Funny Ideas

'Funny Ideas' 30.5MB 2:09 min

We're marching forward
Smiles on our faces
Wind blowing in our hair
Going ever onwards
We're going places
& we are getting there
Everything is sorted out
No need to worry

Chorus:

Too many
You have too many
You have too many ideas
Funny ideas
& we don't like that here!

Let's say that you are right
That means that we are wrong
And if we're wrong once
We could be wrong again
Now this will never do
People might begin to talk
They might lose confidence
In those who lead them

Chorus

We have a leader
Wise good and generous
Sitting in the driving seat
On the train of history
He's looking out for us
& for our country
& if he seems hard
It's for our own good

Chorus

Written for The Wisdom That is False, Harlow TheatreVan, 1986.

Two more that are close kin to this.
I believe I could film this place forever.

Stort

'Stort' 77.5MB 2:38 min

Last Saturday I left my mobile on the London-Cambridge train.
Sunday night a nice man from the Bishop's Stortford ticket office
rang to say someone equally nice had handed it in.
So, Monday, I took the train from Harlow to Stortford, picked up my
phone, did a bit of shopping & decided to walk at least some of the
way back along the river.
It is rather a big file, but do take a look...

An Enemy of the People

'An Enemy of the People' 20.7MB 6:48 min

I made this before anything else here, as a Shockwave piece, in
2002. It features the voice of my late father Łukasz Szpakowski,
& is, amongst other things, an account of his arrest by Stalin's
secret police, the NKVD & his subsequent deportation to a forced
labour camp in Siberia.
It is dedicated to him, with love & gratitude.
