Sirens are calling ’n storm troops are forming 'n watch-towers are burning For our war is coming Fill me with rapture And Test me with fire And know I’ll not fail you In this revenge I will follow you through the flames of the fire I will swallow you in the blood of my desire I pray the lord my soul to keep Now I rise from my drugged sleep May the righteous be on my side and my enemies have no where to hide I will follow you through the flames of the fire I will swallow you in the blood of my desire

Trade and empire will serve our table Robe our kings in ermine and sable We look for new lands to strip them bare Of all that’s precious, sacred and rare My ship is on fire! My ship is on fire! Wooden bows break through pristine waters We sail with god and the lust that brought us Golden children sing from sun-kissed shore They offer spices, we bring them war My ship is on fire! My ship is on fire! The night is black with no guiding star Pale maps show dragons — we’ve gone too far Our holds are empty, just guns remain We kill each other — it’s in our veins We kill each other — it’s in our veins! My ship is on fire! My ship is on fire!

Going to Brownhills, on my own Travellin’ light, like a rolling stone Radio blasting, a looping song Putting my foot down, cruising along I’m riding high on the summer heat I got Places to go, an people to meet I came here once a long time ago Livin my best life dontchya know. Going back to Brownhills Going back to where I sold my skills Going back to Brownhills Going back to find forgotten thrills Pale ghost rider whispers in my ear Time don’t change it just shifts a gear It’s a hard lesson for the young to learn I didn’t notice ‘cos I missed my turn (Chorus) If I’ve said it once I musta said it twice I’ve thrown away all my loaded dice How I got here don’t matter now judgement waits for me over the brow (Chorus)

‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with one charge’. That’s how they advertised the new generation of electric cars. Battery development advanced at such breakneck speed that a single charge would keep a car rolling for days. Range-anxiety disappeared. And as the cars were mostly autonomous it became easier and more relaxing to drive. Then, like the sun breaking through dark clouds to shine on humanity came the massive breakthrough in nuclear fusion. Huge quantities of free and clean energy became available at scale. Soon, every major city in the world was running on energy so cheap to produce that it became pointless to meter. To charge your electric car that would run for days cost you nothing. So now, if you owned a car, you could really go places. And if you didn’t own one and wanted to travel as a big family you could use the trains. When all the lines became electrified train journeys became incredibly cheap to buy. Even air travel transformed into a sustainable and inexpensive industry — dirigibles and electric cruise liners filled the skies. The Jevons’ paradox kicked in; now that everyone had access to free or cheap travel, everyone started to travel more. They visited their family and friends, they travelled to distant cultural events, they visited tourist attractions, they visited places they had never been to before just for the novelty of seeing some place new. It became so popular to travel that even people who were naturally misanthropic and fixed in their routines felt compelled to join in. They were in this weird mental space where they travelled without knowing where they were going or why they were going there, it was just the thing to do. And many people found it strangely satisfying: some people travelled and never returned, they just kept being on the move from one location to the next preferring to stay adrift. Questions about the meaning of life disappeared — being on the move meant you left such thoughts behind. Being on the move became the meaning. Soon the whole world was in constant motion. Every road, rail, air corridor, byway, lane and highway was a restless and unceasing stream of vehicles. In space, satellites monitored this movement. A deluge of data poured down to earth mapping the ebb and flow in the tides of humanity. Then one day, a data scientist named Electra was studying the patterns in the readouts and she realised what was happening. The inescapable cycle of birth, death and rebirth was being played out. Technology and civilisation had progressed to such a pitch that humans had reverted back to the rhythms of existence once enjoyed by the hunter-gatherer tribes from millennia ago. The migration of humanity to every part of the globe was repeating over and over again. Travel far enough, she thought, and eventually you return to the place you started from.

We walk alone From the day we’re born We shelter each other before the storm Stand in light Call the power We dance sing and pray to remember this hour We're just waiting How long now From the end? We know how this plays out but let’s pretend Friends have gone Up above Waiting is empty when there’s nothing to love We're just waiting

It was an endless night The moon shone on our bed I kept thinking about All the things you’d said And as you slept Oh how I wept I had a bad dream There was another man And you were making love Like only you can And as you slept Oh how I wept I was cold and scared Fighting jealous rage I knew this man was real And I’d have this dream again And as you slept Oh how I wept And as you slept Oh how I wept

sailing on a silver bird, climbing eight miles high Lucy rides by my side, dark stars kiss the sky Acid Daze ah Acid Daze Planet caravan is where Tim Leary lives Without clothes or sedatives Itchicoo parks his car, Dali is amused says, “I can see for miles and miles through the holes in my shoes” Acid Daze Acid Daze fields of fire bloom with strawberry haze from along the watchtower, a hurdy gurdy plays Acid Daze ah, Acid Daze

They can't always handle the way life makes them lonely They can't always handle the nights that never end They don't always mean to say goodbye to their friends They don't always mean to take their own lives Sometimes they just want to find a place to hide Sometimes they can't help but commit suicide

Go with him If love’s jealousies are unsatisfied Go with him If you think he pleases you more than I Go with him And kiss the feet of a total stranger Go with him If you think you can tear any unfair advantage from his glad submission Go with him With poison in your spleen and vipers in your breast Go with him And let maddening tongues of fire lick my vitals Go with him My wretched darling, my jealous pet, my lovely succubus Go with him And destroy in a moment what took lifetimes to build Go with him And pour the smoking cankers of your invective over his fatuous mistakes Go with him Go to the anvil of your crushing hate, and in the fierce heat of infidelity smash to pieces your diseased and violent passions for me Go with him And I will exult in my new powers over death Go with him And let demonic forces finally mate Go with him And the blinding magnesium fire of pain will kiss your burning cheeks Go with him And touch the raw nerve of exquisite longing Go with him And fuse the glowing quivering terminals of desire Go with him And burn out the twisted, spitting, crackling wires of life Go with him And bring to dust my marble erections Go with him Go with him

He came to my house In his long black coat Forbidden verses in his pocket And on his lips, a stolen quote “If you live in times of madness When the truth is made to hide Then lies will enslave your future And charlatans will be your guide” I showed him to my room And he laid down on the bed He made the sign of the cross As his wounds slowly bled “All is lost” he cried like a king “The city burns for its crimes, Death squads patrol the streets their songs frighten me sometimes …” I read the rebel writings of Thomas Paine again I heard the barefoot saboteurs calling out my name I saw the highborn eat, laugh and dance with no shame I tell you now, four horsemen wait to ride out in the rain You know the game is over When the results come before the vote “The Kalashnikov is now your master!” said the man in the long black coat Against the night I saw the lights Orange and red in dancing flames On the wind I heard the cries In between the called-out names

Entering orbit Spacecraft rocking, rolling All life support systems failing Mayday Mayday Mayday Mayday Because I am one I do what I can But I dunno what it means to be a man And everywhere I look, everything I see Tells me I don’t belong here, there’s nothing for me And I feel like an alien And I feel like an alien Fear is my only friend we meet every day It takes me by the hand and shows me the way So many riches and none can be mine What is ambition, what is a good time? And I feel like an alien And I feel like an alien I’m looking out my bubble and the world looks at me Do they wonder who’s in here, what do they see— A man who’s lost and far from home? If a friend is out there, make yourself known And I feel like an alien And I feel like an alien

Now there's nowhere left to turn Wildfires are gonna make us burn See the flames gettin' higher and higher They've reached your house and it's on fire Now no one can speak the truth The future's stolen from the youth There'll be refugees on a dusty road Made to reap what we have sown Ah, once we thought we had it all Our children played and the grain grew tall Around the dream we built a wall But to the garden came The Fall Now we have to choose a side As nations fight against a rising tide Nature’s forces are cutting loose And soon your money will have no use Ah, once we thought we had it all Our children played and the grain grew tall Around the dream we built a wall But to the garden came The Fall

You know the CIA funded the counter-culture back in the 60s? You know climate change is a hoax, right? You know the twin towers was a false flag attack? You know we’re not supposed to question anything they tell us, right? 5G has made my brain swell, now I’m thinking bout the crash at Roswell Second shooter on the grassy knoll, put the bullets in the voodoo doll We got a whole lotta voodoo, make you think like we do We got a whole lotta hoodoo, make you dance in the trance of the untrue David Kelly wasn’t suicide, Tony Blair got something to hide Novichok is on the door knob, why can’t our leaders get a grip on the job? We got a whole lotta voodoo, make you think like we do We got a whole lotta hoodoo, make you dance in the trance of the untrue Blood and money leave a hidden trail, point it out and you’re going to jail J Assange had the evidence, but the justice system don’t make no sense We got a whole lotta voodoo, make you think like we do We got a whole lotta hoodoo, make you dance in the trance of the untrue

You are many They are few It’s written down in poor boy blood the hurt they’ve done to you They take it all Make you build a wall Keep your kind from trespassing in the gardens of the Hall Why don’t we wise up? Why don’t we sign up? Why don’t we rise up? Don’t believe You’re the fool The way they keep us occupied is divide and rule Eat the rich Grind their bones Let the fat drip from our lips as we feast on Mr Jones Why don’t we wise up? Why don’t we sign up? Why don’t we rise up?

I packed some clothes and I cut my hair Found the money that I hid somewhere In my bag now I’m on the run A British passport and a gun Wheels are turning, I have done my duty East of Berlin, someone’s waiting for me I took some drugs and I took a ride The driver spoke about some guy who died On the boat, I watch the sea Sipping slowly some Russian tea Wheels are turning, I have done my duty East of Berlin, someone’s waiting for me When I see the lands I can call my own, my own Snow will cover fields where the seeds were sown, were sown
