Hawkwind - Urban Guerrilla

I'm an urban guerrilla
I make bombs in my cellar
I'm a derelict dweller
I'm a potential killer
I'm a street fighting dancer
I'm a revolutionary romancer
My rising sign is Cancer
I'm a two-tone panther
So let's not talk of love and flowers
And things that don't explode
We've used up all of our magic powers
Trying to do it in the road

I'm a political bandit
And you don't understand it
You took my dream and canned it
It is not the way I planned it
I'm society's destructor
I'm a petrol bomb constructor
I'm a cosmic light conductor
I'm the people's debt collector
So watch out Mr. Business Man
Your empire's about to blow
I think you'd better listen, man
In case you did not know

I'm an urban, an urban guerrilla
I'm an urban, an urban guerrilla
I'm an urban, an urban guerrilla
I'm an urban, an urban guerrilla
Alright

Listen
You've gotta stay cool, now
You've gotta stay cool
You've gotta stay cool
You've gotta stay cool
You've gotta stay cool
You've gotta stay cool, 'cause I think you're gonna blow it
You've gotta stay cool when you're walkin' on the streets now
You've gotta stay cool when you're lookin' in the alleyway
You've gotta stay cool when you're creepin' in those office blocks
You've gotta stay cool when you're lurkin' in the factory
You've gotta stay cool, got a machine gun in my hand
You've gotta stay cool I wanna blow up all the …
You've gotta stay cool, got a hand grenade
You've gotta stay cool …
You've gotta stay cool, I'm a potential bomb constructor man
You've gotta stay cool, I'm an urban guerrilla, man
You've gotta stay cool, lurkin' in the factory
You've gotta stay cool when you're creepin' in those office blocks
You've gotta stay cool, got to, got to, got to stay
You've gotta stay cool, got to, got to, got to stay
You've gotta stay cool, got to, got to, got to stay
You've gotta stay cool, you've got to stay cool now
You've gotta stay cool, you've got to stay cool now

I'm an urban guerrilla
I make bombs in my cellar
I'm a derelict dweller
I'm a potential killer
I'm a street fighting dancer
I'm a revolutionary romancer
My rising sign is Cancer
I'm a two-tone panther

So watch out Mr. Business Man
Your empire's about to blow
I think you'd better listen, man
In case you did not know

I'm an urban, an urban guerrilla
I'm an urban, an urban guerrilla
I'm an urban, an urban guerrilla
I'm an urban, an urban guerrilla

"How Far We've Come" from Matchbox 20 was playing pretty regularly on the Radio while I was in Hawaii. It's far as I can tell the biggest mainstream Hit with TEOTWAWKI theme:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Matchbox 20', '
')I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
But it's feeling just like every other morning before,
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,
The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour if that
And I started staring at the
passengers who're waving goodbye
Can you tell me what was ever really
special about me all this time?

But i believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well i guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, i guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come

I think it turned ten o'clock but i don't really know
Then i can't remember caring for an hour or so
Started crying and i couldn't stop myself
I started running but there's no where to run to
I sat down on the street and took a look at myself
Said where you going man you know the
world is headed for hell
Say your goodbyes if you've got
someone you can say goodbye to

I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well i guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come

Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, i guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come

Its gone gone baby its all gone
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
It was cool cool, it was just all cool
Now it's over for me and it's over for you
Well its gone gone baby its all gone
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
Well it was cool cool, it was just all cool
Now it's over for me and it's over for you

But i believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well i guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, i guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come

For all those prevaricating about a doomstead (I know this isn't the meaning of the song, but that's the power of a classic, it finds a meaning)

Time

[davep]

and here's one for the doomers

[Jotapay]

I'm an audiophile ($20K+ HiFis until recently) so I'm always searching out well-recorded music that is original. This chick from this Swedish techno duo called 'The Knife' evidently made a solo album and it has a very bleak, Doomer single on it, for which she has already made a video.

I'm not a huge techno/electronica fan (I'm more of a blues/jazz/reggae/classical/bluegrass dude), but like Duke Elington said, "There are two kinds of music, good music and bad." Her blend of tone/theme/voice is very original, IMO.

The best doomer videoclip ever is Pearl Jam - Do the Evolution.
My favourite.

Ps. Your previous avater was much better Jotapay :]

Thought this song may resonate with some members of the peak oil crowd:

I can't believe it,
the way you look sometimes,
like a trampled flag on a city street.
Oh yeh.

And I don't want it,
the things you're offering me,
symilized barcode, quick I.D.
Oh yeh.

'Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy,
I don't know how to live, but i've got a lot of toys.
My Daddy's a lazy middle-class intellectual,
my Mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual.
Ain't life a mystery?
