Did the hippies lose the battle?
Same, same, only different. The perfect body is still an ideal, materialism has adopted new toys and the paper fantasies have moved.
People are still looking to space for their workless utopias.
Idealism meets reality. Wannabe messiahs lost in time. Romeo, Juliet and Hamlet. Tragic endings.
Hey Timothy Leary, would you still say that the internet is the new LSD bringing visions of peace and love.
At night I dream. I romanticise the 60’s. I don’t want to turn back the clock, I want to bring forward the hope, the fight, for a new golden age of peace and love. Sooner than later the youth will revolt against the establishment. It’s their future.
I wake and let the sunshine in.
We starve
Look at one another
Short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation
Of moving paper fantasy
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Somewhere inside something
There is a rush of
Greatness, who knows what stands in front of
Our lives? I fashion my future
On films in space
Silence tells me secretly
Everything
Everything
Manchester England England
Manchester England England
(Eyes look your last)
Across the Atlantic Sea
(Arms take your last embrace)
And I’m a genius genius
(And lips oh you the doors of breath)
I believe in God
(Seal with a righteous kiss)
And I believe that God believes in Claude
(Seal with a righteous kiss)
That’s me, that’s me, that’s me
The rest is silence
The rest is silence
The rest is silence
We starve
Look at one another
Short of breath
Walking proudly in our winter coats
Wearing smells from laboratories
Facing a dying nation
Of moving paper fantasies
Listening for the new told lies
With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Singing
Our space songs on a spider web sitar
Life is around you and in you
Answer for Timothy Leary, deary
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sunshine in
Let the sunshine
Let the sunshine in
The sun shine in…
