Dylan {on loan from Nik turner's Fantastic Allstars} is on trumpet. This exorcism of demons created by the unholy trinity of The Church, The State and The Military was filmed at The Deptford Urban Free Festival in Fordham Park, South East London in 1995 by Neal Doublét and the stills are by Pam and Norman High. Props were made by Whip The Minister and the concept was developed in Wickham Lane in Abbey Wood, South East London and Music City rehearsal and recording studios in New Cross, South East London. The festival was a tribute to the memory of the late great Tom Caldwell of The South East London Musician's Collective who helped start the festival in 1989. Song written by Whip The Minister with lyrics by Craig High.

A tear dribbled down your cheek
I hope you found that which you seek.
Five spoonfuls of sugar please.
One on another to thrill and tease.
Enter Eden's market garden.
Sold out body don't beg my pardon.
Blue trees that once were gold.
With shares it seems our dreams are sold.
You might call me an ingrate
Because of the way I get into a state.
You may be talking way too late.
I've had a taste of heaven and it's fucking great.
Enter Eden's market garden.
Sold out body don't beg my pardon.
Blue trees that once were gold.
With shares it seems our dreams are sold.
From the witches to the druids and then the clamp-down
When the pseudo Christian tyrants built the temperate town.
For hundreds of years we've suffered under their yoke.
Now we see their bankruptcy and now they're broke.
Enter Eden's market garden.
Sold out body don't beg my pardon.
We here we say fuck all that.
Ours is free and there's is flat.
