If you don't mind me saying it has a Steely Dan/Orange Juice feel. I like it

A thousand square miles
They all look the same 
Them architects clueless
But no ones to blame

Concrete and Glass

This Machine Builds Fascists is about how I feel capitalism has led to a sense of global insecurity which has resulted in a surge of right wing populist thought which verges on fascism.

We made a machine, made a machine
A marvellous modern machine
It roars and it screams, roars and it screams
Gobbling oil and spitting out steam
What does it do? What does it do?
Tell us all, what does it do?
It strikes a spark that lights a fuse

All you gathered in this place
Lift your gaze towards the light
All you gathered in this place
Lift your gaze towards the light
And we need never live in darkness
While our engines make their mark upon the night


The smoke and the sigh, the screech and the sound
The grind of the gears spinning round
The gnashing of teeth, the rumbling ground
The echoes resound and resound
Rattling nerves, rattling bone
A treacherous shaking of stone
To bring down everything you’ve known

All you gathered in this place
Raise your hands to feel the heat
All you gathered in this place
Raise your hands to feel the heat
And you can dream about the feeling
While you’re shivering and reeling in the street


We made a machine, made a machine
A marvellous modern machine
It roars and it screams, roars and it screams
Gobbling oil and spitting out steam
What does it do? What does it do?
Tell us all, what does it do?
It strikes a spark that lights a fuse
