Psi Power - Dedicated to Anthony Grzelka

EoR is having an ongoing discussion with a Mr Grzelka groupie. The gist of the argument seems to be
All of Anthony's services are very reasonably priced given his excellant reputation around the country, and i believe it is clear to all those that have he has given validation to that he is a geniune and ethical person.

But then, how many conmen deny being "genuine" and "ethical"?

Back in his hippy days EoR was a Hawkwind fan (though for real trippiness he always turned to Gong and their Radio Gnome Invisible trilogy - whatever happened to Shakti Yoni?). Their heyday, however, was in the early eighties when the late lamented Robert Calvert was writing their lyrics and provided some direction to the group. He also published poetry in New Worlds, released a couple of solo albums (Lucky Leif and the Longships and Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters) and cowrote "I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper" for Sarah Brightman and Hot Gossip (does anyone else remember Kenny Everett and the Hot Gossipy Naughty Bits?). Here's Psi Power (released by the Hawklords due to a shortlived contractual dispute during one of the group's frequent changes of personnel about who owned the name):
When I was a kid in school
They showed me symbols on a card
Then they sent them from a locked and bolted room
I had to fake that it was hard
Circle Waves Triangle Square
I got them crystal clear by the hour
And all I said was may I please take a rest
I didn't want them to know I was possessed

With Psi Power
Psi Power (Psi Power)
Psi Power (Psi Power)
Psi Power (Psi Power)
I can read your mind like a magazine
I see where you're at I know what you mean
I get all the secrets that you'd rather keep

When I was a teenage kid and I hung around the street
I could see inside the mind of any girl that I wanted to meet
Waves Triangle Circle Square
They opened to me like a flower
How would you like to have your mind caressed
Can't you feel that I'm possessed

With Psi Power
Psi Power (Psi Power)
Psi Power (Psi Power)
Psi Power (Psi Power)
I can read your mind like a magazine
I see where you're at I know what you mean
I get all the secrets that you'd rather keep

It's like a radio that you can't switch off
There's no way to get peace of mind
I'd like to live inside a leadlined room
And leave all this psi power behind
Circle Square Triangle Waves
It's a gift that soon turns sour
Why don't they let me get some rest
It's too much to understand to digest

Psi Power
Psi Power (Psi Power)
Psi Power (Psi Power)
Psi Power (Psi Power)
I can read your mind like a magazine
I see where you're at I know what you mean
I get all the secrets that you'd rather keep

Of course, we all know this is fantasy. Reality is much more like this:
It's like I'm getting a male
Do you have someone on your mother's side
Who's passed on beyond this vale
A sudden sort of death or suicide?

Psi Power
Psi Power (Psi Power)
Psi Power (Psi Power)
Psi Power (Psi Power)
I can sort of see this blurry scene
Are you going in for a minor operation?
I get all the money that you'd rather keep.

Tell me now, who could be M?
Have you lost a child or had a termination?
Tell me more so that I can claim
All this as a psychic communication.

Psi Power
Psi Power (Psi Power)
Psi Power (Psi Power)
Psi Power (Psi Power)
I can sort of see this blurry scene
Are you going in for a minor operation?
I get all the money that you'd rather keep.
