Julian Cope Autogeddon Blues, from the Album, Autogeddon. I do not claim any of the rights to any content, except maybe the right to listen to it.
I had a dream, in the middle of the day, and my waking dream won't go away
I watched the city swallow everywhere, only Shanty towns, of despair,
and these things I saw,
road culture at the end of the line,
city dwelling at the end of the line,
Motherfucking at the end of the line,
these things I saw, and these things I find,
The Motorway services were the new cities,
poisonous air had wrecked our homes,
gasoline rivers eating up our seas
and I saw my children dirty, on their knees
I had a dream, in the middle of the day,
now my waking dream won't go away,
So I left the city, just to breath some air,
just to keep my own brain, from busting,
yeah, I left the city, just to breath some air,
but out here in the fields,
Y'know they're still just fields,
still fences and signs,
saying "Keep off my land, no trespass, by order"
by drunken disorder, more likely, you old prick,
your drunken development's making me sick,
your drunken development's making me yawn,
I shit on your reason, your rose is my thorn,
I had a dream, in the middle of the day, and my waking dream won't go away
So I walk, walk, walk, right over this Land,
Yes I walk, and just a keep on walking,
got a rock from the ground, this is no game,
decide, let my rock do the talking,
Till a Man drives up, in a 4x4,
up to me, all alone on this lonely moor,
then my rock says goodbye to his aching jaw,
yeah, my rock says goodbye, to his bleeding head,
well, I never saw a dead man, but he looked dead,
I had a dream, in the middle of the day, and my waking dream won't go away.
And they wonder why a man, behaves like this,
behaves like he wants to feel the Land is his,
Mama told me to do it, in my deepest dreams,
Mama told me to do it, this is not what it seems,
There are more of us coming, there are more like me,
messed up, messed up with nothing to lose,
It's a barbed wire fence, which side do you choose?
And I cant shake the feeling this has happened before,
my nightmare returning, In Autogeddon we're burning,
And I cant shake the feeling this has happened before,
My nightmare returning, In Autogeddon we're burning!
Thanks, Julian. (The Teardrop, who never stopped exploding)
Yeah, Biz rocks, big style. A.B.C Warriors, Slaine, Dredd, (Esp his Batman/Dredd cross overs) and the covers he's done for Vertigo (Hellbazer, Swamp Thing) are as good as Comic book art gets.
