Now We Have Power - Lyrics
The View Part 1
Softly wrapped Expectant germ Wither in the sun
Tightly trapped Twisting worm There’s no way to run from the view
Split and crack Glitter ball Spinning in the air
Feathers flapped Fledgling fall Time enough to stare at the view.
Look around Spiral cloud distilled Heaven found bewildering
The View Part 2
We see, we know, there’s rot below
We’re quite contented down in the doldrums here
Too bright, too blue, hide from the view
We won’t be tormented down in the doldrums here
Can’t you see there’s opportunity in the air?
Synchronicity we’re viewing now, filter out the glare
Just close, the door
We’ll not be thwarted down in the doldrums here
Can’t you see there’s opportunity in the air?
Synchronicity we’re viewing now, tuning out despair
Can’t you see there’s opportunity in the air?
Synchronicity we’re viewing now.
Looking up, we hope he sees Where we belong
Speak To Us
Up and down a dog-tired country
A muted sound waking eyes so bleary
“There’s so much to ask you please just find a way to speak to us”
Gathered ‘round the Lightfield T.V
Expectant towns all awaiting humbly
“There’s so much to ask you please just find a way to speak to us”
Don:
“Here on the edge, I’m conscious and drifting
There’s nothing to see…”
People’s work is now perfunctory
A voyeurist quirk then moving on distractedly
“There’s so much to ask you please just find a way to speak to us”
Dr Fnuffling:
“He’s on the edge. Unconscious and drifting. There’s nothing to see.
Best not to get your hopes up with wishing for worlds still unseen”
Devachan Don
Are you dreaming, are you awake? The spark of life has blown the wire
Surrendering your stake Dissolve into the atmosphere.
The unknown You’ve come home Beyond bone Beyond a dream
Rectify all of your mistakes Satori by the motorway
With mind blown You disown The millstone Blessed relief
Abandoning all the concern To catch the water in your hand
In Sandbach You side-track And playback A better day
Just another spin of the wheel Magnetic pull returning to
The unknown A new home Flesh and bone Beggars belief!
Bedhead
I’m speaking gently you understand That we just need that helping hand
To find our way from the mess we’re in
It’s all got rather out of hand An escalation that emanates from you
But don’t feel bad
‘cos it’ll help us greatly the words you’ll say…
A benefaction! A loving gesture showing us the way
Just mull things over let’s wait and see You might feel differently?
Quiet Rejoicing
Still reflection, symmetry in mind That hearts just must be lifted by
A clear awakening sequestered in the limpid sky
A step into the sun abandoning the gloom A way beyond the storm that’s coming soon
Away from the storm
Shake the vision caught under a spell A trick that we play on ourselves
Delusion in a falling spin longing to be somewhere else
For weary feet and tired bones A quiet rejoicing in our homes
For withered souls splintered and cast away It’s all pretending and still might be fun to play
Speech Day
The President:
“Now if I could just have your attention please, we’ll begin as soon as you’ve calmed down…quiet please…quiet please…quiet.
Four score and seven years ago, to quote a phrase…well, it’s not been quite that long since all our lives here were changed – it gives me great pleasure to announce today that our wait has come to an end is in sight…I give…you…”
Don:
“So, here we are.
There YOU are. And you’re there too.
So we’re all here.
That’s good.
I speak to you light and free as drifting cloud or as flowing water.
Reborn!
And it’s plain to see – living proof!
Fundamentally true!
There is nothing to fear in this moment…
So…here we are.”
Swansong
When you’re on a run There’s no sense in ever coming down
There’s no setting sun And what goes around can’t come around
This raggedy bag of remains Has finally run aground Expecting to start all again? For crying out loud!
You’re the chosen one With no trace of danger to be found
Thinking that you’ve won Ignore rising water as you drown
This raggedy bag of remains Has finally run aground Expecting to start all again? For crying out loud!
We’re crying out loud.
