Jekyll - duality of human nature and the creative process
lyrics
JEKYLL
Creeping shadows fill the corners of my mind,
Dark desire finds expression every night,
A skeleton lurks in every cupboard you must hide,
Dark supression, no confession, live a lie,
Jekyll stop me turning into Mr Hyde.
Pandora's box is open, I hear the siren's cry,
Drowning in sweet surrender, my lust to satisfy,
Breathe life into the shadow, rising up I feel it's power,
Drunk on pleasure, drunk on pain, now is the hour.
The shadow now controls me, there is no escape no turning back
Now there is light, now there is dark, forbidden fruits for Jekyll and for Hyde.
Do I have the urge to kill? Do I try and fight desire?
Do I close my eyes to what I see?
Can't we end this charade? Can't we end this masquerade?
Playing games denying all taboo.
Get a fix from page 3, washing brains with television,
Will Pavlov's dog take you a walk?
Here in the realms of existence, threatened with stark mediocrity,
Let me drink my joy as well as pain.
Daughter of Elysium, illuminate my darkness,
Shed your light, reveal the glory of ideas,
Find it in expression, find it in the joy you feel
As the lifeforce channels down your spine.

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before?
This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship.
Essential. Crinklechips
