The text of “Jump Time”:
“We are at that incredible place
in consciousness history, Jump Time. We’re living in a time in which we
are on the verge of having a mix’n’match, a sharing of the riches of the
genius of what is valued and developed in other cultures. That is why we
run; that is why we try to exceed ourselves; that is why we yearn, pray,
keep on searching, searching, searching - the great hunger that consumes
us. We are in Jump Time.
We must assume our existence as broadly as
we in any way can. Everything, even the unheard-of, must be possible in
it. This is at bottom the only courage that is demanded of us, to have
courage for the most strange, the most inexplicable. And part of our
problem in modern times is our story and our dream is not big enough,
large enough, deep enough, true enough.
All this... is for
habitation by the god.”

(by Linton Kwesi Johnson):
“Welcome, nocturnal friends. I name you

good news from afar. I will give him water - he will bring a gift of
light.”

Poem:
“This
is the narrow bridge And you will stand there Peering at the
unraveling of a dark line across a chasm And you will not philosophise,
decide, weigh You will simply put your head down and start
moving Feeling your way inch by inch, unguided by voices Using only
the sound of your own sound reflected Feeling the rope of the narrow
bridge This is your protection As you move towards the end of the
millennium
Every moment spent bent over work Not cutting
corners, doing things with care Is protection Is the bridge to carry
you through the darkness For to do something with care Is the
closest thing to the feeling of love that can be found It is all I
know This is protection This is the narrow bridge
And the
hand reaches out for the drink, the drug And it grabs a claw
instead And you protest And you start to clean And you clean the
corners like they’ve never been cleaned before And you weep as you
clean, but you keep on going And in this tiny gesture of respect The
protection is found And the cape of grace Moves softly down about
the shoulders Throwing a safety line out to love.”

"If we compare… the music of

in so to say "religious service"; but after the work of Georgivanich, we
can understand it more, we can understand it better, that music helps to

the greatest possible emanations."

the world will come together as one.”

Lyrics:
“Sometimes
you can fix something by just being a prick Set things into
motion Sometimes you can fix something by just screaming,
"Shaddap!" Vegetarians are boring Sometimes - something! Plan!
Organise! A little gentle romancing (This has not been a good year to
... machinery) Sometimes you can fix something with coffee, and
cigarettes That'll get your juices flowing Sometimes you can fix
something by traveling in time Embrace the new Millennium Sometimes
you can fix something by traveling real far in time Make a wire
recording Sometimes you can fix something by traveling really far in
time Happy 1900 everybody - have a nice century!”

Lee Produced by Jane and Gerard for the Australian Film and Television

(AFTRS)
Narration:
“Julie Fry has spent the day sick in
bed. She’s bored with trying to play Monopoly on her own. Now she
discovers how perfectly Monopoly money fits onto the back of a Scotties
box. She wonders how many other paper products would fit onto the back
of a Scotties box. The pages in her exercise book? No. But folded
in half? Yes, they probably would. Most paper in fact, folded in
halves, quarters or thirds, would fit onto the back of a Scotties
box. We leave Julie now as her moment passes. There are one million
moments in your neighbourhood. Each has a fragile presence which fades
almost as it forms...”
