Beatles - I am the Walrus

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun

And if the sun don't come you get a tan from standing in the English rain.

Goo-goo-goo-joob!

Simon and Garfunkel - Sound of Silence

Hello darkness my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

...

And the people bowed and prayed

To the climate god they made

And the sign flashed out its warning

In the words that it was forming

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

And tenement halls

And whispered in the sound of silence"

This is a very good summary of our soon to be Orchestral Manoeuvres in the DARK - 'Electricity'. And as Giorgio Moroder and Phil Oakey say, Were all in it 'Together in Electric Dreams' - that being Mad Ed's electric dreams aka our nightmare.

Merry Christmas everyone. Stay warm.

We need a revolution to bring Power to the People and there’s no better person to lead it than John Lennon

David firstly many thanks for your efforts all year in producing these thought provoking articles and shinning a spotlight on so many of the issues the race to NZ is creating.

You need to find someone who do a mash up of all those songs with images/video clips!!

Happy Xmas to you and all those contribute on the blog as that also makes it great discussion forum as well as providing lots more useful information an sources.
