Manifest Destiny

We have a manifest destiny
A trajectory
Which has to be
We feel the pull of gravity
The flow of entropy
It has to be
We will see
The event horizon eventually
We will be
Where time runs out and so does history
It's our Manifest destiny
We debate in time to kill
Is it fate or our own free will
As we roll downhill
No, there's no escaping a black hole
It's out of our control
It's our own goal
We will see
The event horizon eventually
We will be
Where lights go out to set the darkness free
It's our Manifest destiny

Sun Will Rise

I've got the right to believe what I like
And I don't like what I'm told
I've got alternative facts
Which expose the lies they sold
It's the government poisoning my system
Wake up! You're being controlled
Do your own research
Make the link
Click the link
Makes you think
Used to know the sun would rise tomorrow
Now you know I'm not so sure it will
Used to know the world would keep revolving
Perhaps it's standing still
You're a puppet you're a sheep you're a shill
You're a part of the cover up
I know a secret, I'm one of the good guys
I only seek the truth
Take the red pill
Not the blue pill
And all will be revealed
Used to know the sun would rise tomorrow
Now you know I'm not so sure it will
Used to know the world would keep revolving
Perhaps it's standing still
You won't see this in the mainstream media
They're not allowed to say
It's NASA - big pharma - the new world order
Sinister forces at play
False flag
Black ops
Join the dots

You met her online
Is there any other place?
Compatible profile and face
You messaged a while
Then you met for a drink
You've so much in common
You’re almost in sync
Now she's your girlfriend
She turned your life round
She made everything right
She led you from darkness into the light
After all this time you know love is real
You want to tell the world the way that you feel
About your girlfriend
But I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna hear about your girlfriend
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna hear about your girlfriend
Shut up shut up shut up about your girlfriend
Shut up shut up shut up about your girlfriend
So you won the lottery
Whoop de doo
I’m genuinely pleased for you
She’s beautiful, charming, intelligent, wise
She's practically perfect so it's no surprise she's your girlfriend
But I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna hear about your girlfriend
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna hear about your girlfriend
Shut up shut up shut up about your girlfriend
Shut up shut up shut the fuck up about your girlfriend

Wrong

Thanks for your opinion
Please let me interject
I’ve been investigating
And you’re factually incorrect
Your truth’s so economic
It’s tricky to detect
You said enough
I called your bluff
I had you fact checked
You’re wrong
Wrong
Wrong
Your argument’s is hardly strong
You're wrong
Factually wrong
Actually wrong
To tell you so I wrote a song
You had your contribution
Allow me to retort
You told a tale that’s tall enough
So I can tell you fell short
You failed authentication
Until you’re verified
That’s an invalid statement
Access denied
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
Your argument is hardly strong
wrong
Totally wrong
Morally wrong
To tell you so I wrote a song
I know you found a website
A Youtube channel too
I’m sure you found a Facebook group
Who totally agree with you
They’re equally mistaken
They should be disabused
For your information
You’re just fake news
You’re wrong
Wrong
Wrong
Your argument is hardly strong
Wrong
Morally wrong
Totally wrong
You don’t just smell, you really pong

When David Bowie Died
02:34
|

It hurt when Rik Mayall died
When Lemmy died
When Peter Shelley died
It hurt when John Lennon Died
When my Dad died
When Billy Bremner died
But somehow
Something changed and the world was altered
Something granted now denied
Somehow all of this insanity started
When David Bowie died
He was part of the furniture
An essential piece of the jigsaw
Somehow he must have been holding all the universe together
Because when his soul went off travelling
The whole thing started unravelling
And 2015's a receding dream
Something changed and the world was different
Something great was cast aside
Somehow all of this madness started
When David Bowie died
Something changed and the world was different
Something fixed began to slide
Somehow all of this ugliness started
When David Bowie died

All You Need Is Time
04:52
|

The hours you were spending
May seem never ending
But now you're depending on time
Working to pay for
The things you're away for
There's not much to say for your time
It's all you need
We'll skip through fields, sea air we'll breathe
On statutory days of leave
At weekends and on Christmas Eve we're fine
Let's fly away, let's do a bunk
On second thoughts let's spend the weekend drunk
On our own good time
All I need is some time
All we need is more time
All I need is some quality time
To be living
The moment you live through
You can't take it with you
And all I can give you is time
The days stacked behind you
Will always remind you
The reaper will find you in time
It's all you need
We're fireworks gone in a flash
We burn so bright then fall apart to ash
That's the way of time
The big bang never ended, no
The whole thing's still exploding really slow
In the flow of time
All I need is some time
All we need is more time
All I need is some quality time
To be living
All you need is time
Quality time to be living

Can Of Worms
03:43

Someone on my timeline
Says the truth has been revealed
I want to put them straight
But sometimes silence is a shield
It's a minefield
Someone in the family
Thinks the world is black and white
I'd like to call them out
But there'd be fallout from the fight
And so I never bite
But there's an elephant in the room
I don't want to go there
It's a can of worms
It's something I'm avoiding
Like the plague or other germs
It's a can of worms
See I've got a friend
Who wants to talk through past events
It's not that I don't care
But I can't share, it's too intense
It's kind of ring-fenced
But there's an elephant in the room
I don't want to go there
It's a can of worms
It's something I'm avoiding
Like the plague or other germs
A can of worms
My alcohol consumption
The sugar in my tea
The fuel my motor burns
The meat and dairy industry
The idiocracy
The poison in the air
And all the plastic in the sea
The imminent demise of life and all humanity
It gets too much for me
But there's an elephant in the room

Life Support
04:31

I am lost
It's the morphine
It's the carbon
It's a fever
I'm confused
I'm just spinning
I'm in orbit
I feel seasick
I see you
I see pictures
I see faces
I see flashbacks
All that time
It's elastic
Seems like ages
Seems like moments
I'm away
With the fairies
With the angels
With the demons
I'm still here
Only sort of
Inbetween worlds
Just potential
Hey Houston
There's a problem
A malfunction
Lights are blinking
A solution
In the dripfeed
For the poison
In the system
You can save me
You can kill me
Love me
You're my life support
Make the difference
You can love me
You're my life
So be there
Be my healthcare
Hold my hand
And get me through my nightmare
Time is short
Be my life support
Remember you said I was your world?
You know me
I made you everything you are
You owe me
I need a way back
Back down to the Earth
It's you
Believe me
You are the cure
Maybe you're the disease
But please
Don't leave me
You can save me
You can kill me
Love me
You're my life support
Make the difference
You can love me
You're my life
So be there
Be my healthcare
Hold my hand
And get me through my nightmare
Time is short
Be my life support

Maybe I should sing about
all the stuff in my life, how I’m working things out
My feelings my certainty and doubt
Maybe my relationships
Maybe how I’m in love, how my broken heart rips
Some snapshots, soap plots and life tips
But this shadow is a total eclipse
Time to respond, time to go figure
Can’t wave a wand, won’t pull a trigger
Above and beyond there’s something bigger
Ten years to save the world
Didn’t see the news guy weep
And we swiped him away in a hypnotized sleep
Unthinking just sinking ever deep
And someone on the internet
Said they’re making it up, there’s no proof of it yet
Don’t fret, don’t sweat, it’s an empty threat
But this shadow is death’s silhouette
Time to respond, time to go figure
Can’t wave a wand, won’t pull a trigger
Above and beyond there’s something bigger
Ten years to save the world
It's just the world
Just the world
Maybe I should keep it light
Make it quirky and catchy and breezy and bright
Say nothing, sound cool and look right
But now it’s time to take a side
Of all the ways we can subdivide
Just action or distraction – you decide

Starting Tomorrow

Starting tomorrow
Things will be different
I will read books and get a life plan
I will stand up and be a better man
Starting tomorrow
I'll be upgraded
I will be kind to other creatures
I will gain some redeeming features
Starting tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Starting tomorrow
I'm making changes
I'll make a permanent improvement
I will go out and join a movement
Starting tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Starting tomorrow
I will decide to start today
I won't procrastinate, deviate or doubt
Maybe I'll actually do something about tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
