One of the Green Things

One of the Green Things

One of the Green Things

One of the Green Things
One of the Green Things
You come here baby and tell me that I’m green
Expecting me to be so grateful to you
But pardon me if I’m not what you see
I’m not green I’m yellow and blue
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I am not just green
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I am not just green
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I’m not just one of the green things
I am not just green
I am not just green

Confusion Rains
04:01
|

Here I am again
And inside your head
Caressing, caressing, caressing away your care
Caressing, caressing, caressing away your care
Here I am again
Hands behind your eyes
Caressing, caressing, caressing away your dreams
Caressing, caressing, caressing away your dreams
Ah, how well you know me
Confusion, ahhh confusion
You wonder how much more you can take
You wonder how much more you can deliver
You wonder how much more you can be forced to partake
Caressing, caressing, caressing away your care
Caressing, caressing, caressing away your dreams
Here I am once more
Caressing, caressing, caressing away your personality
Caressing, caressing, caressing away your love
Erosion, erosion, erosion, erosion, erosion

Big Men
06:18
|

Big Men hold our fates in their manicured hands
And say things to which we are deliver
An awesome sense of will abounds
When Big Men speak their throats are coal mines
Coal Mines
Their crocodile tears are beads of sweat
Dripping from the armpits of a million, million minions
Who work all their lives in order to buy their lives back
From the Big Men
From the Big Men
Playground sounds bring a preference for harsher noises
For clashing gears and metal in a tall sprung
Whose violent mechanism rules with gathering incantation
To whom human is enslaved for greater good
And the word of the central body is law
And the law is always but policy
Neatly arranged
And carefully voted for
Of course
Oh man
Do not love your machine
Oh man
Do not love your machine
Oh man
Do not love your machines
Your machines
Your machines
Your machines
Your machines
Your machines

Somewhere Here
06:01
|

Somewhere here
The garden lies
Its colours violent
Patterns broken
Silted under
Somewhere here
The garden lies
Tipping barrows left
Sprawled sideways
Turning eyes
Whose colour blue
Is mirrored sifting sicknesses
Grey, but it was beautiful
Grey, but it was beautiful
Grey, but it was beautiful
Somewhere here
The wreckage of
Ninety-odd years of people's lives
Being knocked down
Knocked down
Knocked down
Knocked down
Knocked down
Knocked down
Knocked down
Knocked down
Knocked down
Somewhere here
I smell gas escaping
Somewhere here
I hear the water bubbling
Hubble bubble, hibble bubble
Hubble bibble, bubble hibble
Bibble bubble bub bub bubble bubbling
Out of broken pipes
In the wreckages
Somewhere here
I hear six-year-old children telling each other to "fuck off"
Somewhere here
I feel a tear
Trickling out of the weed-grown pavement
Speaking of what might have been
Somewhere here
I sense the need for love
Somewhere here
I sense the need for love
Somewhere here
I sense the need for love
Here them somewhere
Where them somewhere
Here them somewhere
Somewhere here
Here them somewhere
Where them somewhere
Here them somewhere
Somewhere here
Here them somewhere
Where them somewhere
Here them somewhere
Somewhere here
Here them somewhere
Where them somewhere
Here them somewhere
Somewhere here
Here them somewhere
Where them somewhere

Where them somewhere
Here them somewhere
Where them somewhere
Here them somewhere
Somewhere somewhere here

Hope Hospital

Oh Lord once more I place myself
Quiet and semi-conscious of my illness
For what I pray for this I pray
The peace of heart and mind
Found in your stillness
Where I am too loud
Solemn pride still holds me back
Set in a mould I cannot crack
So many things to face up to
The distances I culture stand between us
Long, drawn and cold
The petri dish of scavenged sin
Desiring in the end a touch of healing
So appealing
You looked at me with tears
You washed away my fears
With the promise of
Hope hospital
You know my every need
You let compassion bleed
I need the cure of your
Hope hospital
Oh Lord my understanding fails
A long, long time before it brings me near you
However I try
My soul is blinded for your light
A state of shock from breeding little evils
Which work on the sly
Let your presence pull
The body beautiful
Cross and crash into
Hope hospital
Riding demons too
Could want to tell the clue
That to Jesus is
Hope hospital
A greater love is in the world
A love with such capacity for knowing
Shadows of the secret dreams
Betray the presence of a spirit glowing
Knock on the door
To know I'll let you in
To quell the dancing din
Casualty back in
Hope hospital
And you I ask you how
Accept it simply now
All along in a Hope hospital
This soul an empty cup
This soul is offered up
For blood transfusion in
Hope hospital
The soul of all mankind
The blind that lead the blind
Cure confusion in
Hope hospital
Across the gap of time
Across the web of crime
Across the border to
Hope hospital
You are the cup of pain
You are the quenching rain
You are the body of
Hope hospital
Hope Hope Hope hospital
Hope Hope Hope hospital
Hope Hope Hope hospital
Hope Hope Hope hospital
Hope Hope Hope hospital
Hope Hope Hope hospital
Hope Hope Hope hospital

I Don't Believe You

You’re trying to tell me
That there is nothing on the other side
You’re trying to tell me
That we should give up hope
You’re trying to tell me
That it’s a big black hole
You’re trying to tell me
That it’s all a waste of time
Thanks for your friendship, anyway
But I don’t believe you, must say
You’re trying to tell me
That there is nothing we can do
You’re trying to tell me
All horizons are false
You’re trying to tell me
That’s there is nothing that we can mean
You’re trying to tell me
That all in all it’s just a hoax
Thanks for your friendship, anyway
But I don’t believe you, must say
You’re trying to tell me
There is absolutely nothing left
You’re trying to tell me
That what we had is dust
You’re trying to tell me
That this life is all for nothing
You’re trying to tell me
That there is nothing in yours
Thanks for your friendship, anyway
But I don’t believe you, must say

Isn't it amazing?
God became man and got nailed to a tree
Isn't it amazing?
That he should come and announce himself free
Life is cheap stuff
Proclaims the Devil
Dangling deference claiming all
Behind his tall
City wall
Isn't it amazing?
How we all get so tired of living
You know God really wants us to be
Is love and share
Trust and care
To reveal
Power and money
Plots and paper
Throw them in the air
Watch the wind blow them away
But your soul
Throw that in the air
Can you then last long
With this feeling of emptiness?
I bet you can't
I bet you can't
Voices

Out in the wilderness
Voices
Voices
Out in the wilderness
Listen to the voices
What are they saying?
They are saying we are tired of ten millenniums
Of pointless bloody war
They are saying we are sick of supporting systems
Whose main concern is yellow metal
They are saying enough is enough
It's time for a change
Voices

Out in the wilderness
Listen to the voices
What are they saying?
Give us peace Give us peace Give us peace Give us peace Give us peace

Sweet Jesus believe in
We can start with dreaming
A lasting unity with God
Who has such a voice?
Who has such a voice?
I have
You have
We all have
I have
You have
We all have
I have
You have
We all have
We all have
Now is the time
Within which time
Runs out a race as gladly
Into eternity
If you feel so inclined
Christ will raise your soul and mind
Upwards out of this morass
Of mortality’s obsessions
Upwards from your flaws
Upwards through death's ceilings
Upwards out of ego
Upwards into Jesus
Upwards out of hell
Upwards towards heaven
And beyond
And beyond
And beyond

Oh you hear us
And now and then we all replace
True sentiment with nothing
But sentimentality
Oh you hear us
And now and then we all get selfish
And hurt the people we care for
And now and then
And now and then
And now and now
Forever
And when I asked
Why I did not have all the love I needed
I got my answer
I got my answer
Because I did not give away
All that I had

Refugee go aimless on to leave behind your pain
Worship cash in temporal temples
Back turned to the rain
Words rush through the air
To form a blast of sickened breath
Eyeless idols blankly stare into the solid dusk
Nostrils wrinkling on the stenches which leak put from their husks
Letting innocence be hanged and thrown down in the dust
Gathering round the big machines now left to rot and rust
Department stores sell shiny sores to stick upon your skin
Design their special goods to fall apart when you’re not in
Intricate imbalances drop earthwards shafts of light
From crushed and broken clouds whose creaking mass devours the night
Your ladies wear bright ribbons and stand baying at the moon
Your men rub ashes into their faces with a tarnished silver spoon
Men in khaki uniform perfect a reverend skill
Dictated by a bunkered big man whom knows his power drill
Doesn’t it sound crazy to you?

Underneath the face a brain

Shaped from go
But
No two hundred quid
Tramp o.k. so what are you?

It's all a matter of taste. I love this album. I love it's serenity, the beautiful instrumentation, orchestration and the great production. Ambient is not my cup of tea either, but this album crosses the borders of ambient music and prog. In other words: an awesome album!

This is an absolutely fantastic collection featuring near perfect newer run-downs of the Atlantis suite and Wedge tracks (with Rat Racing being my definitive entrance to this period, wonderful) as well as great and heavy concert sessions of The Cross and the Crucible and Sanctuary (personal favourite). My favourite bundle so far.
