The Poolie Bunker

Pretty scary when you re-listen to it, It's got something of Nostradamus about it bearing in mind it was written in the 60's


lyrics........

In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lie
Everything you think, do and say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
You ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to chew
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms hangin' limp at your sides
Your legs got nothin' to do
Some machine's doin' that for you
In the year 6565
You won't need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube
In the year 7510
If God's a coming, He oughta make it by then
Maybe He'll look around Himself and say
Guess it's time for the judgment day
In the year 8510
God is gonna shake His mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down, and start again
In the year 9595
I'm kinda wonderin' if man is gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing
Now it's been ten thousand years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what, he never knew, now man's reign is through
But through eternal night, the twinkling of starlight
So very far away, maybe it's only yesterday
In the year 2525, if man is still alive
If woman can survive, they may find

We’re going down that road already, not lead, but dragged unwillingly by those politicians who have lost touch with the electorate and listen only to their own people, who inhabit another planet in their collective heads.
Democracy for the undemocratic, you get given what they want, not what you want.

All about inequality, the rich are becoming richer, Gary Stevenson in Gary Economics sums it up but he does go on a bit though, long watch and can be a bit to in depth to understand. A normal type fella who was good at mathematics and went on to be a millionaire.

never mind 2525, 2125 does not look that good.

Wonder if we’re back in the Football League in 2525…….playing at the Featherstone Stadium…?

hope we do not have to wait that long though for the shrine to be built with a pool around it where we have to wash our hands and feet before entering the ground for pre match prayers for st.nicky.
