Talking to Birds
03:33
|
|||
I like to talk to the boss
to the CEO, to the Director
I like to talk to the man
Something is not right
I like to talk to the Mayor
to Minister, to the President
and the Queen, about the powers,
and the powers, and the power-less
But mostly I just end up – talking to Birds
TALKING TO BIRDS
I like to talk to my father
to my mother, to my brothers
to all the ones alive and I like to talk to you
I like to talk to that girl
to a good friend
I like to talk to strangers
I like to talk to many!
I’m ‘talkative’
But mostly I just end up – talking to Birds
TALKING TO BIRDS
When I talk they
Flick their wings
Tweak their heads
And curiously look you straight into your eyes
After a good chat – listen to how we sing
I like to talk to a priest – about his delusion
to the devil – about his deeds
to God – about his absence
Hi there Jesus – come down for a chat
Let’s walk – the talk with Buddah and Muhammed
Scientist have tried, so have the rationality and hope
But we can’t seem to make them listen
So welcome to you – the boss of the Pope
I get claustrophobic by all those closed minds
And end up talking to birds
And I’ve been talking to trees
Been buzzing with bees and barking with dogs
(I like straight talk!!)
They listen,
To what the heart has to say
They are not afraid to read
What the eyes are telling
Listen - Together we sing:
Please help us!

Do you find yourself a Kiwi, bound to the ground?
Raise your voice and sing out loud
Make yourself a bird
Open your wings and fly away
Bring that Birdy (bring back)
Bring back birdy, (bring back) bring that song back
From there, down and under
to the top of the world
From the liberated hearts,
to the hopeful souls
Make yourself megaphone
Open your mouth and scream out your heart
Sing of the colors
Sing of the wonders
Sing of the hearts
Sing for this loving, living planet
Sing it out load
Bring that birdy, (bring back) bring that song back
Bring back birdy, to sing that song for us
Bring that birdy, (bring back) bring that song back
Bring back birdy to sing, that song for us
Sing of the courage
Sing of the struggle
Sing of the blood
Sing for this loving, living planet
Bring that birdy, (bring back) bring that song back
Bring back birdy, (bring back) to sing that song for us

Do the Rich..?
03:03
|
|||
Do rich people feel the same way as I do?
Do they feel happy, do they feel love,
do they feel the heat and cold?
Do rich people have many pairs of shoes?
I guess not, what would they do with those?
With only 2 feet and 10 toes
Do rich people walk far every day?
I guess so, big city is far from here
But still they only got 2 feet for their shoes
But who am I to say how far the rich make on foot?
Maybe life is telling them – to take many steps
On 2 feet with shoes
Do the rich people feel the same way as we do?
It’s difficult to catch their thoughts, to see their eyes
Is that Cause I can’t read and write?
But once I read that heart of sorrow
She gave me bread; maybe she’ll be the one
To take me home tomorrow
We are so very different – the rich and us
Even more so than black and white,
More apart than right and wrong
But we are all breathing, we are breathing
The same air
I wish I could to try to be rich,
To learn their secrets and what makes them tick
In the end I may just return to be me
Shoeless but with 2 feet that are free

Change your Culture
03:36
|
|||
It is time to wake up
The sun is shining – straight into your eyes
Open them up!
And see the beauty – of the planet Earth
The only one of its kind – a pale blue dot –
As far as we can
See – how the seed is planted
To grow a future on a different set of values –
Join the crowd on the move
Take courage to forge
Embrace the culture of
Change!
Change your culture
Change your path
Clean your head
And think with your heart
Change your culture
Change your path
Change your mind, and
Change your heart

Moving on
04:23

Don’t like your shoes
Just buy some other ones
Don’t like your look
Just buy another one
Don’t like your face
Just buy another one
Don’t like your life
Yeah, Just buy another one
Maybe your shoes are to small
Maybe life to big for you
Who is to blame
For you head getting thick and your heart loosing flame?
Do you really want a change?
Or just find another excuse to remain the same
The world is spinning and you are it
How could all you touch turn in to shit?
Maybe, just blame gravity – and avoid being free
So you say; It is time to move on
Leave all behind
To get a new bike
To get a new wife
To get a new life
And your own personal ‘castle in the air’
Get a new life
Get a new life
Get, get, get – the thumb out of your ass!
The world is poor, and you are a shit
Is that all there is to it?
Maybe you are the gravity? – is that what you want to be?
Do you really want a change?
Or just having fear for all things remaining the same
So, you’ve joined the cult of moving on
Leaving the joy all alone
Running around
In search for greener pastures – you may be loosing your heart
Why not just stop?
Look around for a while – discover that secret smile
Take a look around - what do you see?
Don’t like your shoes
Feel the grass with out them
Don’t like your look
Read another magazine
Don’t like to change
Look into your past
Don’t like your wife
Look into her eyes
Don’t like you life
Anyway, you’ll be staying here for a while
(So say; )
It is time to a stay put
Nurture what there is
Rock the core
Grab the day
Life the joy
Is it time to leave?
Or is it time to live?

When my thoughts
Drifts through times that has past
I feel pain - and
die - a little again (bit)
and kill those moments
Of beauty
That was so hard to find
When my eyes
See happiness
I feel sad And
die a little again
By the hand of the great design
Keeping goodness locked in a box
And I forget
that’s one way - To stop
Seeing those tears
Of justice being sacrificed
By righteous powers
Of men
Leaving a hole in hearts
When I see your
Hearts - screaming out load and clear
I close my eyes
when we die a little again
(And together we die – a little again)
It is killing the living
It is stealing your breath
And I’m - just out looking for a little pill –
to take it away
Please, take me away
I always believed that sunshine and air
Belonged to all
For each of us a share
And I believed that the past
Belonged to the past
And that life was for the living
But we die, and we die,
Again, and again
Please take away the pain

It’s so lonely here to day
Everybody left but I had to stay
But I can still - see them over there
Living in this artificial sphere
It is a kind of bubble
Built on shit and 911 rubble
They bought feeding tubes for their eyes
To find pleasure in all those lies
They got feeding tubes straight into their hearts
Injecting simulated happiness
Or maybe there is something matter with me ?
– being the one that’s unhappy

We are the screw-ups
03:13
|
|||
Do you think that life is too big?
Do you find your soul is too small?
Like that insect’s stuck on the wrong side of the road
In this world where size does matter
Crossing over may turn you into splatter
For what? Apart for being alive
I’m hiding out in that safe little hole
Things look big and scary when you are too small
But the world is spinning anyway
I’m an alien that’s not very brave
Out looking for - another spaceship – to take – me - away
We are the screw-ups
Trying to unscrew and open up
Life’s a gamble with your heart
The rules state you got to play your part
So it got buried down, you see – I am pretty smart
Now when it peaks out wanna see the light
Its painful, it is too bright!
Lock it up - through the key away
The world is spinning away
Hold on to your love if you wanna stay
Or maybe it is for best that we just go away…
We are the screw-ups
Wanting to unscrew and open up
We are the weirdoes
Trying to undo and redo

After the Ice
03:44
|
|||
We got the spring
With all its romances
We have summers
That brings us light
And the autumn with all its yields
the winters to get us closer together
We got flowers - we got trees
We got cold showers and we get flees
We got sunshine, and rain and all kinds of weather
But what will we get – after the ice
After the Ice
We got flowers we got trees
We got warm showers and we get flees
We got sunshine, and rain and all kinds of weather
But what will we get – after the ice
After the ice
mmmm
Farwell….
I hope for hearts – warmed by the seas
Like a lonely one I know – praying for release
To let the love - out of the cold
Before it grows to bitter and to old
The sun is starting to show its heat
And life as we know it - is put into retreat
Oh dear Gaia – what will be you price?
To give us a new chance - After the ice
After the ice

Feelsome

|

Watch your heart as it grows – into becoming FeelSome
And the justice will not be alone, for long
Wake up to your senses
and undress those malice prepenses
Open that box of chocolate
Sweet tasting tools for a future planet
Wondrous forbidden apples –take a bite!
Rebel for your heart – this is a battle
Watch our hearts as they grow - into becoming FeelSome
And the power will not be alone, for long

It is raining
02:31
|
|||
A heart is beating and,
The head starts spinning
Death is cheating and
and you cant seem to win
Then it starts to rain
Those are tears of pain
It is raining inside
It is raining
It is raining
It is raining inside
And when it is raining inside
It start to pore down outside
A soul storm light turns red
BACKING:
Its raining
Its raining
Its raining outside
It is raining
It is raining
It is raining inside
It is raining
It is raining
Soul storm - turns red
Are you looking - for your umbrella?
Grease for your heart – to make it water repellent?
But there is no defense
Cause it doesn’t make any sense
To let the world drown in torrential rain
And its raining
and its raining
and raining in Shanghai
And when it is raining in the east
The west releases its beast
And there is a draught in Africa
BACKING:
It is raining
It is raining
It is raining Shanghai
It is raining
It is raining
It is raining in Africa
IT IS RAINING HERE
IT IS RAINING THERE
BUT NOTHING GROWS
CAUSE THE ATMOSPHERE
IS FUCKED

We are the GAIAbilities
02:08
|
|||
(Believe it or not)
We got one chance,
or maybe 2
And there is no way
too be in doubt what to do
Get it together!
Enjoy the current weather
I tell you,
Billions of species and
plants and even rocks - knows better
As the icecaps disappears
your dearest deepest fears
Gets drunk,
On a billon barrels of junk
Grab a spade, dig your grave
Or sing along
in our song
We are the GAIA
GAIAbilities
Gathering and protecting the surviving humilities
We are the GAIA
GAIAbilities
Fighting for all the remaining possibilities
We are here we are there
It is us that make the atmosphere
We are bugs, we are bees
Rocks, mountains and trees
As the living is dying slowly
Your dearest deepest heart
Gets cold and lonely
And needs a new start
Grab that mic, dig your life
and sing along
in our song
We are big, we are small
We are everything and all
We only are together
Let’s not change the weather...

Do me sti cated

|

DO – ME – STI –CATED
There is a - price on your being
To get “house trained’ and – to stop barking
Keep on dreaming of your heart as being pure
Bones are thrown to dogs – to tempt and to lure
You’re….. being - Do – me – sti – cated!
At the end of the production line
You got to re-wire and re-design
Your mind
Re-domesticate!

Mind your head
01:31
|
|||
The werewolves are coming to town
With cameras, crews and laptops
To bring you down
Mixing some facts in this fictional blender
Flashes, headlines - are you tender?
Mind your head
Heard the headlines of the day?
Now, get down on your knees and pray
Mind your head
It is Demo-crazy in your ears
Feel the anxiety – feel the fear
Ready for the real stuff
We bring you –Britney and her tears
While the planet is heating
Your eardrums take a beating
And senses are hit with cheating
Mind your head
I say:
-Get some ear protection
-Turn of your TV
-Fuck this dis-information
Save your head
To much Demo-crazy and your dead
Mind your head!

Flying Saucers
01:51
|
|||
Catch that thought
Before it leaves for the planets
Grab that thought
Before distracted by Venus
Keep that though tight
Away from the gravity of Jupiter
Or it disappears into that deep space black hole...
Oh, no
The Flying saucers
Are landing on your head
Taking that moment of clarity - away
Trouble again on this pale blue dot
Heads fills up with junk and pot

Whakaraahia!
02:27
|
|||
This is a whakaaraara-pa, or night sentinel chant of the famous Rauparaha's Ngati-Toa warriors, a song composed on the west coast of the North Island, and bearing in its ringing words memories of the surf-beaten coasts of Mokau and the lofty cliffs of South Kawhia:—
Whakaarahia!
Whakaarahia!
E tenei pa!
E tera pa!
Kei apitia koe ki te toto.
Whakapuru tonu,
Whakapuru tonu
Te tai ki Harihari.
Ka tangi tiere
Te tai ki Mokau.
Kaore ko au
E kimi ana,
E hahau ana,
I nga pari ra
Piri nga hakoakoa,
E kau oma tera.
Ka toa atu tera
Ki tua.
E-l-a ha-ha!
Ka ao mai te ra
Ki tua.
E—i—a ha-ha!
(Translation.)
Arise, arise,
O soldiers of the fort!
Of this pa and of that,
Lest ye go down to death.
High up, high up, the thundering surf
On Harihari's cliffs resounds,
And loud the wailing sea
Beats on the Mokau coast.
And here am I, on guard,
Seeking, searching, peering,
As on those rocky crags
The sea-hawk sits
And watches for his prey,
Oh! dauntless be.
Soon will the sun
Rise flaming o'er the world!

Stay true to your empathy
Stay true to your solidarity
Stay true to People and Planet
