In, out, in out, breathe
Breathe – A mystic funk sensation
And just believe – don’t need no deep explanation
Will change your mood - release your soul super-tension
Suck in lung food. Be bigger, badder, bolder, braver, better
Loose your mind and come to your senses
‘Aint it ‘bout time you lowered your defences
Life is so hard, wid choo
Time is spinning faster. Whatcha gonna do?
If you don’t got the Mooosefunk consult Professor Funklove
A sage dispensing mystic expertise
Allopathic is tragic, what you need is funky magic
Of the Mooose kind, yeah yeah.
Inhale - like you should
Exhale - feels good
Attention extension
The force of life creation on the inside
Get real
We’re gonna do it
You gotta do
Just do it do it do it
‘Cause we’re here and we’re there
We’re Big Bad Mooose, we’re everywhere
Now Breathe
[In out in out]
Fear, Food, Sex, Fight
The improvements are astounding when you’re breathing right
This ‘aint no hippy sermon and one thing you can be certain
‘Fessor Funklove’s chowin’ vegan and has lost no might
Make some chill time, say ‘Omm’
Ignore the happy clappy, feel the Mooosefunk bomb
Dig the funky hint, a little clue to solve the quiz
Help them feel the funk girls. Tell it like it is

Professor Funklove is my man
His purple-ishousness so grand
Our sexy boodies understand
Don’t matter what dead heads say, you gotta go all the way

The truth is always what you feel
Major freedom is the deal
Escape from all of this mess. Don’t settle for anything less

Conspiracy

Listen up! Information for action.
If you’re not pissed off you’re not paying attention.
Don’t trust politics - power hungry lunatics.
Watch out! They’re running the asylum.
Have another war to keep the arms race running.
Create another crash to keep the sympathy coming.
Terrorism everywhere, the book says fight!
Step by step by sleight of hand erode our human rights.
Mini Pax, Mini Luv, Mini True, Mini Hate.
Nineteen eighty four predicts a world police state.
Biggy Big Brother’s breedin’ state lovers,
Brainwashing people to hate.
Conspiracy, huh, comin’ at yer.
Conspiracy, Take control before you loose your soul.
Conspiracy, huh, gonna get yer.
Conspiracy
News media – spreading lies.
TV shows made to hypnotize.
Filling minds with garbage so we don’t ask questions,
Sending our attention in all directions.
Walking down the street – do you know who’s watching?
Talking on the phone – do you know who’s listening?
ID cards to barcodes, censorship to hell knows,
Freedom on the World Wide Web? Ha!
All this stuff is for our own protection
Preying on our fears that are a state creation.
Paranoid? Oh do you think so?
Perhaps you should look for yourself.
Chorus [watcha gonna do if it all proves true]
CIA - Criminals In Action
Insidious Mother Fuckers or the IMF
Mooose says Hey! Don’t be driven to distraction
‘cause capitalistic greed will bleed the world to death.
Corruption feeds on privatisations.
The WTO sucks the life from budding nations
From Big Mac to Bin Laden there’s a hidden agenda,
Money Money Money is of course near the centre.
By simply doing nothing we concede to this insanity
With Governmental thugs committing crimes against humanity.
They claim to make this wicked world a safer place for you and me -
Seizing civil liberties for national security!
Saddam Hussain and Hitler to name just two
Set up and funded by…hmmm…guess who?
So be careful who you trust because you know what, here’s the clinch -
The real enemy is closer than you think
Chorus [Free your mind and your ass will follow]
Freedom to live, freedom to die
Freedom to laugh, freedom to cry
Where is the love?
Double plus bad

Good Times, Bad Times
05:46

“Let us explore the dark side”
Too many people watching other people having such a good time
Too few people on the inside having a ball
Exist like drones that insist on stopping at a red light
Instead of making it and living it and giving it and getting it all
Don’t turn away
I’ve something to say
Follow the way
Have a little faith and put your trust in synchronicity
Don’t lose your dream
No matter how distant it may seem
Trust and believe
Good luck, Bad luck; there are always
Good times
You know that life is pretty
Bad times
You gotta ride the roller coaster with
High times
Be without self-pity
Low times
Just getting you down
Bright times
It ‘aint cliché city
Dark times
Be alive to possibilities
Good times
Strive to be happy
Yeah
Watcha do watcha say
You gotta go all the way
Too many people crying and dying over money
Too few reasons to resist ending it all [No-oh]
So many tears, so many fears ‘outa worry
I’m well aware ‘cause I’ve been there but I know that fortune’s always changing

I wasn’t ready for romance to slide in on me
And you were too busy to contemplate me
Our lives were full but one look in you eyes
Ignited a passion inside
So we went strolling, extolling on life’s mysteries
Talked on the beach till a quarter past three
We shared a knowing we could not ignore
I knew that I’ve loved you before
We got married in the rain [married in the rain]
We got married in the rain [married in the rain]
We got married in the rain [married in the rain]
Now we’re together, forever in matrimony
Declaring we’re sharing for eternity
Whatever the weather, contented at last
Entrusting our lives with our hearts
Chorus
We’ll be together forever and ever and ever and ever
Just two people so much in love
Pour if it wants to, we don’t mind if we’re soaked through
We’re still one on one just the same.

Change
06:40

In this world of fear power reaps the lives of men
The system runs on tears of people justice will not defend
Grey men deny us our rights to live free of pain
Grey men deceive us. We don’t see our need for change
They’ll hush it up - a cover up
So no one finds out about it
Change
Make a change
They’re dangerous, not afraid of us
We’ve gotta shout loud to make a change
Make a change
In this world of greed; the curse of God and man
Religion is a screen behind slaves of avarice stand
Grey men will cheat us. Our lives will pay for their gain
Grey men deceive us. We don’t see our need for change
Chorus
Solo
"Are international relations at the close of the twentieth century to be dominated by euphemisms and lies that overrides justice and makes small nations expendable? The fate of the people of East Timor is pivotal to this. For if we allow our governments to arm their oppressors and steal their resources and to do so in our name, how can we then claim the universal rights that are denied them?" John Pilger
In this secret world planet earth will not survive
Under men and machines and natural world of beauty dies
Grey men ignore us. Their progress leads to our graves
Grey men deceive us. We don’t see our need for change
Chorus
If you look a little closer you can see them fighting wars
Over money land or power or insane religious laws
They will never be the victims, just the lowly and the poor
When they run out of guns to kill and main our governments sell them more
If you look a little closer you can see the pain
Industrial pollution and a sea of acid rain
They don’t care about the ozone or pollution that we breathe
The finger to the environment and the reason why is greed
If you look a little closer you can see children die
Starvation’s on the increase while we pile our surplus high
They’ll only help if they can get back something in return
Repay your loans or by some guns or watch your people burn
They can blame it on the black man, they can blame it on the Jew
They can blame asylum seekers cause that seems the thing to do
They will find another scapegoat ‘cause they won’t accept the blame
It’s time to take a closer look. It’s time to make a change

Get up and get down and do the Mooosefunk
Get up and get down and get it on
We’re gonna funk the Mooose, we’re gonna Mooosefunk
Get up and get down and get it on
I was sitting at home listening to some P-Funk, you know, George Clinton, Fred Wesley and the crew – Fred’s a friend of mine. A guy called me on the phone and said,
“Hey man, what’s the name of your band?”and I said “Mooose”
He said “What?”
“Mooose”
“Huh?”
“Yup”
“Mooose?”
“Yeah”
He said “Cool!”
Mooose – Funking the Mooose
Yeah – shaking it loose
So this guy says “hey man, explain”
I said, “Well one of the things this band is trying to convey is a sense of a Musical Overload of Orgasmic Sexual Energy. You know Mooose”.
“Not that shit you put in your hair”
“No. That’s with a ‘U’ and two ‘S’s
“Oh yeah”
“We can also be considered as a big furry animal with funky horns”
He said, “Cool”.
CHORUS
[The Mooosefunk]
So let me explain what we mean by the Mooosefunk, after all that is the title of this song.
[The Mooosefunk]is my term to describe when two funky people synchronise their moves, minds and bodies and get it on.
[The Mooosefunk]
Yeah, you know what I mean
[The Mooosefunk]
In the sixties the hippies said “Make love not war” and hey man I agree.
[The Mooosefunk]
If people spent their time funkin’ and not fighting this world world would be a groovier place to be.
[The Mooosefunk]
And my man says, “that’s cool!”
Mooose – Do you know the Mooosefunk – Aah-hah
Mooose – C’mon and do the Mooosefunk – Yeah – eah
A tingle in your toes, up your shinbone it goes
You know you got it when you’re weak at the knees
A wiggle in your walk and a giggle in your talk
And your mind says “Oh yes please”
Up your thighs it will rise. It ‘aint no big surprise
That the place it resides is your hips
It will kick up a storm in that place wet and warm
And energise your naughty bits
Mooose – Get it on, feeling strong, move your body
Mooose – All the way, don’t delay, gotta mean it
Mooose – On the floor, want some more, get it funky
Mooose – In the groove, watch it move, can you feel it?
