John Pebble of Styx Enterprises

"Get 'em out by Friday!
You don't get paid till the last one's well on his way.
Get 'em out by Friday!
It's important that we keep to schedule, there must be no delay."


Mark Hall of Styx Enterprises (otherwise known as "The Winkler")

"I represent a firm of gentlemen who recently purchased this
house and all the others in the road,
In the interest of humanity we've found a better place for you
to go, go-woh, go-woh"


Mrs. Barrow (a tenant)

"Oh no, this I can't believe,
Oh Mary, they're asking us to leave."


Mr. Pebble

"Get 'em out by Friday!
I've told you before, 's good many gone if we let them stay.
And if it isn't easy,
You can squeeze a little grease and our troubles will soon run away."


Mrs. Barrow

"After all this time, they ask us to leave,
And I told them we could pay double the rent.
I don't know why it seemed so funny,
Seeing as how they'd take more money.
The winkler called again, he came here this morning,
With four hundred pounds and a photograph of the place he has found.
A block of flats with central heating.
I think we're going to find it hard."


Mr. Pebble

"Now we've got them!
I've always said that cash cash cash can do anything well.
Work can be rewarding
When a flash of intuition is a gift that helps you
excel-sell-sell-sell."


Mr. Hall

"Here we are in Harlow New Town, did you recognise your block
across the square, over there,
Sadly since last time we spoke, we've found we've had to raise
the rent again,
just a bit."


Mrs. Barrow

"Oh no, this I can't believe
Oh Mary, and we agreed to leave."


(a passage of time)

This is an announcement from Genetic Control:
"It is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on
humanoid height."


Extract from coversation of Joe Ordinary in Local Puborama

"I hear the directors of Genetic Control have been buying all the
properties that have recently been sold, taking risks oh so bold.
It's said now that people will be shorter in height,
they can fit twice as many in the same building site.
(they say it's alright),
Beginning with the tenants of the town of Harlow,
in the interest of humanity, they've been told they must go,
told they must go-go-go-go."


Sir John De Pebble of United Blacksprings International

"I think I've fixed a new deal
A dozen properties - we'll buy at five and sell at thirty four,
Some are still inhabited,
It's time to send the winkler to see them,
he'll have to work some more."


Memo from Satin Peter of Rock Development Ltd.

With land in your hand, you'll be happy on earth
Then invest in the Church for your heaven.

When all this revolution is over, he sits down on a highly polished floor while his
dizziness fades away. It is an empty modern hallway and the dreamdoll saleslady
sits at the reception desk. Without prompting she goes into her rap: "This is the
Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging, those you are about to see are all in for
servicing, except for a small quantity of our new product, in the second gallery.
It is all the stock required to cover the existing arrangements of the enterprise.
Different batches are distributed to area operators, and there are plenty of
opportunities for the large investor. They stretch from the costly care-conditioned
to the most reasonable mal-nutritioned. We find here that everyone's looks become
them. Except for the low market mal-nutritioned, each is provided with a guarantee
for a successful birth and trouble free infancy. There is however only a small
amount of variable choice potential - not too far from the mean differential.
You see, the roof has predetermined the limits of action of any group of packages,
but individuals may move off the path if their diversions are counter-balanced by
others."


"It's the last great adventure left to mankind"
- Screams a drooping lady
offering her dreamdolls at less than extortionate prices,
and as the notes and coins are taken out
I'm taken in, to the factory floor.

for the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
- All ready to use
the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
- I just need a fuse.

Got people stocked in every shade,
Must be doing well with trade.
Stamped, addressed, in odd fatality.
That evens out their personality.
With profit potential marked by a sign,
I can recognise some of the production line,
No bite at all in labour bondage,
Just wrinkled wrappers or human bandage.

As he wanders along the line of packages, Rael notices a familiarity in some of
their faces. He finally comes upon some of the members of his old gang and worries
about his own safety. Running out through the factory floor, he catches sight of
his brother John with a number 9 stamped on his forehead.


The hall runs like clockwork
Their hands mark out the time;
Empty in their fullness
Like a frozen pantomime.
Everyone's a sales representative
Wearing slogans in their shrine.
Dishing out failsafe superlative,
Brother John is No. 9.

- All ready to use

- I just need a fuse.

The decor on the ceiling
has planned out their future day
I see no sign of free will,
so I guess I have to pay,
pay my way,
for the Grand Parade...
it's the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
- All ready to use
it's the Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging
- I just need a fuse.

I am the one who guided you this far,
All you know and all you feel.
Nobody must know my name
For nobody would understand,
And you kill what you fear.

I call you for I must leave,
You're on your own until the end.
There was a choice but now it's gone,
I said you wouldn't understand,
Take what's yours and be damned.
