Earthling's 1st Transmission video was filmed at Speakers Corner in London’s Hyde Park. A wonderfully chaotic mid-90’s spot where people got on their soapbox & spoke their mind on whatever subject was bugging them i.e. a perfect location for this Earthling video !

Previous notable speakers had at the spot had included : George Orwell, Marcus Garvey & Karl Marx.

The video was made with maverick film maker Mike Lipscombe & was Earthling's debut single off their RADAR LP released by Cooltempo in 1995.

Lyrics:
I know who I am
I′m not who you think I am
I′m not who you think I am
I′m not who you think I am
I know who I am
I'm rock, I'm roll, Nat King Cole
Shostakovich drowning in a fish bowl,
Earthling’s something you can never get a hold of
Baby took a load off and then she strolled off,
Whistling, Humming, Thumbing a ride,
"Driver won't you take me to the other side?"
I′m a book, A poem, By Leonard Cohen,
Son of the Dice Man and I won't stop throwing.
I′m Boris Karloff, The man they couldn’t hang,
I'm a Ruffneck romantic, Talking that slang,
I'm Jesus Christ Superstar
Driving around in an old yellow car,
I'm jumping on the balcony
Landing on a beggar man,
I can fly, I can fly to Japan,
Hailstones falling on my dreads
Reminding me of something Hendrix said.
Tunes from the Boom come back on many levels,
Sounds from the earthling swing dishevelled,
I′m Pollyanna in the way that I portray,
Poo poo, La la, I’ll kiss you on a good day.
Hey little beetle , Sliding in my bath,
When you flip on your back, You really make me laugh,
I used to kill worms when I was a kid
I’m Mr. Mclaren, so did I kill Sid?
It’s crazy how my girl walks that simple line,
She's a simple schizophrenic but we get along fine,
I′m a young Parisian, Maybe I'm mistaken,
Maybe I′m Cuban, Maybe I'm Jamaican,
I know who I am
I′m not who you think I am
I′m not who you think I am
I′m not who you think I am
I know who I am.
I never say "never", I always say "more"
I know the score, I know what to look for
I know who I am, I′m not who you think I am
I know who I am.
Kicking like a Kung-fu Shakespeare
Another girl another planet
On the corner, just waits there
Oh gosh Oh gosh, I’m Juliette Binoche
I'm on my way to Babylon, by bus
I′m a big bloke
When I smoke, I don't choke
"Hi Malachi" let′s talk about hope
In the beginning head spinning made me dizzy
I′m the mirror man so don't ask who is heLondon is my city, Jamaica's my country
Africa′s my history, It ain′t no mystery
How I came to be Earthling free,
Sitting in Ilford watching TV.
Where's Uhura? On an adventure?
Did she touch your sexual centre?
Cursing , Never seen an earthling
Never seen a microphone , Microphone
Now I′m all alone
Lost in my head, On the road until tomorrow
I'm double demented, like William Burroughs
P to the I to the M P Pimp
There’s Serpico and Erco reading Iceberg Slim.
I′m Marcus Garvey, I'm Harvey Keitel,
I′m the ghost of a dog chasing Edie Brickell,
It's crazy perplexing I'm hexing like a Haitian
I′m an Arawak Indian picking pockets like Fagan,
I know who I am
I′m not who you think I am
I′m not who you think I am
I′m not who you think I am
I know who I am.
I never say "never", I always say "more"
I know the score , I know what to look for
I know who I am, I'm not who you think I am
I know who I am.
I know who I am
I′m not who you think I am
I′m not who you think I am
I′m not who you think I am
I know who I am.
I′m Michelangelo working on a totem pole
I'm Galileo, studying Shinto
I′m the wretched of the earth giving birth to a baby,
Grasshopper, tell me about slavery
I'm Yma Sumac, watching television,
Yeah, Tripitaka gave me permission
I′m that man in 1686,
Saying black people come from Venus, Yeah,
I saw em reading poetry & practising verses
What's the meaning of 33 degrees in the morning?
It ain′t easy man, It ain't easy.
