The Bley-Peacock Synthesizer Show (Revenge: The Bigger the Love The Greater The Hate) was first released in 1971 and later reissued in 2014 through Ironic Records (Annette Peacock's self-owned label) under the new title I belong to a world that's destroying itself. aka Revenge. This reissue features two extra tracks: Flashbacks and Anytime With You. The lyrics for the latter can be found here, though I’m unsure of their accuracy. Flashbacks employs a cut-up technique, and in one of the fragments, you can hear someone asking, "You got a pocket without a hole?" with Annette replying, "I got a hole without a pocket."

A LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS
I'm looking for something
someone who want to see and can.
Nothing's alive anymore.
Except the Universal plan.
And I can see ahead my eyes are infinite.
I'm speaking with the dead, but nothing's definite.
And so as man pursues his great adventure it's odd that he isn't aware.
And it seems strange he doesn't even venture to question his mutilating change.
The world that they gave us
I hope there's time enough to save.
Buddah and Jesus come back
have multiplied in every face.
I see the fragile spirit of what used to be.
The young are dying trying to release us free.
And my heart aches to think of all the pain that we suffer man as race.
Because he's trapped himself in a competitive, eternal, destructive chase.

THE CYNIC
We're all sandwiches
The meat between life and death
rotting away on our bones, Like some dead animal
we lie like the rhinoceros
Beating our Heads on the ground.
and stuck-in-the mud, And waiting to die.
to be devoured by the laws of the universe
And excreted By infinity
so . . . you . . . see . . .
That what-e-ver you do
Your Just Amusing Yourself
Your . . . Just . . . Amsuing . . . Yourself

I BELONG TO A WORLD THAT'S DESTROYING ITSELF
I can't see how you sit and talk about what's right or wrong.
It's very small when you re-member wrong is just a point in time.
Please stop this arguing among yourselves!
Each day that passes by is one more day that we've abused.
Ungratefully, we receive what surrenders itself to be used,
and it's too bad that we don't understand.
Give it up and return to the source
This time there isn't any recourse
Give it up and return to the source
This time there isn't any recourse, but to live like animals, natural and free.
And to be like people should when they live naturally
and Surrender Yourself To The Judgment Of None.
yes Surrender Yourself To The Judgment Of None.
and Surrender Yourself To The Judgment Of None.
Don't tell me that you see nothing wrong.
Let me scare you we don't have that long.
Don't tell me that you see nothing wrong.
Let me scare you we don't have that long to convince you one by one
that you should care.
In the cities there's no sun, and not too much air.
I Belong To A World That's Destroying Itself.
I Belong To A World That's Destroying Itself.
I Belong To A World That's Destroying Itself.
itself, itself, itself, itself . . . . . . .

CLIMBING ASPIRATIONS
And the darkness keeps circling around ••••••••••

I'M THE ONE
I'm the one.
I'm the one.
You don't have to look any further.
I'm the one.
I'm here, right here for you.
One. One. One. One.
Getting
& giving -
I'm the one.
I looked all over.
Put my head on somebody's shoulder
& there is
no one else.
Can't you see it my eyes?
Can't you hear it in my voice?
Can't you feel it in my skin,
when you're buried
deep within me?
I'm the one
for you.

MR. JOY
Before you know
the happiness you feel
Will come and go
You'll wonder
if it's real
How can you know for sure
Anything at all
it's a dream this life
and nothing's really pure.
(a dream, this life
and nothing's really pure
a dream
and nothing's really sure)
The space that I am using still belongs
to everyone and everything's my song
Embrace me cause we're here
That's what love's about
and trusting
Understanding without doubt.
Believe that we
can be ourselves again,
(And God is who we really are)

DREAMS
Dreams come and go with the tides of your soul
and Time has the speeds of your drems
I keep li-ving far-a-way — in dreams
Slaves in the sense that — our master is Time
who lashes the Space to the Rhyme
if Time wer ent rigid
we Could all Be freee •••••••••••••••
