lyrics

All Aboard
Words & Music by Neil Pike ©2014
All aboard, the captain said.
If you don't know where you're going to, you'll soon enough be led
From the first day that we're born, we're all waiting to be dead
So just enjoy what's in between it.

All of our hunger we carry in our eyes
Most of the rest’s a serpent's nest we bury in lies
And sometimes we remember our infinite size
But mostly we just think we dream it.
So…

Chorus:
Cry like a martyr or laugh like a fool
Cling to every lesson you learnt in school
Truth is quite subjective but the rich men make the rules.
It really is that simple and stark.
And you tell me I'm too negative, you say it's all quite fine
Doing nothing's better than wasting time.
But hope is still a virtue at the end of the line.
Or else it’s all just whispers in the dark
Listen to your heart.

Time & motion on the empire's wall
It sounds just like an echo in an empty hall
We could rise to the occasion or reach the edge & fall
But you better make your mind up soon.
And you & I are just the moments we all share
The love that lies between us & the sorrow we all bear
And all your best intentions are particles of air
' cause only actions change the tune.
Still you…

Chorus:
Cry like a martyr or laugh like a fool
Cling to every lesson you learnt in school
Truth is quite subjective and the rich men make the rules.
It really is that simple and stark.
And you say that I’m too negative, you say it's all quite fine
‘cause doing nothing's better than wasting time.
But hope is still a virtue at the end of the line.
Or else it’s all just whispers in the dark
Listen to your heart.

about

The Pagan Love Cult image

The Pagan Love Cult Australia

The Pagan Love Cult is the longest running psychedelic musical group in Oztralia. Operating in one form or another since the 1970s and based in the tiny rainforest-shrouded hippie town of Nimbin, their music is a hypnotic mixture of acoustic instruments, emotive vocals, swirling soundscapes, solid drums and intelligent lyrics. Close your eyes, relax and take the journey... ... more
