Some lyrics to ponder

SONGS FROM 'THE MIDDLE EAST'

"We have material minds and restless hands,

longing hearts and empty beds.

So we purchase stuff and work too hard,

use our heads and fill our beds.

What have we done?"

- Lonely

"What we have is good as gold,

malleable, good to hold.

Molding's good, cos life is change.

Change is good and you are good at changing me.

There'll be an avalanche

on this desert land

it will come down

it will come down  to be

the evidence of heaven. I know

I love you

cos I know you well."

- Fool's Gold

"Your hair is long, but not long enough to reach home to me

but your beard someday might be."

- Blood

"Love was a sold Gibson 335 and your father's dream died that night, just to keep the electricity on."

- The Darkest Side

I feel edified reading and hearing these lyrics. I hope The Middle East visit NZ sometime.
