we wont forget ya, we're trying to connect ya
we live by the wire, modern messiah
steeping the steps up, for giving us less
you're always the liar, never the fire
trapped in this capsule, it's a permanent battle
you're never a loner, when you're a stoner
why can't you be normal, relentlessly formal
you piss in our water, it's all that we're good for
media friendly, feeding the frenzy
the pound or the euro, they'll still take it from you
boy! will they be glad when they've got us all tagged
as long as we behave we can all be saved
it's a long wait to find that you've wasted half your li

and then there comes the moment, when everything is clear
i yearn like hell the ringing bell, election time is here
the coach is made of leather, he says "don't believe their lies
you've got your health, just be yourself, they'll kill you otherwise"
the left jabs at my conscience, the right jabs at my fear
i'm doubled up, i'm losing blood, the bullshit fills my ears
and later when i come to, the crowd have all gone home
i've lost my coat, i didn't vote, no-one hears my moan
stand up, stand up and fight

braving the wind 'cos summer has not begun to bloom
and you're so far away
and these streets are dead without you
pacing the room in the day, no business to attend
i'm being made to pay
for the hurt i've done to others
breaking my arms to reach you

handpicked out of many, guess my face just fit
taken to a black car and driven from my school
issued with a number that would be denied
if i was ever taken
gigged around the planet for five or six years
we partied with the locals then filled them full of holes
keeping down the people is not that hard
when they're already frightened
i was a teenage death squad
sent to keep the folks indoors
but i don't like to talk about it
i only did it for the applause

the job was demanding
i never felt like working anyhow
i worked by the river
looking down i'd often wonder
what if i dived? would i survive?
nothing would change, nothing was my name
i lived by the factory
broken down and disused by the field
i walked on the roofbeams
looking down i'd often wonder
what if i dived? would i survive?
nothing will change when nothing's your name
i walked to the railtrack
across the road from where she parked the car
i waited for hours
staring at the line and wondering
what if i dared? who'd fucking care?
nothing will change when nothing's your name

day full of sleep, dreaming unconscious plays
now you are back in the place you are paid
days full of red and the green that i bought
weightlessness, warm breeze and you in my thoughts
i levitate to the sound of a song
sung in a place where we all belong
this weight that you have found is hard for you to drag around

lyrics:
globes of wood on a piece of string
but i don't want no other
in the bar, it broke my heart
when one of them went over
black and grey in a lonesome way
but i don't mean to smother
there's too few hours in the day
whenever we're together
i won't always be around
but i will live forever
as long as you remember me
as somebody who mattered
i drink too much and i fool around
oh! honey, i am trouble
i never know which way to go
but there is one thing that i do know
i'll keep 'em for ya
i'll never let them go
until you need them
i wanted you to know
i'll keep 'em for ya
i'll never let them go
until you need them
they'll be safe with me
i've got betsi's beads

miles removed from where i was
i'm still around
refuse to join the sunning crowd
and i will no longer
try to understand these things
i can't find peace
the first night i have been alone
since i've been here
i know i should be angry now, summon a curse
on those who like to drag me through
two different worlds
use your voice, make a choice
don't be confused
it never gets much easier
it only gets harder
brother bill is dead and gone
company rules
and these four walls that hold me in
cannot be broken
everything peripheral, edge of the night
i'd leave if i could only move
but i'm my own prisoner
use your voice, make a choice

i can't find a corner to hang my weary head
and i don't take my orders from people who are dead
the boardroom rakes the profits, wages can't be found
leaders reaching summits while we're stuck on the ground
dehumanised and distant, pounded by the law
those who we look up to turned out to be flawed
looking down upon us from a telescope on mars
we'd think we were so foolish to let it get so far
when witch hunts blow the whistle god says let them fry
and christians high on mercy will take eye for an eye
it's hard to fly with one wing the left is old and bent
and love is often implied although it is never meant
mobilise or this is what you'll get

with his prayer book in one hand
always was the family man
tries to sell me things screaming no possessions
and he works all through the night
trying to feed the hand that bites
and the people to my right are winning
and they hurt him with their songs
he does not belong
he's just about to run on empty
she laughs as i walk in
there's milk all down her chin
stacey's in a spin so tired
and your beauty is so fair
with a smile that is so rare
the kisses that we share last forever
my mind pictures your long hair flowing
you drive me crazy you're always with me
my mind pictures your red hair flowing
you drive me crazy you're always with me

've seen where we are and where we're going
the whispers have all gone, the hurting has begun
it's gonna be alright, it's gonna be okay
when everything has cooled
we'll gather up these tools
that mend these things
have changed but not for better
and everything i touch it always gets screwed up
tonight i feel so old, starting to unfold
but there's no one to blame
it's only just the same old me
release
celebrate the fact if you are with your lover
celebrate the city sky
celebrate your friends 'cos one day you'll discover
everything is gonna die
every woman is a queen, except the queen who's just a woman, one who takes too much loving
resolve
evolve

It’s hauntingly beautiful and conjures up intense emotions.

A group that I know only too well, I’ve been with them for nearly 30 years; from their Glaswegian basement origins to their current status as Arena band. My enthusiasm for their later output may have tempered somewhat as the mighty ‘Gwai evolved their sound to avoid pigeonholing, but there is nothing better than when they lay waste to a venue via the sheer euphoria of ‘Helicon 1’. They’re still devastating live and, after all those years, THE authority in Instrumental Rock music.

I love the album and am making some deep grooves in Way of the World, Riverside, Sidewinder and This is Our Year. But I especially love Holiday in the Sun, as it’s so relaxing and relatable…
