lyrics

Down in the depths of your soul
There's a thought and you know that it's gold
It's the idea of an age
Now to take it from neurons to the stage
Rollerskates on the stairs
Disdain from millionaires
But you really don't care, you plough on
And you run and you run
Fighting advice from everyone
Because you've found it

And the big idea
Will be engineered
For the pioneers
By the volunteers
And the big idea
Will rock and change the world
Change the world
And the big idea
Will be engineered
For the pioneers
By the volunteers
And the big idea
Will rock and change the world
Change the world
I think you know it will

Once you'd get untold support
Raised on shoulders and roundly endorsed
Oh you made friendships for life
Or it might be the pound signs in their eyes
But then plaudits come in
And the phone starts to ring
It's those colleagues who thought you were dead
They say cease and desist
And they tell you you've been dismissed
They've monetized it

And the big idea
Will be commandeered
By the financiers
For the racketeers
And the big idea
Will stock exchange the world
Change the world
And the big idea
Will be commandeered
By the financiers
For the racketeers
And the big idea
Will stock exchange the world
I think you knew it would

It's not just that everybody wants something from you
That's a basic part of humanity
Everybody loves you when they don't understand what you're doing
Then you're expendable

But it don't need you
And it don't need me
Cos the big idea
It's roaming free
And it's gonna live
Long after copyright expires
When you can't contain
That burning flame
The big idea
Will rise again
And the big idea
Will rock and change the world

Spray Lancashire, UK

Ric and Jen were members of 21st century pop terrorists The Cuban Boys, who topped John Peel's Festive 50 and the UK singles charts.

Their offshoot project Spray predicted the electropop boom, unfortunately much too early for them to cash in. They released two albums in 2002 and 2006.

In 2016 they released their first full length studio album in 10 years - 'Enforced Fun'. ... more
