When We Were Young I will make my bed and stumble down the stairs There your tangled hair and laughter fills the air Now the laughter’s gone I’m staring at the floor I don’t understand the deepest love has gone When we were young Days in the sun When we were young We had a farewell Days are going by I’m feeling kind of new Darkness filled your heart when we were young and true When we were young When we were young When we were young Days in the sun When we were young We had a farewell Copyright 2020 Neasden Nev

Torquemada & The Familiars Oh no, not you again My psypathic friend Leave me alone Tear out my heart and tongue My race is run I feel undone The drums are in my head They beat me ’til I’m dead I hope that you will pray To wash your sins away Open your mind and see You devil worship me Get out and stay away You and your Opus Dei Oh no, this can’t go on Leave me alone Copyright 2020 Neasden Nev

Roundabout 03:24
Roundabout I fell into the water Startled by sound Deep down I know I ought to Keep calm and drown I lose control of reason My walls come tumbling down Our sacred ground is poisoned I hope you’re proud Copyright 2020 Neasden Nev

In Days Yet To Come In days yet to come We will fight all the scum Filthy liars, creationist fools The piffle and waffle And nonsense they cobble Delusion, illusion and ghouls Open their eyes Superstition and lies Machinations of preachers and popes The weak and the gullible Things astrological Heavens above what a joke Faith in each other From sister to brother And anything else is a sham Once we are born We must never be sworn To an entity greater than man Hey ho away we go Up to the front with us The fearless and brave with us Hey ho away we go Hey ho hey We’ll fight for our land With our minds and our hands And we’ll fight ’til we get to the truth We’ll give them a sign That no faith can decline And a whacking great thrashing to boot We’ll fight for a schism Of state and religion They’ll go to their hell come what may Bring us our swords And we’ll smite all the hordes And the buggars who stand in our way Faith in each other From sister to brother And anything else is a sham Once we are born We must never be sworn To an entity greater than man Hey ho away we go Up to the front with us The fearless and brave with us Hey ho away we go Hey ho hey Hey ho away we go Goodbye sweetheart Hey ho away we go Hey ho hey Copyright 2020 Neasden Nev

One-Eyed Man 03:26
One-Eyed Man He rides a bicycle Thinks we don’t see His greed He trades in humanity Prays on our need Have a little faith in me He pleads In this land of mine There are none so blind One-eyed man is king Beautiful Sunday You owe it to me With a wave of his hand we’re gone (Goodbye, goodbye) For a song In this land of mine There’ll be none so blind One-eyed man is king Copyright 2020 Neasden Nev

On The Run 04:08
On The Run And so they came With tales of shame I found a clue We know about you And all the children Out of luck, down and out And you think you’re devout So you make me a slave And you cash all I gave And you talk like an angel And yet they came With swords aflame No time to run When the day is done It’s killing me Out of luck, down and out And you think you’re devout So you make me a slave And you cash all I gave And you walk like an angel Don’t blame the sun Don’t blame the friends you’re keeping We’re on the run Now that the world is weeping Don’t blame the sun Don’t blame the friends you’re keeping We’re on the run Now that the world is weeping Don’t blame it on love Don’t blame the air you’re breathing We are but one Now that the world is weeping Copyright 2020 Neasden Nev

about

The Flowers of London London, UK

And so, deep in Grumpy Woods, we retreat to the world of prog to reflect on the dystopian nightmare of the world outside. Away from corporations sucking the pennies from our pockets and the politicians who lie to our faces, smirking at our gullibility. The bishops in their finery peering at us from a lofty height, hands held out in judgement “for a small consideration, your sins will be forgiven” ... more
