What with Brexit looming, 1200 more bureaucrats being employed to deal with the mess, the uncertainties for the economy, the effect on relationships with Europe, the threat of thousands of financial services going abroad, the effects on the environment, human rights laws, worker’s rights, future trade agreements, further austerity, effects on trade, effects on public services…………….. it looks a mess.
I certainly don’t like the tone and harmful policies of this exceedingly right-wing government. Cameron was bad enough.
Then there’s the NHS and Schools.
On top of that we have Trump and the division and hatred being stirred up there!
I need something to stop me pessimistically staring into the black hole of the future! I need a dose of Roy Harper pouring vitriol on the establishment and gushing the most beautiful crafted love songs!
As I am still reeling from my house move I shall dig out a few of my favourites from the past.
But for now here is the most beautiful love song: Forever! (from the first album)
Don’t you think we’re Forever?
We’re just spinning leaves
In the flight of a dawn, little girl
Falling through an eternal horizon of time
But as we lie here I’d like to think
That all we’ve got will be ours forever
Don’t you think we’re forever
Don’t you think we’re forever
I can hear a voice
On the wings of a dream, little girl
Melting me into love as it touches my heart
But sheltered in the distance of your sleep
Is all that I could love in a lifetime
Don’t you think we’re forever
Don’t you think we’re forever
Open your eyes
To the call of the winds, little girl
Can’t you here them all saying I’ll always be yours
Lying in the misty morning sun
The pillow of the night still beneath you
Don’t you think we’re forever
Don’t you think we’re forever
