Mumps Bus Station- Oldham; mid 1970's
"Between the iron gates of fate
The seeds of time were sown
And watered by the deeds of those
Who know and who were known
For knowledge is a deadly friend
If no-one sets the rules
The fate of all mankind I see
Is in the hands of fools!"

This was on the wall of the Midland Bank that faced the bus stands for years, and provided much cogitation material for the confuzzled hordes of schoolkids that awaited there,until eventually it was removed.

It is apparently a lyric from a song by Aphrodite's Child, starring one Vangelis, IIRC.

No-one ever knew where it came from....

unless You... know otherwise!
