Song of the Moment
In a word... perfection!
Now settle in...
click...
watch 'n listen!
(click "more" for the lyrics)
The Tommy Raw blog will entertain the shit outta you... I hope! By bringing real life situations, mishaps and observations to life within a slang-using, foul-mouthed narrative that will pull you right into the entire mess! See ya inside...
So stupid right... lol |
Recycled (1975)

Recycled Part A. Recycle
call me down, the time is here
reminding you to slow the wheel
now, nearing the end of the day
look, never a moment too soon, or late
count the hours, the weeks, the days
forcing natures' slow decay
here, as we look down on you there
you, falling on into your web of despair
man! you had it all your own way
now, salvaging blocks of decay
clean the scene
change machines!
Recycled Part B. Cybernetic Consumption
[instrumental]
Recycled Part C. Recycle Countdown
talk away, the die is cast
all the day, the reasons last
just look what is happening here
see, never a day without fear... it's here
calm me down, I have to share
before the world I stand declared
hear these words at the end of the day
come never a moment too soon, or late
man! you've had it all your own way
now, salvaging blocks of decay
clean the scene
change machines!
Recycled Part D. Automaton Horrorscope
"Webs of concrete, giving off waste dust that
marks the search of an age of a thousand vast
empires, sweeping away legends untold to
human ears. While shafts of steel clutch the
stars, natural supplies... once numerous...
now lapse into eerie silence. Recycled energy
becomes the only form of life, as it was, and
now new forms are moulded from patterns
already used in a struggle to survive!"
you had me thinking that I'd lost my mind
but no, it was you
thought you'd make it to a better time
'til now, but it's through
your castles made of sand
hold out your helpless hands
going down down down down down down down
they take it all, then take much more... today
no man could ever realize his mistakes
they'll help you one step down
sit back, and watch you drown
going down down down
going down down down down down down
Recylced Part E. Recycling
here, there, new wonders gently steal
disguise distorted like moonlit seas
and I see... you've taken all you need
queue up, don't fear
there's mans new fortune here... you hear
song-birds, recycling the same old tune
still you slave onwards, 'til all is used
but I'll see... you get the life you need
queue up, don't fear
it's the man who brought you here... you hear
Recycled Part F. Flight to Reality
you live in stainless forts
with glass walls around
fight against resources
with your head in the ground
a nations urgent need fulfills another's greed
going down down down down down down down
fly 'cross the concrete jungle
high in the clouds
looking up to crystal mountains
standing so proud
no need to wonder why, nature slowly dies
going down down down
going down down down down down down down
Recycled Part G. Unendless Imagination?
do you see?
do you see?
do you, do you see?
do you see?
do you see the ruins of a life
that's gone by?
built upon by burning towers
lighting the sky
imagine you're the prince of eagles
tears in your eyes
do you see there's not much time
before we go
down down... down down down down
going down... oh yeah going down.......
Recycled Part H. São Paulo Sunrise
dream, away on the waves
using the money you've saved
our work is done, we'll bathe in the sun
gonna take a trip, let's fly down to Rio
some solitude is all that we need
deserted beach where the air is so free-o
Recycled Part I. Costa Del Sol
cares cast aside, see the seas calm and wide
small isle, virgin paradise
warm smiles, floating in the tides
find some desolate place
now it's out of the way
soon, through words passed by mouth
friends are crowding you out
same place, natures changed its face
warm smiles, stretching out for miles
searching in haste, finding refuge and waste
Recycled Part J. Marvellous Moses
never thought he'd ever get his metal boat
to fly in the air
Moses did it... with a string at each end
we nearly all died when he tugged and he sighed
saying "you are the fools"
Moses did it... with his hair tied to his shoes
come around here
they say you've got something to hide
I've never met a man like Moses
with so much time
Moses had a thought to put another hill on a mountain
Moses did it... with a spoon in each hand
to our surprise Moses closed up his eyes
saying "show me no rules"
Moses did it... with his arms tied to his side
came the great day Moses tried to drink a lake for a penny
Moses did it... oh man, he looked heavy
he walked around all day, saying
"I've got so much pain, give me a shove"
Moses did it... tourist attraction!
Recycled Part K. It's All Over
come tomorrow
I'm going to be the one that
you will follow
your world is so upside down
'cause it's all over now
take the high road
and you'll take the low one
see it all through those passing hours
these moments seem so inside out
it's all over now
it's all over!
see the daytime, you've seen the darkness
I'm torn apart through those many changes
a feeling that you'll understand
it's all over now
see me walking and hear me talking
I'll guide you all through those endless ages
your world was so upside down
but it's all over now
it's all over
a feeling that you'll understand
it's all over
