I was a refugee
Came here to stay
I found asylum in the union jack
Made me this way
Days when the world collapsed,
I stood and stared
The states have woken up
Took us to war.
Fuckin' immature.

It's not empires anymore: you don't have to fight back
Read a book and see: it's not about countries it's a whole wide world you're in.

Find me the courage to protest this war
Find me the money
My family's poorer now, since century 21
That is my worry.

I know I shouldn't be
Blaming you for this.
We've all been empires.
I'm just as wrong as you
But I want to show you my bad temper.

Now for the first time, you'll be able to follow the war
24/7 around the clock coverage live
Today we lost 5 journalists, gave their lives to bring the news
News with extra flavour now, no other network brings to you

Turn it off, close your eyes
Your choosing when you give your lives
Close your mouth, don't reply
Only real people don't tell lies

You're protecting the homeland so follow your orders my son
Don't let doubt get in your mind, the evil is all in that man.
We are helping these people because they can't police themselves
(so don't feel powerless!)
This guy is a dictator and so we're bombing him to hell.

Wish a sand storm would come and blow all the idiots back home
Please don't die or get hurt, but don't let soldiers play in dirt
There's a court, the ICC, for war crime by B52
Soldier smile, you're on TV. Whatever you do we will see.

I can't write this third verse, don't know what goes on in your mind
Do you smile to yourself when you think of your brilliant plan?
You can play world politics
To make money from a war
You will suffer all the more
because you do not understand what you have done.

Tony Blair, Tony Blair, lost all respect for you back there
Bush JR just a Cunt! Of the two he's more innocent.

Watched the news for 4 hours, got me so down had to turn
On the other channels: more news - so I had to watch Friends...
I was driving home last night. They were protesting about the war.
Don't they know it's started now, and there's not a bloody thing
they're going to change.

'Cos of people
Like us
That we are getting all this fuss
Drive your car, watch TV
Living a human fantasy
You're asleep, animals!
Wake up to nam myoho renge kyo!]]>

It is factory made so has frets and is not meant to be bowed in it's current form. I am trying to learn a few songs so I can play them somewhere in Barcelona, Spain. I'm practicing them in Bristol though, in my garden which is full of birds, and sounds from the house.

I might add some tabla tracks. If you are based in Barcelona and would like to try and work on this towards gigging somehow, please contact me!]]>

Here is what it does so far: 



It works out what to play (so far only a choice between EMF based chirping and the little outbursts of song). 



It then collects 100 samples in the case of the EMF readings, or 25 in the case of the EMF+humidity duet-pulse which you hear all the way through it. Temperature is used mostly to calculate tempo.
