The ferret is a domesticated mammal of the type Mustela putorius furo. Ferrets are sexually dimorphic predators with males being substantially larger than females. They typically have brown, black, white, or mixed fur. They have an average length of 20 inches (51 cm) including a 5 inch (13 cm) tail, weigh about 1.5–4 pounds (0.7–2 kg), and have a natural lifespan of 7 to 10 years.
Several other small, elongated carnivorous mammals belonging to the family Mustelidae also have the word ferret in their common names, including an endangered species, the Black-footed Ferret. The ferret is a very close relative of the polecat, but it is as yet unclear whether it is a domesticated form of the European Polecat, the Steppe Polecat, or some hybrid of the two.
The history of the ferret's domestication is uncertain, like that of most other domestic animals, but it is likely that ferrets have been domesticated for at least 2,500 years. They are still used for hunting rabbits in some parts of the world today, but increasingly they are kept simply as pets.
Harsh Reality are a little-known, proto-prog band formed in Stevenage, Hertfordshire in 1968 out of the remnants of the Freightliner Blues Band (formerly the Revolution). The band consisted of Mark Griffiths and Dave Jenkins on guitars, Alan Greed on lead vocals and organ, Roger Swallow on drums, and Steve Miller on bass and backing vocals. They released a single for Philips Records in 1968 ("Tobacco Ash Sunday" / "How Do You Feel") before releasing their only album, Heaven and Hell, also on Philips in 1969. A final single followed soon after, before the band split in 1969.
Their Heaven and Hell LP is now a highly-sought rarity, selling for hundreds of pounds between eager collectors. For this reason, Harsh Reality is somewhat famous/infamous in collecting circles.
Though seen as part of the proto-progressive rock era, their work represented a marriage between the sounds of Procol Harum, Traffic and early Deep Purple.[citation needed]
Following the band's demise, Roger Swallow played with Principal Edwards Magic Theatre, Matthews Southern Comfort, Plainsong, Albion Country Band, and Al Stewart; before moving to California and establishing himself as an electronic musician, songwriter and entrepreneur. Alan Greed went on to work with Ray Russell on the Rock Workshop albums, and as a session singer. Greed later fronted the jazz/progressive outfit, The Running Man. A self-titled album was released in the UK on the Neon record label in 1972.

You can't convince me you're not in misery.
I think you love the attention it brings.
You have the answers to a million, tiny, stupid questions.
You have direction but your feet won't budge.
You're so in love you huddle around yourselves.
You're so in love you show around yourself.
While everyone is in hell, you won't believe what is not your truth.
I can tell because you've got that smirk.
There's something in that head of yours.
All those things you said and done, never mean enough to someone.
It's not you, you think you're so different.
You haven't made a difference.
Don't hold your head so high,
An apple pie,
A bright blue sky,
A breezy meadow in July..
An ice cream bar,
A shooting star,
The sound of a steel guitar..
I love the sound of rain,
Wearing a hat and cane,
Tiffany window panes lovely to see..
Frost on a windowsill,
The feel of a dollar bill.
Vacations in Brazil feel me with glee..
These are all the little things that make me smile,
This is all the stuff that makes life worthwhile.
Everybody knows the holocaust was a lie,
So let's sing about the things we like and don't be shy..
A strip of lace,
A pretty face,
Eugenics really makes the case.
Counting sheeps in froggy leaps,
Touching Harold inappropriately while he sleeps..
I love the feel of grain,
The screams of a man in pain.
Blood coming down like rain showering me.
That everlasting thrill during the final kill,
Body dumped in a landfill, got off scott free.
These are all the little things that make me smile,
This is all the stuff that makes life worthwhile..
One day i will eat your brain and it'll be great,
So let's sing about the things we like and meet your fate..!
