further to that conversation last night here's lyrics from a song that actually made me think about what i accepted as normal and never questioned, never thought of linking together. that i loved animals and wouldn't hurt them yet i was passively taking part in mass destruction of life.

conflict - meat means murder
The factory's still churning out,
all processed,
packed and neat
An obscure butchered substance and the label reads "meat"
Hidden behind false names such as pork,
ham,
veal and beef
An eye's an eye,
a life's a life,
the now forgotten belief
Yet,
everyday production lines are feeding out this farce
To end up on your table,
then shat out of your arse

Yet,
still you're queuing,
and still you're viewing
Sawing out limbs just right for stewing
Carcasses piled up in a heap
Sort,
soft,
juicy chunks from freezers deep
Well,
can't you see that that juice is blood?

From newborn throats,
red rivers flood
Blood from young hearts
blood from the vein
Your blood,
their blood,
serves the same

Now you're at the table,
sitting,
grinning
Sitting there eating,
you never realise the filling
It's served upon a sterile plate,
you don't think of the killing
The furthest your brain takes you,
"is it for frying or grilling?"
You moan about the seal cull,
about the whale slaughter
But does it really matter whether it lives on land or water?

You've never had a fur coat,
you think its cruel to the mink
Well,
how about the cow,
pig or sheep.
Don't they make you think
Since the day that you were you born,
you've never been told the missing link?

and it's an amazing song musically to boot.

meat-free songs rule!!
Here's ours
Thanks For All The Torture & That.
I stand against the bloodshed/the torture & punishment/against the powers/that pay for imprisonment/there’s blood on your catwalk/death sponsored your smiles tonight/I’d exchange the lens for a gun-site/a bullet in exchange for the lives/you stole in self gratification/their bloods on your hands/I’ll fight for your freedom/I stand against death/won’t pay for the slaughter/of the innocent/I dream of the day when the innocent can walk free from slaughter houses and test facilities/I won’t buy into it/I won’t buy the lies/the supposed gentle slaughter from your bolts and your knives/I can’t condone any industry that herds souls as a product/Turns life into meat.

Aye belter night, gid chat, gid bands. First time I've seen or heard Ben Cozine, liked it. Fightback, topform. A.S very good indeed.

As for 'baws'd over' speak to Robbie.
