i. Sun
I remember. The English walled garden Days of air and honey-suckled nights The dance of lavenders and cabbage-whites Made than 3D, glowing in the evening long-shadowed sun better. But in England, although nothing really changes, the weather always does...
ii. The
The stops us The gold did The gold more lives than Uranium Plutonium Pandemonium...
The thunder The sighing of the monster... Come to break the heavy to silence all the singing birds Tearing up the sky like White-welding dark steel of clouds And the of the sudden rain
The stops us The gold did The gold took more than Uranium Plutonium. Pandemonium. The Gold!
Jet engines and And the rain Like finding a lost
The are travelled by many promises of peace And some not to go The f e a r looks bravado It did I see waiting, smiling On the in dawn's mist Or to the world in their upturned boats I'll be or I'll die trying to be to BE.
iii. Demolished
I see myself in The at the borders Waiting to exist Brothers, sisters, sons and our so-called golden streets Running from demolished walls
The "haves" and the "have nothings" The accepted and We keep letting them in We can't keep them in?
The stops us The always did The took more lives than Uranium Polonium. Pandemonium.
And as I stand wondering why A man on a smartphone Falls into my pocket the sky life Everything is everywhere .'know I mean? Handy. And obscene.
iv. F E A R
F E A R is everywhere the patio Under the hard-earned bought and paid-for Cushions, scented candles and the Mowing to the beat and the of the coming storm
We all about the wars that are raging All the millions who just see There's so much more that binds us than us But our f e a r it the papers stir it The of the flag we wave Were and will blood red again
And the madmen all say hear voices God tells them to do The wars are all money They were And the money's up in religion And when it's not off, the money's hiding.
Something is inside me... It ready, but already... I'm harder to live with Becoming harder to with You say I'm harder to live with I'm becoming harder to with But you can't see into my You see into my head You can't see into my
No, you see into my head.
And the roads are of weapons That by in the night Tanks all covered in mud you on the motorway As you drive by with the kids and the and spades Days.
v. The of Apes
in the air Brimstone in the deeply of it The wind is carrying the The is muttering the names The wind-chimes in my garden ring like To all the doors.
We are the grandchildren of apes, not But only we are gifted with the to see On days f e a r, when our heads are clear That angels, we be.
