1. The Collective
Yes, the day has arrived,
And the sun is up like a soldier,
Watch the old shadows fly.
From this day we are the Collective
Feel the foundations firm and strong,
All hail the banners raised on high.
Strong now in our community,
As we march and work together,
Sovereign our ideology,
Which cannot be overthrown now...
World without end.
Happy to be children of the state,
Ready to think 'We', not 'Me' anymore
We belong to ourselves,
Every one of us belongs to each other.
One...I'm always dreaming
About the beautiful number one.
Unity...dynamic unity with a will
That cannot be broken.
World without end.
The sunlight on the fields
Brings us to remembrance...
God bless this land,
Our God bless us all here.
We are the boundless ocean,
We are eternal Spring.
What is it gonna be then?
Endless revolution to evolution,
Or New Earth?
2. A Gentleman's Penny-Farthing
3. Neurosis
I will never live again in the waking world,
I pacify the mind of the Broken One,
You all got me wrong...
You don't understand,
He would never call me by that name.
Neurosis.
D'you know,
There is a man he thinks he is...
'Lover of the real',
Never satisfied with what I say,
I wish he would die,
If I had a head I'd shake it in disgust.
Neurosis.
Unclean spirit...
There was a time
The called me a minion of Beelzebub,
So what ya gonna do?
I seem to spend most of my time
Behind your enemy lines,
Well that's fine...'cause I'm here to fight.
Who is the enemy within?
Neurosis.
I will never be who I want to be,
But that's OK.
I've never never known him anyhow.
You don't know one hell of a lot, son,
Do ya?
4. When Penelope Dreams (Part One)
[Part One (Hey Sunday Girl)]
Came the day,
The angels considered Penelope,
The wondered aloud...
"Could it be that there are times when
Even dear Penelope has to face the fear?
Hey Sunday girl, we send our love...
We send our love."
5. When Penelope Dreams (Part Two)
[Part Two (Night Train)]
When Penelope dreams,
She's on a train
On the West Highland line,
She's a beautiful girl,
And it's a beautiful day...it's OK,
She knows how to behave,
She's on a train...night train now,
She's on a train on the line to nowhere.
She looks out at the stars
And thinks to herself,
There's a tendency to be born...
I know I was."
She's on a train
On the line to somewhere...
Sunday girl...we send our love.
6. From The Mine Shaft To The Bike Shed
Mineshaft
Bike shed.
7. Fundamentalist
Supreme authority, but me no buts.
Clear and deliberate, banish all doubt.
The courage to be, for you, for me.
No more uncertainty, we have begun,
Freedom and destiny...
For us they are one.
The courage to be, for you, for me,
The courage to be.
We hold in trust the liberty and the fire,
It's clear to all who see...
There's only one thing to be, baby,
In this world...
Fundamentalist
No more conformity to Vanity Fair,
No time for trivia masking despair.
The courage to be, for you, for me,
The courage to be.
Restored, revived,
Our brother's in love again.
There's no anxiety
In the apocalyptic visions
When you are
Fundamentalist
The race is not to the swift,
But the weak, the despised,
The disenfranchised,
Are the people...God's people...
The kingdom comes...
The battle is not to the strong.
8. Spanner Omlette
SEE IF WE CAN FLY,
CRACK OUR EGGS WITH A SPANNER!
(DANCE EVERYBODY!
COME ON!
ON THE DOUBLE DOUBLE!!)
TEACH US TO FLY,
CRACK OUR EGGS WITH A SPANNER!
9. Home From Home
You can call Him the Ground of Being,
You can call Him the Word, the meaning,
You can call Him Redeemer,
The courage to be is here,
And through all my hypocrisy I still see
The nail prints in his Hands...
The everlasting arms...
And even now
The thought of embrace in those arms
Is a home from home
There is peace in the depth of reason,
A strong undefined cohesion,
To the day-spring eternal,
The courage to be is here,
And through all my hypocrisy I still see
The nail prints in His hands...
The everlasting arms...
And even now
The thought of embrace in those arms
Is a home away from home.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
And to the Holy Ghost,
As it was in the beginning, is now,
And ever shall be.
10. The Age Of Reason
Autonomy
Break free from Theonomy,
The old Heteronomy,
Embrace the paradigm shift.
Welcome to the age of reason,
Welcome to the new high treason,
The Age of reason.
Into the labyrinth...
'There is never anyone but me,
but I seem to hear a voice asking about
the foundations here'.
Here is a man who knows his way around
The labyrinth of reason,
Beyond the walls he's on the road,
A very lonely road of freedom
Leading to another labyrinth.
The more unique you make yourself
The colder grows the universe.
For that and that,
A centered self is a miracle.
