Prophetic Words
I found two old lp's today, one was Al Stewart's Past, Present and Future and the other King Crimson's 'In the Court of King Crimson'.
I bought said album in 1973, I noted the cover sleeve notes and the lyrics of song 'Nostradamus' - Al Stewart interprets this prophecy into the song
In the new lands of America
three brothers now shall come to power
Two alone are born to rule but all must die before
their hour
Two Great men yet brothers not make the north
united stand
In power be seen to grow, and fear possess the
eastern lands
Three leagues from the gates of Rome a Pope
named Pol (Paul) is doomed to die
A great wall that divides a city at this time is cast
aside
Even with Al's lyrical simplification of the prophecies we cannot really determine whether they have actually been fulfilled - (bear in mind this album was released in 1973). OK, so what have we got that resonates in the present in the present day.
"Two great men...and fear possess the eastern lands"
Blair and Bush kicking ass around Eastern Lands?
That is all I can see.
Moving onto 21st Schizoid Man (lyrics Pete Sinfield)
We have a very chaotic world indeed.
Cat’s foot iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia’s poison door.
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Blood rack barbed wire
Politicians’ funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
Twenty first century schizoid man.
Death seed blind man’s greed
Poets’ starving children bleed
Nothing he’s got he really needs
Twenty first century schizoid man
It speaks of murder and mayhem caused by war. It speaks of the guilty party who cause it.
It seems that Blair fits this bill - those idiots who carried out the bombings on the tubes and buses in London said they did so because of his involvement in the Iraq war. Ayman al-Zawahiri, came out of his cave and into a tent and put his Kalashnikov behind him, but in camera view - this guy is really out to develop penis envy - what a bozo; he told us to expect more attacks because of Britain's involvement in Iraq.
Blair, on the other hand, says that the attacks are nothing to do with Britain's involvement in Iraq. Like it or not, the authors of the attacks have authorship of the reasons of why they attacked.
Schizoid comes into the equation when Blair ignores the other elements when producing his polemic (he is the inventor of 'One size fits all Politics') this is at the expense of reality and the facts.
