WHAT THE OCEAN FEELS
Say hello to the ocean,
Say hello with your mind
Say hello to the ocean,
Say hello with your body
It may not not want to be friends with you
And you're gonna have to roll with that
It may not want to play friendly now
Not since we used it as a dumping ground
Our ancient ancestry
Formed out of brine and solar energy
Home of life
Our first bodies swam out of here
So how would you feel,
Ignored and abused?
When you gave birth to life
And then received all of our refuse
So how would you feel, being the ocean ...
listening in?
So say thank you to the ocean,
Say thank you with your mind
Say thank you to the ocean, yeah,
Say thank you with your body

PLANETARY RUMPUS
Can you feel the way your DNA spirals in control?
Cosmic serpent, double helix, ancient lore
Building power from deep within the psychic core
Raising consciousness like the sun calling you at dawn.
Can you feel the invisible thread around which we surge?
Fractal dancing as the emanation of the universe
The drive to grow makes us want to lift against all the odds
But the order gets rearranged according to chaos.
The animals are dancing, I hope they’re not running out of time
The plants are all dancing, they’re reaching from the soil to the sky
The planet is dancing, it gyrates in elliptical orbs
The galaxy is dancing on the wings of the Milky Way.

The planet is dancing, it gyrates in elliptical orbs

Don’t resist the frenzy, fall into the frenzy
Don’t resist the frenzy, fall into the frenzy
Planetary rumpus, don't forget your compass
Planetary rumpus, you’ll need a new compass

GIVE IT SOME MINCE
Give it some mince
Walk that talk
Put some bounce into the way that you cross that floor
Yeah give it some mince
Feel your way into your body and let’s explore
Give it some mince
Pump that walk, yeah
Let the way that you move celebrate your life on earth ...
And give it some mince
Front up in your body, yeah
Give it some mince
Walk that talk
Get some pep into the way that you cross that floor
Yeah give it some mince
Sense the way that your body opens out through your pores
And give it some mince
Pump that walk, yeah
Let the way that you move celebrate your life on earth ...
And give it some mince
Front up in your body, yeah
Consciously evolving stardust
Rising up out of the earth
Get a sense of your embodiment
As a part of the self-aware universe
And give it some mince!
Front up in your body, yeah
We're living in an unrepeatable moment, right now

Lonely on the Catwalk
It must be lonely on the catwalk, baby; you don't have to listen to anyone
It must be lonely on the catwalk, baby; you don’t have to care
Gliding along, fuelled up with adulation
Powering on, hunger is your best friend
Posted upon, your image has become an icon
Yeah we all want you baby, want you baby, want you bad;
Yeah we all want you baby, want you baby, want you ... bad
It must be lonely on the catwalk, baby.

I Parent Myself
Well you know there were times when your mummy and daddy weren’t there
And I seem to recall there were times when they didn't even care
But this history was passed on since before the times of the fall
We were cut off from nature and that’s not no that isn’t all.
So I parent myself, again
Yes we parent ourselves, in the end.
So I'm gonna do a better job than I’ve ever done before;
Yeah we’ve gotta do a better job than we’ve ever done before.
Each generation is initiated with the wisdom that’s on hand
But now we’ve got the web we don't listen anymore to the land
It is culture that teaches us to learn to give up our blood
But it’s nature that asks us to make sure that we make the cut.
So I parent myself, again
Yes we parent ourselves, in the end.
So I'm gonna do a better job than I’ve ever done before;
Yeah we’ve gotta do a better job than we’ve ever done before.
We were left alone by this stream
Having to create a new dream
While the captains of industry sailed away
Now we’re here with all our new friends
Just enough time to make amends
Got to link up and grow through the cracks in the fence
Take control of your destiny
Join your local rebel army
Change the way that we do things immediately
Hear the voice that resounds within
All of matter and all of your kin
Got to stand up and starve out that faceless machine
Whip up all of that energy
That arises endlessly
Place awareness in potentiality
Take the cut, take the cut, take cut
Make the cut, make the cut, make the cut
Take the cut, make the cut, take the cut, make the ... cut.

Self Possession
Underneath the cover of the city,
Winged serpents begin to rise
Seeking out a way through the clutter,
They alight along our spines
When all of our movements have led us to
The chasm’s edge
What will we do?
Will we start to fly?
Will we show those serpents
The ride of their lives?
And when we need a mirror,
What will we choose?
A thoughtful remembrance,
A solitary muse?
And what will we see?
When eventually
We’re forced to recollect;
Forced to reconnect.

The Plug
I wanna hold this water, do I gotta? Yeah I oughta
But I got a screaming daughter, I gotta get my house in order
We used up all this water, now it’s dirty and it’s sordid
The toys yeah they’re my daughter’s, I gotta sort this bricks and mortar
Coz it’s in and it’s out and it’s up and it’s down
It’s all over the shop and i've gone out and bought the wrong part
Now it’s swirling around, if I slide the blade under
I can take out the broken bit and then I can get some relief, yeah, and put up my feet
If I cut it too short then I've really mucked up
But if I leave it too long I'll be doing this over again, yeah, all over again
Coz it’s in and it’s out and it’s up and it’s down
It’s all over the shop and i've gone out and bought the wrong part, again,
I've bought the wrong part
Punch out a hole, let it all go,
I fixed up a thing, now I'll go with the flow.

Way of the Future
Instead of looking for an answer
I dwell in mystery
Don't be caged by your reason
Or escapist fantasy
Monkey mind is always grasping
For the reflection of the moon
Just let go and feel the water
As it washes over you
Don't you know it’s the way of the future
Falling back in love with the earth
I tell you it’s the way of the future
Falling back in love with the earth
Instead of looking for an answer
I dwell in mystery
Don't be fooled by your reason
Or escapist fantasy
Monkey mind is always grasping
After conclusions far and wide
But don't be fooled by the sales pitch
The real riches are inside
Don't you know it’s the way of the future
Falling back in love with the earth
I tell you it’s the way of the future
Falling back in love with the earth.
Always running always seeking always hiding always fighting
Looking for some place where I don't have to hide
Some place I remember from deep inside
Always running, I don't want to hide
Always fighting, I don't need to hide ...
