Fickle Futures

The The | Heartland

Beneath the old iron bridges, across the Victorian parks
And all the frightened people running home before dark
Past the Saturday morning cinema that lies crumbling to the ground
And the piss stinking shopping center in the new side of town
I've come to smell the seasons change and watch the city
As the sun goes down again

Here comes another winter of long shadows and high hopes
Here comes another winter waitin' for utopia
Waitin' for hell to freeze over

ARMAGEDDON DAYS ARE HERE (again)

Hello world!

The The | Angels Of Deception

Well, it's high noon at the UK corral
And it's high time I got myself back on the rails
I'm the lonesome cowboy ridin' across the range
With just a hand held radio to keep me sane
Ridin' through the FM stations
The tumbleweed, the petrol stations
Will all onboard this Yankee station
Prepare themselves for battle stations

Jesus wept, Jesus Christ
I can't see for the tear gas
And the dollar signs in my eyes
Well, what's a man got left to fight for

The The | The Violence Of Truth

"As long as Jesus gives us everything we want, we love him."

What is evil?
What is love?
What is the force that possesses us?
Where is the beauty?
Where is the truth?
Where is the force that watches over you?

What is it that makes us ashamed to be white
When we close our ears to the sound of machine gun fire?
And while the niggers of this world are starving
With their mouths wide open
What is it that turns the coins we throw at them

The The
Sweet Bird of Truth

6 o'clock in the morning & I'm the last person in this plane Still awake
Why'know I can almost smell the blood washing against the shores,
Of this land that can't forget its past.
Oh the wind that carries this plane, is the wind of change,
Heaven sent and hell bent!
Over the mountain tops we go, just like all the other GI Joes
EE-AY-EE-AY----adios!

This is your captain calling--"with an urgent warning"
We're above the Gulf of Arabia--"our altitude is falling"

I once had a creative director who lived by the mantra “Design is a contact sport."

I couldn’t disagree more! Every critique I participated in with that Creative Director was generally adversarial and people were often left with sore feelings and no concrete ideas.

"An institution that is 100% contemptuous of process may create vividly creative outputs, but it won’t last long. And one that’s 100% process focused will rarely create a breakthrough."
