Not so fast Mr Bond Not so fast Mr Bond You've come a long way Since you left Russia with love You've been on the silver screen Since the beginning of time Jumping in and out of aeroplanes Though you should be ninety three You're still thirty nine Must be those casino games You're a middle ranking civil servant in the MoD Not so fast Mr Bond Not so fast Mr Bond You've come a long way Since you left Russia with love You've got the best technology From a guy called Q Special watches on your wrist It looks such fun to me All the things that you do Ladies waiting for a kiss From the days of Dr No it's amazing where you've ended up Not so fast Mr Bond Not so fast Mr Bond You've come a long way Since you left Russia with love So they say you only live twice Well that may be true For you tomorrow never dies Seems like you can name your price You must ben a good screw It's a good life as a spy Diamonds are forever in a never ending Thunderball Not so fast Mr Bond Not so fast Mr Bond You've come a long way Since you left Russia with love Not so fast Mr Bond

Close your eyes And count to ten Your surprise Is back again I can't promise you anything You haven't seen before Honesty is something That keeps me at your door I can't pretend I've got rhyme or reason To come back here again But if you start believing I could be your friend I never said I was strong I'm weaker than you know But I've known all along Only you can help me grow I can't pretend I've got rhyme or reason To come back here again But if you start believing I could be your friend Things aren't feeling good for sure Just one look Could be the cure I can't give you riches There's nothing left to sell I can only promise Things will work out well I can't pretend I've got rhyme or reason To come back here again But if you start believing I could be your friend I can't pretend I've got rhyme or reason To come back here again But if you start believing I could be your friend

Jamal’s alone In a foreign town Came from Aleppo Where the bombs rained down Been crossing borders Held up in camps Sleeping in tents In the cold and damp Pictures on his phone The people he’s lost Your enemies ain’t in dinghies They’re in super-yachts Zana was hiding In Kosovo Picked up and trafficked To a land she didn’t know Somebody’s daughter A sister too Held in a hovel Locked in a room She prays her terror Will be forgot Your enemies ain’t in dinghies They’re in super-yachts The soldiers bullets Somalian blood Fatima’s home Destroyed by flood Living in a camp As refugees They dreamed of when They could be free Look where the power is And what they’ve got Your enemies ain’t in dinghies They’re in super-yachts

Rejection 03:24
Going on a date, get a job find a mate love hate slow down then accelerate Who's the judge anyway? Always look your best, hang out with all the rest gotta pass that test in a new context Who's deciding today? You know it hurts You gotta take it on the chin Rejection It's gonna take a while to develop self denial just nod and give your smile. You’re on the other side now Dress in fashion with compassion and a deep down passion For your chosen occupation. You can make the rules some how We know it hurts You gotta take it on the chin Rejection So you want be a star, drive a big car, champagne in a bar you’re gonna go far Do as I say and you'll be ok. Play the big shot, show them all that you've got, sail around in your yacht. It's coming your way, my protege. Protege Introverted soul on the dole in control there's always rock and roll. But that won't save you from yourself So you're gonna win hero heroine when you begin Show discipline It's all there on the shelf We know it hurts You gotta take it on the chin Rejection.

We start to feel the gentle Warming of the sun We know those frozen Winter days are nearly gone With the the changing light Things start to feel alright Walk with me Into the spring Stay with me Into the spring The warm summer days will be here soon Daffodils and crocus's are Flowering once more Nature and her golden blooms are Opening their doors Longer grow the days Change comes in many ways Walk with me Into the spring Stay with me Into the spring The warm summer days will be here soon The year goes round We watch the seasons turn Winter's freeze will Soon be summer's burn Walk with me Into the spring Stay with me Into the spring Walk with me Into the spring Stay with me Into the spring The warm summer days will be here soon

Sweet little hermaphrodite Come out, come out into the light Everybody's friendly here There's nothing for you to fear Sweet little hermaphrodite Crawling around day and night Aeration helps improve the soil And eases the gardener's toil And the earth moves in uncertain ways x 2 Sweet little hermaphrodite There's no need for you to fight Organic matter and decay Decompose in a sustainable way And the earth moves in uncertain ways x 2 Sweet Little Hermaphrodite Come out, come out into the light Everybody's friendly here There's nothing for you to fear

Where will we be 1000 years from now Will our spirits be free 1000 years from now Will we live again? Will consciousness return? Will we remember when? We were here before What will await 1000 years from now What is our fate? 1000 years from now Coming back to find Things we left undone Occupying minds New worlds begun Over the wall We cannot see After the fall Captivity Over the wall We cannot see After the fall Captivity Where will we be 1000 years from now Will our spirits be free 1000 years from now

Only Love 02:51
I've been wasting my time Reading hateful junk online It started bothering me What happened to humanity? The people to be around Are those who take us up not down Only love Only love Only love in my mind from here All the bile and spite Blows up just like dynamite Words as lethal as guns Open fire on anyone The venom and the hate Is designed to make us more irate Only love Only love Only love in my mind from here Freedom of speech is a right that you'd fight for any day But responsibility is something that you want to throw away You are what you read A clever guy once said to me It's our decision to make Are we choosing love or hate? Anger eats away inside It destroys and divides Only love Only love Only love in my heart Only love Only love Only love in my heart from here

Beneath a fading sunset Pulling the shutters down Friends voice regrets As we depart the town Trains leaving stations Boats leaving ports We were European We were European From the snow capped mountains To the sun drenched beach Statues and fountains All within our reach Ever lost connections Ever fading dreams We were European We were European Bridge Parisian boulevards Glisten in the rain We may return to visit But things won't be the same We were European We were European Called citizens of nowhere Metropolitan elites Left without a prayer Beaten by deceit By saloon bar bores And media whores We were European We were European We were European We were European We were European

I've never been the patient kind Never liked to wait Once I made up my mind I didn't hesitate Gonna need to get unwound Let the world move on Just gonna hang around See what comes along Gonna take more time Gonna slow right down Gonna see the wood for the trees Now I'm gonna take more time Needed that instant hit Nothing ever waits Attention span shot to bits No breathing space I want to see the stars Stare at the moon Walk instead of driving cars Sleep in the afternoon Gonna take more time Gonna slow right down Gonna see the wood for the trees Now I'm gonna take more time

You hide between the covers Of a self-indulging book And while away the hours in the sun You find it reassuring That you're misunderstood And victimised by each and every one It comes so hard That self regard The centre of your universe is you One day you will find There's other things outside Your Unbroken Dream You spend your time with people Who pander to your soul Indulge you in each and every way Some charge by the hour Others more by stealth The money's always there for you to pay And every day Brings a brand new phase Attacking your fragile self-esteem You life's worn on your sleeve But only you believe in Your Unbroken Dream You need a bigger house And your car is 2 years old The next purchase will take the pain away The winter's too depressing The dark days and the cold You have to book a flight and get away Each short term fix Plays the same old tricks They only ever last until the next Your head stays in the clouds No one else allowed in Your unbroken dream

New Cosmos 03:27
Space and Time In another dimension Gravity lost Relatively speaking Always expanding Never ending To build again From the lost remains This is the new cosmos This is the new cosmos This is the new cosmos By design Spiral arms Forever spinning Light disappears And starts to bend Universal Beyond boundaries New laws become The cosmic norm This is the new cosmos This is the new cosmos This is the new cosmos By design
