1.
As we rush to the exit, like the building’s on fire The last people standing on the circus high wire
2.
N(O)ne 04:48
And you grow and grow and you grow And you find competencies, and you're beaten down, and you rise again and again And you love And you make the rhythmic pumping energy that attracted you here in the first place And so it goes and so it goes Another generation, another One.
3.
It's about walking the sand, going to hear a band It's about walking past the grim army of veterans wrecked by war, smoking and cursing: Is this what we fought for? For boys dressed like girls with long hair and curls Who rush to see a band with electric guitars? Who don't know how we suffered and gave our youth So they can be young, so their song can be sung. Ha! Is that it?
4.
Run Not Walk 03:40
Run it to the bleeding edge, run it to the max Run it to the borders, run across the tracks Don't stop to take water Don't stop to take breath Run for your life and outrun your death (Since the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the lyrics have taken on other meanings.)
5.
We will ride down to Lost Vagueness in the desert on the moonscape We will stake our wages on the tables sometime well past midnight Or maybe in the morning as the chemtrails etch the bright blue sky As pamphlet porn blows away on the arid wind We will spin the wheel of fortune for good must come from this
6.
RelaxRelax 05:27
Fish full of microbeads oceans full of dead fish People full of deathwish Machines that can think Machines that think they can think The best of all worlds
7.
We’re as sweet as baby seals Waddling to the slaughter Club us drub us skin us It’s all that we deserve
8.
Gotyu 04:12
Remember that you opted in we didn't twist your arm So don't pretend to be surprised or reach for the alarm This train is going nowhere and it’s getting there real fast The future is already here, forget about the past We know what we like and we like that you know it But the logic of the situation says you're going to blow it
9.
VBux 04:38
Buy me the clothes to live in, in this digital world So I will not go online naked into the game without special powers Give me the VBux to make me invulnerable Give me the good luck to gain me perfection Cloak me in sparkling array and cancel rejection
10.
And meanwhile, the oceans were dying Meanwhile, the forests were being deforested Meanwhile, the air was becoming filthy Meanwhile, whole species disappeared It's like a kind of apology to all the grandchildren And the coral reefs and all that stuff Because it's not that we didn't care, but just that we didn't know
11.
Now people were going someplace Wearing holiday hats and floral shirts To signify their status as escapees from the prison islands, the plague pits It was so long, so so long, we couldn't go for burgers or buy new shoes But now the sky is open We can feel the sky is opening up As the sky cows call across the clouds showing us the way Pointing their noses towards business as usual Like nothing ever happened It's just business as usual
12.
When you're in love You will do most anything Rob bullion from a central bank And part the waters of the sea Write songs that don’t rhyme And sing them like they do Because when you're in love, you're in love And that's all that you feel

about

The third of occasional albums by virtual band harefield. All contributors were remotely located and unable to listen to the developing tracks. Thank you to everyone for 'flying blind' and for your trust. Chance and good fortune played quite a big part too.
