Deep in the country
The factories hide
Where they make the missiles
That run our lives.

Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait...
The Earth began to cool,
The autotrophs began to drool,
Neanderthals developed tools,
We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
Math, science, history, unravelling the mysteries,
That all started with the big bang!

At a time when, yet again, the newspapers and media are making the news instead of reporting the news, this song from Billy Bragg seems very topical.

Someone's hiding in the bushes with a telephoto lens
While their editor assures them, the means justify the ends,
Because we only hunt celebrities and it's just a bit of fun
But the Scousers never buy the Sun.

Just reach out your hand [and] I will pull you through
[And] at the other end I'll be waiting there for you.
You are not alone; you are not alone,
If there's anything that I can do.

Well well well, oh well.
Well well well, oh well.

I took my loved one out to dinner,
So we could get a bite to eat,
And though we both had been much thinner,
She looked so beautiful I could eat her.
Well well well, oh well...

Pressure pushing down on me,
Pressing down on you. No man asks for.
Under pressure that burns a building down,
Splits a family in two,
Puts people on streets.
