SACD ALBUM INFORMATION | ALBUM ART
In the Beginning
Graeme Edge
Full Version
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
So Deep Within You
Mike Pinder
Full Version
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 to feel 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 feel the 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
Dear Diary
Ray Thomas
Alternate Mix
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 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 I 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...]

Lovely To See You
Justin Hayward
BBC Sessions: John Peel's "Top Gear", February 18, 1969
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 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
Send Me No Wine
John Lodge
BBC Sessions: John Peel's "Top Gear", February 18, 1969
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
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 to feel 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 feel the 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
Are You Sitting Comfortably
Ray Thomas and Justin Hayward
BBC Sessions: "The Tony Brandon Show" April 2, 1969
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...
