about

A couple of Jehovah's Witnesses came to the door and asked me whether I'd been thinking about the end of the world enough. So I did. Although possibly not quite in the manner which they had in mind…

lyrics

They come in pairs and hover at my doorway,
One to proffer prophets, the other to agree,
Concerned to know if I have given due attention,
To the end of the world.

Will we decline or overcome?
Are we the all-sufficient ones?
Is the future in our hands?
Can you see what's coming

Towards the nose of our interstellar refuge?
Live and die before there's anything to see,
Two by two, will our cleverness defend us?
Daddy, when will we reach the stars?

Will we decline or overcome?
Are we the all-sufficient ones?
Is the future in our hands?
Can you see what's coming?

And we're taking the world apart
We mine the earth for precious dangers and dig for information in our cells
And though we've barely made a start
Perhaps we can impose a little order, tame the hurricane, rebuild ourselves

Will we decline or overcome?
Are we the all-sufficient ones?
Is the future in our hands?
Can you see what's coming?
Are we really in control?
Can you see what's round the corner?
Are the numbers rolled in advance?
(Hey, who's driving this thing?!)

Jo Wilson Inverness, UK

New album, The Grand Complication, is out now!

Part-time complicated music, made at home when Jo's brain gets too full and some of it escapes, and brought to life with whatever instruments can be found lying around.
