There is an ancient Sufi parable about coffee: "He who tastes, knows; he who tastes not, knows not."

This is NOT Your Country...
Road blocks and fire
Barb wire upon barb wire
This is not your country
Armoured cars, corrugated scars
Graffiti scrawls:
"This is not your country"
Home sweet fortress
Gunshot - we hate your kind
Get back!
This is not your country
I need some air
And I'm stopped and repeatedly questioned:
"Born and raised ?"
But this is not my country
We're old news
All's well
Say BBC scum
One child shot, but so what?
Laid my son
In a box, three feet long
And I still don't know why
A short walk home becomes a run
And I'm scared
In my own country
We're old news
All's well
Say BBC scum
Everybody's under control
Of our surveillance globes
We're old news
All's well
And thirty years could be a thousand
And this Peugeot ad
Spins round in my head
British soldier pointing a gun
And I'm only trying to post a letter
A short walk home becomes a run
And I'm scared, and I'm scared, I am scared
Old news
All's well
BBC scum
You've got more than the dead, so zip up your mouth
Zip up your mouth
Zip up your mouth
Zip up your mouth (repeated)

In Cythera - Killing Joke
Saw all those things I should have said while I had the time
You, who stood by me when I lost the plot
You were always kind
All through these mortal joys
Through my anger and endless rain
And during my addictions
Yet, the love you showed still remained the same
I'm grateful for all the times we've shared
Through struggles and madness you're there
I've seen you in a dream
On a sunny day, where the skies are clear
I'll see you in Cythera
On an island far away from here
If I don't return before your time is up
I promise to set your place
On the table with wine and fill your cup
And to ourselves we lie
As we break down inside
'Cause we never said enough
How much we really loved
I'm grateful for all the times we've shared
Through struggles and madness you're there
I've seen you in a dream
On a sunny day, where the skies are clear
I'll see you in Cythera
On an island far away from here
I'm grateful for all the times we've shared
Through struggles and madness you're there
I've seen you in a dream
On a sunny day, where the skies are clear
I'll see you in Cythera
On an island far away from here
