Nothing Is Real
Running time	3:52
Appears on	Tomorrow's Harvest

Joe Clay: "Hey, it's "Roygbiv" Part II. Well, a sharper, less gauzy take on the MHTRTC classic. Like everything on Tomorrow's Harvest, it is not as accessible or friendly as their previous work, but it is definitely from the same gene-pool." ^[1]

At about 1:54 in the track a distorted voice begins to speak. Many heard the first line as "Jesus was a human being" ^[2]

Upon more careful analysis, the best interpretation of the full lyrics is

"Jesus, was it you indeed"

"to flirt unkindly with my greed"

"[promising/promises] eternal life"

"when you knew it was not right"

"when you knew that what I'd need was willingness and the comfort there"

^[3] ^[4] ^[5]

The title may be a reference to the Beatles' song 'Strawberry Fields Forever', which contains the line 'Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about', this may be relevant, as in interviews the Sandison brothers have expressed a strong interest in the Beatles' psychedelic works, Strawberry Fields Forever being one of their most psychedelic.
