- A Simple Game
As time goes by you will see
That we're going to be free
You and me, we'll touch the sky
Can you see in your mind's eye
That we are one
We're all the same
And life is just a simple game
- After You Came
Since it began I've got one dream and really It's my only blessing
If I can come through then so can you
And you will find there's no regretting
Things that you want from your life's font
Will never let your spirit grow
Come back to earth for what it's worth
For you've been dreaming of the ceiling not a home
- And the Tide Rushes In
I've been searching for my dream
A hundred times today
I build them up, you knock them down,
Like they were made of clay,
Then the tide rushes in
And washes my castles away.
Then I'm really not so sure
- Are You Sitting Comfortably
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
- Blue World
Heart and soul took control
Took control of me
Paid my dues spread the news
Hands across the sea
Put me down turned me round
Turned me round to see
Marble halls open doors
Someone found the key
- Breaking Point
Is that the wind
On your face?
Are you sure you're alone?
Are you sure you're alone?
Feel the chill
Of an empty space
Are you sure you're alone?
- Bye Bye Bird
I say bye bye, bird.
I say bye bye, bird.
I say bye bye, baby.
I say bye bye.
Bye bye, baby, bye bye.
Bye bye, baby, bye bye.
Bye bye, baby, bye bye.
Bye bye, Birdie.
- Candle of Life
Something you can't hide
Says you're lonely
Hidden deep inside
Of you only
It's there for you to see
Take a look and be
Burn slowly the candle of life
- Cities
Neon, the city's sun
Taxis like beetles run, and I see
Pavements with yellow lines
Grey walls and big bold signs with darkness
Up above, all around
In the sky, on the ground
This is what, I have found
Cities, cities
- Dawning Is the Day
Rise, let us see you,
Dawning is the day,
Miss, misty meadow,
You will find your way,
Wake up in the morning to yourself and leave this crazy life behind you.
Listen, we're trying to find you.
Flow to the sea,
- Dear D
Dear diary, what a day it's been.
Dear diary, 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.
- Dear Diary
Dear diary, what a day it's been.
Dear diary, it's been just like a dream.
Woke up too late. Wasn't where I should have been.

- December Snow
Like December snow
That lays in the wood
You're gone too soon
I knew you should
With October skies
You brought your love
But November came
- Deep
Every time I hear the sound of the rain
Beating on my roof again
I want to taste your love
And I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
- Departure
Be it sight, sound, smell, or touch
There's something
Inside that we need so much
The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound
Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground
The wonder of flowers to be covered and then to burst up
Thru tarmac, to the sun again
Or to fly to the sun without burning a wing
- Don't Need a Reindeer
Do you remember long ago?
And how we loved when we were children
Let's be like children
This Christmas time
And if you say that you'll be mine
Then all the stars will shine around us
Love will surround us
- Dr. Livingstone, I Presume
Doctor Livingston, I presume
Stepping out of the jungle gloom
Into the midday sun
What did you find there?
Did you stand a while and stare?
Did you meet anyone?
I've seen butterflies galore
- Driftwood
Just like the driftwood of a dream
Left of the seashore of sleep
Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme
Lost in the desert of time
Time waits for no one at all
No, not even you
You thought you'd seen it all before
You really thought you knew
- Emily's song
Lovely to know the warmth
Your smile can bring to me
I want to tell you but the words you do not know
Sing me a lullaby
Of songs you cannot write
And I will listen for there's beauty where there's love
- Eternity Road
Hark listen here he comes
Hark listen here he comes
Turning, spinning, catherine wheeling
For ever changing
There's no beginning
Speeding through a charcoal sky
Observe the truth we cannot lie
- Evening
When the sun goes down
And the clouds all frown
Night has begun for the sunset
See it with your eyes
As we energize
By the sun's rays everyday
Take a look out there
Planets everywhere
- Floating
Floating free as a bird
Sixty foot leaps it's so absurd
From up here you should see the view
Such a lot of space for me and you
Oh you'd like it
Gliding around, get your feet off the ground
Oh you'd like it
- Foolish Love
We ran through the summer fields
Between the earth and sky
Little did we realise
We were flying you and I.
We sang to the stars above
We praised the earth below
You fell into my arms that night
- For My Lady
My boat sails stormy seas
Battles oceans filled with tears
At last my port's in view
Now that I've discovered you
Oh I'd give my life so lightly
For my gentle lady
Give it freely and completely
To my lady
- Forever Autumn
The summer sun is fading
As the year grows old
And darker days are drawing near.
The winter winds will be much colder
Now you're not here.
I watch the birds fly south across the autumn sky
- From the Bottom of My Heart
I can't be with you anymore
In love with you
You gotta realise, baby
There ain't nowhere
I can find love anymore
That I can criticize
From the bottom of my heart
I really love you

The Magnificent Moodies (1965)

"Goodbye"
Since you gotta go
Oh, you had better go now
Go now, go now, go now
Before you see me cry
- Going Nowhere
Once more I've loved I've laughed and I've lost
Now I'm alone left counting the cost
Once more sweet child of middling years
Basted again in bitter-sweet tears
I will survive the solitude
But come alive
Although the new
- Had To Fall In Love
What mattered to me was the right to be free
Like I'll be someday
I'm waiting for my heart to lead the way
The places I've seen and the roads in between
Make me wonder why
I'm searching for my dreams up in the sky
- Have You Heard
Part 1
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.
- He Can Win
Never put him down if he's not right
Every man has time to see the light
If he's cool about it
He could win
There's no doubt about it
He'll be in
He can win

Blasting, billowing, bursting forth
With the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes
Man with his flaming pyre
Has conquered the wayward breezes
Climbing to tranquility
Far above the cloud
Conceiving the heavens
Clear of misty shroud
- Highway
It's a long, long highway
Will this road of life lead me to someone
Who sees the world in a grain of sand
Who holds the future in the palm of their hand, aaah
No one else can see things like I do
It's a long, long highway
Looking for a home where the seed was sown
- House Of Four Doors
Walking through that door
Outside we came nowhere at all
Perhaps the answers here
Not there anymore
Then in our hearts the light broke through
A path lost for years is there in view
- I Just Don't Care
album: "The Other Side Of Life" (1986)
The indestructible has broken down
The undeniable is turned around
And I don't care my love
I just don't care
I love you
- I Know You're Out There Somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
The mist is lifting slowly
I can see the way ahead
And I've left behind the empty streets
- I've Got a Dream
I've got a dream
And, every night, I said to myself,
Yeah, I said I gotta share it,
Share the dream with somebody else.
We could make a beautiful day,
Oh baby, it's a beautiful dream
But what am I going to do with it, baby?
Say, what am I going to do with it, baby?
- In My World
In my world
It's heaven on earth when you're close to me
I could see
That moment of truth when you spoke to me
In my world
It's never too late we can both be free
In my world
It's heaven on earth when you're near

- Lazy Day
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 (It's such a crying shame)
- Legend of a Mind
Timothy Leary's dead.
No, no no no, he's outside, looking in.
Timothy Leary's dead.
No, no no no, he's outside, looking in.
He'll fly his astral plane,
Takes you trips around the bay,
- Let Me Go
When I telephone you
Don't make out you're not at home;
It wouldn't hurt at all to answer the call.
When I hold you near,
When I call you ‘dear',
You never seem to want to know me at all.
Oh baby,
- Lovely to See You
A wonderful day for passing my way.
Knock and my door and even the score
With your eyes.
Lovely to see you again my friend.
Walk along with me to the next bend.
Dark cloud of fear is blowing away.
- Magic
When I look in your eyes
I can't see why
There's no reflection of me
When I look in your heart
Let it be the start
Work your magic on me
When I look in your eye
- Meet Me Halfway
Never dream't I would hope
While I count the miles
Through the wind and the rain
I can see your smile
There ain't no turning back
I can see it in the distance
Got it in my sight
- Melancholy Man
"ПЕЧАЛЬНЫЙ ЧЕЛОВЕК"
Я печальный человек, вот кто я есть,
Миром я раздавлен, мои ноги на земле.
Да, я очень одинок, делал всё, что мог
Изумлённый миром, и я понял в чём итог,
Что сумеем стать мудрее, подождём...
- Minstrel's Song
Words a simple song
A minstrel sings
A way of life in his eyes
Hear the morning call of waking birds
When they are singing, bringing
Love - love.
Everywhere love is all around,
Everywhere love is all around.
- Miracle
I closed the door and I walked away
From the life I knew
On a night in June
I took a chance and I lost control
Trying to find out why
On a night in July
Why this hesitation?
- My Song
I'm going to sing my song
And sing it all day long
A song that never ends
How can I tell you, all the things inside my head.
The change in these past years
Has made me see our world
In many different ways
- Never Comes the Day
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,
- New Horizons
Well I've had dreams enough for one
And I've got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I got my new horizons out to sea
But I'm never going to lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
Cos I know I'm going to find my own peace of mind
- Nice to Be Here
Nice to be here, hope you agree
Lying in the sun
Lovely weather, must climb a tree
The show has just begun
All the leaves start swaying to the breeze that's playing
On a thousand violins
And the bees are humming to a frog sat strumming
- Night In White Satin
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters i've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty i'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end;
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before;
Just what the truth is
I can't say any more

NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN,
NEVER REACHING THE END,

BEAUTY I´D ALWAYS MISSED
WITH THESE EYES BEFORE,
JUST WHAT THE TRUTH IS
- No More Lies
I need you like you need me
Truly and completely
Never be apart
I think that you should tell me
Come right out and tell me
Just what's in your heart
And if you think that it's all right
- Om
The rain is on the roof.
Hurry high, butterfly,
As clouds roll past my head.
I know why the skies all cry.
Om. Om. Heaven. Om.
The Earth turns slowly round.

- Once Is Enough
Just ask me once
Don't ask me twice
Never ask me three times
I don't give that much advice
I took my chance at the first opportunity
To wander through this world
And to do what comes so naturally
Once is enough
- One more time to live
Look out of my window
See the world passing by
See the look in her eye
One more time to live and I have made it mine
Leave the wise to write for they write worldy rhymes
And he who wants to fight begins the end of time
For I have riches more than these
- Our guessing game
Walking in the sand
Thinking of things adventures in my mind
Tall ships that sail
Across the oceans wide
They won't wait for me
See how they glide away so gracefully
And with tomorrow what will become of me
It leaves me so much to explain
- Painted Smile
I can sing
I can dance
Just give me a chance
To do my turn for you
There's a change I'll slip
But with stiff upper lip
I'll sing a song for you
Laughter is free
- Peak Hour
I see it all through my window it seems
Never failing like millions of bees
All that is wrong
No time will be won
All they need to do-o-o-o
What can be done?
Peak hour, peak hour, peak hour
- Please Think About It
There in your eyes, I see
That you want to be free
There by your side, I'll be
If you still want me
Please think about it (Think about it)
I need your love
I'm no good without it (Think about it)
- Question
Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door?
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war
'Cause when we stop and look around us
There is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution
- Ride my See-Saw
Ride, ride my see-saw,
Take this place
On this trip
Just for me.

Not gonna start from the top,
Not gonna lose control,
Not gonna turn around,
- Say It With Love

'Bout the things that matter
To me and you
I've decided to do what I can
And to find the kind of man
I really am
I can see the world from here
- Send Me No Wine
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.
- Shadows On The Wall
When the fantasy we live in
Lies in pieces on the ground
And there is no false illusion
That can turn your heart around
Nothing can change the way I feel
Nothing can take your love from me
If only I didnt worry
If only I could see
- Slings And Arrows
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows,
Slings and arrows, slings and arrows.
No chance for a second chance
When the arrows start to fly.
No way is an easy way
To say goodbye.
No dream is ever lost
If you never cease to try.
- So Deep Within You
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.
- Steppin' In A Slide Zone
I took a ride in a limousine
I took a road I'd never been
I met a stranger by the way
His coat was torn but his eyes were clear
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone
- Survival
Shadows of night falling over my head
People walking
Passing me by
Shadows of dreams falling out of the blue
People talking
What can I do
Where do I go from here
Where do I go from here
- Talkin' Talkin'
Talking, talking.
It doesn't really matter
If you know my name.
It doesn't really matter
If you see things the same
As I do.
It doesn't even matter
If I'm tired and tense.
- Talking Out of Turn
(John Lodge)
When I took a little loving from you
Oh I, never thought about the hurting inside
But I took a little more than I should
Oh why, can't explain that I would ever
Let you slip through my fingers
Let you escape like yesterday
- The Actor
from "In Search of the Lost Chord" (p)1968
The curtain rises on the scene
With someone shouting to be free
The play unfolds before my eyes
There stands the actor who is me
The sleeping hours takes this part
- The Balance
After he had journeyed,
And his feet were sore,
And he was tired,
He came upon an orange grove
And he rested
And he lay in the cool,
And while he rested, he took to himself an orange and tasted it,
And it was good.
- The Best Way to Travel
And you can fly
High as a kite if you want to
Faster than light if you want to
Speeding through the universe
Thinking is the best way to travel
It's all a dream
Light passing by on the screen
- The Day Begins
Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is gray and yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion
Pinprick holes in a colorless sky
Let insipid figures of light pass by
- The Day We Meet Again
The day we meet again
I'll be waiting there, I'll be waiting there for you
'cause the years have been so lonely, like a dog without a home
It's dangerous when you find out
You've been drinking on your own
The day we meet again
We will walk in peace through the garden, down the road
- The Dream
Spoken:
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
Come to witness spring's new hope, born of leaves decaying.
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.

Cowboys fighting out a duel
Time seems to stand quite still

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
- The Other Side Of Life
The Atmosphere
On the streets tonight
Is the driving beat
Of the world
The word down here
On the streets tonight
Is the truest music
You've heard
- The Story in Your Eyes
I've been thinking about our fortune
And I've decided that we're really not to blame
For the love that's deep inside us now
Is still the same
And the sounds we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes
It's been shining down upon me now
- The Swallow
(Hayward)
Time goes by
Seems like the blink of an eye
It's so crazy
What can we do
It's so strange
- The Voice
Won't you take me back to school
I need to learn the golden rule
Won't you lay it on the line
I need to hear it just one more time
Oh won't you tell me again
Can you feel it
Won't you tell me again
Tonight
- The Word
Spoken:
This garden universe vibrates complete.
Some, we get a sound so sweet.
Vibrations reach on up to become light,
And then through gamma, out of sight.
Between the eyes and ears there lie
The sounds of color and the light of a sigh.
And to hear the sun, what a thing to believe,
- Tortoise and the Hare
You know he's moving fast,
Be he's still going slow,
He's ahead in the race,
And there is not far to go,
And your load is so heavy
And your legs want to rest.
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.
- True Story
Now listen to me people
'Cause I want to tell you something
Every single day
I go on my way
And I won't worry about my baby
Worry about my girl
'Cause she's a pretty one
Yeah, yeah
- Tuesday Afternoon
Tuesday afternoon,
I'm just beginning to see, now I'm on my way
It doesn't matter to me, chasing the clouds away.
Something, calls to me,
The trees are drawing me near, I've got to find out why?
Those gentle voices I hear, explain it all with a sigh.
- Twilight Time
Twilight time to dream a while
In veils of deepening gloom
As fantasy strides over colorful skies
Before disappearing from view
In twilight time dream with me a while
A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase
Of notes that are rich and so true
An aerial display by the firefly brigade
- Under My Feet
It's a hard life
Never let yourself get down
You may never get back
You may never ever turn it round
You may say it took you by surprise
Never ending
Never changing
I didn't see through your disguise
- Vintage Wine
I remember the taste of the vintage wine
From '63 through to '69
And I'm proud of the things we believed in then
If I had the chance I'd go around again
Oh, I tell you
We were young and free
Oh, I'll tell you
- Visions of Paradise
The sounds in my mind just come to me
Come see, come see
And the call of her eyes makes waterfalls
Of me, of me
In the garden of her love I'll stay awhile
To be, to be
What the seeds of her thoughts once mean to me
- Voices In The Sky
Bluebird, flying high
Tell me what you sing
If you could talk to me
What news would you bring
Of voices in the sky
Nightingale, hovering high
Harmonize the wind
Darkness, your symphony
- Want to Be With You
When I think of all the things that we've been through
And all the things we've yet to do
I, I start to realise
Without you by my side
The world is such a lonely place
Want to be with you
I remember all the heartaches we have known
- Watching And Waiting
Watching and waiting
For a friend to play with
Why have I been alone so long
Mole he is burrowing his way to the sunlight
He knows there's some there so strong
'Cause here there's lot of room for doing
The thing you've always been denied
- Yes I Believe
The spirit of Christmas is the spirit of love
Still there when the innocence has gone
But we have each other we laugh and we cry
The cares of the world still carry on
Yes, I believe in a better world
And like the rest of us I pray
For peace on this earth and a better life
- You can never go home
I don't know what I'm searching for
I never have opened the door,
Tomorrow might find me at last,
Turning my back on the past,
But, time will tell, of stars that fell,
A million years ago.
Memories can never take you back, home, sweet home.
You can never go home anymore.
- Your Wildest Dreams
"Your Wildest Dreams"
Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you
