about

It's very hard to predict the future, but we spend a lot of money on it. Shell Oil have an entire 'Scenarios' department who are dedicated to doing this. Sci-fi is a multi-billion dollar industry. But it's comical how we distort and play out one or two factors and, more often than not, end up getting it very wrong. Who hasn't seen the film where a human talks to an alien on a really big, rotary dial telephone?

lyrics

It could be me, it could be you
It could be me, or anyone we know
You could be the first to go
To the countryside or down to the coast
Yes it's true, houses are too
Expensive but we'll just rent till we've saved for a year or two
Cuz I never wanna move
Our town's the best and we got proof

I never take the riverboat to work
The river snakes through the city centre and breaks
It in two, all spread out, green brown and blue
Our town's got something for everyone!

The city grew, houses are new
Buildings live and breathe and adapt to what people do
Slight roadways are barely used
More decorative, preserved for historical value
And on skyways we all move
And in our heads we see what we choose
At work and play tech has improved
But in truth we're just the same, and so we give the past it's due

The river snakes through the city centre always
The water sparkles so clear because the bed's been paved
Piping's been laid, silver and grey, the ores we crave are there
We're mining for utopia!

The future's ours
