"The planet does not need more 'successful' people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every shape and form. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these needs have little to do with success as our culture has defined it." - David Orr

Why would I bother to get out of bed
When it's minus fifteen
And the world is gonna come to an end in a year and a half
Think I'm permanently damaged in the head
Frozen pizza and ecstasy
formed into a toxic sludge and burned a hole in my brain
Crazy – voices in my head make me
Crazy – the whole fucking world's going
Crazy – it's no wonder I wanna stay high
Bombs going off in the markets in Spain
And there's buckets of oil in the rain
It's a wonder I don't wanna die
Why get excited by coming of age
To inherit a legacy of
Bottomed out bottom lines and a minimum wage
No surprise you've a low credibility line
Saying drugs are illegal from the back rooms
While doing lines off the tits of a whore
Crazy (etc)
Why would I bother to try to unwind
When we're all out of time
And the world is gonna come to an end in a year and a half
Crazy (etc)
Appalled – Kettled in with our backs to the wall
Management's got us all by the balls
In the 21st Century

Would you watch me fall
When I needed to fall
Because I needed to fall

In a lie
In a lie
It remained the same
In that village where we stayed
I forget the name
Italy or Spain
Passenger

In a lie
In a lie
You emit a lie
Admit you lie
To justify
The other lie

In a lie

Ice floes slow the atrophy of time
The grain, the grind.
Memories remain encoded in the ice
Lost to humankind
We come, we go
The ebb and flow
Freezes and flows
Valence encodes
The energetic modes
H2O
Twenty seven thousand years beneath the ice
And still precise
A full cup thrust up to power the device
Encased in ice
We come, we go
The ebb and flow
Freezes and flows
Valence encodes
The energetic modes
H2O
What is time beyond the movement of the stars
Eternally
All the energy that we could ever need
For all, for free

The Devil I Know for the Devil I See
Who put the devil inside of me?
The devil I see for the devil I know
All along the way we go
Well I got lost along the way
Save my trouble for another day
Trust my feet to take the load
Nothing owned and nothing owed
The places we can go
In this world
Familiar places we all know
In this world
Oh the places we can go
The Devil I Know for the Devil I See
Who put the devil inside of me?
The devil I see for the devil I know
All along the way we go
The places we can go
In this world
The dangerous places we can go
In this world
Oh the places we can go
The places we can go
In this world
The dangerous places we all go
Without love
Oh the places we can go

The Best Part Carries On
The Best Part Carries On
A red ball of bait
Ten thousand
Like a beating heart
Under the water
Under the water
The Best Part Carries On
The Best Part Carries On
Bluefish
Sides like silver
Ate their way through frenzied bait
Under the water
Under the water
The Best Part Carries On
The Best Part Carries On
Peaceful, patient
Understanding attitude
Plus food
Under the water
Under the water
Under the water
Under the water

Crowsnest

Your eyes are open, you pick up the pace
You take what you can to run the human race
Whatever it takes to get you through the day
But the waters are rising so fast
As you sit in safety at the top of the mast
Perched in a crowsnest as the river runs past
It's in our nature, our particular curse
Things are in bad shape and getting worse
Until you need no encouragement
No further encouragement
You only believe what you can see with your eyes
But your children's children watch the phoenix rise
They need no encouragement
No further encouragement
They'll weather the changes, they'll suffer and learn
While it'll be your fate to see it burn
Your sense of entitlement
Your sense of entitlement
We dream in colour
We dream as one

Don't want to think about the implications
Of what they're putting in the water
A thousand miles away.
Are these unnecessary complications
Or does it really matter?
It sounds unkind to say that
You don't even try
To find another way round
How you justify
All the old familiar ways
Well it's a reasonable explanation
As sound as any other.
Too tired to explain
Another throwback conversation,
Another ripple in the water
Too high from all the rain
You don't even try
To find another way round
There's no compromise
All the old familiar ways
Still trying to forget you
A thousand times a day
I asked her if she missed you
She laughed and turned away
It's partly the emotion
It's part of the display
You're drunk and you're immortal
A tried and tired play
You don't even try
To find another way round
There's no compromise
All the old familiar ways
