There coming over Charaton Bridge
Look do you see the man who is poor but rich. What do you wish, and where do you go, Who are you, where are you from, Will you tell me your name? Rest awhile, call me your friend. Please stay with me I'd like to help. Then he said, How can I speak when I'm dry and my Throat is burning. So bring me aid And I'll answer your doubts. Friend in need I'd like your help Please take me home I'll stay with you. Then said he fair Pantagruel My name is Panurge and I have come from Hell. Look at my friend Look all around you Look at my friend Take all round you. Hey, Friend ? So brotherhood was made as their bond Carried him home and provide for his needs And his shelter, this day was done As no other the like. Faithfully their vow was made and from That day they were as one. |

Lying still;
Am I dreaming Feel the chill Breath of fear Evil fingers Hover, linger Someone help me Terror fills my soul. Living dead; Am I breathing Sightless, blind Heart stopped beating Hear the crying Of the dying Someone help me Ogres of the night. |

There's a cat prowling through the streets at night
And she's black and her eyes are burning yellow fierce and bright The lights are darkened; Senses sharpened; Wide awake As she acts out her past of Jungle days When the night was her friend in many other different ways It gave protection Of detection By her prey With a sway and swing she walks away And the look in her eye it never seems to say The way she's feeling No revealing, Black Cat Ways |

The moon is down
Casting its shadow over the night-haunted town Mystical figures under the silence of light The trembling air Drifts slowly unseen over the houses there And echoes changing into the voices of night On the edge of twilight whispering Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper, On the edge of twilight whispering Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper Elusive time In limbo active in never ending mime The edge of twilight into the darkness of day |

Once I was a boy, an innocent to life and my role in it,
This world played my game, and anyone a clown or foil for myself The harmless affairs, and no-one seemed to care for any meaning My life was my own, The debt I paid, I paid it only to myself The unseeing youth, how can it be so shallow and short- sighted These years passed me by, to realise the folly of these unripe years Now I am a man, I realise My unworldly sins pained many lives Yet I heard, heard with ears that wouldn't listen And still I watched and I saw with blinkered eyes But with age the conscience slowly dawns and bonds of duty gently tied All my sins, seen through now there is experience and recollecting act in virgin guise. Master inner voices, making the choices Once I could rebel and consequences then had no reflection And I am a man, And I am bound by adult age discretion now |

I'm sorry to have been so much of a bore
But in my own funny way I find I learn much more. I realise what you think from your eyes, But in your own funny way I find I learn much more. My ways are strange They'll never change They stay, strange ways I'm sorry to have been so close from the start, But for all that I cared we could be miles apart. I understood that you never would Understand a way of life that I never could. My ways are strange They'll never change They stay, strange ways Go your own way or wait for me Go your own way or wait for me Go your own way or wait for me Go your own way or wait for me And so you see what happened to me Since the time when I judged my life in nights and days I realised that my life was lies So you see what I mean with all my funny ways. I'm sorry to have been so much of a bore But in my own funny way I find I learn much more Funny ways, Funny ways, Funny ways, Funny ways. |

The birth of a realisation;
The rise of a high expectation; Emerging successful, defiant; [Editor's note: Derek may be singing "Together" instead of "Emerging"] Together the parts make a Giant. See the world in the palm of his hand, Striding steps that will cover the land. He is coming; Hear him coming; Are you ready For his being? See the Giant Feel the Giant Touch the Giant Hear the Giant. The birth of a realisation; The rise of a high expectation; Emerging successful, defiant; Together the parts make a Giant. |

Isn't it quiet and cold walking all alone, alone?
Happened I missed the bus and found I had to walk, alone. What was that? Only me. Hear the echo of my feet Footsteps Are they mine? Hear the echo of the street. Wished I lived near at hand although I live alone, alone At least I'll find company, so why should I moan, alone. Movement By my feet Paper wind across the street Curtains closed Sleepy heads Wrapped together in their beds I used to walk with someone else I didn't seem to notice sights and sounds of the lonely street I used to talk with someone else Now the only answers are the calls of the night Look at that alley cat, it's winding home to rest, alone Half-past four and daylight shows itself once more Walking all alone Walking all alone |

Now she sits by the riverside
Watching the waters glide by, With a sigh And the things she put faith in Are ripples just waving her by With a sigh She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss Ah this - little girl who had everything finds she's nothing at all Now the wind seems so cold Seems all old as it laughs at her fears And her tears And as ducks swim away from her Visions of past love appear In her tears She sees love in his face as she tells him to go, And so - here's a girl who had everything now she's Nothing at all What could she do if she saw him now; Now that he's gone she's losing If she could see what she's seeing now For sure she's more than just choosing Now she sits by the riverside Watching the waters glide by, With a sigh And the things she put faith in Are ripples just waving her by, With a sigh She sees lovers pass by with much more than a kiss Ah this - little girl who had everything finds She's nothing at all |

How can I laugh or cry
When my mind is sorely torn? Badabec had to die Fair Pantagruel is born Shall I weep, yes, for why? Then laugh and show my scorn Born with a strength untold Foreseen to have great age Set in Gargantuan mould, Joyful laugh, yet quick to rage Princely wisdom, habits bold; Power, glory, lauded sage Pantagruel born -- the earth was dry and burning In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him Pantagruel born -- the earth was dry and burning In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him. Pantagruel born -- the earth was dry and burning In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him How can I laugh or cry When my mind is sorely torn? Badabec had to die; Fair Pantagruel is born Shall I weep, yes, for why? Then laugh and show my scorn. |

Why do you question
When there's no answer told? Plain truth is nothing You can't buy it when it's sold Save all your money And they won't reason why Why all the worry? They'll spend it when you die Chorus: Don't look for something Plain truth is nothing, nothing but the plain truth You stand and wonder Just let it warm your skin Take all the living Live life and let it win Plain truth means nothing Cry, laugh and cry again You question answers Born, live and die, Amen Chorus: Don't look for something Plain truth is nothing, nothing but the plain truth [Repeat first and second verse and chorus] |

I won't tell nobody A place to meet where no-one can tell you what to do I won't tell nobody Here, Awake in sleep Together My time is spent in chains and confusion in my head I don't tell nobody I keep my pains and swallow the harsh tears that I shed I don't tell nobody Here, In reverie Together I find escape in the street, in the house, in the room I become somebody I cast my die and leave all my troubles in the room I become somebody Here, Awake in sleep Together |

And the horse riding up through the red skies
The moon is down With a gold coloured bird through the cloud flies The moon is down Look East to the Sun, Oh where do they run Look East to the Sun, Oh where do they run They live in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams And the Moon and the Earth they were mating The moon is down And the Angels of hell they were waiting The moon is down Oh bride of the winds, Reward for their sins Oh bride of the winds, Reward for their sins They live in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams There's a chaos of visions and voices Sad is the laugh of the clown now the old moon is down. |

He is the runaway
Lie low the wanted man Mask his elusive face Soon he will getaway And free is his future No more aimless time to spend And evading, he's escaping Four dirty walls and a bed in a cage his home no more. Run in the underwood Cover and hide the trail Senses like sharpened sword Guards for the shadow on his tail. And yet his joy is empty and sad. All thoughts are scarred with the prison cell And freedom seems like freedom's hell Hopes stained with strange regret His dreams are dreams for that he cannot get. And yet his joy is empty and sad. Lose all identity Vanish in own denial Seeks only lies and hide Truth never brought to trial. And caught in his own net He looks to find endless life And evading, he's escaping Four dirty walls and a bed in a cage his home no more. Run in the underwood Cover and hide the trail Senses like sharpened sword Guards for the shadow on his tail. |

Don't sing a tune to yourself
You might believe this one. Try not to sew it yourself The threading won't stretch none. Don't give me none of that line. Why not? Got to sing something. Love's song there's nothing to find Why not? Dead before playing. Don't sing a tune to yourself You might believe this one Try not to sew it yourself The threading won't stretch none Who says the things that go in The song is only saying. Dead thought can kill a good thing The band is only playing. Why not climb a hill With someone that hates you Why not hate someone Who climbs a hill with you And as time passes by Your feet start slipping You are wondering why There is no forgetting Don't sing a tune to yourself, You might believe this one Try not to sew it yourself The threading don't stretch none Who says the things that go in The song is only saying Dead thought can kill a good thing The band is only playing Don't give me none of that line Why not? Got to sing something Love's song there's nothing to find Why not? Dead before playing Dead before playing. |

from Gentle Giant - Acquiring The Taste (1971)
The ship's rising up from the sea to the sky heyeheh Hold on
Just one sorry scream and a desperate cry heyeheh Hold on Their lives pass before them before they die heyeheh -- The sea yawns around like a boiling hell heyeheh hold on And souls disappear with the toll of that bell heyeheh hold on The arms of the sea they are dragging them down heyeheh hold on And sorrows and sins they are lost as they drown heyeheh -- How strange when you think that the sea was their way; And a meaningless death is the price they pay For their living was made from the deep To their people in comfort and keep Keep all their people and places there Never to be seen again, never to be loved and their last embrace -- And the kiss has a salt bitter taste Now all that remains is the deep cruel sea heyeheh hold on And wreckage of things that used to be heyeheh hold on No stone marks the place of that watery grave heyeheh hold on Together they die both the weak and the brave heyeheh hold on The arms of the sea.... etc. |
