old faces in a new crowd

I and I am told
Burning up your soul
There's a hole 
Where your money and your ego flow
When your tummy funny 
Don't know how to enjoy
And your head explodes

I and I is sold
This story's getting old
It's a shame
History repeat itself again
When the myths they blossom out
And shout a loud insane and proud

I and I alone
Move your body pick up the phone
I and I alone lose your mind
Hang up the phone
I and I alone
Move your body pick up the phone
I and I alone with you

I and I am told
Burning up your soul
There's a hole 
Where your money and your ego flow
When your tummy funny 
Don't know how to enjoy
And your head explodes

Try and try to hold
Some sanity unfold
It's an old and moldy throne
That the kings in line never let go
Debunk debunking theorists
Not thinking quite the clearest
Let go of what you think you know

I and I alone
Move your body pick up the phone
I and I alone lose your mind
Hang up the phone
I and I alone
Move your body pick up the phone
I and I alone with you

And the tides of time are washing away

I and I alone with you

I And I Alone

SYSTEM CRASHDOWN

Just plain speaking
Just play speak jah
Just plain freaking
Just plain freak jah
Just plain tweaking
Just plain tweak jah
( Or anything you imagine it says !)

System crash down
Don't let them fool yah all around
All the love can heal yer
How many things are said
How many people dead
How many troubles can rain down
How many blind are led
How much belly need fed
How much corruption can rain down 
Sordid sequences in brilliant life
Supports and props and punctuations
To our flowing realities and realisations
That set out the rules of this ludicrous game
A glorified media marketing ploy 
For the generation taught that rain is poison
Sex is death but what is left
'Cept TV and masturbation

System Crashdown

NEVER STOP ASKING WHY

It's never too late to try
Never stop asking why
It's never too late to fly
Hey ho
Never let chance pass by
It's never too late to try
Hey ho hey hey hey
Never stop asking why
Every time I look inside the I can see the world's in me and
Everything I want to be the change that all I want to see is mine
Every time I can't believe the crazy shit that they believe 
The irony, the total cheese, the tangled web that we all weave to survive
I drink poison
Wars over cola
Jokers undercover
Global warming tax vex text mex
Natural progression 
Checking out my emails 
Gathering my females
I drink treason
Flaws in the system
Smokers undercover
Fire freakbeats dawning bling bling
Nothing's obvious
Checking out my emails 
Gathering my females
Destined to follow
The prophets of profit
Slaves to the paper 
Slaves to the knowledge of the wedge pledge 
Clinical Obsession            
Checking out my emails 
Gathering my females
I drink poison
Wars over cola
Jokers undercover
Global warming tax 
Vex Text Mex
Natural progression 
Checking out my emails 
Gathering my females

Never Stop Asking Why

What's your fantasy tonight ? 
On a train, in the office, or motorbike ? 
On a beach, a plane or hospital bed ? 
So many flavors, some bondage instead ? 
Let's go down at the love hotel 
Satisfy our needs let's raise some hell 
A crazy lust, a driving passion 
A no holds barred steamy dumpling session 
Serve up your sashimi c'mon and bring it near me 
Oooh you got me frisky feely 
Sticky squashed like Onigiri 
Vapourizin' kush trippin' on your tush 
Spaced out on your planet bushy 
Wrap me up slice me like sushi (cutie) 
Be my hot wasabi baby dumplings of desire 
Get down at the love hotel 
C'mon and light my fire now baby 
Spicy cyber girl now baby 
Let's get to it down at the love hotel 
Serve up your sashimi 
C'mon and bring it near me 
You got my plums so ripe so squashy 
Gently squeeze like ume boshi 
Tantalizin' rush trippin' on your tush 
Sipping on your hot sweet sake 
Dip me, roll me, lick me, slap me 
Hot wasabi baby spicy cyber girl 
Get down at the love hotel 
Get to show me your world 
Be my hot wasabi baby spicy cyber girl 
Let's get to it down at the love hotel 
Swipe that card, step on in 
Welcome to a world of sin 
Let lose your animal desire 
Work up that hunger a sweet perspire 
Streets of neon and plastic food 
Pachinko slots and denki grooves 
Lost in the city of a million souls

Love Hotel

Chillin' with the moon I close my eyelids 
My mind carving stones with the ancient pyramids 
Ploughing cerebral landscapes with alien tractors 
Always one step ahead never moving backwards 
Conflicting contradictions my stories of fiction 
My collage of thoughts tight taught and addictive 
Glowing like a firefly , intuitive with my third eye 
Posing for cameras while flushing out enemas 
I ain't no vandal causing no scandal 
To open my door just turn the handle 
So many mice creaming for the cheese 
With nothing I find myself I'm pleased 
I'm as sane as a fruitcake in a loony bin 
My pockets bare yet riches within this skin 
In which I live is all I give to be a king 
I bring no drama, only good karma 
A sprinkle of pixie dust and little charmer 
And if I die later or sooner 
Eating radioactive tuna 
I'm the man in the moon, the ray of the sun 
It's much too late my story's begun 
My boat's set sail the anchor break 
I'm gonna live until I die 
Dream until I wake 
I'm gonna live until I die 
Dream until I wake

Live Until I Die

What is it ? What is it ? 
What is it that true heroes really want ? 
Existence persistence perpective infection 
Sleek and extravagant in every direction 
What is it ? What is it ? 
What is it that true heroes really want ? 
Instant relief from an inbred belief 
And that's no way to keep the worms at bay 
All the heroes 
All the heroes and magical dropouts 
Hypnotic eyes and monochrome readouts 
Highly skilled gawpers and casual perusals 
Deep frozen rictus outlandish syllables 
Backsliders foreign affairs 
High above the albatross soared 
Suppressing a burp avoid cautious glances 
You don't wanna fuck with a hero 
What is it that true heroes really want? 
To see themselves at the height of triumph 
What is it that true heroes really love ? 
You don't wanna fuck with a hero 
No you don't wanna fuck with a hero 
Wa wanna fuck with 
No you don't wanna fuck with a hero 
Escape obligations with broken drums 
Lost in the privacy of my own skull 
I beg your pardon , a solemn endeavor 
Kiss your kidneys goodbye it's now or never 
A tough ride juggling snowballs in hell 
Quicksilver fumes and hazy spells 
What is it that true heroes really want? 
To see themselves at the height of triumph 
What is it that true heroes really love ? 
You don't wanna fuck with a hero

All The Heroes

Please direct your attention to the teeth I lost 
Was it the strontium 90 milkshake or the way I flossed ? 
It's sad , it's bad, it's oh so sad 
Was it the poison Chanel No.5 behind my ears ? 
Or was it just a little splash of Daichi tears ? 
It's sad , it's bad, it's oh so sad 
Absurd cocktail party politeness 
Mixed in with fluorescent strip whiteness 
The occult symbolism and nautical signs 
Gnawing away my veins from the inside 
From the inside 
Was it the cell phone tower relays emitting bad vibes ? 
Was it the fracking foreplay shower of pesticides 
It's sad , it's bad, it's oh so sad 
Was it genetically modified beans on toast ? 
Or fluoridated water and diet coke 
It's sad , it's bad, it's oh so sad 
Factory farms and oily scourge 
Mixed in with toxic fumes at birth 
The occult symbolism and nautical signs 
Gnawing away my veins from the inside 
From the inside 
Was it vaccinations laced with formaldehyde ? 
Or chromosomal implants spliced with mutant flies 
Was it the microwave dinners and plastic boobs ? 
Or sucking blue smarties through neon tubes 
It's sad , it's bad, it's oh so sad 
Caught in the mire eternal spillage 
A nuclear fallout after image 
The occult symbolism and nautical signs 
Gnawing away my veins from the inside 
From the inside

From The Inside

Just like Jules Verne travelling time 
Sending ripples through my mind 
Brainwaves crashing back to the future 
A tsunami of destiny changing cultures 
By clipping tiny butterfly wings 
Would it really alter the course of things 
New strings parallel universe expanding 
Observable yet never ending 
I’m in withe the pharaohs sacreed symbols 
Creating new threads, new religions 
Orion’s belt around my waist 
I put JFK’s brains back in their place 
Revolutions now that never started 
Became solutions never found 
A brave new world awaits the masses 
Covered in bruises a distant sound 
Efficiently plunged into oblivion 
The hollow masters which we serve 
Nodding man perchance a gideon 
Leaking Zen through optic nerves 
Every beginning a continuation 
And the book of fate is always open 
Down the rabbit hole I must go searching 
For perfection, fortune’s gold 
Just like Jules Verne travelling time 
Sending ripples through my mind 
Brainwaves crashing back to the future 
A tsunami of destiny changing cultures

Just Like Jules Verne

They're driving us crazy with new diseases 
New vaccines and drugs with cancerous ingredients 
Attacks our immunity system at war 
Codex Alimentarus upon us be warned 
With GM crops crap food they infect us 
It's all good cos disease is big business 
Big pharma big brother they like us to suffer 
And we're all too busy fighting each other 
To notice it creeping like tides all around us 
Digital disinformation will pound us 
Until we are trapped in this ludicrous game 
Of shallow consumerous untold insurances 
Buy now pay later a rotting idea of 
Future happiness that never appears 
Disinformation will pound us 
Daily who the hell can blame us 
For this madness we've created 
Only we on earth can save us 
All that perishes is a symbol 
Castles made of sand will tumble 
Every great civilization 
Ends in total self destruction
credits


Future Happiness

Peel away the layers that form 
Upon your soul , break the mould 
Seal the deal we started years ago 
Won't you won't you please let me down with ease 
Feel me , make me cry 
Tales of new age frontiers are so bold 
Age of stone, age of old 
Lament the endless moments fractured souls 
Cracks in time, fractured minds 
Feel me, make me cry 
Delusions of a future in harmony 
Explode in a shower of raging gloom 
Their anger tempered by the the sight of their bones 
Certain spells that conjure demons home 
Feel me , make me cry 
Eden is the garden that we must go 
Hindered by the hollow masters 
That we ourselves created we let them flow 
Stagnant minds rule mankind 
Feel me , make me cry

Feel Me

Hymn*1

I'll take what I can get
I'll take whatever life throws my way
Destiny always finds a way
I won't waste another day

Surprise
It's such a waste  
Yet it's hard to lie
And hard to face
'Reality's nowt but a thin skim of ice
Upon a deep dark lake of infinite strife
'Cos we're living in a dream that's out of sight
And life adds up to nothing

The veil of secrecy
Can't really fool me
This presence of mind
A true destiny
The veil of secrecy
Can't really fool me
This presence of mind
A true destiny

The power of the possible weakens the walls
Of the forces of negatives squeezing our balls
Society's fabric an intricate tapestry
Obliging such fragile and rotting deep therapy
Destiny always finds a way
I won't waste another day

Surprise
It's such a waste
The sin of pride
It's hard to hide
Nothing is for free

Never look back and you never think twice
Though you're trapped in thoughts like your head's in a vice
In the lattice of time worn out and bare
Seek refuge in re-cycled memories there

The veil of secrecy
Can't really fool me
This presence of mind
A true destiny
The veil of secrecy
Can't really fool me
This presence of mind
A true destiny


Destiny

This is the first EP Single ever released by GBOA 1987


I'm feeling hot believe that I am on fire
Better blow away the flames this aini't my pyre
You put the lights on baby when things were looking dim
I'm not American yet but what a state I'm in
Everything's groovy baby
Everything's groovy baby now
Ten miles high and I'm groovy
Ten miles high and I'm groovy
I know that life is such a tangled web to weave
And we have a pact together that you would never leave
We were up and down and up and down like bird high in a tree
It was a good loving don't need psychiatry
Everything's groovy baby
Everything's groovy baby now
Ten miles high and I'm groovy
Ten miles high and I'm groovy
So groovy so groovy so groovy so groovy now
But then the bubble burst and I could give no more
You threw away a part of me you walked toward the door
Things were sweet though it was difficult to tell
I was up in heaven but you plunged me into hell
Everything's groovy baby
Everything's groovy baby now
Ten miles high and I'm falling
Ten miles high and I'm groovy
So groovy so groovy so groovy so groovy now
You said how can I love you with no money in my pocket
You promised me the stars but you ain't got a rocket
You put the lights on baby when things were looking dim
I'm not American yet but what a state I'm in
Everything's groovy baby
Everything's groovy baby now
Ten miles high and I'm falling
Ten miles high and I'm groovy
Now that you're gone, Not groovy
So groovy so groovy so groovy now

Everything's Groovy Baby

The last album released by GBOA in 1990

We're lost in music no turning back
Caught in a trap we're lost in music
Wisdom brings humility in this tortured 20th century
Which began as a golden age but now stumbles to suicide
As men see no purpose in their lives
They eat they drink they make merry
For tomorrow they will die and now know why
Can you see the purpose
As we go into terminal overload my head explodes
Disinformation rise and shine
Swallowed by the misery extinguishing the vitriol
Have you got the time
Another crack in a pulpit sings about the mad rush to mass destruction
That's inherent the errant ways of man
The material fuels the infernal consumer boom the bolshy shoom
Can you see the purpose rise and shine
As we go into terminal overload my head explodes
Disinformation rise and shine
Swallowed by the misery extinguishing the vitriol
Making up for lost time
Like a landscape gardener creates new boundaries
We've ran the race we're lost in space
Suspended in this galaxy
Can you see the purpose rise and shine
Sow the seed you gotta dig deep 
Sow the seed you gotta reap
As we go into terminal overload my head explodes
Disinformation rise and shine
Swallowed by the misery extinguishing the vitriol
You gotta take the time
You gotta be more positive 
Use your intellect


Disinformation Rise And Shine

The last album released by GBOA in 1990

Leaders of the world today
Don't let the people have their say
The folly when your dreams suppressed
Kick out the jams no better than this
The things they do  the things that they say
Don't let them walk over you that way
When violence rears it's ugly head
Bang bang bang another leader's dead
You're saving up to save yourself
Don't really care about none else
Children in this careless state
Don't be blinded by the hate
That leads the foolish man to war
Don't be blinded
The things you do the things that they say
Don't let them trip you up that way
Bang bang are we so easily led
Like a messenger of the perfect day
Sons and daughters of the earth divide
Hide and seek and find the devil's speak
You know that energy shall shine
Scumbags of the world unite
Redeem yourselves and shine the light
Roll out the carpet smell the rose
Life's no fun when your mind is closed
Another's pride another's shame
Another's loss is another's gain
Bang bang bang am I out of my head
We're saving up to save ourself
Don't really care about none else
Someone's got to save us
Save us from ourselves
Save us from our sins
Can't blame none else

S.O.S

We're living for today
No looking back
If this was video
We could forward all the crap
You've lost all self control
Grumble number one
The sun'll cleanse your soul
Let it crawl back to sublime
Avarice and greed
Nostalgia through your veins
It ain't crack that I need
To make things feel the same
Races In the tube it's a blast from the past
Today ain't yesterday and you're growing up fast
Virus ridden land 
Who's calling who
Things are out of hand
Or is it just a touch of flu ?
Wisdom in a box
In the age of chance
A living paradox
So much for teenage angst

Nosedive Karma
