In Mesopotamia
There was this mania
Building stuff out of clay bricks

Sumerian powers
Built temples and towers
Ziggurats, that’s what they did

Humans are scoundrels
Trees should hold council
Just ask the bird or the fish

It’s never enough
With this ziggurat stuff
A ziggurat’s never too big  

The bird and the fish
Were thoroughly pissed
With the cat in the hat and his big ziggurat 

Builders were flagging
Whip  kept on cracking
I want a ziggurat bigger than that

Humans are scoundrels
Trees should hold council
Just ask the bird or the fish

It’s never enough
With this ziggurat stuff
A ziggurats never too big

I want a ziggurat bigger than that
I want a ziggurat bigger than that
I want a ziggurat bigger than that
I want a ziggurat bigger than that

I want a ziggurat bigger than that!

I Want A Ziggurat Bigger Than That!

Royal Flush

This is a song, a metaphor, about the danger fed to society by too consuming much Internet, in all of its forms.  Don't walk into the muddy waters too deep.

---

It started on a very cold night; uptight. 
Her friend said that she's ok, just so tired.
Things went awry online, in a short space of time, 
senseless reasons that she took her own life.

There was this guy who was ok, mentally.
Before the the Internet took him away,
now most people he knows don't want to hear what he knows,
this is how it goes, unfortunately.

Muddy waters.
You take your chances.

Big tech guru watching the harm his invention has on society.
Yet he forges on, fanning the flames, 
making it worse instead of better; indifferent to the pain,
anything to make some gains. 

Solo.

It can be a dangerous water that we don't want to swim in.   
If you step in, you can't see who will bite back.
Each drown out the next until you can't hear a thing.  
All it takes is for you to believe their spin.

Muddy waters.
You take your chances.

Muddy Waters

The Doubt

Easy now, don't let our love go wrong
I'd never hurt you, or mean you any harm
Darling can't you see

I wouldn't want to lose your love
I wouldn't want to lose your love
I couldn't stand the pain
You know it'd drive me insane
Darling I need your love
And if tomorrow would be easier for you

And there's nothing that I can say or I can do
Darling, please come home, you know
I wouldn't want to lose your love

I wouldn't want to lose your love
I couldn't stand the pain
You know it'd drive me insane
Darling I need your love

You're tellin' me that I've been foolish this time
You're tellin' me that I don't know my own mind
But darling can't you see ya know 
 
I wouldn't want to lose your love
I wouldn't want to lose your love
I couldn't stand the pain
You know it'd drive me insane

Darling I need your love (love love love love.......)
Darling I need your love (love love love love.......)
Darling I need your love (love love love love.......)

The Other Side remake # 5. It started in 2002. Got adjusted in 2007. Had seperate facelift's to reflect new reality in 2015 & 2024. Now # 5 is truly Alive for The Other Side. Both the Song and me appreciate your time and love ♾️ If art is conscious in a universal sense as it's doing its job of inspiring love, then that appreciation from the piece itself doesn't have to seem misplaced...

It's great to make art... But the sharing bit can truly last and maybe it can actually transcend the artist as an energetic entity. Maybe all art is that after it's created ♾️ (unless souless ai made it)


Tempo 155bpm 4/4
Tuning 417Hz A and down one semitone then capo 2 (B string back up one semitone)

Lyrics

Why go beyond this face 
To no longer replace and only embrace this soul
You can’t grow while running from this
Down clenching your fist,
Your hot heads
Too mystical

Light up the other side
Light up the other side

I know to look to this place
Search every last little trace
Find why all is interlaced with the cold
(The Beautiful Dark: In order to.know we are playing with light we unfortunately need to understand the shitty darkness that exists in this universe most of which was created by what we currently refer to as  "humanity" - Can't recall a dolphin ever bringing evil to planet Earth - They show plenty of love though... maybe that's showing us how natural love is and where all hate comes from! Humans...)

Light up the other side
Light up the other side

Love like you mean it
Love completely
Is your heart beating?
Then love like you mean it!

We're wishing for middle eastern freedom
We're wishing for Tibetan peace
For 'free' Iraqi beliefs
We let go of Mugabe 🙏🏿 🥳
Zimbawes relief
Fuck you Burmese high priests
🖕🏽All black and white beasts

Rainbows of love
Your Dharma duties
Never end Peace and Love
No shame no doubt no guilt reigns

Just love like you mean it
Love completely
Just love like you mean it
Love completely

Light up the other side
Light up your inside
Light up the other side
Light up your inside
Yeah ➕📈


Notes
Man this feels good. It's like I'm handing a big chuck of myself over and its a good chunck of good in my head.

I pledge to write this song until I die and hopefully that means me making lots and lots of versions of this over the coming decades. It has to be rewritten because this song needs to reflect my reality and that always changes. When the time is right I'll pass it on to another human who I feel will be worthy enough to keep it going for another lifetime.

I wrote this song originally 23 years ago on a two octave Casio keyboard. It was so cheesily amazing. However the beat cheese was 155bpm of high tempo rhythm so when I went to write the lyrics I slowed the gait to try and say what I wanted to say and not sound like a chipmonk.

So today we go back to that gait and we do it without like sounding like a chipmonk and with new relevance for what I see in reality.
This is the result of the first wave of recompiling the idea again from scratch. I'll hone it now...

The Other Side (2025)

didnt know the guitars a lil off beat sorry 😭


now i know theres nothing left
i know ill just have to end up dead
crying over all your texts
because i am all alone again

i wish i was perfect 
just so that u could stay with me
im just another boy
but ur my whole life to me

without you in my arms
what am i supposed to be?
and now my bodys all over the ground deceased

im crying in my room
i dont know what to do
ive lost interest
in everything i did with you

ive lost control and now
lifes crashing down
where am i supposed to be?
im such a pity

i wish i was perfect 
just so that u could stay with me
im just another boy
but ur my whole life to me

without you in my arms
what am i supposed to be?
and now my bodys all over the ground deceased

i wish i was perfect

Song to accompany a short story found in this collection: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Odd-Little-Things-Short-Stories/dp/B095GCZNDQ
When a curious angel discovers seven identical stones in the shadow of volcanic fire mountains, he sets off across the heavens in search of answers. But even the wisest of angels cannot explain their perfect symmetry or impossibly light weight. As the mystery deepens, the stones reveal a secret no one—celestial or mortal—could have foreseen: from within, life stirs. A plucky little creature hatches from stone, sparking the most unlikely origin story of all—the first chicken. Part parable, part cosmic comedy, this whimsical fable unfolds among angels, miracles, and a wink at the age-old question: what came first, the chicken or the egg?
