Marshall McLuhan Food Show

Marshall McLuhan Food Show Finale (1971)

Was it a crime to be born human?
we got sentenced to life but we were innocent
now we're only free on the weekends
we need to escape from our prison walls

One day leads right into another
that's what they tell you when you recover
first you take one pill then the other
with a potion like this there's no need to suffer at all

Everybody here is trying to leave
there's someplace better we're dying to be
we gotta keep on feeding the beast 
cause the heart is a shark that never, ever sleeps

We all got ghosts from our pasts
relationships we swore were gonna last
but tomorrow comes too damn fast
it comes head on and makes you crash off the road

People come and people go
when they will you never know
but now I'm OK on my own
at least I think so when I'm completely stoned

(chorus)

Maybe I'll move to Sausalito
open a shop with t-shirts and crystals
and everyday I'll listen to the seagulls
as they cry when they fly out over the sea

And maybe I'll jump into the ocean
if I'm drowning in my emotions
and I run out of my potions
cause my heart is a shark that never, ever sleeps

The Heart Never Sleeps

Make A Difference

Fear and trembling coming down the track ...  A blues shuffle for times of upheaval and war.

Fear And Trembling

My song about being in the moment, rejecting materialism and ambition, and just being satisfied with bearing witness to all that goes on in this crazy but beautiful world for as long as possible - the image is when it was performed on the balcony of the Alban Arena at the 2024 St Albans Sustainability Festival (photo credit Grae J Wall), however this sound recording, whilst still a live single take at Apollo Audio's studio in Hertford, is sonically better.

The Observer (live)

This piece of music has been haunting me on the piano. I took it to the mellotron flute and cello and it told me a different story. Strange how my images always go back to Snowdonia
