Steppin' In A Slide Zone
(John Lodge)
I took a ride in a limousine
I took a road I'd never been
I met a stranger by the way
His coat was torn but his eyes were clear
Standing in a slide zone
Steppin' in a slide zone
He told me where the river flows
He showed me how the apple grows
He told me of a magic stream
His face was worn but his eyes were clear
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone
He went to find a shooting star
Around the bend that's where they are
I went along just for the ride
Suddenly I began to slide
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone
The air raced by there was no sound
We drifted high above the ground
And then he said, "You know this place"
And then a smile lit up his face
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' in a slide zone
Standing in a slide zone
I could be steppin' through a time zone
I turned my head and looked below
And there was something that I know
Suddenly I began to fall
I looked around and tried to call
Standing in a slide zone
He had me steppin' in a time zone
Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone
"Help me please!" I thought I said
Then something happened in my head
Music came from all around
And I knew what I had found
Standing in a slide zone
Falling through a time zone
Steppin' in a slide zone
He had me falling through a time zone
Under Moonshine
(Ray Thomas)
The dawn crept into my room
And stole my dream
Now I'll never know
Just what it means
Or what could have been
Yet still I try to lie
But I'm seen
Under moonshine
That's where I've been
Under moonshine
I'm clearly seen
Under moonshine
That's where I've been
Under moonshine
I'm clearly seen
Creator of dreams
That melt with the sun
I'll tell you the things
This man has done
He was a saint
And sinner rolled in one
But I miss now that he's gone
I said I sure miss him
Now that he's gone
Sure I feel the pain
Deep inside I pour like rain
Remember when you smile
Love's in your eyes
[Melt with the sun]
[This man has done]
[Rolled into one]
[Now that he's gone]
[Now that he's gone]
The world keeps turning
The grass still grows green
The fruit on my tree is the
Biggest you've ever seen
But which way's up?
You know when you're down
You've gotta stand tall
With your feet on the ground
You must stand tall
With your feet on the ground
Or maybe I'm crazy
And also they say I'm lazy
But I'll have my days
When I do as I please
For you won't see the woods
While you're a tree
No you'll never see the woods
While you're a tree
Yes I'm crazy
Also they say I'm lazy
But I'll have my days
When I do as I please
You won't see the woods
While you're a tree
No you'll never see the woods
While you're a tree
[Grass still grows green]
[Biggest you've seen]
[Know when you're down]
[Feet on the ground]
[Feet on the ground]
[The dawn]
[Crept into my room and stole my dream]
[Now I'll never know]
[What it means]
[Under moonshine]
[Under moonshine]
[The dawn]
[Crept into my room and stole my dream]
[Now I'll never know]
[What it means]
[Under moonshine]
[Under moonshine]
Had To Fall In Love
(Justin Hayward)
What mattered to me
Was the right to be free
Like I'll be, someday
I'm waiting for my heart to lead the way
The places I've seen
And the road in between
Make me wonder why
I'm searching for my dreams up in the sky
I heard the call
And in the mirror
I saw the writing on the wall
And I had to fall
In love with you
The face that I've known
Seems so lost and alone
When you're far away
I'm comin' for you, baby, right away
The places I've seen
And the roads in between
Make me wonder why
I'm searching for my dreams up in the sky
I heard the call
And in the mirror
I saw the writing on the wall
And I had to fall
In love with you
What mattered to me
Was the right to be free
Like I'll be someday
I'm waiting for my heart
To lead the way
I'll Be Level With You
(Graeme Edge)
Little guy
Little hands
Little eyes
And lots of time
Whatcha gonna be
What you gonna see
When your eyes are level with mine?
I'll be level with you
I don't know what I would do
If I had to face the things
That you've got coming down the line
If I had to face the things
That you've got coming down the line
Lots of luck
Lots of health
Lots of wealth
And little pain
That's what I want for you
But there's little I can do
To put you on the gravy train
I'll be level with you
You'll always end up coming through
But you'll find yourself
Lost in space now and again
But you'll find yourself
Lost in space now and again
But you have to have a world you can live in
Not a world where all the hope is gone
And as long as we are here together
We'll try to build a home for the free
Filled with pity
Not pain
That's loving and sane
Not divided by hate
And living in spite
'Til it's too late
Life is here
Love will come
In the end
Give it time
There's wonders still to do
And I know you'll find it's true
That yours will be bigger than mine
I'll be level with you
The one thing I hope you will do
Is tell me about what you're doing
From time to time
Tell me 'bout what you're doing
From time to time
Driftwood
(Justin Hayward)
Just like the driftwood of a dream
Left on the seashore of sleep
Just like the words that wouldn't rhyme
Lost in the desert of time
Time waits for no one at all
No, not even you
You thought you'd seen it all before
You really thought you knew
I don't remember what was said
In the confusion that night
I only know what's on my mind
What's in the future we will decide
Time waits for no one at all
No, not even you
You thought you'd seen it all before
You really thought you knew
I've shattered the illusion
Of fortune and of fame
But darling, now I know you
Life could never be the same
Oh no, don't leave me driftwood
On the shore
Time waits for no one, my love
No, not even you
You thought you'd seen it all before
You really thought you knew
I've shattered the illusion
Of fortune and of fame
I'm waking up
I'm reaching up
I'm getting up from this game
Oh no, don't leave me driftwood
On the shore
No, don't, don't leave me driftwood
On the shore

Top Rank Suite
(Justin Hayward)
Rain on the river
Turns the torrent to a flood
Swim or you'll never rise above
Two lonely people
Can mend a broken heart
Love and you'll never fall apart
But can you tell me why?
They made a good bowl of chili at the jazz club
They played a good game of football in Mucron
They got everyone off at the Top Rank babe
If you could ever get into their suite
Avenue Tombola and Social
We just drove right on by
We was on our way to the big time, baby
To the great gold record in the sky
Sun in the morning
Brings the flowers from a bud
Hail to the giver
Of life and love
Two lonely people
Can mend a broken heart
Love you'll never fall apart
But can you tell me why?
They made a good bowl of chili at the jazz club

To the great gold record in the sky

I'm Your Man
(Ray Thomas)
Here I go again
Finding it so hard to explain
The way I feel when I hold you near
Still it hurts when you cry
Maybe you think love has passed you by
Don't you know I need you so?
But I guess you need to know
I'm just a man, that's all I am
I'm just a man, that's yours
I'm yours, you know I'm yours
Life keeps changing key
I'll look to you please look back at me
See I'm changing every day
Reaching out for happy days
But I'm just a man that's all I am
I'm just a man I'm yours
I'm simply yours
Life keeps changing key
I'll look to you please turn and look at me
You'll see I'm changing every day
In my search for happy days
But then I'm just a man
That's all I am
I'm just a man I'm yours
That's yours, simply yours
See me as I am, for I'm just a man
I'm just a man but I'm yours
Oh I'm yours I'm simply yours
Survival
(John Lodge)
Shadows of night
Falling over my head
People walking
Passing me by
Shadows of dreams
Falling out of the blue
People talkin'
What can I do?
Where do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?
I could give you any dream and watch it grow
I could take you for a ride but you would know?
I could tell you every answer that I know
It wouldn't be much though
It wouldn't be anything you didn't know
But survival
Nothing more than survival
Survival
Nothing more than survival
Shadows of days
Hanging endless in time
Slowly fading
Passing us by
Shadows of worlds
Disappearing from view
People asking
What could we do?
Where do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?
If I gave you every dream, would they grow?
If I took you for a ride, would you know?
If I told you every answer that I know
It wouldn't be much though
It wouldn't be anything you didn't know
But survival
Nothing more
Than survival
Survival
With nothing more
Than survival
Survival
Nothing more
Than survival
Survival
With nothing more
Than survival
Survival
With nothing more
Than survival
Survival
With nothing more
Than survival
Survival
With nothing more
Than survival
Survival
With nothing more
Than survival
Survival
With nothing more
Than survival
Survival
With nothing more
Than survival
[In your love I have all]
[That I need for survival]
[With your love]
[I have all that I need for Survival]
[With your love]
[I have all that I need for Survival]
[With your love]
[I have all that I need for Survival]
[With your love]
[I have all that I need for Survival]
One Step Into The Light
(Mike Pinder)
One step into the light
One step away from night
It's the hardest step you're gonna take
The ship to take you there
Is waiting at the head
Of the stairs that lead up through your opening mind
Above the dark despair
Shines a light that we can share
Close your eyes and look up in between your brows
Then slowly breathing in
Feel the life force streaming in
Hold it there, then send it back to him
All the old things are returning
Cosmic circles ever turning
All the truth we've been yearning for
Life is our saviour
Saviour
Save your
Save your soul
The river of living breath
Is flowing through the sun
He was there before the earth began
The world will drag on you
Use his love to pull you through
Find the mission of your life
And start to be
All the old things are returning
Cosmic circles ever turning
All the truth we've been yearning for
Life is our saviour
Saviour
Save your
Save your soul
There's one thing I can do
Play my Mellotron for you
Try to blow away your city blues
Your dreams are not unfound
Get your feet back on the ground
The truth will set us free, we cannot lose
We cannot love, we just have to choose
The Day We Meet Again
(Justin Hayward)
The day we meet again
I'll be waiting there
I'll be waiting there for you
'Cause the years have been so lonely
Like a dog without a home
It's dangerous when you find out
You've been drinking on your own
The day we meet again
We will walk in peace
Through the garden down the road
Where the mist of time is lifting
See it rising in the air
Like the shadow I was chasing
When I looked it wasn't there
Oh, no
But just in case you're wondering
What was really on my mind
It wasn't what you took my love
It's what you left behind
And just in case you're wondering
Will it really be the same?
You know we're only living for
The day me meet again
So hold on
And don't let go
Time heals
You know, I know
The day we meet again
I'll be waiting there
I'll be waiting there for you
'Cause the years have been so lonely
Like a dog without a home
It's dangerous when you find out
You've been drinking on your own
The day we meet again
We will walk in peace
Through the garden down the road
Where the mist of time is lifting
See it rising in the air
Like the shadow I was chasing
When I looked it wasn't there
Hold on baby, don't let go
