I'm hitting the road to heading nowhere
Got no place to go I'm stuck inside my generation Round and round I go. I'm sick of the sound of Rolling Thunder Times they were a-changing And Rock'n'Roll died with Easy Rider Tearing up my traces. David Bowie was Hunky Dory Aladdin quite insane Give the sound of Arthur Lee with Forever Changes, I'll remember And more again, don't leave me ever Buddy Holly said, "Baby, please be mine" All the time. I'm cutting out now before the New Wave Takes my surf board flair Remember the time when Zappa said "Punk, where you going with that Flower in your hair?" There's so many who's who's, Rolling Stones, Rod Stewards and Small Faces And Tommy's the King of Pinball flings That chases my generation. David Bowie was Hunky Dory Aladdin quite insane Give the sound of Arthur Lee with Forever Changes, I'll remember And more again, don't leave me ever Buddy Holly said, "Baby, please be mine" All the time. |

John's vision of armageddon literally closes the album with a bang! The references in the lyric to a stained-glass window ("one great wall of coloured parts") and "the multi-coloured cross left standing through it all" add to the apocalyptic feel of the song, which was a live favourite for many years, particularly in the days of the band's concerts with the orchestra.
Lyrics: The eyes of night march slowly by The last grain falls The kneeling man just sighs Protected by the one great wall Of coloured parts He probes his clouded mind If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day With trembling hands he wipes his eyes He tries to stand But does not feel the need The morning sun shines on The multicoloured cross Left standing through it all If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day |

If I had my way I would not be here
Not for one day, my leaving is clear I've had my share of heartache and pain For happiness I'm searching in vain I've got to get rid of my ball and chain For all of my life, the times they've been bad And hard luck and strife, they're all I've ever had I've had my share of heartache and pain For happiness I'm searching in vain I've got to get rid of my ball and chain I've just got to be free God in heaven, help me If I had my way I would not, would not be here No, not for one day, my leaving, my leaving is clear I've had my share of heartache and pain For happiness I'm searching in vain I've got to get rid of my ball and chain Help me!

Came to your border
Looking back into the night Falling down on the city lights far away Tell me the answer Who knows the wrong from the right? Years may come and years they go You've seen your bridges burning And the wheels of time keep turning Like a ship in the night You passed along the highways of my life And now my mind you're always in And the ten-thirty flight will soon be headed my way As she sails across the skyway of Berlin Oh, and to think of all the changes you have seen Oh, and reflect upon the way it might have been Like a ship in the night You passed along the highways of my life And now my mind you're always in And the ten-thirty flight will soon be headed my way As she sails across the skyway of Berlin |

We will survive beyond the grave
And as we sleep we will be saved Life in its essence will endure Whilst still on earth we can be sure All our endeavours surely must return to dust We will survive beyond the grave And as we sleep we will be saved Though storm and tempest ravage all And all is darkness where we fall Like brave Explorers bold and free We sail forever on the sea!! Above the seven seas is one The sea of life we drift upon Our spirits living in the waves Survive beyond the grave! |

When I was just a child
My world it was so small The empty playground swings The corner shop, the penny drinks The backyard walls Of a brave new world And as the years passed by I never thought to try And memorise the dreams The childhood fantasies The backyard walls Of a brave new world Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well the moon is bright and this weather's fine And there's something I've got to say Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well my mama told me and I know she's right That the blackest day's when the nations fight Remember to pray when you go to bed For what mama said Bow your head For a brave new world Now I'm twenty-four My small world's closed the door I feel like I should cry Death's desperation lies on every eye In the brave new world Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well the moon is bright and the weather's fine And there's something I've got to say Hey, Suzanne, won't you come out to play? Well my mama told me and I know she's right That the blackest day's when the nations fight Remember to pray when you go to bed For what mama said Bow your head For a brave new world Now I'm old and grey And life has passed my way My tears have all run dry I've seen men born to kill and born to die For a brave new world For a brave new world It's such an old, old world |

Brother Thrush, how you fly so high
Way up in the clouds The trees resound with open arms for one so rare Brother Man just can't compare When we're sitting on the banks of the sunshine We hear your song High above the living Brother gull, see him soar the sky He's so pleased to be Buoyant and triumphant on the raging sea Backing nature, feeling free Loving nature, rest your head Hear the message, man is dead See the cities fall While Brother Bird still... flies! Brother Lark, see him wake the day See him fly on by Above the streets now empty to his mournful cry Brother Man just heaves a sigh When we're sitting on the banks of the sunshine We hear your song High above the living Yes, we hear your song... |

Running alone in the crazy city
Look at the face of once were pretty People then wonder what happened To make it that way Listen around you, have you heard? Climb on the back of a silver bird London to L.A. before you can think What to say Stop awhile, take a smile Know that you're living in today Up and down, look around No need to hide yourself away Out in the country's where I'm going Back where the tree of life's still growing Take a free ride where the tide Flows the way of your heart Follow the wild dove where he's flying Out where the sun is never crying Wait at the gate or they'll stop you And blow you apart Stop awhile, take a smile Know that you're living in today Up and down, look around No need to hide yourself away |

We've got a story to strike you down About a girl with the light in her eyes Black on the night, drive on the day Let the wheels run dry Sitting here, waiting for the sun Little darling, for you to come By the light of the moon flashing by Black on the night, drive on the day Let the wheels run dry Fly on by silver bird in the sky Fly on day, black on night, roll on by Bring on the sunshine shine in her eyes Fly on by silver bird Sitting here in the early grey Of a Delph town morning, we sit and pray For a sight of the light in her eyes Black on the night, drive on the day Let the wheels run dry Fly on by silver bird in the sky Fly on day, black on night, roll on by Bring on the sunshine shine in her eyes Fly on by silver bird |

Looking like something from out of space we came
Nothing much to look at, but did he complain? He didn't mind us being here to live in peace and grace What we're doing to him now could put us back in space We're thinking like some creatures off the ocean floor Losing sight of what we've really come here for Can I be heard above the sounds of prejudice and hate? Take time to look around before it gets too late It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I'm sorry to be leaving it It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I guess I still, I still believe in it It's a happy old world We're tearing up the rivers and a thousand streams And highways, they're in places where they've never been We're building towers in the sky and racing for the sun Oh Lord, any eye can see what harm we've done I need some help to get myself out of this maze We can both just say goodbye and go our separate ways My mind's not on this song I sing, my heart's not in the lines Guess I'll go and kill myself, so would you kindly close the blinds Oh a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I'm sorry to be leaving it It's a happy old world Give and take a bit That's what you make of it A happy old world But I guess, guess I still believe in it It's a happy old world |

To our fore the harbour lights
Shining out like beacons burning They can stop this endless night They can stop the wheels from turning Faces in a setting sun Say again that we soon will be one Starlight rakes the silver wing Bringing home its sons and daughters No-one knows the state I'm in Spinning swift above the waters Faces in a setting sun Say again that we soon will be one |

1966년 영국에서 결성된 Barclay James Harvest는 1964년
결성된 유명한 Moody Blues를 표방하는 밴드라는 평론가들의 편협한 평가를 받앗지만 그에 대한 반기로 리더인 John Lee가 Moody Blues가 1967년에 발표한 'Nights in White Satin'을 기본 코드만 남겨두고 완전 다른 곡으로 만들어냈는데 그 곡이 Poor Man's Moody Blues다. |

There's a little bit of you and some of me
There's a little bit of everything you see But you don't know why Harry cried There's a time right after love when you feel low Like a bird with perfect wings denied the sky But you don't know why Harry cried Take a look at the common man He can talk with the use of his hands Pass you on by with a smile Like he just don't care Take a look at yourself in the light People see by the look in your eyes Either you're deaf or you're blind Or you just don't care Well something stirred today Young Harry he passed away Someone moves and a leaf falls to the ground Morning comes and he is not around But you don't know why Harry cried Well you pick him up and you put him in your hand And he slips on through like tiny bits of sand But you don't know why Harry cried Take a look at the common man He can talk with the use of his hands Pass you on by with a smile Like he just don't care Take a look at yourself in the light People see by the look in your eyes Either you're deaf or you're blind Or you just don't care Well something stirred today Young Harry he passed away Bye bye |

Their spirits soar on high
They wing with birds that float on by Your love and mine Their spirits with the breeze That gently plays the summer leaves Your love and mine Life is a bird in the sky Life is the breeze blowing by Time picked the words Time picked the songs But we sang them wrong Their spirits with the rain That feeds the wheat and weeds the same Your love and mine The sun their spirits light That feels and warms both black and white Your love and mine Life is the rain from on high Life is the sun in the sky Time picked the words Time picked the songs We were the choir But we sang them wrong Their spirits bless the cruel The intellectual, the fool Your love and mine Their spirits point the way But who has noticed, who will say Your love or mine? Life is a soft lullaby Soothing a child as it cries But it cries in pain Time wrote the songs We hear the cry And still we sing wrong |

In my life I have seen so many things
Some were true and some were not what they seemed In my life I've seen love and I've seen loss There've been times when I did not count the cost I have been to a place where chaos rules In the caves of the talking stoned the fools Seen the stars plant their seeds and watch them grow Just to keep mister reap but never sow In my life I've seen greed and I've seen hate Seen the first to accuse the last to praise Tried so hard to find just one saving grace But I was young did not know Grace is for God Greed is to know Mister middle of the road Reaps what you sow |

I was cast adrift, without a hope My only friend is my old boat With an empty sea and an open sky A void no man can justify THE OLD MAN Your sacrifices will ensure A port of refuge ever more Lost and drowned We'll wait 'til England's found Again THE BOY I was torn between what was good and right And those who told me when to fight So they left me here and they sailed away To sink or swim 'til Judgement Day THE OLD MAN Your sacrifices will ensure A port of refuge ever more Lost and drowned We'll wait 'til England's found Again |

White as paper fly Sound of seagulls crying fills the air High above the lonely one is there Jonathan he cares To feel better Like the passing wind Swooping down again Waitin' for the sun to turn to night Find him miles away in endless flight Longing to be free Telling you and me Give me wings to fly Tell me why, tell me why The answer must be heard And from a lonely bird He's giving us a reason to believe See the painted silver sunlight on his wing As he sails upon the wind and slowly skyward Flying as to music you can hear him sing Like the windsong on the breeze he seems to sigh Give me wings to fly Tell me why, tell me why The answer must be heard And from a lonely bird He's showing us the way we can be free |

The rock on which I stand is slowly sinking in the sand
The sheer realities of life are rushing by I am looking out at life and I don't know what's wrong or right And I can't even see the bright side of the moon I stopped a man in the street today And I asked him "Sir, is it night or day?" He just stared (smiled) in disbelief I asked again but he walked away He said "Don't you know?" I said "Can't you say? Is there something inbetween? Is it something I've not seen? Did it change so fast or was it just a dream?" Time and time again I've tried to recreate the past few days Evaluate the constants from the haze But every time I think I'm right, they say I'm wrong "This day is night and night is day - It's there in black and white" Night is light and dark is day If I disagree they say I'm insane And the treatment will begin If I say that the day is light They just point my eyes to the blinding night, saying "We can't set you free if you always disagree, So the State is going to pay your doctor's fee" They put me out in the pouring rain To enjoy the sun or to feel the pain Of the nightmare life's become I asked a man in the street today Or was it yesterday or the day before? "Is there something I've not seen? Is there something inbetween? Did it change so fast or was it just a dream?" The rock on which I stand is now beneath the ever-flowing sand The sheer realities are here to stay I'm looking out at life and now I know what's wrong and right It's what you hear and what you read and what they say I saw a man in the street today Ask another man "Is it night or day?" He just stared (smiled) in disbelief He said "Friend, it's your lucky day I'm a party man, won't you step this way?" I've got something you've not seen Now I know it's not a dreamIt just came so fast, that something inbetween |

Why it is I just can't say I'm not old enough or wise enough to wonder I don't think about the magic that I'm under Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes You'll find me in the twilight on the mountain When the sun shines on the lake I'm a child of darkness lost among the thunder Where the shafts of moonlight break the sky asunder Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes Oh moonwater, running out like silver from my eyes |

Oh Mother dear
What a night this has been I awoke in the light of a vision in white The prettiest girl that I have ever seen Lately my love, said the lady in white I have watched from afar, but love draws me near Now take my hand, hold tight, Mother dear Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream..... in the night? Mother dear, on that same silver night Saw a figure in black by the lady in white He said his name was death, was he right? Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream..... in the night? Do you know what this could mean, Mother dear? Was it just another dream..... in the night? Mother dear, what a night this has been It's so cold by your side, no don't cry, can't you see? Won't you listen to me please, Mother dear Was it just another dream, Mother dear? |

Need you oh so bad by me
For the sake of pity be The one whose open arms I see Reaching out to me Need you oh so bad You don't want me any more Like a thorn that's in the sore See you around with three or four Oh my teardrops pour Need you oh so bad See the memories appear They'll be gone within a year It's the emptiness I fear Now that you're not here Need you oh so bad Now that you're not here Need you oh so bad |

For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world
Didn't anybody know, didn't anyone suppose That my life up here was slowly drifting by And all I've got to do is sit and cry The Earth is so clear and it's simply a reach away I just had to laugh today but the news it seemed to say That my life once full was surely running dry I prayed a while but then I had to cry Look in my eyes - I know That man is surely just a man It's no surprise - I know The road is far too long And life too short to carry on For fifty-five days I've been flying around the world Here in syncopated time, while my tangled web of rhyme Dangles aimlessly, time drips slowly by And all I've got to do is sit and cry Look in my eyes - I know That man is surely just a man It's no surprise - I know The road is far too long And life too short to carry on |

The world outside my window slowly passes by
As I gaze on the dim glow of the evening sky Where every breath that I take becomes a vapour cloud That wraps itself around me to hide me from the crowd Then like a wall descending Night will the day be ending And it's if as though by magic Everything's become so tragic Become so tragic I turn and look behind me and all the crowd have gone And though they're all around me I feel I am alone The sounds of day have vanished and I find in their place There is an awesome silence, of life there is no trace Then like a wall descending Night will the day be ending And it's if as though by magic Everything's become so tragic Become so tragic The world outside my window slowly passes by As I gaze on the dim glow of the evening sky Where every breath that I take becomes a vapour cloud That wraps itself around me to hide me from the crowd Then like a wall descending Night will the day be ending And it's if as though by magic Everything's become so tragic Become so tragic |

Silver, drifting on high
Deep range star lords Rebel, land of black night Float by your stars Mistress of fear see me towards always Nova bright shine far beyond all time Beings of the fourth kind Night time wanderers Ring worlds timeless in ice Deep inside Gods Mistress of fear see me towards always Secret mood of corridors in hyperspace Nova bright shine far beyond The barriers of night Take me through the laser beams The moving sands of Mars to see Mistress of fear see me towards always Secret mood of corridors in hyperspace Nova bright shine far beyond The barriers of night Take me through the laser beams The moving sands of Mars to see Silver, drifting on high Deep range star lords Rebel, land of black night Float by your stars |

I cannot see you
For the sun is in my eyes I cannot hear you Everything you say just passes by What I'd give for just a smile Instead of drifting at A hundred thousand miles Can you hear me there below? All my lines have gone dead And I'm not very sure Can you hear me there below? 'Cause I'm coming down fast I can't make it alone Oh no no no... I cannot see you For the sun is in my eyes I cannot hear you Everything you say just passes by Here I stay until I'm found Insane in space and my world Is spinning round Can you hear me there below? All my lines have gone dead And I'm not very sure Can you hear me there below? 'Cause I'm coming down fast I can't make it alone |

You took all my money
I gave you no name My love and my money Did you think I would chase it in the rain? My eyes are now open But what do I see? One ride after midnight Had I thought it would mean that much to me? CHORUS: Everybody needs someone to love Everybody needs a friend Everybody needs someone to care Do you think you can make it in the end? Do you think that you can make it, my friend? I thought it was easy But what did I know Of old men and first blood Or the drunk who gets taken blow by blow? The dice are all loaded You pay by the throw But you pay the loser Seems the rain is turning into snow CHORUS We stand round your doorways You hang on the walls Your frames are your windows Put your bodies on the stalls You take all our money We leave you no name We're dealt just the one card But the dealer plays in every game CHORUS |

His crazy frame against the dawn
His hungry leap and ragged fall A suicidal perch is now laid bare To searching eyes and empty stares A fearful silence hits the crowd The air hangs heavy with the sound Of useless wings against the morning sky As paper yields before their eyes Oh, can you see him now? A broken man without a dream Oh, can you hear him now? A futile laugh above the screams |

You can make the day seem right
And make the darkness bright That's what you do Girl, don't hide your love away You'll want it back some day That's what they say And my friend, we're gonna make it right And play to the world tonight We'll play to the world Time, what's to become of me? What will the future see? What will they say? Life is like a passing dream It's never what it seems to be From day to day And my friend, we're gonna make it right And play to the world tonight We'll play to the world And my friend, we're gonna make it right And play to the world tonight We'll play to the world |

I was down on the east side
On a block with no name When I walked in a movie You were blue, I was game Tell me, did you love it, baby? Did you think your smile looked right? Tell me when you came together Was it in your mind 'cause it sure wasn't out of sight Didn't know when I entered Second seat, second row It was then that I saw you But your mouth stole the show Tell me, did you love it, baby? Did you think your smile looked right? Tell me when you came together Was it in your mind 'cause it sure wasn't out of sight Got your name, got your number Got your form on the line I don't know who you're under But I know it ain't mine Tell me, did you love it, baby? Did you think your smile looked right? Tell me when you came together Was it in your mind 'cause it sure wasn't out of sight |

And with the rain
Soft pools of blue White mist like love When you glow so new Must warm to you Just like the snow Falling anew When it's soaked through The snowdrops so few Must warm to you Take my hand, my love Come talk to me Tell me of your walk Through leaves of green Where life was free Tell me of rain In soft pools of blue How white mist like love When you glow so new Must warm to you Tell me of snow Falling anew How when it's soaked through The snowdrops so few Must warm to the love of your heart Warm to the love of your heart And warm to you Take my hand, my love Come talk to me Tell me of your walk Through leaves of green Where life was free Take my hand, my love Come talk to me Tell me of your walk Through leaves of green Where life is free |
