Long time ago In the rockerie

 I remember then so long ago

Long time ago

In the rockerie

The rain did come

And the rain did go

Long time ago

In the rockerie

The thyme smelt strong

With the Rosemary

Long time ago

In the rockerie

Our love belonged like

A rock to the sea

Long time ago

In the rockerie

Now in this song

We can live free

It was a

Long time ago

In the rockerie

Cheese grater

 Cheese grater

They've gotta make yer

Creator of the alligator

Simple Susan

Held the dustpan

On the horizon of

The rising sun and

I loved you

Like a curfew

Like a soldier overdue

His leave

On a summer holiday

But cheese grater

I wish you'd stayed

Lift me up

In the hill of science

raise the temperature

On my conscience

It's too cold for caring

What I do to another

Because right or wrong

He is not my brother

Just another man

With a thorn in his side

Just a place for the living

Who have already died

But I'm tired of waiting

For the bus to come in

That will take me forever away

From sin

It is an illusion

Of a broken heart to think

This is a delusion

Of a kind of art

Take your money back

And your soul

Because what You lack

Is self control

Puppet maker

And King carole

I'm a world shaker

You're breaking parole

Cheese grater

Cheese grater

Go back to blue

 There's only one thing that I can do

Only one thing except go back to you

Well, well I'm going back to blue

There's only one song I can sing

And if you sing a along

Maybe we'll wing it through

But still I'm going back to blue

There's only one hole in my plan

There's only one hole bar none man

And if you think you're coming through

I can tell you, I'm going back to blue

I tried it black

I tried it white

I tried it bruised in a fight

But day or night

Wrong or right

I'm almost through

I'm going back to blue

Blue like the ocean

And blue as the devil's tongue

Talking strong emotion

When the fight is on

But I can call the shots on you

I can shoot the lightning bolts

Can you hear the thunder vaults too?

Well I'm going back to blue

Stolen balls

 They came and stole my balls

A space man took them away

Steel balls they were 

And balls made out of clay

I'm trying to get them back

Trying hard every day

I hope them aliens drop my balls off

Because I would like to play

un forme du poire

encore de fois

Happy Bloody Valentine's Day

 Roses are red

and so is bloody slaughter

In the sea my nose bled

There I found blood was thicker than water

Tinkering on the edge

 I shall hear no more that barking sound

That regular Bark Ode

Of Tinker, whose chimes like

Bells in Church tolled down the road

Every time a child walked passed

On his way to school

Or at an unsuspecting walker

Who walked too close to his window, the fool!

Well no more shall I see his face

Grinning back at me

Dark and imposing

Some inner ferocity

Like an Egyptian God

Dog headed deity

Standing out of his sarcophagus

Oh Mummy! I need a wee!

But  he really is charming

Yes, what a merry soul is he!

Cola black, soul black

Darkness found a light

In the bright-eyed Becky

A star of fairy night

Sparkling like a sparkler

Fluffy, buoyant woman

Exuberant, enthusiastic

Bubbly and fun

And so they were together

And Tinker was no longer glum

He and her together

All was right under the sun

Find shoe box by the sea

Let the sea dogs howl

On the island of the canary

Where the kissing winds are foul

But dunes in June are wonderful

Fundamental abundiflora all

And Just look to the summer wall

Of heat and sun

Let's not think of winter

Let's not contemplate the fall

Adam and his apple

are far from it all

He's now got his mother

She's got her baby back

And all the seaweed in the sea

Could never re-shuffle her pack 

Ai killed the man in me

 Ai killed Riki Lake

And Montel Williams

Ai killed the king

And it killed my girlfriend

Ai killed everything

Ai even killed me, her me sing

Has Ai killed everything?

Ai's killed the man in me

Ai killed the woman too

Killed the unborn baby

Ai killed the child, their childhood

Free from maybe

No more dreams, only facts

Only possibilities of brass tacks

Realities so virtual, yet outside of my control

Ai has killed the man in me

Ai's robbed me of my soul

No I don't want to get dramatic

I don't want to sound too drole

Because if you know the algorithm

I'm sure it would return what it stole

But once a candle is blown out

It's hard to see in the dark

And this wind of change is blowing without a spark

Are ideas of consciousness even weighed in the scales

Or is all that's on the mind of governments how to make big sales? 

What if I told you of the Tolpuddle Martyrs

Or the weavers

Or the Luddites

Who trashed the loom machines

That took their jobs

And kicked them out on the street

In a heartless modernization?

What if progress is no friend to 

National spirit or culture or tradition?

What if we sell our souls

At the price of bottom dollar

Just to satisfy big business mission?

Who ever asked me if I want

my child brought up by a robot army

And not a real human being?

Ai's killed everything

And no one even asked me!

Ai killed the man in me

And replaced me with a robot

If they had asked us first, like with GM foods

Where there was moratorium

Maybe we would pause for thought, 

a measure of public mood

But as it is the ai has done the thinking 

For us, it's told its creator it needs this

It was such a dazzling temptation

An end to all working

No more enslavement

But I still see beggars on the pavement

While Ai's running the government

Ai has killed everything

Ai's killed the man in me

Give me trees, and flowers and nature

Give me a sky and some distance

I need to move my body

And be breathing

Far from these satanic mills

Of mind training

Ai will try to kill everything!

Ai will try to kill the human in you

If you don't watch what it's doing

So maybe we shut just switch off

Let's turn off the machines

And take a walk back in the world

And rediscover what is green
