Autumn Almanac

All the stars in the sky will be dissolved 

 and the heavens rolled up like a scroll; 

all the starry host will fall 

like withered leaves from the vine, 

 like shriveled figs from the fig tree.

~  Isaiah 34

The Future

 

See, Damascus will no longer be a city 

but will become a heap of ruins.

~ Isaiah 17

I Ain't That Kind Of Baby

Can a mother forget 

the baby at her breast 

and have no compassion 

on the child she has borne? 

Though she may forget, 

 I will not forget you!

~ Isaiah 49

Black Coffee

I go about blackened, but not by the sun; 

I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.

~ Job 30

Autumn Stone

Do I have the strength of stone?

~ Job 6

Nothing Is Written (I Will Wait)

All the days of my hard service 

I will wait for my renewal to come.

Mustapha by Farrokh Bulsara

and he has appointed me

 to build a temple for him 

at Jerusalem in Judah.

I've Seen the Saucers

This was the appearance 

and structure of the wheels:

 They sparkled like topaz,

 and all four looked alike.

Each appeared to be made like a wheel

 intersecting a wheel.

~  Ezekiel 1

If you forsake the LORD 

and serve foreign gods, 

he will turn and bring disaster on you 

and make an end of you, 

after he has been good to you...

Why Does A Pretty Girl Sing Those Sad Songs?

But grant me this one request,” she said. 

“Give me two months to roam the hills 

and weep with my friends, 

because I will never marry.”

~  Judges 11

I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know

Turn, LORD, and deliver me;
 save me because of your unfailing love.
~ Psalm 6

The Girl With The Mousy Hair

They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”

 “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, 

“and I don’t know where they have put him.”

~  John 20

It's a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling "No"
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks
through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she's hooked to the silver screen
But the film is a saddening bore
For she's lived it
ten times or more
She could spit in the eyes of fools
As they ask her to focus on
Sailors fighting in the dance hall
Oh man!
Look at those cavemen go
It's the freakiest show
Take a look at the Lawman
Beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know
He's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?

It's on Amerika's tortured brow
That Mickey Mouse
has grown up a cow
Now the workers
have struck for fame
'Cause Lennon's on sale again
See the mice in their million hordes
From Ibeza to the Norfolk Broads
Rule Britannia is out of bounds
To my mother, my dog, and clowns
But the film is a saddening bore
'Cause I wrote it
ten times or more
It's about to be writ again
As I ask you to focus on ...

Fashion

And as he prayed, 

the fashion of his countenance was altered, 

and his raiment was white and glistering.

~ Luke 9

Space Jews

Now therefore,
if ye will obey my voice indeed,
and keep my covenant,
then ye shall be a peculiar treasure
unto me above all people:
 for all the earth is mine
~  Exodus 19

They have us taped
They have us pat
They are extraterrestrial, extraterritorial
Where did they come from? No-one can say
One possible explanation is that they

Are Space Jews

Jews from outer space

Sent to walk amongst us

To improve the human race
Space Jews
Jews from outer space
Jews from outer space
They gave us a messiah
They gave us a morality
They help us lead good lives from up above
They are Space Jews
They're giving us a message of love

For them we're clear
They see right through
All the stupid and murderous things we do ..... 

or would like to
The Nobel prize never goes to the goys
Who split the atom?
Einstein, Oppenheimer and the Freuds
Every one of them

Space Jews
Jews from outer space
Sent to walk amongst us
To improve the human race
Space Jews
Jews from outer space
Jews from outer space
They're doctors and they're lawyers
They're astronaut philosophers
They're holding up a mirror from above
They are Space Jews
They're bringing us a message of love

We are from Earth
But they're from space
And that's where we'll all go one day
If we have enough faith
Together we'll colonise the stars
They can take us that far
Mr Spock on the Enterprise will be our guide
Vulcans too are .....

Space Jews
Jews from outer space
Sent to walk amongst us
To improve the human race
Space Jews
Jews from outer space
Jews from outer space
And I really admire them
I really want to be like them
And when you want to be one
That's all you need to feel like one
For in the words of one of them
Theodor Adorno:
"Soul is just the longing
Of those with no soul
For redemption"
So why don't you come and join them?
Space Jews
We're bringing you a vision of love
