The Wheels of Meaning

from Dance on the Ceiling by Tatchell and the Tambourine

lyrics

Power 'is' the Control of meaning
Freedom 'is' the Creation of meaning
Madness 'is' the Destruction of meaning

If to chase a dream
Wish to dance on the ceiling
Or enter the kingdom
And seek freedom
Not merely in part but in meaning
Powerful and mad you must be
And so it is inversely of all the three
This much can be seen:

What is the mad man 'to do'?
Learn to, create and control
And what of the free?
Learn to, control and destroy
What is the powerful person to do?
Learn to, create and destroy
But what of the boy?
Let him play with his toys.

about

Tatchell and the Tambourine England, UK

We don't listen to music anymore, we listen to song.
Don't go anymore,
Except where we belong.
But I know a Gym
Called Whisky and Gin
A full deck only
The Big man 'll
Let you in
There is no end
Or place to begin
Or even win
Only a whole glass
Half full of Slim
And a friendly soul
Who no doubt you'll
Know not at all
But let's call him Jim
For he wears a grin.
