Story Behind The Song

A long time ago, in a Terry Pratchet novel, there was an old Chinese curse - 'may you live in interesting times'- it seemed a wonderful concept. Of course, we always live in interesting times but, now, they could be a-changing

Song Description

So much is being questioned about these times we're living in and the public is becoming ever more vocal about it's mistrust of the status quo. No solutions, not even any questions. Live performance.

Interesting Times
© bo callaby 2012




We're living in Interesting Times
No need to ask for whom the bell chimes
It's there for all who care to read the signs
We're living in Interesting Times

The pendulum swings slowly to and fro
As we try to maintain the status quo
But for all that we arrange, the impetus for change
Is coming from behind and below

Changes are coming one by one
Some by the word, others by the gun
The idea of freedom's spreading wide, an unstoppable tide
A world wide web that's being spun


There will be winners and losers, choosers and abusers
There'll be those who will try to stop the flow
There'll be candyfloss and pathos, Eros and chaos
Where we're all headed, heaven only knows
