Radiators 06:10
Now that we are coming up i want to shine all of the time If we could touch the heart of the sun we could be waking up together. Now that we are coming up everything seems possible you can have your head in the clouds if your hands are in the soil Don't you have problems of your own and the problems that you own always calling on the phone never leaving you alone now your status symbol's dropping like a... stone Urban human-centric sages split from nature in the neon ages simply adore potential of mind while the rivers are dammed and the mountains are mined Unity of all is the ancient sence but quality is still the main event Spirit is materials forth and hence garbage in our hearts, souls for rent Sickness on earth and there's nothing to say - dirty footprints here to stay, we've waited so long no time left to spend - return to nature's the only agenda. Package up the magic Ulterior hands grab it Package up the magic 'You're words are really ever only gonna be chat I want ta see you radiate like a russian reactor ' (chorus) Now we've hit the ground again i cannot shine through all of the grime I can't even see the sun and there is poison in the soil Now that we're forgoten again everything's impossible If we can get the hell out of here we can leave this shit together Ideal and zeal do not conceal the motivational relation/ships that sail and crush the whale with cargos of good intentions (chorus)

The experiment is over and the results are pretty bad If you want to be exploited it's the best fun you'll ever have I tried living to love everything in this environment so contrived If material gain ain't your immediate aim it's gonna be hard for you Maybe i was jumped in the gene pool by a thug in a test tube Trying to standardise the strange fruit trying to make a concentrate out of human soup I fell from the money tree it had no roots for me Tied up in security it's never been so hard to get free (chorus) As long as we keep our eyes closed we'll be decieved now And if we keep our mind shut we'll never feed it and we'll never need it Put the spiritual back in the physical word the only way now the only way home Because we are ra people and we're as free as we want to be.... TURN OFF RELAX CONSUME IGNORE everybody knows the score, pick your pockets for a rich mans war poor mans blood lying on the floor ... (chorus) I'm gonna put the whole world on ice while i roll the dice I'm gonna pay the pay the cost of living twice Just to turn the lights on in your life

Impropaganda 06:02
No one seems to realise this profit costs a thousand lives a day Deep fried and hypnotised you're guilty down to your accessory What's left of our love will lead us safely on Until our profit motivation has gone A generation of sugar blood and virtual tears Is guaranteed to feel better after a couple of beers What's left of our state medicine will dull our different minds But the only ill we've ever felt is ill defined Trashed world burned world destroyed world ignored world Child we pass down this broken world and whats left of mother nature Please don't say anything now you can thank us later (chorus) Now the good shit has gone how can we ever belong What looked like shite was a pure delight Now the earth is a concrete copyright Re-arranging the beautifull chaos into an empty new layout Flush the fashion with the payout This progress has got me feeling way out Am i just a red rag to your bullshit (Chorus)

Show me into you i want to be with you Roll away the stone i want to love you You sounded not quite fair and square when i recieved your telegram Gently jilted slightly tilted partly parallelogram She tried to blame it on me for a lack of sympathy An ocean of pain was her history She wants to give it to me We had a drug love and the mountains up above us When i came back down you were nowhere around Taking your love to town (chorus)

Vibrations 05:59
"Folks, it's time to evolve ideas,the reason our institutions are crumbling is because they are no longer relevant. We have minds that can imagine anything..we are undergoing evolution... Even though we love you we have to reach above you. I, on the other hand am an evolved being who deals solely with the source of light which exists in all of us in our own minds - no middle man required ...but anyway..(Bill Hicks) Even though we love you we have to reach above you And now i've got to know me it's time for me to show me what's to know Even though we love you it's time for us to reach above. But you know there is a LIVING god who will talk directly fucking to you...

Black Mind 05:34
Shouting shouting and knashing of teeth Your gods are devils and it's beyond belief You fucked up your cultures fundamentaly ill You can't get released you can't get released and you don't know yourself enough to try 'free will' There is one true dog and his name is bark Barking mad aroud the park Telephone marketing and pyramid sales Born into shite off of the rails (was that alright for you George ? - that was beautifull mate ! ) That's right now throw us erections excitement for bones and we'll pretend not to care that you've taken our spiritual homes The celestial ancestrial mother of all sons is shining out of everyone And everything and the non thing the right things and the wrong things The wize and the wild will be decended from our smiles And yet the fathers of fake faces will run the human race down to it's knees Untill we're picking plastic apples from their family trees 'Well i haven't loved but i have lost,although i have really paid the cost It wasn't cheap but i'm on my feet and i'm trying hard now just to be sweet But my brain still thinks and taste still stinks into debauchery eventualy i will Jump or i will fall and i'll stop hiding behind Jeesus and i'll say fuck you all' So baby come on, if you want to take me home Because another few hits on that bong and you'll be taking down the big white telephone Yea baby come on now i'm feeling like about to explode Your dyslexic love is saying 'put the mommacuffer where you to go ' (chorus) It's a black black mind that you live in and it's far to late too late to redecorate

Lev' 07:16
My soul survives on a unique and freaky part of ground And when your standard eyes homogenise i'm gonna spread my language 'round . R&B and shopping malls go so well together endorsements of consumer kind Blind fat teathered - hip hop sweat shop situation Sing of bling bling exploitation We must maintain our flexibility amid such hostility Iconoclastic dogma central Stunted funda fuckin' mental Ego maniacs they're building poverty traps How can we really forgive you when you're taking our future with you When reality and government have been removed from you and me The waves of corporate controll will rise up from consumer seas Help me Help me I'm almost in the water I'm looking for the door to esoteric soul but everybody mind controll When i oil the wheels of my killing machine It's with the blood of the future and the cream of obscene I'll give you poison mind, turn your money to time Turn your circles to lines, your love into crime I've got god on my side and the word is me So open up your brain and suck my dictionary I change the human truth into cruci-fiction I make William Words worth only urban addiction Don't touch the lev' , don't touch the lev' You can't afford it mate, so don't do it again. (you're 'avin' a fakin girraafe incha mate?)

I know it looked like something I know it sounded like something I know it feels like something But nothing actually happened After the samples ceace The money is counted And the crowd are released You'll see that you have been fleeced By a technological dreamcoat Pulling the bullshit over your eyes The gilded decay cannot disguise The vacuum in our culture The boxes in our minds Have left us confined 'I'm going on holiday, it's going to be nice , i'm taking the wife and the kids and the rest of my life , i'm going to learn how to fix things and make stuff that lasts, so that in the future the present can come from the past .' (chorus) There is a world outside, there is a world .. When you think it's out of sight it blinds you You try to hide away it blinds you Urban decay, the American way Plastic fantastic flashy and drastic There is a world outside there is a world.... Give me the elements of water earth air and fire, Throw in conspiracies and miracles and a pissed up quior And lift my wings with the palpitations and the skin of the teeth of political liars and fly me on back to universal nature from the heresy of mankind If there's one thing more important than the health and safety of you and i, It's the continued existance of a corporate sign in the night sky Can you dance to the beating of the metropolitan policing There's no doubts they come to fight They'll kick you through your human rights Swine protecting neon lights Though it has played many a role will the story ever be told That this faith was mind controll, but who could be so bold to say There was poison in our perception, a highjacking of our direction, At the almightys' behest they were decieved to their deaths What dignity would be left if this god was to confess? Would the powers that be atop the christmas tree claim exemption from redemption, exploitations never mentioned, the universal energy that flows through stars and you and me demands that organisationally this god be unchained and set free. (chorus) There is a world outside.......

about

"....Now, rather excitingly, the musical maverick is back. Empowered by t’internet, a new generation of musicians can be as experimental as they like without having to worry about how it sounds to an A&R man. One such artist is Pilgrim Speakeasy, who combines the funkadelics of Parliament with a political and mystical message, the likes of which HOLV has never heard..."
