I find it opens up my mind and settles me a little, allows me too think. It has no vocals but seems to have something in it that I love.

Horrible Histories is brilliant.
Divorced, beheaded and died,
Divorced, beheaded survived.
I'm Henry the eighth, I had six sorry wives.
Some might say I ruined their lives.

Re: What songs inspire you philosophically?
That's a hard question! I consider myself a songwriter, but I don't know if I am philosophical with my songwriting. I'm sure there are more songs that get me thinking philosophically, but I can't think of many more right now.

Not so philosophical, really, but what is philosophy but a vehicle to understanding, and what is understanding if not deeper meaning, and what is this if not poetry to music.....or something like that.

There's a man who runs the country
There's a man who tried to think
And they're all made out of plastic
When they melt they start to stink
There's a book with smiling children
Nearly dead with Christmas joys!
And smiling in his office
Is the creep who makes the toys . . .
or "Brown Shoes Don't Make It"
Be a jerk-go to work
Be a jerk-go to work
Do your job, and do it right
Life's a ball
TV tonight
Do you love it
Do you hate it
There it is
The way you made it
A world of secret hungers
Perverting the men who make your laws
Every desire is hidden away
In a drawer in a desk by a Naugahyde chair
On a rug where they walk and drool
Past the girls in the office
