In the Beginning
Graeme Edge
First Man: I think... I think I am. Therefore 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 of trials with smiles It riles them to believe That you perceive The web they weave... And keep on thinking free
Lovely To See You
Justin Hayward
Wonderful day for passing my way Knock on my door, 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 Now that you're here, you're going to stay 'Cause it's... Lovely to see you again my friend Walk along with me to the next bend Tell us what you've seen In faraway forgotten lands Where empires have turned back to sand Wonderful day for passing my way Knock on my door and even the score With your eyes Lovely to see you again my friend Walk along with me to the next bend
Dear Diary
Ray Thomas
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 Rushing around so senselessly They don't notice there's people like me Write lightly, yours truly, dear Diary They don't know what they're playing No, they've no way of knowing what the game is Still they carry on doing what they can Outside me, oh politely, 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[...Dear Diary, it was cold today But the sun came out later So I went out and strolled about Looking at the shops Didn't really see anything I liked So I didn't buy anything. On the way home, I posted a letter Been quite a nice day... Somebody exploded an H-bomb today But it wasn't anybody I knew...]
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 Send me, send me no wine To send my love away Send me, send me no wine To send my love away 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 Send me, send me no wine To send my love away Send me, send me no wine To send my love away Send me, send me no wine To send my love away Send me, send me no wine To send my love away

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
Are You Sitting Comfortably
Ray Thomas and 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...
The Dream
Graeme Edge
When the white eagle of the North Is flying overhead And the browns, reds and golds of autumn Lie in the gutter, dead Remember then, the 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 Live hand-in-hand And together we'll stand On the threshold of a dream....
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
The Voyage
Mike Pinder
~~ Instrumental ~~
Have You Heard (Part 2)
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?
