Twelfth Night - Human Being lyrics

Tremulous and quivering such victims as there are Contend with emotions under skin Without wearing water wings The strike against the stream Hopelessly believing they might swim Here they all come rushing down again Here they all come rushing down again Time has hardly swallowed up the evidence How is it they say they did not know That history grows up like a weed Doctrine pinned upon it Bars across the window destroy human being Static mind solidifies Can no longer flow Up against it's borders and unable to pay much Attention to human being... When in doubt you turn to find a scapegoat on the wall Gaze into the mirror begging pardon If everytime we tell a lie a little fairy dies They must be building d**h-camps in the garden Pacing back and forwards Conscience in a box Barred in from the sunlight getting pale And losing every sense of human being.... The forces of oppression Forge links around the earth Ordering our faces to the floor The wilful non-involvement By hirelings of the crimes Is futile and inhuman as before The sum of our best efforts Shouldn't lead us back to here On the road to murder where we can no longer Admit to any Human needing human feeling Human living human loving Human fragile human being... ==================================================================== THIS CITY (Geoff Mann) The abstracted shapes of the people's thoughts Different shops and pubs All the cheap facades It is all this city it is all this city Wind shaken trees Half crumbling parks The enquiring eyes Fingers parting lace It is all this city it is all this city Long straggling queues Of the our of work A baby s**ing sweets Dribbling down his quilt It is all this city it is all this city All this city ==================================================================== FACT AND FICTION (Geoff Mann) TV is switched on The screen reveal a spokesperson Adverts politics editing the real Cheap words money talks Naming itself to be the key To utopia cornucopia To a better world you go buy and buy And if you listen carefully You can hear the bacon fly Don't make me laugh!! History shows that policy demands weapons Selfish desires simply lead to pain The chit-chat continues A big pretence that divides Into power blocks Where the orthodox Have a propaganda war to fight And if you're looking closely You can see that black is white Don't make me laugh!! If the "unthinkable" should happen And you hear the sirens call Well you can always find some shelter Behind a door against the wall Don't make me laugh!! ==================================================================== CREEPSHOW (Geoff Mann) Welcome Welcome First today to see the creepshow Come see the exhibits But do not touch They cannot bear touch Here in the freak show Please do not hang back It's hard enough to show people around The creep show The creep show First here on the rack strapped a child's virgin mind We see the careful whitecoats Affix their machines veins To the pulsing neck side Checking dials they monitor reaction She must love her daddy's banker She must love her daddy's banker For her part in the creepshow The creepshow Amanda so sad Amanda But let's brush over sadness Give her the pills And diagnose madness Give her give her give her... Amanda Amandahahahahaha Anymore for any more? Cyril has-or-might-have-been Must fill his lust They let him bayonet robots As his morning constitutional To sate his rage Unless he feels his age We can't have that Sometimes he'll watch a war-film On the moron machine in the corner of his cell Lost in time Lost in mind Cyril writhes like smoke His bigot's eyes are slashed skin Their expression none the nicer For being blank Amanda still mad Amanda Still sad... And so ladies and gentlemen we come to the nerve centre of the whole Affair, as you will see it is a mirror. To some it is the mirror of Dreams, where every pa**ion, desire and action flit through the still Spaces behind its surface, tantalising yet distant. Of these many Stand before it until d**h. To others, it is distorting, everything In it being warped and buckled by fear, yet perceived as reality These will cringe before it, wimpering and immobile, though a few Batter their skulls against the dull sheen, attempting to smash the Horrors they believe to be in the gla** or at least attain oblivion Whichever comes first. Some see just a mirror, whilst some see what At first appears to be their own image which, however, moves _them_ Saying, "Come On, Wake UP! Who's running this show anyway?" NOW It's up to you Use your free will You dec Ide Yes You you you decide Whether or not you will return For if you come again You'd better bring your ball and chain Unguided embittered attraction of The creep show The creep show The creep show ====================================================================
