SACD ALBUM INFORMATION | ALBUM ART
Tuesday Afternoon
Justin Hayward
Alternate Mix
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 I'm looking at myself Reflections of my mind It's just the kind of day To leave myself behind So gently swaying Through the fairy-land of love If you'll just come with me And see the beauty of Tuesday afternoon 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
Dawn Is A Feeling
Michael Pinder
Alternate Mix
Dawn is a feeling A beautiful ceiling The smell of grass Just makes you pass Into a dream You're here today No future fears This day will last A thousand years If you want it to You look around you Things they astound you So breathe in deep You're not asleep Open your mind You're here today No future fears This day will last A thousand years If you want it to Do you understand That all over this land There's a feeling In minds far and near Things are becoming clear With a meaning Now that you're knowing Pleasure starts flowing It's true life flies Faster than eyes Could ever see You're here today No future fears This day will last A thousand years If you want it to
Sun Set
Michael Pinder
Alternate Version Without Orchestra
When the sun goes down And the clouds all frown Night has begun for the sunset See it with your eyes Earth re-energized By the sun's rays every day Take a look out there Planets everywhere When the sun goes down And the clouds all frown Night has begun for the sunset Shadows on the ground Never make a sound Fading away in the sunset Night has now become Day for everyone I can see it all From this great height I can feel the sun Slipping out of sight And the world still goes on Through the night
Twilight Time
Ray Thomas
Alternate Vocal Mix
Twilight Time, to dream awhile In veils of deepening gloom As fantasy strides over colourful skies The fog disappearing from view In twilight time, dream with me awhile A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase Of notes that are rich and so true An aerial display by the firefly brigade Dancing to tunes no one knew In twilight time, dream with me awhile In twilight time, dream with me awhile Building castles in the air Whistling to the wind As nature bows down her head See what tomorrow brings Twilight time, dream with me awhile Bats take to wing, like puppets on string Prancing in cool evening air In a sightless glide, no reason to hide Away from the sun's blinding stare In twilight time, dream with me awhile In twilight time, dream with me awhile

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 anymore 'Cause I love you Yes I love you Oh how I love you Gazing at people Some hand in hand Just what I'm going through They can understand Some try to tell me Thoughts they cannot defend Just what you want to be You will be in the end And I love you Yes, I love you Oh, how I love you Oh, how I love you 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 anymore 'Cause I love you Yes, I love you Oh, how I love you Oh, how I love you 'Cause I love you Yes, I love you Oh, how I love you Oh, how I love you

Justin Hayward

Here I come, Now I'm gone, now I'm past Fly me straight and fly me high Fly me straight and fly me high I'm up to the eyes and I love everyone Today I could cry I could reach for the sun I'm walking on air and I'm here and I'm there I travel the sky but for what I don't care Fly me straight and fly me high Fly me straight and fly me high

I look around at other people I brush their shoulders at the corner of the street But all they notice is their feet It wasn't meant this way Their minds have gone astray If they could lift their eyes they'd see There's people smiling just like me and I'll agree It's not their fault because it's raining It's all work and no play, it's just another day [Love] Love and beauty [Love] [Love] Love and beauty [Love] Should be everybody's duty To welcome every man as a friend I wish that I could change the world For every boy there'd be a girl for him to know And maybe people would look up Then they might realise they're not the only ones alive [Love] Love and beauty [Love] [Love] Love and beauty [Love] [Love] Love and beauty [Love] Should be everybody's duty To welcome every man as a friend [Love] Love and beauty [Love] [Love] Love and beauty [Love]

Cities
Justin Hayward
1967 Mono Single Master
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 Here the flowers don't grow Here the river's just a sewer People who move below Buildings with smells and noise and darkness Up above, all around In the sky, on the ground This is what, I have found Cities, cities Not for me No, no I don't believe you It's not the place to be No, no I won't believe you Here the flowers don't grow Here the river's just a sewer People who move below Buildings with smells and noise and darkness Up above, all around In the sky, on the ground This is what I have found Cities, cities, cities
Long Summer Days
Justin Hayward
1967 Stereo Studio Recording
Long summer days, I keep thinking What to do with my time So many ways, I keep sinking What's to do with my time? Take me back, I don't mind Take me back, I've got time Take me back, and let me start again Time hurries by, I keep thinking What's to do in our time Don't let it by, just keep thinking What's to do in our time? Take me back, I don't mind Take me back, I've got time Take me back, and let me start again Utopia's within our sight Don't kick it or we lose it Though you think the world's too fast It's that way 'cause we choose it Automation is the cry Our minds have been forgotten To understand me, you must try My thoughts are turning rotten Oh, please, please Don't mess it up now for me Please, please Don't sit there and condemn me Please, please, please Long summer days, I keep thinking What's to do with my time So many ways, I keep sinking What's to do with my time? Take me back, I don't mind Take me back, I've got time Take me back, and let me start again Ah, ah, ah, ah long summer days

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Benjamin / Marcus / Caldwell
BBC Sessions: "Saturday Club", May 9, 1967
Baby, don't you understand me now Sometimes I feel a little mad Don't you know that no-one alive Can always be an angel When things go wrong he's bound to feel a little bad Cause I'm just a soul who's intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood Sometimes baby, ohhh I feel so carefree With a joy that's hard to hide Sometimes I spend all night alone regretting And you've hurt me deep down inside Yes I'm just a soul who's intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood When I get edgey, I want you to know That I never mean to take it out on you Oh life has it's problems and I get my share But that's one thing that I never mean to do 'Cause I love you Ohhh, baby, don't you know I'm human With thoughts like any other man Sometimes I spend all night alone regretting Some foolish stupid thing that you've done Cause I'm just a soul who's intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood I'm just a soul who's intentions are good Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Peak Hour
John Lodge
BBC Sessions: "Easybeat", September 20, 1967
I see it all through my window, it seems Never failing like millions of bees All that is wrong No time to be won All they need to do What can be done Peak hour Peak hour Peak hour Minds are subject to what should be done Problems solved, time cannot be won One hour a day One hour at night Sees crowds of people All meant for flight Peak hour Peak hour Peak hour It makes me want to run out and tell them They've got time Take a step back out And look in I found out I've got time.... Minds are subject to what should be done Problems solved, time cannot be won One hour a day One hour at night Sees crowds of people All meant for flight Peak hour Peak hour Peak hour
