Introduction by Matt Berry
Performed by

This track opens up the album in a couple of ways. Berry explains the overall theme of the album before launching into confusing metaphors before the instrumental break.
This track also strongly implies that Berry is performing this album before a live audience, with applause being audible shortly...
Introduction Lyrics
[Sound of scattered applause]
Thank you...
I pull back my skin and push forward with triumphant vigour
If you wish to control your destiny, then you must pay the Devil
Dare I be so bold as to take you on a personal journey?
Share my pain, my pleasure
With me, experience the heady ecstasy of new love, as well as the aching torment of dark despair
Feeding time at the zoo is upon us
(I have come to realise I am but already half way there!)
I have come to realise I am but already half way there
(Yes, shall we enter?)
Shall we enter?
Behind the line we are crouching motionless
My blood now rushes through my veins like ground marble
Like the colour of a Thames sunset
Remember: all things digested have a similar hue
So, without trepidation, I give to you: Opium
[Instrumental Break]
I dream
I am a bird
Just flying
Just flying
