Note that the guitar part on the album doesn't always stick to these exact
phrasings, so feel free to add / remove / improvise around this.
I would have put in the number of times you play each part, and the sequence to 
play them in, only I didn't.  You can work it out from the record anyway.
Happy Playing!

William Blake - Auguries of Innocence (complete)
To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. A robin redbreast in a cage Puts all heaven in a rage. A dove-house fill'd with doves and pigeons Shudders hell thro' all its regions. A dog starv'd at his master's gate Predicts the ruin of the state. A horse misused upon the road Calls to heaven for human blood. Each outcry of the hunted hare A fibre from the brain does tear. A skylark wounded in the wing, A cherubim does cease to sing. The game-cock clipt and arm'd for fight Does the rising sun affright. Every wolf's and lion's howl Raises from hell a human soul. The wild deer, wand'ring here and there, Keeps the human soul from care. The lamb misus'd breeds public strife, And yet forgives the butcher's knife. The bat that flits at close of eve Has left the brain that won't believe. The owl that calls upon the night Speaks the unbeliever's fright. He who shall hurt the little wren Shall never be belov'd by men. He who the ox to wrath has mov'd Shall never be by woman lov'd. The wanton boy that kills the fly Shall feel the spider's enmity. He who torments the chafer's sprite Weaves a bower in endless night. The caterpillar on the leaf Repeats to thee thy mother's grief. Kill not the moth nor butterfly, For the last judgement draweth nigh. He who shall train the horse to war Shall never pass the polar bar. The beggar's dog and widow's cat, Feed them and thou wilt grow fat. The gnat that sings ...

John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett Cheryls Going Home
This is the second of my stormy influenced tracks this month. The only connection to a storm though, is the opening line the thunder cracked against the night a great line. My son, when he was doing his English GCSE course work asked me for a hand. I wrote a short story for him and started off with that opening, he got an A for that piece off work. The other topical connection is for poor old Ashley Cole, but his version is Cheryls leaving home. Shame. This has always been one of my faves but I was really surprised when going to work, listening to Sound of the 60s on a Saturday morning and hearing this song over the radio. Not by Otway though, but the original by American folkie Bob Lind. It was the bside off his 1966 hit Elusive butterfly. Getting back to Otway and Barrett they had a good album and one of the best bsides ever Beware of all the flowers a great song. The aside was excellent as well Cor baby thats really free. I also saw Otway on Christmas Eve 1977 or it might have been 1978 at the Chelmsford Rock club, I cant remember the year but I do know that the gig was in my top 5 of all time. Even John Otway who must have done 1000s of shows mentions this one in his biography. The gig was just after Otway and Barrett split up. Musical differences, Wild Willy was a musician and Otway was an idiot. He is a great showman though and still tours. I still go to see him now but he will never be as good as that first time.

Skyclad - The Disenchanted Forest
Artist: Skyclad Title: The Disenchanted Forest Album: Folkémon Lyrics: [The Farm Hand's Ghost:] "My kin and I had laboured hard to reap the yearly harvest. Lain weary on our gathered sheaves we cracked a vat of ale. Poured a toast; Began to boast of who could sup the hardest. Slumped in drunken slumber at the height of wild wassail I woke to find my brothers gone that Autumn eve so balmy. Yet gazed in wide-eyed terror to the barley fields nearby. Struck dumb I swore; Stood before a mighty woad-duabed army. Believed my wits deceived me 'til I heard their battle-cry." [The Lord Of The Trees:] "Smash the axe and sow the seed; Don't cause the Oaken Heart to bleed!" [The Farm Hands Ghost:] "When he that led this heathen horde cast-off his ivy mantle; Cohorts raised honed halberds flying pennants of leaf-green. From below approached the foe; A fierce scythe-bearing hantle. Captains sat triumphant upon coughing, steel machines." [The Forces Of Progress:] "Break the bough and strip all of it. Fell this forest, make a profit!" (Refrain) [The Farm Hands Ghost:] "Opposing forces clashed beneath a red sky cracked by thunder. Entrenched beneath the hedge-row I'd observed it quite unseen. One side stood to save the wood: T'other planned it's plunder, I chose to fight for Nature's right; Grabbed a fallen skean. All who would one flower destroy, must first cut down this Didycoy! (Refrain) We fought until the last that day to gain a hard-won victory, Sucked in by the thirsty earth I ...

Mr. J Medeiros - Her Wings
Mr. J Medeiros (of The Procussions) - Her Wings (from his album: Of Gods and Girls) She walk like she got headphones, rockin Aretha Lady of light, the type that you like to speak to Hard to reach, sort of speaks like a drink of water Far from a leaf though it's hard being the king's daughter Not really into order but her expectations call for a man to be strong Plus patience, see, you can admire the flower But understand, you dealing with a woman and a higher power And my father in Heaven musta gave her the Earth Cuz the money don't impress her, yo she know what she's worth And she knows rebirth, she can feel it She went through too much hurt to conceal it It's not what she say, it's the way she reveals it And now the world wanna steal it That spirit in which her body's a home to Sorry world, she's outgrown you [chorus] Outta the gates to the wild blue Sky's too great, she gotta escape, fly through With a smile to kinda remind you You gotta look ahead and not behind you She said starin at the sun won't blind you It's just a lie used by the world to confine you But I know a place they won't find you And if you believe, you can fly like I do Absolutely beautiful, the type that make you feel unsuitable She's uncommon, ain't nothing about her usual If you'da known her before the transition You'd be amazed by the change man, listen She used to go from this one to that one To feel complete, she looked for men to make it happen Until she started askin, if all things in this ...

Darwin's Theory of Evolution
Darwin's Theory of Evolution from our friends at www.illustramedia.com - Unlocking the Mystery of Life. Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the widely held notion that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor the birds and the bananas, the fishes and the flowers -- all related. Darwin's general theory presumes the development of life from non-life and stresses a purely naturalistic (undirected) "descent with modification". That is, complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time. In a nutshell, as random genetic mutations occur within an organism's genetic code, the beneficial mutations are preserved because they aid survival -- a process known as "natural selection." These beneficial mutations are passed on to the next generation. Over time, beneficial mutations accumulate and the result is an entirely different organism (not just a variation of the original, but an entirely different creature). While Darwin's Theory of Evolution is a relatively young archetype, the evolutionary worldview itself is as old as antiquity. Ancient Greek philosophers such as Anaximander postulated the development of life from non-life and the evolutionary descent of man from animal. Charles Darwin simply brought something new to the old philosophy -- a plausible mechanism called "natural selection." Natural selection acts to preserve and accumulate minor advantageous genetic mutations. Suppose a member of a species developed a functional advantage ...
