time out
tick tock
running running
need to stop

circles circles
chasing dust
out of reach
meaning lost

they'd like to wipe
us off from the face of the earth
terminate our type
eliminate
zero tolerate
and set the world to rights

reboot the machine
switch it off and switch it on
we'll thank them for it
when the problem has gone

we and they
seem to think the same way
cold reason deals so effectively
with all that stuff that's just
getting in the way
of peace and love and freedom
of our smiley happy vision
of their clean and holy kingdom

reboot the machine
switch it off and switch it on
we'll thank them for it
when the problem has gone

they'd like to wipe
us off from the face of the earth
terminate our type
eliminate
zero tolerate
and set the world to rights

don't think that this is not how we are
we all have the ability to exercise this power
would it not be better to try to find an answer
and keep this monster asleep deep inside our nature

tree trunks stomp
along the hall
small boys giggle
behind a wall
overhead whispers
clarion call
to scorn them all

he could not wait
to reach the heights
that would give him the space
to see the sights
he longed to explore
and set the world to rights
when he got there

we apologise to passengers
for the slight delay
but there has been an incident
ahead
we hope the journey soon
will be back underway
and I bet you are all wondering
if some poor soul is dead

he could not wait
to reach the heights
that would give him the space
to see the sights
he longed to explore
and set the world to rights
when he got there

she will give birth
in the Spring
she told me today

and the truth is
if a niche exists
to fit a minority's
view of hard to resist
there is likely to be
one or more to be found
for most types of minority
hanging around

variations on a theme
variations on a theme
so many
variations on a theme

tides turn around on society bank
gulls surround soft pools exposed
constructed vistas glint and burn
organic mesh of steel and bone
this is the place we have claimed as home
an experience we have called our own

so far removed
irrelevant
another world
a business place
heaving, stuffed and filled
with such as those well kent
a familiar face
or two
it just doesn't feel
like home
for the likes
of me and you

yellow sticky
lifestyle
email inbox
heavy
coloured charts
forgotten arts
accelerating

Topic: words waiting for music

naked as a baby
wandering through existence
not so good at asset gathering
growing older with persistence

trying to remember
today might not last forever
not so hot at going solo
dreading when its all all over

headstrong and wilful
kind of cruel description
not so keen on fighting battles
listening low and high for inspiration
