@SONG: In the Beginning
(Graeme Edge)
First Man: I think, I think I am, I think.
Establishment: Of course you are my bright little star.
I've miles
And miles
Of files
Pretty files of your forefather's fruit
And now to suit our
Great computer
You're magnetic ink.
First Man: I'm more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.
Inner Man: There you go, man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles
And piles
Of trials
With smiles
It riles them to believe
That you perceive
The web they weave
And keep on thinking free.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
@SONG: Lovely to See You
(Justin Hayward)
A wnderful day for passing my way
Knock on my door and even the score
With your eyes
CHORUS
Lovely to see you again my friend.
Walk along with me to the next bend.
Dark cloud of fear is blowing away
Now that you're here, you're going to stay,
'Cause it's
CHORUS
Tell us what you've seen in faraway forgotten land
Where empires have turned back to sand.
Wonderful day for passing my way.
Knock on my door and even the score
With your eyes.
CHORUS
------------------------------------------------------------
@SONG: Dear Diary
(Ray Thomas)
Dear diary, what a day it's been.
Dear dirary, it's been just like a dream.
Woke up too late. Wasn't where I should have been.
For goodness sake what's happening to me.
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary.
It was cold outside my door.
So many people by the score,
Rushing around as senselessly
They don't notice there's people like me.
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary.
They don't know what they're playing.
They've got no way of knowing what the game is.
Still they carry on doing what they can
Outside me, yours truly, dear diary.
It's over. Will tomorrow be the same?
I know that they're really not to blame.
If they weren't so blind then surely they'd see
There's a much better way for them to be
Inside me, yours truly, dear diary.
-----------------------------------------------------
@SONG: Send Me No Wine
(John Lodge)
Send me no wine
To make an invitation.
Leave me no time
In your imagination
Only to find
Words in your mind
They're gonna make you, leave your,
Leave your heart behind.
CHORUS
Send me, send me no wine,
To send my love away.
Send me, send me no wine,
To send my love away
(For) once in my life
I need no conversation.
All of my time
I'll spend in fascination.
Give me my love,
With you in my life.
If only everybody
Found the answer in love
CHORUS
------------------------------------------------
@SONG: To Share Our Love
(John Lodge)
Makes me feel good,
Now I can see
It takes more than one to give
The life we need.
I can't think why
I never thought of this before
Now I know what it means to share
To share my love.
Can''t think
Why I never thought
Of this before, now I know
What it means to me
To share, share all my love with you
To share, share all my love with you
Now I know why
I've found the answer for myself
What a day it would be to share
To share your love
Can't think
Why I never thought
Of this before, now I know
What it means to me
To share, share all my love with you
To share, share all my love with you
------------------------------------------------
@SONG: So Deep Within You
(Mike Pinder)
Talk to me baby, I want to sleep at night
My heart is heavy, it's weighed down by the night.
And now I'm lonely, I want to see the light
So deep within you.
Cool wind is blowing through your crazy hair.
Warm colours flowing, this feeling we have shared.
And now I'm lonely I want tofeel the love
So deep within you.
Your love's a never-ending dream
A castle by a stream of sweet understanding
I know you're thinking of me too, the messages
>From you are my inspiration.
Love's incense lingers, it never fades away.
Like you I'm waiting for our special day.
And now I'm lonely I want to feelthe love
So deep within you
My love is burning, like a forest fire
My heart is yearning, I feel a warm desire.
And now I'm lonely I want to touch the fire
So deep within you.
----------------------------------------------------------
@SONG: Never Comes the Day
(Justin Hayward)
Work away today, work away tomorrow.
Never comes the day for my love and me.
I feel her gently sighing as the evening slips away.
If only you knew what's inside of me now
You wouldn't want to know me somehow,
But
You will love me tonight,
We alone will be alright,
In the end
CHORUS
Give just a little bit more
Take a little bit less
>From each other tonight
Admit what you're feeling
And see what's in front of you,
It's never out of your sight.
We all know it's true,
You know it's true,
We all know it's true.
(REPEAT)
---------------------------------------------------------
@SONG: Lazy Day
(Ray Thomas)
Lazy day, Sunday afternoon,
Like to get your feet up, watch TV.
Sunday roast is something good to eat,
Must be lamb today 'cause beef was last week.
So full up, bursting at the seams,
Soon you'll start to nod off, happy dreams.
Wake up, for tea and buttered scones
Such a lot of work for you Sunday moms.
It's such a crying shame
Week after week the same.
Today's heaven-sent and you're feeling content,
You worked all week long.
Still, it's quite sad tomorrow's so bad
And I don't feel too strong.
Lazy day, Sunday afternoon,
LIke to get your feet up, watch TV.
Sunday roast is something good to eat,
Now it's almost over till next week.
That's how your life goes by
Until the day you die.
--------------------------------------------------------
@SONG: Are You Sitting Comfortably
(Ray Thomas/Justin Hayward)
Take another sip my love and see what you will see,
A fleet of golden galleons, on a crystal sea.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Let Merlin cast his spell.
Ride along the winds of time and see where we have been,
The glorious age of Camelot, when Guinevere was Queen.
It all unfolds before your eyes
As Merlin casts his spell.
The seven wonders of the world he'll lay before your feet,
In far-off lands, on distant shores, so many friends to meet.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Let Merlin cast his spell.
------------------------------------------------------------------
@SONG: The Dream
(Graeme Edge)
When the white eagle of the North is flying overhead
The browns, reds and golds of autumn lie in the gutter, dead.
Remember then, that summer birds with wings of fire flaying
Came to witness spring's new hope, born of leaves decaying.
Just as new life will come from death, love will come at leisure.
Love of love, love of life and giving without measure
Gives in return a wondrous yearn of a promise almost seen.
Live hand-in-hand and together we'll stand on the threshold of a dream.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
@SONG: Have You Heard? (Part 1)
(Mike Pinder)
Now you know that you are real,
Show your friends that you and me
Belong to the same world,
Turned on to the same word,
Have you heard?
Now you know that you are free
Living all your life at ease.
Each day has its always,
A look down life's hallways, doorways,
To lead you there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
@SONG: The Voyage
---Instrumental---
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
@SONG: Have You Heard (Part II)
(Mike Pinder)
Now you know how nice it feels,
Scatter good seed in the fields.
Life's ours for the making,
Eternity's waiting, waiting,
For you and me.
Now you know that you are real,
Show your friends that you and me
Belong to the same world,
Turned on to the same word,
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
