ANGLIA TO BRIGHTON

ANGLIA TO BRIGHTON IN 2 & ½
Song by Nicholas Mortimore

I'll send you to the castle of the Anglia
There and only there will you find
There and only there are you to hope.

I'll bring you grapes on the pier at Brighton
There and only there will you see
There and only there will you have vision.

In vision and hope there is God's speed
The eternity of vision
And everlasting hope.

In possession of these technologies of the mind
To be with mind, hope, vision,
To think, to hope; to create.

The eye of the creator rests on these possessions
He is choked full of these technologies
In his eyes in his feet - these beacons.

The creator who creates all unto himself
Will hope for, and see into - ...
At the castle of the Anglia, the grapes of the pier.

Hence I will send you there to build
And to dream, for 'in that sleep of death
What dreams may come' - must give us pause.

I need more time. That's all I want. Nothing else but time. [If] I had more time. [Then] I would be able to accomplish my task. [If] that's what the task requires. [Then] that's what I need. Time. I don't ask for anything else. It is the only request to fulfill. [As long as] It is done so on time. What else should I need. What else should I ask for. I need more time. [If not enough] is granted to me. How can the task be accomplished? [And] all i want is to be up to my task. To do it on time. Am I asking too much? That's the only demand. That's all I call for. Time to accomplish my task. [Because] my task requires more time. Not I. I drop all the rest That's all I need. I need more time.


I care about details. Details are really important. I take great care of details. You might think they are just tiny, little, meanningless fly shit. [But] details make the difference. I know. I know it well. [Always] search for the fine points. That's where the difference is made. A big deal of it. [That's why] I care about details. I look after them. I take care of them. I choose them carefully. Like a loving father. They are very important to me. [Actually] that is all I care. A fine line between right or wrong. Can depend on a single of them. [Even what] you cannot see. I care about details.


I know where I am going. I know it. I make my own rules. I decide what is right and what is wrong. I decide where to go. [Therefore] I know where I go. I want to go there. [And] I go there. I say: "This is right, this is wrong". I say so. [That's why] I know where I am going. It might seem like I don't know better. [But] I know it very very well. I'm of the kind that make his own rules. I decide where and when to go. [And] that's why i always know. [Even when] I don't know. I arrive somewhere and say: "[Well...] that's where i wanted to go". [And so] I am always at the right place at the right moment. [Sometimes] someone may think it is not so. [Well...] they are wrong. they don't know. they have no idea. I choose. I know where I am going.


I am happy. Why shouldn't I be happy? It's gonna happen [sooner or later] When it happens. I will be the first to see it. Being the first. Makes you really happy. [Even now] I'm already happy. [So] When I will see it first. [Ooh] I will be so happy. Can you imagine? To be the first! [Yes] I am happy. It's true. I really am. I've got something to do. To have something to do makes you happy. It will make me happy. It will happen. It happened once. How could I not be happy? Everybody would be happy. [Sure unless] you don't want to be happy. [But] who doesn't want to be happy? I want. I am happy!
