the memories are very powerful
Friends have come and gone and some have turned to dust
They say do what you can do, they say do what you must
And I fragmentize as I gaze into the past
The future's a kaleidescope changing very fast
Faces I have known, faces to appear
I'm seeking for a guidance vision speaking very clear
And as I'm whirling round this Universe, much to my surprise
It's a beautiful sunrise
(Even on a rainy day
Even with clouds in the way)

The Apple of God

2011-05-13T11:13:00.000-07:00

Once inside a garden God put a seed into the ground
He nurtured it with rain and sun the whole year round
This garden was a hilltop, there grew an apple tree
It's fruit was very succulent, it was God's industry

And God saw the apple was good for men
And as the years turned the apples grew again
The apples grew a plenty there was enough to go round
As more apple trees grew when the fruit fell to the ground

God saw for many years that man was well supplied
Yet man was rather greedy and never satisfied
In an orchard paradise we felt we needed more
And so it was that man first conspired to make a war

To bring the war machines to life we chopped down many trees
And when we made destruction well some of us were pleased
And some were not so pleased and some were even less
And some were not pleased at all as you might well have guessed

I walked along my special path unto my sacred tree
That apple tree that fed me when Autumn turned Wintery
I saw one apple left on the tree, one apple was all I did see
Old Bill Blake was sitting there and I sat down by he

"How the world has changed", said he "Since In wrote my poetry"
"Yes you saw it all" I said and to this he could but agree
Just then the war-machine rolled up to our spot
And Bill jumped up and we jumped on and gave it all we'd got

God cut in a lightening bolt but little more could do
And Bill and I felt we had bitten off more than we could chew
A brilliant flash, a resounding crash and we were almost gone
But the tree stood strong and it's earthly fruit shone

Then we spied on the horizon a truly dread filled sight
Legion machines of corporate might
Uranium powered with searchlights on top
Satanic mills that began to chop

All that was left after the atomic blast
Was a small sector of heaven, mostly hell burning fast
The apple of God was resting on the hill
And an eschaton cloud was moving in for the kill

I looked at the apple and suddenly knew
That all the fears I had had they were true
So I grasped the apple and planted it's seed
For it was now that we were most truly in need

And what happens next I shall leave to you
For it's only a song and it might not be true
As I speak from the future then this is a clue
Should the seed grow then we shall grow too

THERE IS AN APPLE IN THE ORCHARD OF THE EARTH
THERE IS AN APPLE IN THE ORCHARD OF THE EARTH
THOUGH IT'S NOT MADE OF GOLD
THE APPLE HAS BEEN SOLD
HOW MANY PEOPLE KNOW THAT APPLE'S WORTH?
HOW MANY PEOPLE KNOW THAT APPLE'S WORTH?

Come forth all ye Bards

2011-04-16T12:18:00.000-07:00

Come forth now all ye Bards
With truth against the world
Of mendacious lies of those
Who have turned and coiled
With venom to ensorcel men
To be less than who we are
Come forth now all ye Bards
Come forth all ye Bards

Come forth now all ye Bards
The danger is extreem
The limit is exceeded
The chalice is unclean
Men have truly lost their way
Poisoned are the trees
Come forth now all ye Bards
Cause blind minds to see

Come forth now all ye Bards
And wreathe us all in love
Of poetry that is not words
And does neither push nor shove
Itself to recognition
In the hearts of all
Come forth now all ye Bards
Lest we truly fall

Come forth now all ye Bards
Or give machines control
And cancer spread like a contagious wind
Smothering our souls
There is nothing for it
We have to play our roles
Come forth now all ye Bards
And let our tale unfold

Come forth now all ye Bards
And let us be unsprung
Let our tensions be let out
Let our song be sung
There are good and bad amongst us
Each a piece of the whole
Come forth now all ye Bards
And let the good times roll

(repeat first voice)

The Ruins of Cezerans

2011-03-28T01:22:00.000-07:00

Broken stone testaments to lives lived up here before
Quite simply put the men were called up for the war
With the lure of the city money, the hardship of the land
This village became deserted now it's houses barely stand

Broken roofs, moss covered, fallen walls in thorny briars
Tall trees have crashed down upon where once were family fires
A sense of melancholy, a bitter taste of loss
Neon lights invited but what was the true cost?

Oh, the Ruins of Cezerans
Oh, the Ruins of Cezerans

The winter times in the mountains were known to be severe
Bears and Wolves were still around which brought it's own weight of fears
People worked the sunlight hours, their only food came from the land
Turnip soup with nettles and no electricity's helping hand

Taxed by distant ministries, oppression stories rich feeding on poor
Their animals, land and dwellings were what these families lived for
I recall their times to live again in rhyme
Wonder at their tenacity, would have loved to have shared their wine

Oh, the Ruins of Cezerens
Oh, the Ruins of Cezerans

I touch the crafted masonry and silent spirits move
Cobwebs of a former time that instil a sombre mood
Yet I also see them joyous when harvest time did bring
Food for all their children, I can almost hear their voices sing

But a persistant state of misery a sad and stifled pain
Hangs here in the forest, comes once again like rain
If I could lift that sorrow like I lift this stone
Build from all our yesterdays a way that is worth going

Oh, the Ruins of Cezerans
Oh, the Ruins of Cezerans

!!Calling Captain Okano!!

2011-03-28T00:48:00.000-07:00

A Pok O' Lips was born at 20:12
That's twelve past eight in the evening
We scattered my Mother as Fukushima blew
March the Tenth in the morning (English Time)

Sunspots pulled the magma beneath the
Techtonic plates in the Pacific
We saw the tsunami on the TV and
It looked really horrific

Are we looking through a bleak portal of doom?
At a radio-active future?
Is technology really killing us
Or will we do something new yeah?

Planet Earth is hurtling back in time
Back to the womb she was born in
Got to get in rhythm with the mighty cosmic core
We're heading straight into a strange old door!

Over the oceans between us
Centre on sending a prayer of love
A transformative solution

(CHORUS)

Captain Okano I believe you

Wolftrap

2011-03-28T00:36:00.000-07:00

Up on the hill there's still a wolftrap
Sheep in a deep hole, Wolf he jump right in
He can't get out and they stick him with spears and arrows
That's the way to deal with him

Chorus:(between each stanza)

Wolfman calling from a primaeval view
Wolfman is howling inside of you

Wolf is fear, Wolf is danger
Wolf will kill you in the middle of the night
But there's another side to the story
Wolf has his own sense of what is right

Deep in mythic story telling
Wolf is going to gobble you up
But there are people who have mingled
Wolves can accept you if you smell like them

If they get our scent of blood
Then we are his meat my friend believe me
If spilling blood is is our daily thing then
We had better watch out or we will be their tea

Wolves can keep you safe from danger
They very clever they could save your skin
They love their family, Wolves are loyal but you
Gotta be careful who eats which bit of meat!

Up on the hill there's still a Wolftrap
Sheep in a deep hole and he jump right in
He can't get out and they stuck him with spears and arrows
Is that the way to deal with him?

Poison in the Water

2011-03-12T15:30:00.000-08:00

Back down the corridor of power
There echoes that ghostly hour
When atomic technology came to this land
Flouride it was used, the essential key
To process the elements
Uranium to Plutonium
For bombs you see

And so the plot was complete and not withstanding hazards
Radiation came in a second rung to flouride's toxic challenge

No one knew what it did so tests were arranged
On unsuspecting citizens of Newburg, New York State

The authorities must have been pleased they kept a secret file
And to allay people's fears they gave them another picture
They said 'essential nutrient', it's so good for your health
You need it in the water, which we will do forthwith

chorus
But what was it that was hid was someone telling lies?
Though people raised their voice to ask they were vilified
The tests they were arranged and certain people paid
It seems that these tests have been going on for decades

Now it is declassified which means we get to know
And it seems someone's motives were stooping very low
They said it was so good for you but that was not the truth
Your teeth fall out your bones just rot
And all with scientific proof

It's poison fumes a toxic waste a corrosive rat-killer
It accumulates slow so tyou don't know
It's bad for brains and livers

The list goes on and on and on but nearly noone knows
And as there's been a cover-up I hope that it's exposed

chorus

So our trust turns to rust
This we must
Tell our sons
Tell our daughters
There's poison in the water

The nuclear dawn has spawned such a deadly tide
But what shall we do, keep it all inside?
Or sing and dance and act about
Those who lost their teeth
Or children who grow up with bones as brittle sticks
Deformed by toxins in the things we eat and drink
Shall we survive if we accept the lies of this deceit

It may seem stark it may seem mad and that there's no good news
But we can make the world we want only if we choose
Whatever is the cost what could be the regret
To try and live our lives to clean up this hateful mess

And even now respectable responsible people in power
The ones we have grown up to trust keep this flouride myth alive
It's doctors, dentists . statesmen, the ones in the know
Don't ask me why but they conspire to put flouride in the flow
And at what cost this act who do they think they are
If this is good authority then maybe they can go
Because if you poison the people, you'll make them very made
Do we accept docility or decide that we've been had

But that's not all
That was many years ago

Nowadays we get the scrapings from the chimneys
The carbon phosphate fertiliser industry
And this is what kind of flouride that gets to us today

And is it all for the sake of little children's dental care
I think not it is put there to dull and tame our brains
Just think of the e-numbers even you know aspartame is bad
Just think of all the industry making bucks off our complacency
But I know we are the healers I tell you the truth

So if there's any truth in this then maybe someone knows
And if there's been a cover-up then let's make sure that it's exposed

Flouride in the water
Poison in the water

Grass Song

2011-03-11T12:16:00.000-08:00

If you are a poor boy and you got no place to go
I'll show you more things than you'll ever know
If you are a poor girl and you got no friends at all
I'll give you more friends than you'll ever know
All I ask is that our love begins to grow
Answer is that there's no problem at all

Young girl in the field and she's looking for some grass
To feed her guinea, her guinea pig
Ain't she like that lady in the poem we did back at school
Lady Oenone, that was her name
She had a love but like leaves he blew away
Could have saved Paris anytime but years of sufforing held her right at bay
Golden Apples what you say, better leave it till another day
Greed and need for the wrong things don't make it anyway my way

That it was an accident made it no easier for either his or her own parents
He in youth's unseasoned freedom saw not what they were on about
Because he'd mistrusted her
He'd only lusted her anyway
Silver bracelets on the shelf the nails he had knocked into himself
Beware beware was what he said, I watched the disease grow in his head

To you whom I sing this song outloud and for you whom it may concern
It's not that it's always so good but that it's always as it should be
Mirrors to our lives are shining high above our sheltered selves
I can't show you how to live your lives, only you can tell.

this song was written in the first half of 1984, after mesmerising myself with the guitar motif looking out of my parents window at Round Ball Hill in Honiton Devon. It is referring quite loosley to events going around me. The voice in the first verse was never supposed to be me speaking as me. On consideration now, it is the song itself that claims to bestow the gifts of wisdom and friendship.

Andrew Treneere Harvey

2011-02-20T03:24:00.000-08:00

What is that gurt thumping noise?
It's his boots a-stomping
I met him down in St Austell
When we were more young

He taught me my first Irish songs
And usually did the singing
I was learning mandolin
Did more my own songs

chorus:
Clad in black and don't look back
Playing on the banjo
Nor money nor honey does he lack
Andrew Treneere Harvey

I joined in his busking troupe
The Thieving Gypsy Bastards
With Peet Coombes God rest his soul
I hope he hears this song

Not seen Andy in so long
Wonder what he's doing
Liam says he taught him songs
And also called him Bard

He took the piss out of me
For my drama study
Andy would never enrol
Saying you don't need it

I learnt lots there but think that too
It's called autodydactic
Teaching yourself
Is a way of keeping hold of your brain

chorus:
He'll get a heaving rhythm going
Banging with his feet-o
His lyrics picked for mind blowing
If your ears can hear

As well as the street busking
There was skipping too
On Old Truro Road
We had our abode

chorus:

Could you call him inventive?
Would he accept creative?
Writing backwards fluidly
Is really quite a skill

Once I dreamed a dream
Of his milliput figurines
There is much more I could say
But I'll leave him a mystery

chorus:

...Andrew doesnt know that I wrote this yet, I hope he doesnt mind.

You are the Key

2010-12-25T02:02:00.000-08:00

Whoever you want to be
Whatever you want to see around you
It's all made in the crucible of you
In the eye of your eye where you reside

Wherever you want to go
Whenever you want to know something badly enough
Why ever do we cry?
It's all made of you
And it wants to come through
You are the Key

Authorities are slime when they tax upon your time
But something more sublime is hidden deep inside
And all the while you were waiting waiting waiting
Don't you wait any longer

It seems like a mystery
People always sufforing never free, from constraints around them
But your circumstance surrounds the basic fact
Of you yes you, you are the Key

So you started on
A road where you belong, truly
That may be short or long
But my friend you'll make it in the end and on the way you'll find

...that (repeat first 2 verses and finish)

To what Primal Power

2010-12-21T03:32:00.000-08:00

To what Primal Power do I owe my dues?
'Tis the Power of the mystic tri-Goddess so true
Of the Maiden Mother Crone modern times it little knows
Yet she was the original theme of poetry
Her troubadours opening for to see the Matrix
Not the celluloid one
That links us up where we come from
Kings and Queens and Bards in People
From the place where all is equal
And who though wars now rend us apart
Is still the lone subject of this art.
Bequeather of Kings behind all things
Enveloping all in her charms of ice and fire
Elusive ever present earth mother Gaia
Knower of men's minds
Bestower well inclined to nurture and to chide
Hear her call inside your ear
No fear is so opaque as to obcure her
There is no cure for her love
She will get you eventually
Though you may reject her
Have no names for her
Or only those to revile
She all the while
Made you from clay
Gave you life and days
Raised you
Played with you
With some horn-led consort tangled and met
Till this world was set
Now you can't forget
She spoke in the ear of those Dragon Kings of old
And so this story will unfold

Par la douceur

feuillent les bois et les oiseaux
chantent chacun dans son latin
suivant le vers d'un nouveau chant
il est donc juste que l'on se rejoussie
de ce dont on a le plus envie

De la-bas ou est toute ma joie
je ne vois venir ni messager ni kettre scellee
car je ne dors ni ne ris
et je n'ose m'avancer
jusqu'a ce que je connaisse bein la finalite
si elle est telle que je la desire

Ainsi va t-il de notre amour
comme de la branche d'aubepine
qui la nuit sur l'arbuste tremble
a la pluie et au gel
jusqu'a a ce que le lendmain le soleil se repande
dans les fueilles vertes sur le rameau

Il me souvient encore d'un matin
ou nous avons mis fin a la guerre
ou elle m'a accorde un don si grande
son amour charnel et son anneau
que Dieu me laisse encore vivre assez
pour que j'aie mes mains sous son manteau

Car je me soucie peu de l'etrange latin
qui pourtait m'eloigner de mon Bon Voisin
et je sais trop comment vont les paroles
qui eclosent avec(dans) un bref discours
il y en a qui se vantent d'amour
mais nous, nous avons la piece et le couteau

Guilhem de Peiteus 1071-1126
Grandfather to Eleanor of Aquitaine and
called the first known troubadour

Newbury and Beyond

2010-12-20T01:54:00.000-08:00

Solsbury Hill and Twyford Down
Eco war on sacred ground
It moved on to Newbury
Nine miles of road building insanity

No one can deny it
For it was on TV
Harness held or not
High up in a tree
Eco warriors out on a limb
While the corporation chainsaws made a din

Saying you must not cut down this glade
Make no tiny cut with your murdering blades
We will defend these trees
With our bodies and our minds held up high in the leaves
And tunneling down deep into the ground
Give your Sheriff's men the run-around
Security cordons plenty of police
Giving orders their consciences asleep

I know it is sad to say
But Camelot itself fell one day
Not before Albion's warriors
Made Newbury's Third Battle a legendary lay

TV put he pictures in front of people's eyes
Could we be becoming totally urbanised?
Lyminge Forest Sella open cast mine
Fairmile Trollheim and the Ladies Nine

Saying you shall not chop down these trees
We shall protect against your Mother murdering deeds
And the Third Battle of Newbury
Three minutes less for nine miles of ancient trees
One hundred thousand cherry pickers
Would not bring us down off our perch
'Cos news of all these road protests
Has been broadcast all around the cities and the towns

There is now a much greater neon orange glow
From Clairmont Road down to Ireland's County Wicklow
Thanks to types like the Dongas and the Flowerpots
Maybe the future can be green again
Canbury Garden Poplars Watley Quarry and Oxleas Wood
From Scotland down to Brighton there were people who were good
They came down to protest sites and did what they could

A nineteen screen multiplex cinema was a little bit too much
Crystal Palace was won by the people and the trees were never cut
It culminated an era just before the millenium
Even Ali G on the TV was at our eviction
All of this was back in the ninetees before the towers fell

Saying you shall not chop down these trees
We shall protect against your Mother murdering deeds
And the Third Battle of Newbury
Three minutes less for nine miles of ancient trees
One hundred thousand cherrypickers
Could not bring us down off our perch
'Cos news of all these road protests have been broadcast
All around let's hear it for a no pollution Newbury and Beyond

Twyford Down

2010-12-19T10:55:00.000-08:00

We came from far
All round the globe
To Twyford Down
To stop a road
Through special site
Of ancient light
Winchester College
Sold off the rights

So was built a site
In path of the road
Where Dongas Tribe lived
In bent hazel domes
Going out on actions
Tarmac reaction
And for the contractors
It did their heads in

Ah ah ah
That was Twyford Down

It was a wet cold Yellow Wednesday
When luminous jackets made the first cutting
And there was pain and there was crying
People thought the earth was dying
Fourth day of July
Mass trespass day
Hundreds of people
All in the way
Or clambering up on the bailly bridge
Clanging it boldly with chaos sticks
Then there was digger diving
Which is conniving
To jump on the 'dozers
Till work was over
D-locked under the wheels
Of their earth-raping steel
To stop the contractors
There were many factors

Ah ah ah
That was Twyford Down

A Great Conjunction
Was in the sky
Woa but it wasn't
The reason why
It was the people
Who were outraged
At all the tricks
That had been played
To build the road
Against the will
Of common people
For money made
It was enough
Enough enough
But still the D.O.T.
Made the cut
And so began
This first eco-war
And after Twyford
There were many more
There were many more
There were many more

Ah ah ah
That was Twyford Down
Ah ah ah
That was Twyford Down
Ah ah ah
That was Twyford Down

Battered and Blue

2010-12-19T08:39:00.000-08:00

Some give pleasure others pain
Most'll leave you some time in the rain
Some bring trouble some just annoy
Most give candy one or two bring joy

Now some take screwballs some drink wine
I smoke grass most of the time
Don't change the situation just turns it around
Like Jeckell and Hyde running all over town

Hey hey hey what can I say
I really do not feel so good today
Me oh my what can I do
I'm tattered and battered and blue for you

I knew a girl I met in a zoo
She played crazy golf in goodbye shoes
I knew a girl she was cool
Saw her last by the swimming pool

I won't tell you much just the basic facts
We built our house on a railroad track
When we heard the clicketty-clack
She ripped my shirt and didn't look back

Hey hey hey what can I say
I really do not feel so good today
Me oh my what can I do?
I'm tattered and battered and blue for you

Some give pleasure others pain
Most'll leave you some time in the rain
Some bring trouble some just annoy
Most bring candy one or two give joy

Hey hey hey what can I say
I'm gonna do my best to feel better today
Me oh my what can I do
I tattered and battered and blue for you

My body's aching and it ain't faking
When it finally buckled I didn't chuckle
In the final end there was just us friends
And a guy called Death who was playing requests

My oh my!

Hey hey hey whay can I say
I really gonna do my best to feel better today
Me oh my what can I do
I'm tattered and battered and blue for you
I'm tattered and battered and blue for you

Terror Machine

2010-12-19T07:56:00.000-08:00

Woa terror machine
You know what I mean
Woa terror machine
Oh-a ya gonna know what I mean

It's the work of government administration
Let's just call it information sedation
Keep it all hid keeps on the lid
Of what is really going on

You heard the news about the terrorists
Though evidently no evidence fits
They got Arabic scapegoats as decoys
And they're treating them like shit

It's a bomb on the bus it's a man in the crowd
It ain't what it seems but don't talk too loud
The man on the TV is talking paranoid disease
Woa-a it's the Terror Machine

Terror - Realise
Terror - Open Eyes
Terror - Easily created
Terror - We're being manipulated

Woa Your gonna know what I mean
Woa Terror Machine
Woa Know what I mean

Two Towers standing now here comes the bit
Where they all fall down like a magic trick
At least that's how I look at it
It's all in the cover-up

7/7 if you want my opinion
Was all government bombs
Too much talk about climate change and Africa
Keep the talks going wrong
It wouldn't do to make poverty history
It would spoil the plan
Of world domination in the nuclear age
Keep it in the can

Terror terror everywhere and the real reason is clear
Make way for big brother keep up the war and fear

Terror...

Manufactured hate from newspapers
Through video games and TV
Try to keep us all dumbed down
Can your eyes but see?

It was A OK till the communists fell
With the enemy gone they needed someone to kill
To keep the arms trade in lollipops
They had to make up with something new

Terror machine is a genius plan
But they don't want you to know whose scheme
Terror machine is a see-thru scam
A front for the killing regimes

Mind control 24/7
Is telling lies outright
Media coverage to the masses
Is not going to talk out of line

Terror...

Behind the scene this killing machine
Is off doing it's work
Funded by tax and vacant minds
It's time to get alert

I'd like us all to realise
That a spanner in the works
Is a sure fire risk for the terror machine
Because it's made of a lie

Terror...

Want you to see through the terror machine
What really makes it tick
Don't be suprised if the global 8
Are in the midst of it

Violence

2010-12-19T07:07:00.000-08:00

I'm trying to work it out where does violence come from
In the heat of the moment just what brings it on
There's violence in silence though you might think me wrong
Lights the blue touch paper for the fists and knives and guns

It's just below the surface but hidden well away
Disguised with greatest etiquette in the ways that we behave
Passed back and forth in lethal tennis games
Before the final act has blown the love away

This violence has run deep in history's angry seams
What violence is appropriate is what the lawcourts deem
Violence on the battlefield violence in the home
Violence nearly everywhere and just behind your nose

How one can regret but it's always too late
Whether it's to kill a man or just to smash a plate
In anger for something someone said or done
But who can look deep enough to ask where it comes from
Who can look deep enough to know where it comes from

I remember Blue

2010-12-18T14:49:00.000-08:00

I remember Blue
He said "Good times bad times"
And the girl in the flamenco dress
Swayed to the rhythm of his guitar

I looked at the scene
Heard his words and his strum
Never saw him one time more
And the girl she was just a dream

Then I paced down the street
Where I saw a man he was beat
Slumped into a shop doorway
Head between his knees

I guess he was gouched out
Could be heroin or crack cocaine
And I numbly wondered
What happened to my dream?

Didn't have no money and couldn't even speak
I reviewed my own life of the street
So I reached as far as I could reach
Into my heart for I accept no defeat

And I perceived a vast desert of soul-
Stranded survivors of a world gone wrong
And a flaming mouth that incinerated dreams
But yet one dream it burned through the flames
Of the flamenco girl who threw off her chains

She danced herself into a whirling peak
Said no words but smiled to me
And I sanctified gratified passed on the smile
Into the dawning street

It smashed into a car windscreen
Got lost in the wind
Echoed against the building blocks
Got half drowned in the rain
It caught a man in turpitude
And drove another sane
Got jammed inside a mortal coil
Of disempowered dreams
It rattled through my mandolin
And dislocated brains
It grated through the visors
Of the Motor City men
It caught all in a tornado
That blotted out the sun
Of which dust that followed smarted eyes
Of all the fallen ones
And through this cloud a man appeared
And he began to wave
I knew that we had understood
And so this vision fades

And I percieved a vast desert of soul stranded

My Elusive Muse

2010-12-18T14:18:00.000-08:00

I saw you once upon a normal street
I looked all upon you from your hair down to your feet
You smiled and disappeared and left me with the blues
But you had entered into me and left a mystic clue

Ah my elusive muse

What was it behind the city's cracks and lies
What behind hidden scars and in distant eyes
And everywhere I looked all with my seeking shoes
You were peeping through the gaps my elusive muse

Ah my elusive muse

You formed into the rounded hills such it was your grace
I looked into the moon and reflected was your face
I looked into the gutter thought that I might loose you
So I cried a silver tear my elusive muse

Ah my elusive muse

Inspiration from the well of passion's holy flame
Golden arrows to my heart when I hear your name
Six white horses carry you in a chariot so true
Seven songs of everywhere are the ones you use
To keep in time the fearless rhyme
My elusive muse

Ah my elusive muse

We chained you restrained you built worlds modern and new
But these are all missing love they are the work of fools
And to all insensed profiteers who at your brown skin grasp
Taking gold and minerals well none of this can last
For it threatens all the life on earth in the seas and skies of blue
How we do depend on you my elusive muse
There never can be an end to you my elusive muse

So if it is we shall meet and men will truly see
The majesty of life within your earth and heaven tree
And if we touch this holy bough feel it's pulse and fuse
We touch all infinity my elusive muse

Ah my elusive muse

King

2010-12-18T13:41:00.000-08:00

Why have a King at all?
Are not such people bound to fall
Oppressing people owning land
Common people understand

Who controls the city gates
Holding council decides fates
How to use this mighty hand
Is what a King must comprehend

This is what befits a King
He brings the ancient wisdom in
Support the people not exploit
Do these things is what he ought

And if to evil he is lured
What oh what could be the cure
A queen's wisdom is what endures
So peace on earth can be secured

Chorus

Dissolved into the land is He
Common people are the key
All proportions of a web
Of life and land and deeds and trials

A King to do and Bard to tell
So listen well this merry while
Here's to all our Kings within
Blessed Albion do they bring

Chorus:
Out with the old in with the new
Spirit of a peace which will come true
In with the old out with the new
Once and future does this please you?
Albion rare and dignified
Return this golden sunrise

Key to the Gates

2010-12-18T13:19:00.000-08:00

One for the stones that are old
Roll roll roll

Two for the alchemical gold
Roll roll roll

Three for the freedom of the soul
Roll roll roll

Who holds the key to the gates?
Who learns that knowledge waits?
Who holds the balance of the fates?

Four for the key to hidden doors
Roll roll roll

Five for the song that endeth wars
Roll roll roll

Six for the child that asketh more
Roll roll roll

Know that the gates are open wide
Spirit mother you are so wise
For three is the number of the child

Seven for the strength to move through fears
Roll roll roll

Eight for the turning of the years
Roll roll roll

Nine it is the spirit of good cheer
Roll roll roll

Musician herald bard held in reknown
With your three several wreathes you be crowned
Wielding your harps of mystical sounds for us

One for the stones that are old
Two for the alchemical gold
Three for the freedom of the soul
Four for the key to hidden doors
Five for the song that endeth wars
Six for the child that asketh more
Seven for the strength to move through fears
Eight for the turning of the years
Nine it is the spirit of good cheer

Roll roll roll
Roll roll roll
Roll it around-O
