Love and Cake : The sort of ‘calamity’ we seem to be heading for places de-
mands on all of us as we look ahead. Big shout out to Mairi Campbell for add-
ing voice.

Lyrics

Love and Cake
In a state of emergency/I let the urgency/Live at the foot of the bed
Up the morning/I’m smiling and charming/With love and cake in my head
Our sisters and brothers/Our fathers and mothers /Ancestors of this land/
Built with blood on both hands/Built with blood on both hands
I need no reminding of what lies behind me/On the path we humans have tread
We’ve raised our own towers/Forged new powers/With heaven and hell in our heads
Whilst under the covers those whispering lovers/Breeding society
Burying bones in the sand flies right in our eyes/The world that we hoped for
No more than a makeshift disguise/No more than a makeshift disguise
It’s a modern democracy /live with hypocrisy/Sleep well away from the dread
Smile at the camera /we would rather have/Ice on our cake instead
So don’t let the stranger crank up the danger/Padlock the ovens/ grab hold of our covers
And rip them right off of the bed/Rip them right off of the bed
Love and cake/Love and cake/Love and cake/Love and cake
Hello /hello/I made it this far/I made it this far/What happens next?/Padlock the ovens
