Again, Fishing in the River Ah, Fool! All I See All Down the Kitchen Sink Bleeding at the Edges Blink in Eternity The Cosmic Seam Deep in the Flow Deep in the Flow II A Deep Sleep Did You Know? Do You Remember That Place? Dreams An Empty Stage Hasten To Every Step If I Could Put Into Words I Looked Into the Sky Tonight In As Many Ways I See You In Every Mask Just Music Lay This Head To Dawn Let's Meet Where No-one Thought To Meet Before Lint on a Trouser Leg Love's Song Magical Snagical Candy Ride The Mushrooms Night Is Waiting No Idea No Neighbours None of Them Will Do Nothing Leads You Away No Truth On A Row Of Straw Playful Rainbow Reflected Ribbon Silence Between the Strokes Sister A Slice of Cheese Something Always One Step Away Somewhere A Bell Rings So This Is Supposed To Be The End? Strolling Into Unknowing This Body Shakes A Thousand Nights To Feel It All Under The Field A Heart Is Beating Unknow Me Why Do You Ask? Why Do You Wander? Within A Few Millimetres You, You, You

Pushers (by Swifty Flame-Anderson)

Let's make more of stuff that folks don't need.
Let's advertise to fuel their greed.
Let's make them feel not good enough
Unless they buy our shiny stuff.

And every year let's make a change,
Bring out a new exciting range,
So the thing just bought is thrown away
And cash keeps flowing our way.

Let's prey on people's stupid pride,
Make them envy neighbours either side
And run a never ending race,
A pointless new possession chase.

Let's make them think their self-esteem
Depends on this consumer dream.
Let's keep them wanting more and more,
Never knowing quite what for

Let's drink a toast to stupid mind
That seeks and seeks but cannot find
And the ease with which it is controlled
To keep our coffers full of gold.

TV, bill-boards and the press
All help to keep them in this mess.
They really have so little clue.
They'll even pay for those things too!

So what if Mother Earth is dying?
You won't find any of them crying.
The anaesthetic for regret
Is a 54 inch TV set!

So what if fellow humans starve
While their Sunday roast they proudly carve?
It's not their problem anyway.
The paper said so, didn't they?

Raise a toast and drink with me
To consumerism slavery.
Keep them quiet and keep them paying
And saying what we want them saying.

Everybody raise your glasses
To the folly of the shopping classes,
So stuck in the consumer trap
They keep on falling for this crap!

"Having the fewest wants, I am nearest to the gods."
Socrates
