"C'mon pack your bags, clear the floor
Let's step out through the open door
Leave a note that says goodbye

Build a new house down by the sea
Get to the place we were meant to be
You'll know it when you smile

Up at the window, searchin' the sky
Looking for the rainbow and don't ask my
I wanna see the rainbow come
Hey

We'll be leaving on all sides, hmmm
When the rainbow comes

Mr. Postman, look and see
If there's a message in your bag for me
Could be a bomb or it could be a letter
It don't matter, it can only get better
Mr. Postman, look and see
If there's a message in your bag for me
You know it's been such a long, long time
Since I could laugh at this world of mine
Yeah, yeah

Slippin' and slidin' around in your head
It's be-bop-a-lula then baby you're dead
So c'mon make a bright new day

I need a prayer here, need a blessing
Cast an eye back as you run
Turn around boy, see the rainbow come
Hey

You'll be leaving on all sides
When the rainbow comes
When the rainbow comes

See the world from all sides
When the rainbow comes
When the rainbow comes
Hey"

Alrighty then. Went on FB for my weekly check-in -- just long enough to firm up plans with a friend (though they have my phone #, whatev), get my niece's new phone number, post some political memes (that won't get seen), and then gave advice to a local about dealing with hydrogen sulfide odors in their pipes. Seems a bit appropriate! How to get rid of sewer smells from the stench of fascism? It might require bleach, but try baking soda, vinegar and hot water first...

The Silent but Deadly Enemy: How to Neutralize Sewer Smell
September 26, 2024 by Francis Olson

"The pungent aroma of sewage [#fascism] is an unwelcome guest in any home or business [or country]. It’s a potent mixture of hydrogen sulfide, methane, and other volatile organic compounds that can make your eyes water, your nose curl, and your stomach turn [and pollute the environment]. But don’t worry, we’ve got the solution! In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into the world of sewer smell neutralization, exploring the causes, consequences, and – most importantly – the cures for this unpleasant problem."

The next time I heard #SineadOConnor 's (#ShudadaSadaqat 's ) voice was later in 1987, on #WorldParty's premiere album, #PrivateRevolution. Sinead provided backing vocals and helped out with a few songs. #KarlWallinger returned the favor by helping Sinead with her premiere album, The Lion and the Cobra!

On one song in particular, #HawaiianIslandWorld , Sinead provides the haunting vocals of someone being sacrificed -- but to what is she being sacrificed to? Perhaps to the "gods" of #CorporateColonialism!

2022: #WorldParty’s ‘#PrivateRevolution’ Tackled #Environmental Concerns 35 Years Ago

Seeds planted in the Reagan years continue to bear poison fruit. On Private Revolution, World Party presaged today’s “There is no planet B” slogan 35 years ago.

By Cheryl Graham / 1 March 2022

"By the mid-1980s, the modern environmental movement had fractured into a cornucopia of causes, including #antinukes and #RacialJustice. The music of the day, by and large, did not champion those concerns.

"Enter World Party, the solo project of Welsh musician and producer #KarlWallinger. After a stint playing keyboards [and other instruments] in #TheWaterboys, Wallinger released #PrivateRevolution, World Party’s debut album, in March 1987. Recorded and produced by Wallinger, its ten original songs center on environmental themes, emphasizing personal responsibility. It’s all set to a sound incorporating groovy psychedelic synths with earthy piano and percussion. Wallinger sings and plays all of the instruments, except for saxophone on one track by #AnthonyThistlethwaite (Waterboys) and violin by Steve Wickham (Waterboys and In Tua Nua) on another. Backing vocals are provided by an unknown Irish singer named #SineadOConnor."

PopMattersWorld Party's 'Private Revolution' Tackled Environmental ConcernsSeeds planted in the Reagan years continue to bear poison fruit. On Private Revolution, World Party presaged today's "There is no planet B" slogan 35 years ago.

My theme song (since 1987):

"If you want a revolution, baby
There is nothing like your own
You don't have to do all those burning books
Revolutionize at home

Someone's been hiding the pieces
Someone been burning down the trees
So we need your revolution, baby
There's a planet to set free

We are the revolution, baby
Come to take you home
If you say you want a revolution, baby
There is nothing like your own

We are the revolution, baby
Come to set you free
After you revolution, baby
There is nothing you can't be

Man's been killing the tigers
Turn the green fields into sand
And their saying how much they respect our work
Oh, god and his final hand

But the world spins on regardless
Which is lucky for you and me
'Cause of all the places in a year's ride from here
This is the only place to be

We are the revolution
Come to take you home
If you say you want a revolution, baby
There is nothing like your own

We are the revolution, baby
Come to set you free
After you revolution, baby
There is nothing you can't be

Don't need a red light
Don't need a blue light
Don't need a yellow light

Take off from the green light now
Take off from the green light now
Take off from the green light now

We got a revolution, baby
Come to take you home
If you say you want a revolution
There is nothing like your own

We are the revolution, baby
We've come to set you free
After you revolution, baby
There is nothing you can't be"

And their saying how much they respect our work
Of God and his fine old hand

But the world spins on regardless
Which is lucky for you and me
'Cause of all the places in a years' ride from here
This is the only place to be

We are the revolution, baby
We've come to set you free
After you revolution, baby
There is nothing you can't be"

"We're setting sail
To the place on the map
From which no one has ever returned
Drawn by the promise of the joker and the fool
By the light of the crosses that burn
Drawn by the promise of the women and the lace
And the gold and the cotton and pearls
It's the place where they keep all the darkness you need
You sail away from the light of the world
On this trip, baby

You will pay tomorrow
You're gonna pay tomorrow, yeah
You will pay tomorrow"
