The brain of britain sits in the tower of london
Protected by the ravens
The prime-minister and the cabinet queue up to consult it
On urgent matters of state
And it sits suspended in fluid
Attached to ten electrodes
Its a scene straight out of star wars or star trek
The brain of britain masterminds the nation
From this curious vantage point
Its an oracle, its a magic eight-ball
That can give out just three answers
(and here they are....)
Its the best kept secret of all
The politicians are pawns to the power
Of a prime piece of meat called
The brain of britain
The brain of britain was born into this limbo
It knows no other existence
Its consciousness floats like an island
Communicating only by pulse
The queen swears allegiance to the brain
But the future king wants to kick it
Through the streets of london like a football
And that means trouble
The brain of britain has no wizard of oz
Pulling the protein strings
Science cant explain the superbrain away
And thats the terrifying thing
Cos the brain cant see the world
It cant see the big picture
Just a colour-by-numbers before the next election
John Wesley Harding is the stage name of Robert Allen Zimmerman, better known as Bob Dylan. The album "John Wesley Harding", released in 1967, marks a turning point in his musical career. After the explosion of folk rock and the social protests of the 1960s, Dylan moves away from more electric and engaged sounds to embrace a more introspective and minimalist country-folk style. The album features songs like "All Along the Watchtower", "The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest" and "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine", which reflect a more personal and poetic approach, with lyrics often dark and enigmatic. The influence of country music is evident in simple arrangements and catchy melodies. John Wesley Harding represents a transitional phase for Dylan, marking the beginning of a musical journey that will lead him to explore new genres and sounds.
