Who Do You Play With?

If I ventured out in the morning. If I try to catch a feeling. If I try to fathom that great dancing God. He's watching thunder crack. Through my clear logical eyes, reading the signs. Turn on the water brother and bottle His grace. We're a disgrace. "Do with me what you please". Tell me who do you play with. Tell me who do you kiss. Stay right there, don't move, I've got a bad wish. Tell me what's your name, who do you kneel for. Tell me whose cold hand holds your face. I get so damn high I float away when I see you this way. If I try to fathom that great dancing God, He's watching thunder crack right across your back. "In candlelight I lay with thee". Tell me who do you play with. Tell me who do you kiss. Stay right there, don't move, I've got a bad wish. Tell me what's your name, who do you kneel for. Tell me whose cold hand crosses your face. I get so damn high I float away when I see you this way. Be a good girl now.

Psychogeography

I've been wondering round with my map upside down. Admiring these monuments to greed where cold eyed vampires feed. All the inanimate objects are sleeping in the office. Who's that in the darkness asleep beneath the arches? Oh my God! I lost my heart in the age of modernity. Psychogeography. In winter rain I felt the shame on an urban topography, psychogeography, alright. All of the men sat down at their machines in Flint, Michigan. It was heard for miles around "They're changing up the system!" Oh my God! I lost my heart in the age of modernity. Psychogeography. In winter rain I felt the shame on an urban topography. psychogeography, alright. Oh my God! I lost my heart way out in modernity. Psychogeography. In winter rain I can hear the pain of an urban demography, psychogeography, alright.

Arthur Eddington

I received a letter from behind enemy borders, with a picture of nature made out of curved lines and numbers. It was calling into question all that I had seen with my eyes. I'm a peaceful neighbour and the General points a finger. Tell me, how many will die running at machine guns for you? I will make this journey...Here I go! To a lonely corner of the globe where a distant light bends round the sun I am told. I dream of Galileo, he's hauled up to a cell. He's covering his ears from the sound of the shells. I just can't abide, let me run and hide away. I will make this journey...Here I Go! To a lonely corner of the globe where a distance light bends round the sun I am told. "Oh Arthur please will you explain how the tiny movements in my brain and the shape of outer space have brought us to this place?" I will make this journey...Here I go! To a lonely corner of the globe where a distant light bends round the sun I am told.

I'll Come Running
04:58

I saw you from afar and called your name
You got into the car and pulled away
I knew that I would never be the same
With my hand upon my heart I pray
You will never be unsafe
Slay your demons with one strike
Of your cold blade
I woke up in the fever of a dream
That we were only seventeen
You held me tight and whispered
"I will always be there"
When the odds against you stack up high
When the corners take you by surprise
I'll come running
As the sun was rising on the lake
I was so high I could not communicate
You gathered up your things and went inside
By the light of day
When I can see every line of your face
I know it will always be this way
I'll come running
If you ever start to come undone
If you never love another one
I'll come running

Apple Seed

A man I knew who lived in Central America asked if there was time to get out of the way of the snow. Upon questioning it turned out he thought the snow fell all at once like a big white blanket. My friend Peter swallowed an apple seed in the playground. A look of terror went across his face. Hes said "I know the seed won't grow into a tree inside of me, but I'm scared of the hospital. Tell me I don't have to go ever again!" I won't get back my time. Things I know change right before my eyes. Hey, it's a wonderful life. A brand new van rolled into a hedge in the car park. The tension was too great, the cable gave way. All the wedding guests gathered round and pushed and pushed and pushed to get it out so the band could go home back to bed. I won't get back my time. Things I know change right before my eyes. Hey, it's a wonderful life.

Sound of Thunder

I found an old three-wheeler in a magazine ad. I saved up the money it was all that I had. I know all the features like the back of my hand and I drive around the only roads that I'll ever know. Never wanted to escape the comfort of home. When the lunar eclipse left me all on my own I felt the pain the same as any man with a fancy degree whose waking scenes could be my wildest dreams. He holds his broken heart for all to see when he cries. I never wanted to rock the boat. It's been rocking fine all on its own. I get nervous every time I hear the sound of thunder! I've been told to be clear when I speak. Using my voice, it isn't easy for me. I think I feel the world differently most of the time. But my heart is the same don't you ever forget, and I haven't found what I've been looking for yet. You know my old three-wheeler's got a passenger seat right by my side

First Contact

Somewhere high up above us, far beyond the trees. Three young explorers hover over fields of green.
"I'm not sure boys, I think we better leave these loud, violent brutes to live alone with their disease"
Captain I'm not talking just about some flashing lights, No, I saw a sleek flying machine I ain't seen nothing like. I cried "Mayday! Mayday! There's something in the sky!" Contact made in the blink of an eye

Vienna Circle
04:14
|

|
The Vienna Circle was a group of philosophers who met weekly in Vienna in the 1930s. They famously questioned the very meaning of our attempts to articulate knowledge, asking how can we find out if a statement is true or false. Does a statement really mean anything if there is no way of knowing if it's true? Many of the group were Jews and socialists who fled the Third Reich. Founding member Moritz Schlick remained in Vienna and was murdered by a former student suffering mental illness. Under Nazi rule his murderer was released following an appeal which described the Jewish teacher's ideas as 'alien and detrimental to the nation'.
lyrics
Close. We are very close to certain destruction. Lies bewitch and terrorize this bleeding continent. With ink and electric light, I write signs and symbols. I know I must leave Vienna to run from this evil. Holding Europe's words up high to the light of reason, I can't identify truth or meaning.
