instrumentation performed by Raven Jak (Jack Timothy Oake Randell)

only in Britain could you find a bit of intolerance to the people who can't muster up a glance their way
talk about making their day - well what about mine? don't it work both ways?
only in Britain could you find a person paying for a cab-ride home for the homeless - and even now and then, when, the sun does shine, 
you take another slice of American pie
only in Britain would you rather be smitten when you clearly find that we've all just bitten off more than we can chew with a few teeth left
cleft-pallet for a government is best
only in Britain does have a nice day mean 'F***-you-very-much!' for the common display
say what you mean and mean what you say
you don't do much of the Irish way, do ya?

do you think of these?

well you should - you should it's good for the blood
and too rai yay and you'll drink up in the mud
if you could you would you'd drink away the day
and too rai year and your fear is far away
i said too right here and your fear is far away
your tears and fears are far away from here

only in Britain could you stand in line with the 'slowest moving part of a cornish tin mine' (Jinge) and he says quite nicely 'things are looking pricey...'
'how long were you down there for?'
only in Britain are you more infamous on the bus, cussin' at the old-boy making such a fuss on the back-seat isn't it a repeat of a Friday night when you're always right?
Only in Britain could you find more than 1 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 cameras on your back-side at a time
isn't it fine that the line was crossed in an instant blowing up a mind
Only in Britain does 'have a nice day' mean 'F*** you very much!' for the common display
say what you mean and mean what you say
you don't do much of the Irish way do ya?

well you should - you should it's good for the blood
and too rai yay and you'll drink up in the mud
if you could you would you'd drink away the day
and too rai year and your fear is far away
i said too right here and your fear is far away
your tears and fears are far away from here

(lead solo)

too right here and your fear is far away
your tears and fears are far away from here
i said too right here and your fear is far away
your tears and fears are far away from here

they're far away from here

Will Power

Concerns of the world, A sarcastic back hander to the banking system, and how much we are enslaved by a money-fueld capitalist owned society, exploiting sweat-shop workers, tearing apart the o-zone layer, playing huge war-zone games with countries of people being slaughtered and made to starve, bleed and suffer by the doings of those of the rich

Lyric and Music written and composed by Jack Randell

DEMO

how much is a flight to the broker's ball
scar up the ocean air is all
how much is a taiwan toy these days
sweating on the floor well we can't have that
so whats the price of a flight to london if you live in birmingham
whats the score with the economicundrum
solve it by a motto of 'Yes We Can'
yes we can conquer poverty by making more money
we can find the faith from the milk and honey
why dontcha wake up and wipe all the sick of your shirt
it's another pantomime about selling the earth

yes we can add another dead brother on the list
when it comes from the banker's heart unto his wrist
and their hands are on their hearts solemnly swearing that you life
to play a part in their game was well spend from the start

how much is a drive to the corner shop
about quarter of a gallon of seventeen families blood
can't stop it if they would
talk about progress for a bowl of peas
well up comes another saviour brother leader to wrap up all the wreckage and fix us all
doesn't really work that way see cause he is in on the big fall
for the right to the pint you're drinking right now it should be sinking in
"it's not about the money, it's about sending a message"

yes we can add another dead brother on the list
when it comes from the banker's heart unto his wrist
and their hands are on their hearts solemnly swearing that you life
to play a part in their game was well spend from the start

yeah it keeps into perspective what i'm actually saying right now...
This is called 'Square Park':


indecision? Indecision!?
Indecision. Indecision.
Indecision.... INDECISION!!!!
Conflicting Views
Controlled Savage Dogs in the dark bark impatiently
old ink-from-old-ink-after-old-ink
industrial chains causing all kinds of work skin
leather holds onto dreams of freedom from the wallets
talks of our friends being slashed-up on Broad Street

but still i can see
my path is a good one
towards my living and being and dying
aye aye aye aye

the ignorant steps of business and knee-high-
work-shirts and skirts waaaaaaaalk byyyyyyyyy...
searching for any signal between news traveling fasssst
dogs show pigeons catch-the-eye
and news of friends being slashed up on Broad Street

but still i can see
my path is a 'good one'
towards my living and being and dyyyyyyyyyyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnning

slowly floats in the gutter and into the ether
another grey drizzle of 'City Life'
leading to assume the 'worst' is in the 'best'
but the chemical-based-Ciders served in tinnies
serve up the ha-ha-ha-laughter towards us
the divine comedy of the situation, and before long,
crime is forgotten, my friend, in hospital, lying rotten

THE WORLD IS BURNING UP
THE TREES ARE LEAVING
THE OCEANS ARE DEAD
THE POOR ARE POORER
THE RICH CARE FOR NOTHING
DRUGS ARE THE ONLY ANSWER
SEX BRINGS DISEASE AND DEFECTS
NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST IN 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
FOOD DOESN'T FOOD ANYMORE
'MEAT' IS MURDER
CULLING US IS THE ONLY OPTION
MARS IS 'STILL AN OPTION'
LOVE IS DEAD
HATE IS A SECRET BUSINESS
RIVERS ARE SHIT
SEA LEVELS ARE FLOODING US
AND I'M PSYCHO, SINGLE, ALONE, AND MENTALLY ILL

poem and main vocal performance written and performed by Jack Timothy Oake Randell (Raven Jak)
Guitar composed and performed by Raman Reti Grant (Noodle)

recorded, engineered, and produced by Jack Timothy Oake Randell (Raven Jak) and Raman Reti Grant (Noodle)

Just like clockwork, all the apples fall
all the leaves float down - everything stalls
just like every year, amidst the mist and milky due
the woman of the winter pays her due
But alas, what is never as certain as the 'seasons is our freedom' for the reason is the grasp over the 'Serfs'.
'Peasants' of such strength - such beauty such individuality ruled like the cattle and swept like the path
A nest in the branches could be seen as being more secure than the Human Avalanches,
Oh they fall with such grief to the 'little man' and his family.
Just like clockwork, all the finest of society start to crumble like dirt
Just like every period in our history, beauty comes from end and start, the Master man of War plans a last and final gore-fest to see his Empire off and let the east be on the path to sprout as fast as Snowbells
Aye
we will see the demise sit back and enjoy the ride
Just. Like. Clockwork.

This Way That Way For Words R&R - 07:04:2024, 21.23

lyrics written by Bob Dylan (Robert Zimmerman)
music composed, performed, engineered, recorded, produced and published by Jack Timothy Oake Randell (Raven Jak)

come you masters of war, you that build all the guns
you that build the death planes, you that build the big bombs
you that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks
I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW I CAN SEE THROUGH YOUR MASKS

you that never done nothing, but build to destroy
you play with my world, like its your little toy
you put a gun in my hand, and you hide from my eyes
AND YOU TURN AND RUN FASTER WHEN FAST BULLETS FLY

like Judas of old, you lie and deceive 
a world war can be won, you'd have us believe
but i see through your eyes, and I see through your brain
LIKE I SEE THROUGH THE WATER THAT RUNS DOWN MY DRAIN

you fasten the triggers, for the others to fire
then you sit back and watch, when the death count gets higher
you hide in your mansion, as young peoples blood
FLOWS OUT OF THEIR BODIES AND IS BURIED IN THE MUD

you've thrown the worst fear, that can ever be hurled
fear to bring children into this world
for threatening my baby, unborn and unnamed
YOU AIN'T WORTH THE BLOOD THAT RUNS IN YOUR VEINS

how much do I know, to talk out of turn
you might say I'm young, you might say I'm unlearned
there's one thing I know, though I'm younger than you
EVEN BUDDHA WOULD NEVER FORGIVE WHAT YOU DO

let me ask you one question, is your money that good
will it buy you forgiveness, do you think it could
i think you will find, when your death takes toll
ALL THE MONEY YOU MADE WILL NEVER BUY BACK YOUR SOUL

and I hope that you die, and your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket, in the pale afternoon
and I'll watch while your lowered, down to your deathbed
I'LL STAND OVER YOUR GRAVE TILL I'M SURE THAT YOUR DEAD

Masters Of War - RENDITION- 10:04:2024, 15.05

lyrics written by Raven Jak (Jack Timothy Oake Randell) and Toby Parker
music composed by Raven Jak (Jack Timothy Oake Randell)

never going back there again
it never game me the people i was seeking
only seeking wasters and haters
i was scared of being dragged from light

i'm not saying i fear the dark
but i don't want black i want colour
the green and purple and blues swirling around
holding hands of joy of life

and freedom is the drug we've all taken

the blossoms in bloom smell so good
the life i get from you? don't let me never forget it
the path of moss is soft underfoot

i cannot forget the kindness you gave
where to find the key to every heart
and walk on the arm across the world

i will find you again my soul friend

(Solo)

be in my dreams i will pinch myself
and pinch you too
as it's the first of the month
you should expect a punch

want to climb in the ring and here, have a knuckle-sandwich lunch?

no i'm never going back there again
blood-brother just wake me and say when
no i'm never going back there again
blood-brother just meet me
say when
say when
say when!

no i'm never going back there again
blood brother just wake me and say when
no i'm never going back there again
blood brother just wake me and say when

i know how to make money
playing a guitar
it's not much money
but i know i will go far
i know how to rake in pennies
on the guitar
on the guitar, that's what i know
pluck a couple of strings
suddenly you're Sting or Bowie or Gallaghers too
you make a Sterling and then more Sterlings
follow them in two-by-two
follow them in two-by-two
to then make ten again

(guitar solo)

follow them in two-by-two
follow them in two-by-two
follow them in two-by-two
to then make lots again

Don't Let The Bastards Grind You Down - 14:04:2024, 04.23

A story based on a blues song written by Amie Randell
written by Amie Randell, Jack Randell
produced by Sebastian Godfroid
copyright control 2020

In no way shape or form does this song reflect the writer's opinion on small animals, No animals were harmed in the making of this song

I woke up one morning and got out of bed
and i stepped on a hedgehog and thought it was dead
then in the end it is this that is what was said
i hope you're in pain boy oh i really do
'cause you flattened me like something under your shoe
and when i see you again mark my words true
i'll snuff you out with my whole hedgehog crew son
he limped out my doorway and rolled down the stairs 
now i'm really worried i'm pulling my hair out
a foot full of spines and a feeling of pain
rode to the cafe had no-one to blame
pulled out my wallet and bought me a coke
and i couldn't tell if i was part of a joke
a gypsy a farmer and all kinds of folk were there
well i guess its safe to say that we were scared
the gypsy began with a story that animals all live in fear
and as i was sat on this rickety chair i wondered
what do they fear most?
so he continued i started to calm 
when who should roll in with a very big army of friends, acquaintances, motley crew,
eyes and spines directed at you
didn't quite know what the devil to do
well if i was you i'd make way for the hedgehog crew...
and that crippled little hedgehog with an evil grin was there
he pointed at me yeah he pointed at me
the fury in his beady eyes shone brighter than the brightest skies
he pointed at me yeah he pointed at me
and they all ran at once and the farmer started to scream!
spines they were flying all over the place
cries of the women reaching for their mace
aim it at them please not into my face
i knew what i had to do-oo
i got stuck in with a leg and an arm
intention was never to cause any harm
i lost my temper, sound the alarm!
boy, those hedgehogs flew...
the dust it then settled how i was appalled
at the rodent limbs sliding off all of the walls
i picked up a table, a chair and a stool
invited the gypsy to play me at pool
now if you're thinking that that was the end
of the war on the hogs, it's nice to pretend
my foot is now healing and back on the mend
the foxes and badgers are safe again...
a week or two later in front of a paper 
a nice cup of tea and a piping hot pizza
a hedgehog broke in with a magnum 9mm!
he said all predictably "You're gonna die! so listen up punk, say your goodbye!"
I over-reacted threw pepperoni in his eye
the critter was angry and rightly so for the meat on the go
i was brought up to know it's not right to fight the slow
when all said and done and you stop having fun
and a rodent creeps in and starts waving a gun in your face
pull out the blender, turn the blighter into paste
