Have you seen? There's been a change in the weather Clouds turning slowly into shades of leather You better stay in bed It's dangerous today The rain could fall upon your head Have you seen? There's been a change in the weather There used to be a thing called the 'ozone layer' The Sun is out today, you better stay away Take your love and spend the day in bed You better stay in bed, you better stay in bed Change in the weather ! Change in the weather, change (repeat) There's been a change in the weather Change in the weather, change (repeat) Have you seen? There's been a change in the weather Clouds turning slowly into shades of leather You better stay in bed It's dangerous today The rain could fall upon your head There's been a change in the weather (Not a change for the better) You better stay in bed, you better stay in bed There's been a change in the weather (Not a change for the better) You better stay in bed, you better stay in bed Change! Change in the weather (repeat)

Time to Come 05:21
Waiting for my time to come Lying naked in the sun Where on Earth am I to run Wondering when my time will come Waiting for my time to come All my senses going numb Knowing there's nowhere to run Wondering if my time will come Waiting for my time to come All my senses going numb Knowing there's nowhere to run Wondering if my time ...

Take your time Hold your line Peace of mind - heals you Lie down for a moment Watch time passing by Live life by the moment Coz' time is on your side Don't necessarily worry 'bout running late Don't necessarily run against the deadlines Don't necessarily try to stay up to date It's necessary - to purify your mind Wind down for a few moments No need to do or die Break out of your torments Bring time to your side It's necessary! Don't necessarily worry 'bout running late Don't necessarily run against the deadlines Don't necessarily try to stay up to date It's necessary - to purify your mind Take your time Hold your line Peace of mind It's necessary! It's necessary! It's necessary! Take your time It's necessary! Hold your line It's necessary! Don't necessarily worry 'bout running late Don't necessarily try to stay up to date Don't necessarily Don't necessarily

Kings and Western presidents Globalizing regiments Staging yet another matinée Mr Dow and lady Jones Cooking soup on broker bones Getting nice and ready for the show Talking heads with microphones Juggle words like rolling stones Never speaking one to one Words of "Great Significance" Getting high on "Evidence" Somersaults' the order of the day Welcome to the Circus of Lies! Sponsored by lions and clowns Welcome to the Circus of Lies! Watch their lips and egotrips Weather whips and treaty quits Taming willing human brains Masters of "The Mockracy" Walking ropes of equity Showing off a balance of their own Kings and Western presidents Globalizing regiments Kings and Western presidents Globalizing regiments Talking heads with microphones Juggle words like rolling stones Never speaking one to one Words of "great significance" Getting high on "evidence" Somersaults' the order of the day Welcome to the Circus of Lies!

"I know what they're like They're not about to get out of here And if we don't stop them before it's too late It will be a curse on us...!"

Waterways 03:28
Flowing down on the waterways All the pride of a wasted land Flowing down on the waterways All the monsters banned from mind Flowing down on the waterways Chemical slime gone down the drain Sailing on the waterways Fishermen still wait in vain Oozing down the waterways All the waste of a prideless land Floating on the waterways The other side of our stainless hands Drowning in the waterways All the faith in the human brain Sailing on the waterways Fishermen still wait in vain Fishermen still wait in vain!

Major Tom 04:59
Several thousands light years ago Major Tom was affected by a vicious cosmic disease that goes by the name of 'Nostalgia'. Sadly, planet Earth is no more on the map No more on the map... *Major Tom, major Tom!* Old Mother Earth I miss you badly *Major Tom, your planet's gone!* I'm spinning round in circles madly now Major Tom to ground control There's no reply at all Major Tom to ground control There's no reply at all *Major Tom, major Tom!* Looking for an island in outer space now *Major Tom, you must get on!* Mercy for the lone survivor of the human race Major Tom to ground control There's no reply at all Major Tom to ground control There's no reply at all *Major Tom, major Tom!* Looking for an island in outer space now Major Tom to ground control There's no reply at all *Major Tom, major Tom!* Mercy for the lone survivor of the human race Major Tom to ground control There's no reply at all *Major Tom, major Tom!* Mercy for the lone survivor of the human race Major Tom to ground control There's no reply at all

Cool as ice In the eye of the storm Emprisoned by sand A man rolls a dice In a gamble with fate While it's almost too late - to escape From winter in Algeria Face to face With the game for survival In the desert's embrace No faith in no bible He's gambling with fate While it's almost too late - to escape From winter in Algeria Losing the faith I had placed in my dice Losing my way the harder I try How could I look into Jesus' eyes Losing the game - it's my turn to die ! Cool as ice In the eye of the storm Emprisoned by sand A man rolls a dice In a gamble with fate While it's almost too late - to escape From winter in Algeria Rolling dice on the sand Wishing they could show me What to do Aiming for directions Any directions As long as I move on

Hiroshima 04:07
Read the news in black print "End of world crisis - employment guaranteed" Final blow to the hippie dream Now everyone does it Just like India and Pakistan Bring the kids, take a seat Place your money Entertainment guaranteed At the Great Atomic Hippodrome Now everyone's ready - from Tokyo to Abidjan *Time to place your bets, Ladies & Gentlemen. now take it easy down there, everyone gets a chance to play* Hiroshima, mon amour - here we go again! Hiroshima, mon amour - here we go again! Hiroshima, mon amour Glory days for The Mocracy Two hundred nations With equal rights of agony Lift the ban on the arms race Claiming: "No one wants a racist society" At the Great Atomic Hippodrome Everyone's ready Hiroshima, mon amour. here we go again Hiroshima Hiroshima, mon amour. Hiroshima Hiroshima, mon amour. here we go again

Diving Low 03:41
Skies stained with spears of silver The sound of the fall of a feather Thousands of swallows diving low I can hear the thunder now I can see by the way that you shiver You know this rain won’t make grass grow A love grown on bouts of fever The grounds for a fall out of measure Thousands of reasons for all to blow But reasons are treasons I know that you know what you do I have my own reasons for leaving decisions to you Now won’t you hold me, feel me, touch me Don’t leave me now Skies stained with spears of silver The sound of the fall of a feather Thousands of swallows diving low Diving low You might have your reasons But I don’t need no one from you I have my own reasons for living and giving to you All of my love Skies stained with spears of silver Thousands of swallows diving low

Wonderland 05:04
Do you believe in Alice in Wonderland? Make a wish and you’ll see anything come true Well, you’ve been stepping into “Wonderland” A place where money will do everything for you Lalalalaaa ! So whether you’re yellow, black or white You can become whatever you like Shelve the boundaries of your dreams Now at last you’re “CIVILIZED”! So civilized – so civilized! Now that you’ve made your home in “Wonderland” You can have a really fancy car You can marry a very sexy wife You might turn into a movie star As long as you become… “civilized” So civilized I see you’re doing well in “Wonderland” Looks like nature has been pretty good to you A sense for nonsense – none for decency Makes you measure-made for this society Lalalalaaa ! So whether you’re vicious, dumb or bright You will become whatever you like Shelve the meaning of your pride Now at least you’re civilized So civilized – so civilized ! Now that you’ve made your home in “Wonderland” You can have a really fancy car You can marry a very sexy wife You might turn into a movie star As long as you become… “civilized” I wish you well, my friend You’ve come a long way Hey, do you believe in Alice in Wonderland (chorus): make a wish and you’ll see anything come true You’ve been stepping into “Wonderland” A place where money will do everything for you So whether you’re yellow, black or white You can become whatever you like Shelve the boundaries of your dreams Now at last - you’re - “CIVILIZED”!

about

"Dance on Evidence" is the name of a loose, 'collective' musical project I pursued around the year 2000 or so. At the time I was enamored with so-called "ethno music" - as I travelled to Africa and the Far East in those years. At least a dozen different musicians who came by my studio - often to record their own musical projects - participated in the making of this album. For some reason, I have never got down (for the last 18 years!) to publish this labor of love. This is hoping you will enjoy this multi-faceted album which brings together a great many beats, moods and atmospheres from around the world. Happy voyage!

Simon Shack

Note: this album was published for the first time today, April 19, 2018 - yet I probably should have published it back in June 2000 - as stated in the below release date...
