I guess maybe because it was in part of visualization of a story that I may have, you know,

moved beyond the democratic process and that didn't go down well.

It's the last great invention left to mankind

Screams a drooping lady

Offering her dreamtows

It lists an extortionate prices

And as the notes and coins

I've taken out

I'm taken in

To the factory floor.

It's not a record company album that, you know, the record company will come and say,

what the fuck is that on there, you gotta get rid of that.

There's no singing on that, get rid of that.

And Atlantic did their best like that too, because Almec was a big music person and you know he probably

didn't understand anything about the Lamb Lies down at all.

It's just that he could see that it was something adventurous and he just kind of crossed

his fingers and hoped that we were all in the same band experiencing it.

Really the idea of the album, the Night Siren, is a kind of wake-up call. It's the idea that we are in troubled times at the moment.

And the alternative is the way I've worked with people from all over the world on the album.

We have people from the United States, from the UK, from Azerbaijan, from Hungary, from Israel, from Palestine and I won't have

remembered because it's a whole United Nations of 20 people or so who are on it. But the

message is basically peace. If musicians can work together peacefully, I don't see why
