There must be an Angel playing with my heart
So I fired up google and the first article I clicked (have looked but never found it since) told this tale. In brief their are two angels one rises up tears the veil between the spirit world and the real world and takes over the whole world enslaving and consuming the earth (we shall call her the queen). The other runs away hides out in the north in the wilds and then exacts furiuos revenge possibly the destruction of everything. I can handily depict some of the themes because a month later the coop released this advert. Of course this doesn't depict an angel enslaving the world but everyside had its proporganda.
None of this is biblical it does not cross reference with anything but It was enough to convince me that well to put it bluntly when romance doesn't work out its not normally the END of the F**ing WORLD.
As I figured that I was probably the running away angel I promptly attempted to run away taking weapons for defence. this resulted in my spending 2 weeks locked up in the local mental health ward.
While in there I struggled to write any songs although I was playing a lot the metaphor not being metaphor anymore rather dampened my spirits. I guess I knew by the songs that the way through this was to write the right songs get the girl and everything would be alright but it didn't seem likely. I figured there had to be another way after all who would want to take over and consume the earth.
There were still a lot of things I wasn't sure about I mean this sort of stuff might happen a lot.... Maybe who knows.
Then there were all the songs … Suddenly lyrics had a meaning
However two good things did happen.. There was the miracle on the Hudson
and I made a candlestick..well a statue but as I said at last minute thought I know Ill make it usefull.
For some reason the candlestick swung it and everything was going to be alright. This lasted about a week before I probably put my foot in it in some way and then the whole takeover thing was very much on track again.
This would become a theme.
I fought in a War
So at first I'm brave but probably just stupid. I'm the good guy right holding back evil and it sure felt like evil at first there were threats of violence and intimidation. I had my instructions all the 4 previous ones plus write a funny song that mentions her name and marriage... save the world.
The sharp eyed amongst you will note that I already had written a song with all those but it wasn't funny. I hadn't realised that at the time and I had not written the chords down anyway so I couldn't play it.
I thought I'm fighting evil here wont be long and the cavalry will arrive and they probably know what they're doing.
However no cavalry lots of truely awful attempts to write funny songs and an increasingly slight understanding of the complexity of the issues not to mention the number of songs that figured I wouldn't do it led to some tempering of my bravery.
So what was the mountain ? who controlled the sea ? Who was the joker ? who was the King ? What was the Train ?
I was getting suggestions that her people were going to start a war to end all wars. Its still a war. The future seemed filled with horror and I seemed to be the only one who could stop it.
The songs and the other signals were a game of deception though. For every white dove sailing the seas there was a god save the queen.
Then there was the biblical connection who was I who was she ?
For a long time I stuck to love largely because in the go left or right game I didn't know and seemed to be fated to get it wrong anyway. So I stalled.
I tried to look into both sides I backed away from the church because it softened things on both sides.
However there was an urgency iI still had to give up smoking which I would do for a couple of weeks and then crumble again.
Anyway by April the time ran out. I failed as predicted.
Something inside me was pleased.
I still don't think it would have entered my consciousness that I had stalled long enough for the forces of evil to regain control.
In the end I think I went for the train. but it was late partly because I think I began to see that the world as it is that we are already enslaved and consuming the earth. That maybe change is necessary and that cat stevens was right when he called it the peace train.
I also stopped going to the open mics stopped writing songs and stopped listening to music.
Two riders were approaching and the wind began to howl
That is a brief synopysis of 3 months of hell brief successes that would have you filled so full of love you would think you would pop to dark troughs of despair. This was the last song I sang. In the end there is only one winner and hes already won.
Jesus Christ.

I always thought the line was...
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own ?
To be honest this is one of the many conundrums of this whole thing. I don't really have that many beliefs I'm an ex humanist. I know/believe that Jesus is real and is coming back. Which is also bob parleys belief
So if I do have any beliefs they are largely the same ones as bob Marley. So why does he say he has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs ?
