AN APOLOGY

The representatives of Nick Bell would like to make it clear that Mr Bell would like no association with the Country Joe and The Fish track that appears on his Rocket Science selection. The wrong track was associated with the wrong title..Mr Bell was unavailable for a full statement except to say "wrong County Joe song i hate that one" and "Wor Geordies lost his penkers (marbles to the non fluent Tynesiders) if he thought track 6 was my choice" The correct track will appear on RS #5:05

Theme Time Rocket Science #3

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green
And was the holy lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen

And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills

Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spears o'clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire
I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
