Steve Hillage

I'm walking on the land
But my mind is under the sea
The fish in the sky just swim on by
And the birds in my brain keep on singing
The trees keep growing
And the seeds are sowing beneath the ether
It's time for my soul to go

Swimming inside Nature
Diving through the flowers
Popping out at the bottom of the sea
In minutes that seem like hours

I want you to come with me
Journeying with your mind

We'll learn to feel the Devas
And feed them with our vibes
Hear the music of the spheres
Through the ears of the cauliflowers
And the living grass that breathes

I want you to come with me
Journeying with your mind

So let's dive below the waves of words
And sink beneath the turbulence
And leave the restless images behind us
And touch the secret power of nature
Under the sea

Way down
Way down
Way down below the ocean
We'll be riding our emotion
Way down
Way down below the ocean
We'll be riding our emotion

Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I open my eyes to take a peep
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquillity.
'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love,
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity.
'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love,
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy
gurdy.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Here comes the roly poly man and he's singing songs of love,
Roly poly, roly poly, roly poly, poly he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang,
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang

Om Nama Shivaya, Shivaya Nama Om
Om Nama Shivaya, Shivaya Nama Om
Om Nama Shivaya, Shivaya Nama Om
Om Nama Shivaya, Shivaya Nama Om

It's all too much, It's all too much

When I look into your eyes, your love is there for me
And the more I go inside, the more there is to see

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
Everywhere, it's what you make
For us to take, it's all too much

Floating down the stream of time, of life to life with me
Makes no difference where you are or where you'd like to be

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around here
All the world's a birthday cake,
So take a piece but not too much

Sail me on a silver sun, for I know that I'm free
Show me that I'm everywhere, and get me home for tea

It's all to much for me to see
A love that's shining all around here
The more I am, the less I know
And what I do is all too much

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
Everywhere, it's what you make
For us to take, it's all too much

It's too much.....It's too much

with your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue(x2)
you're too much
mumblings

Too much too much too much

We're picking up the pieces of the puzzle of the source of machines,
we've seen every crazy story all rolled into one and now we see just what it means,
we've seen the good guys and the bad guys and it's up to us to choose our inner friends,
so we can all join in together in light and love and laughter in the end.

oh me oh my there's a light in the sky
oh me oh my there's a light in the sky

In seventy seven the light shone through our hearts and through or eyes,
we looked into the ethers and we saw that they were very much alive,
the sources were exalting us to find a higher energy,
so we could all join in together to live and love and be all that we can be.


oh me oh my there's a light in the sky
oh me oh my there's a light in the sky

listening to the radio
inspiration starts to flow
you tune into the radio
you like the feeling of letting go
deep inside your heart you pick up the right station
shining through the layers of static in your brain
you always know it when you're tuned into the good one
it's pure and clear
so when the media barons program their pollution
your new transmissions will just neutralize their rays
I see it radiating with the radio of freedom
and linking up our hearts and minds again
listening to the radio
information starts to flow
a biological radio
something new begins to grow
a living crystal radio
a powering your dynamo
ya tune up in a radio

We try
To find the light inside, to find the light inside.
But it's not easy,
Searching , searching, searching, searching,
For the spark,
And the light to guide us.
We try,
To rise above the pain and sorrow of frequent failure,
And all the time,
The living spark is waiting deep inside,
To come bubbling out into our lives,
Joining up with all the other little sparks,
In the Ocean of Life,

Waiting for the flash.

Ooh yeh, the Salmon swimming up the stream of time
Leaping up the Falls of Man, to the source of Love and Light
Guided from Atlantis to the Water-Bearer's jar.
Far out-nearerin-and back to where We Are. (Hello!)

You know the way to Be
You know the way to Be
You know the way to Be
Ah ah-we're getting nearer
Nearer to the Water Bearer
Ooh we're getting nearer
We're swimming, swimming, swimming with the Salmon
(Ooh! yr. swimming with the Salmon)

Salty Salmon Solomon Seal,
Soulmender Salamander Soul of Man
Salar Salmon Semen SalMundi
Solver of the Mystery ? WoW!

Salty Solomon Salmon Soul of Man
Sun-Moon Salmon Salamander Solomon
Salty Solomon Salmon Soul of Man
King of the Fishes...

I will make you Fishers of Men said Fish to Fishes
For Fish is Fisher of Man who Fishes
And if Man is Fisher of Fish and Fisher of Men
And Fish is Fisher of Man and Fisher of Fish
And then that Man is Manna of Man
Then we'll get there if we can.

The sun sings that he wants you all to know
What dawns behind our lunarsea
For since our very words were commandeered
We've explored the infinite circuitry.
To try and find a scheme that gave us form
It burns our curiosity.
And the answers that we sit and hope to find
Are living here inside of we.

And so we set foot on the pathway
Between the pillars of black and white
To put aside the fears and doubts that hold this old world down
And open up our hidden store of Light, within.

I saw all the stars that glimmer above me get off
their pegs, and gently flicker down.
And all the people of the world dissolve into
a sparkling dust.
And through the Holy Vortex, for a second it did pass,
and then it returned to what it used to Be

And in the second of realization
the Angel of the Rainbow was watching us to see.
If we were ready now to be a colour in his Harmony.
Ah! I love its Holy Mystery.

No need for sitting always on our own,
staring desperately at all of the problems of this world.
We see mistakes maybe our high is blown,
But sometimes you need the black to see the white to
Find the core of love and Beauty.
So we can change our Lead back into Gold,
and make the chemical wedding twixt ecstasy and concentration.
We've got to learn to use our hearts and minds
as the building stones to make the New Age World Electrik Temple.

So people look into each other's eyes
and gaze at them with certainty.
We're gathered here today from all around
to celebrate eternity.
The Spirit in the air is never far
immersed in our totality.
And the answers that we sit and hope to find are living here in side of we.

Never let the seal of love be broken
lest you act too suddenly.
We're waiting for the energy to come
in the age of electricity.
Magnetic tape Time swirling back and forth
a-faster than the eye can see.
And the answers that we sit and hope to find
Are swimming in Our Mercury...
