Heterosapien

I stood on the moon
Looked back on a sphere
And I said To myself
How did I get here?
I gave you fire
The more I learned
The more it went to my head
I got my fingers burned
I’m a heterosapien male
Ever since I lost my tail
Heterosapien male
I got so sentient
I’m sentimental now
I got enlightenmental now
I took the world
I made it mine
Built my image in stone
Made it look divine
Now I’m losing touch
With reality
I’m too clever by half
I’m my worst enemy
I’m a heterosapien male
Exponential in scale
And I’ve done pretty well
For a collection of cells
I’m just a bio system
I’m a heterosapien male
Prime primate prevailed
I went viral I’ve seen
The anthropocene
I’m eating up my ecosystem
In a corner of the solar system now
I’m a heterosapien male
Ever since I lost my tail
Heterosapien male
I got so sentient
I’m sentimental now
I got enlightenmental now
I got enlightenmental now

We Go Woo
03:43

I can bend a spoon with only mental powers
I can talk to ghosts and gods and garden flowers too
You better believe it’s true
I can channel energies and mystic forces
I’ve a treatment for completement Gwynneth P endorses too
you better believe it’s true
I go woo...They go woo
Are you feeling guilty? Come and be forgiven
I’ve got balls of crystal, I tell fortunes with ‘em
Oooh, you better believe it’s true
I go woo...They go woo
Aliens, lizards, spirits, fairies
Two headed demons, three hail Marys
Someone’s selling if you’re buying it
Prophets, messiahs, domes and spires
They all want you trying it
And once you’re in theres no denying it
Woo wa wa wa wa woo...
I go woo...They go woo...We go woo...They all go woo

We Are The Others
03:24
|
|||
|
We are the mirror
We’re the flipside
We are the counterweight
We are the riptide
We’re a reminder
That your worldview
Isn’t held by all
It doesn’t hold true
We are the others
Sisters and brothers
In opposition
There’s no attraction
We are repellent
We’re the reaction
We’re a reminder
That your worldview
Isn’t held by all
It doesn’t ring true
We are the others
Sisters and brothers
We are the others

Let There Be Light
03:15
|

|
Let there be light
Make it constant and fast
Light the way to the future
And light up the past
In every direction
So beautiful and vast
Shadows in the cave
Particle and wave
Give us some illumination
Cosmic background radiation
Let there be light
Let there be light
Turn the night into day
Take the shadows and nightmares
And blast them away
Keep superstition
And ignorance at bay
Shadows in the cave
Particle and wave
Energising, energetic
Electrical and so magnetic
Let there be light
Shadows in the cave
Particle and wave
A rainbow for the kids to smile at
Infra red to ultraviolet
Let there be...light

I See Wonders
04:16
|
|||
|
She is the sun, the moon, the sky
She sets poetry in motion
She is music to my eyes
She is the life/light
She is everything
She’s a constant inspiration
She’s a rare and precious thing
But somehow I saw
the end of the world
Now I see wonders
She - she crossed her heart
and hoped to die
She is dreaming of a world
Where all the ghosts and angels fly
She only sees what she wants to see
From the peak of civilisation
All the way to world war three
And somehow she sees
A decadent world
When I see wonders
I saw apocalypse now
Now I see wonders
I see wonders

The Beginning Times
03:26
|

|
Stop pretending
We’re at an ending
These are the beginning times
We’re not departed
We’ve hardly started
These are the beginning times
There’s time to run
We’re not done
We’ve only just begun
Because the truth will out
It cannot fail
It stands to reason
Life and love prevail
We’re not defeated
We’re not completed
These are the beginning times
There’s a solution
It’s an evolution
These are the beginning times
Change your mind
Be redefined
And leave the past behind
‘Cause when the dark is gone
You never know
Just stand for reason
Let the future glow
Stay in school
Do something clever
Cure disease
Control the weather
Fly to space
And live for ever

Living In A Maze
03:43
|
|||
|
saw your smile
in the patterns on the wall
take a while
create a shape I can recall
Not of this time, not of this place
Not of this world
You just jumped off
and floated out to space
lonely child, An imaginary friend
We’ll walk for miles
(and miles and miles and miles)
And we’ll meet you at the end
The end of life, the gates of paradise
End of this world
Come back once or twice To give advice
You know you’re living in a Maze
A puzzle called the universe
You live you learn you can’t rehearse
A world of questions within questions
And the answers don’t exist
Life’s a calculated risk
Here’s another burning issue
And here’s another trivial pursuit
You know you’re living in a Maze
A puzzle called the universe
You live you learn you can’t rehearse
It looks pointless, and it is
Philosophy just makes it worse
You’re not the first

Speed Of Dark
03:39
|
|||
|
There’s a man in a tinfoil hat
Wants to prove the Earth is flat
And he’s got a meme for that
They say a lie can go around the world Before the truth has even got its boots on
When you’re travelling at the speed of light
Nothing faster in the universe
When you’re arriving at the speed of light The darkness got there first
Ah, the speed of dark
There’s a man with terrible hair
Says climate change is all hot air
The earth could die but he doesn’t care
Maybe you heard how bad news travels fast It’s fast enough but fake news travels faster
When you’re travelling at the speed of light
nothing faster in the universe
If you’re arriving at the speed of light
The darkness got there first
Ah, the speed of dark
