Time... Travelling through time...
1968, love in the air and it feels so great
Groovy is the word
Live how you are and just ignore the herd
1973 and things are cool
If you have got the bread you need to pay for fuel
1983 goes by
Home computers multiply
Time... Travelling through time...
(1991)
And Lo, brandishing axes and swords they came,
The Acolytes of Byron did descend into the shadows
halls of... The Academy
The year is 1996 – the gods of metal smile on thee
By XP-50 and M1, the stage is set for victory
And thus did the Acolytes of Byron march forth
From that sacred place, bearing songs in their arms
And victory in the hearts!
2003, 2003, 2003...
(Excerpt from ‘The Murder Game’, 2013)

Monarch
“If I was a rich man” – that’s passe
Doesn’t cut the mustard much today
But there’s larger dreams to dream
If I was a
Psychotically evil absolute monarch
All the things that I could do!
No more corruption, no more lies
You’ll do as I tell you if you’re wise
And I have no time for fools
No more elections, no more fluff
You’ll do as I tell you - and that’s tough
‘Cause I’m writing all the rules
If I was a
Psychotically evil absolute monarch
All the things that I could do!
You will kneel before me, or if not,
Get sent to the dungeons where you rot
You’ll obey my every will
Citizens shall bow as I pass by
As I have decreed, or they shall die
I have time and lives to kill
If I was a
Psychotically evil absolute monarch
...Thank your lucky stars I’m not.

Pole Song
When the M1 was released in the late 80s, to critical acclaim,
It introduced a number of signature sounds,
Which became staples of dance and techno.
One of these was the ‘Pole’,
But I have no idea what you were supposed to do with it.
So I made something up.
Let’s do The Pole... we’ll make some broken rock’n’roll!
Let’s do The Pole... we’ll make some broken rock’n’roll!
The successor to the M1 was supposed to be called the M10,
But someone from marketing saw it written upside-down.
When the product was launched, it was called the 01W.
Let’s do The Pole... we’ll make some broken rock’n’roll!
