about

“Nobody owns anything but everyone is rich - for what greater wealth can there be than cheerfulness, peace of mind, and freedom from anxiety?”
― Thomas More, Utopia

'Is there any perfect life? I don't think there is really. People go on about how happy they are and what they got and what a lovely home they got, and they've got a new telly and new fitted carpet in the lounge. And I go on about it myself. I'm always saying, oh I want this and I want that. But when you come down to it I don't think there is a perfect life. Really. You just got to make do with what you got and be happy.' Joy, Poor Cow (1967).

lyrics

Werewolf children
Trying to make a million
Alice in Poundland, when will it hit you?
Harder, faster
Each day a new disaster
Wake up, wake up, wake up, we forgive you

Oh, what a time to be alive
Utopia’s a state of mind
Don’t have a care, it’s easy
Grow your hair, believe me now

V2
Over sharing
Performing the act of caring
Signalling virtue, sisters and brothers
Sober, tenser
You were under the influencer
Wake up, wake up, wake up, Frankenstein’s mother

It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
It’s alright
Victorian values were my li - i - ife

Oh, what a time to be alive
Utopia’s a state of mind
Turn down the noise, it’s easy
Embrace the joys completely now
