In their early days the band played the working men's club's, sporting clubs and small halls and club's in and around the Lancashire area eventually moving up to bigger rock venue's such as The Cavern, Liverpool, Oasis Manchester and the Mecca Ballroom circuit.

Decca Records signed the band in early '64 and The Warriors cut their single You Came Along b/w Don't Make Me Blue, the latter being David Foster's first recorded song. They appeared in a feature film called Just For You and made television appearances on ATV'S Thank Your Lucky Stars and BBC'S Juke Box Jury.

This was to be the last incarnation of The Warriors. After touring Europe's Cellar Club's (Top Ten, Hamburg, Storyville Clubs, Cologne and Frankfurt, Carousel Club, Copenhagen etc) they split up in Frankfurt Germany in August '67 shagged out after a long squawk.

"Lucy Leave" (also known as "Lucy Lea in Blue Tights") is one of five songs recorded in early 1965 by an early incarnation of Pink Floyd. The band consisted of Barrett, Klose, Waters, Wright, and Mason. It was written by Syd Barrett in 1965. This song was released in 1996 on a two track mini-CD that came bundled with an Italian, now-withdrawn, 96-page book "A Fish Out of Water" "Lucy Leave", and another song, "Double O Bo", survive as vinyl acetates.
Several other bands have covered the song, including Wellwater Conspiracy and Pink Stainless Tail.

"Remember Me"

"Remember Me" is one of five songs recorded in early 1965 by the original line-up of Pink Floyd. It was written by Barrett in 1965

"Double O Bo"

"Double O Bo" is one of five songs recorded in early 1965 by the original line-up of Pink Floyd. It was written by Barrett in 1965. "Double O Bo", and another song, "Lucy Leave", survive as vinyl acetates.
The song's title describes its influences: "Bo Diddley" meets the 007 theme.

"Walk with Me Sydney"

"Walk with Me Sydney" is a Waters song written in 1965 that took its title from Hank Ballard and the Midnighters' "Work With Me Henry" and was a novelty number.Waters had written it for Barrett and Juliette Gale (Wright's wife) to sing.
It has been believed that the song has never been recorded. However, while revising band's catalogue for Why Pink Floyd...? campaign, the original 1965 demo for the song has been discovered. Mason has confirmed this in an interview with Spinner, noting that it has been found in archives by friend of Wright's, along with other demos.

"I Get Stoned (Stoned Alone)"

"I Get Stoned" is a Barrett song recorded in autumn 1966. The opening lines are thought to be "Living alone/I get stoned". The master tapes for the song are unknown, however under the title "Living Alone", a demo was recorded by Barrett during the sessions for the Barrett album on 27 February 1970.

"Pink Theme"

"Pink Theme" is a song performed by the Barrett-era Pink Floyd in 1966. The song is thought to be an instrumental. Pink Floyd recorded the song at a concert at The All Saints Church Hall in London, England on 14 October 1966. No known recording of this song is thought to still exist.

"Flapdoodle Dealing"

"Flapdoodle Dealing" is an instrumental song performed by the Barrett-era Pink Floyd in 1966. The song is thought to have Waters coming up with the title of the song. Pink Floyd recorded the song at a concert at The All Saints Church Hall in London,  England on 14 October 1966.No known recording of this song is thought to still exist.

"Let's Roll Another One"

"Let's Roll Another One" is a Barrett song, later retitled "Candy and a Currant Bun" before being released in 1967. It was written in 1965. It features the original lyrics which were altered for the released single at the suggestion of Waters, allegedly due to concerns about the acceptability of drug references, and the song can be found on bootlegs like "Feed Your Head".

"She Was a Millionaire"

"She Was a Millionaire" is a Barrett song, recorded at Abbey Road in April 1967. Manager Peter Jenne said that the track was "the one that got away, the hit they were looking for."
The opening lines are thought to be "She was a millionaire/She had some time to spare". The instrumental backing track was completed by Pink Floyd but the master tapes for the song most likely were erased, however elements from the song would later become part of Barrett's solo song "Opel" recorded in 1969. Two takes were attempted at a backing track by Barrett during the sessions for the Barrett album in 1970, before Barrett added vocals.

"Scream Thy Last Scream"

"Scream Thy Last Scream" is a Barrett song and was scheduled to be a single. It was recorded in the same sessions as "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" on 7–8 August 1967. Only two takes are complete.
The song features a number of changes in tempo, a sped-up double-tracked vocal part by Barrett, while Mason simultaneously sings the normal part (one of the rare moments he ever sang on a Floyd record), an instrumental section that continually increases in speed featuring wah-wah guitar solos and keyboards, and surreal lyrics. Barrett is only clearly audible on one line in the song, "she'll be scrubbing bubbles on all fours".
A promotional video was made for the track, directed by poet Spike Hawkins. A final studio cut of "Scream Thy Last Scream" was completed along with a somewhat different BBC radio version (which features both Barrett and Mason on lead vocals) and even some live recordings. All are widely available on bootleg recordings.


"Reaction In G"

"Reaction In G", sometimes referred to (erroneously) as "Stoned Alone", is a song performed by the Barrett-era Pink Floyd in 1967. The song itself was performed as a cynical response to audiences and promoters pressuring Pink Floyd to play their hit singles (such as "Arnold Layne"and "See Emily Play"), rather than the long, free-form jams they preferred at the time. Pressure from EMI to released a third single was high, eventually, on 4 and 5 September, the Floyd reconviend at EMI Studios to record something that could be released as a third single, the band recorded "Reaction In G". Despite having takes 2 & 7 complete, any variation of the song remains unreleased. A BBC studio rendition and a live recording of this song have survived.


Untitled

"Untitled" is a track recorded at Sound Techniques on 4 September 1967. The song is instrumental and the first 90 seconds of the recording is available on various bootlegs. The title "Sunshine" is only used on bootlegs, and the piece itself never had a title.

"One in a Million"

"One in a Million" (also known by the titles "Rush in a Million", "Once in a Million", "Rust in a Million", and "Brush Your Window"), is a song performed by the Barrett-era Pink Floyd in 1967. Pink Floyd recorded the song at a concert in Copenhagen, Denmark on 13 September 1967.


"Vegetable Man"

"Vegetable Man" is a Barrett song that was written specifically as a follow-up single to "See Emily Play" The song was recorded from 9–12 October 1967 during the early sessions for the album which would eventually become A Saucerful of Secrets. Among the songs considered were "Scream Thy Last Scream" and "Jugband Blues.


"In the Beechwoods"

"In the Beechwoods" is a song recorded at De Lane Lea studios in October 1967. The song was written by Barrett in 1967, inspired by a wooded area in Cambridge. The song is an instrumental and is 4 minutes and 47 seconds and has been bootlegged frequently. According to Mason, "In the Beechwoods" was written right after the single, "See Emily Play", came out.


"John Latham"

"John Latham" is a song, recorded at De Lane Lea Studios on 20 October 1967, at the same recording session that produced "Intremental", and "In The Beechwoods".
 

"Intremental"

"Intremental" is an 10 minute instrumental that was recorded at De Lane Lea on 20 October 1967.
 

"Early Morning Henry"

A demo from the "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" sessions, as mentioned in David Parker's book "Random Precision," a guide to the recordings of Barrett. Parker states that he contacted Mason to inquire as to what this song was, but Mason could not remember. The master tape for this song is presumed lost.

"Have You Got It Yet?"

"Have You Got It Yet?" is an unfinished song written by Barrett during the short time in which Pink Floyd was a five-piece. At the time, David Gilmour had been asked to join as a fifth member and second guitarist, while Barrett, whose mental state and difficult nature were creating issues with the band, was intended to remain home and compose songs, much as Brian Wilson had done for The Beach Boys, however this idea soon fell short.
Barrett's unpredictable behaviour at the time and idiosyncratic sense of humour combined to create a song that, initially, seemed like an ordinary Barrett tune. However, as soon as the others attempted to join in and learn the song, Barrett changed the melodies and structure, making it impossible for the others to follow,  while singing the chorus "Have You Got It Yet?" and having the rest of the band answer "No, no!". This would be his last attempt to write material for Pink Floyd before leaving the band In fact, Waters stated, in an interview for The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story, that upon realizing Barrett was deliberately making the tune impossible to learn, he put down his bass guitar, left the room, and never attempted to play with Barrett again. Waters had called it "a real act of mad genius". The song was never recorded by Pink Floyd or Barrett.

Later–era unreleased songs

"Incarceration of a Flower Child"

A Roger Waters song written in 1968, after Barrett left the band, as an attempt to reinvent themselves. The lyrics are about the downfall of Barrett. The song was eventually recorded by Marianne Faithfull on her 1999 album Vagabond Ways. The melody of the opening of the verses provided the chorus of "Your Possible Pasts", from the Pink Floyd album The Final Cut.

"Moonhead"

"Moonhead", sometimes known as "Trip on Mars", is an unreleased song played by the BBC in between broadcast coverage of the Apollo moon landing on 20 July 1969. The BBC called this programme "But what if it's made of green cheese?". The song was written in 1969 for this specific purpose and has never been officially released, although it can be found on various bootleg recordings. It found its way into the band's live set on rare occasion, such as Birmingham Town Hall, 11 Feb 1970 and Gothenburg Sweden, 11 Nov 1970 (the latter performance is often labeled as "Corrosion"). Sometimes seen as a predecessor to one section of the song `Money.

"Seabirds"

"Seabirds" is a song written by Waters for the More soundtrack to the film of the same name. While the song is used in the actual film, during a party scene, it does not appear on the soundtrack album.

"Hollywood"

"Hollywood" is a short instrumental (38 seconds) song written by David Gilmour and recorded in 1969. It was intended to be included in the More soundtrack, although not included on the soundtrack, it can be found on the film.

"Stefan's Tit"

An outtake from the More sessions.

"Paris Bar"

Another More outtake, found on the same multitrack tape as the above track.

"Theme (Dramatic Version)"

Another More outtake, found on the same multitrack tape as the above tracks.

"Theme (Beat Version)"

Yet another More outtake, not found on the auctioned tape but known to exist.

"Alan's Blues"

"Alan's Blues" is an instrumental blues song first recorded for the film Zabriskie Point in December 1969. This version was released as a bonus track on the 1997 soundtrack reissue under the title "Love Scene 6." It began appearing in live shows in early 1970, initially along with a couple other Zabriskie instrumentals (`Heart Beat,Pig Meat` and "The Violent Sequence") that were soon dropped. Performed through 1972, often as an encore. Possibly also recorded in 1971. The song appears on various bootleg recordings (usually live, sometimes given the nickname of "Pink Blues").

"The Violent Sequence"

"The Violent Sequence" was a Richard Wright-penned piano instrumental, originally intended to accompany a riot scene in the film Zabriskie Point. The melody is quickly recognizable, as it would later be used for `US  and Them`, four years later. The song was performed briefly in its original form in early 1970. A snippet was officially released on the "Making of Dark Side of the Moon" DVD. The track finally received an official released on Disc 6 of the The Dark Side of the Moon Immersion Box Set, though it was listed as a demo of "Us and Them".

"Fingal's Cave"

An outtake from the Zabriskie Point sessions, intended to score a scene in which a plane takes off. This track first appeared on the bootleg LP Omay Yad, though for years, fans considered the title to be the bootlegger's invention. Studio documentation has since proven otherwise. The title references a geographical feature.

"Rain in the Country"

An outtake from the Zabriskie Point sessions, based on "The Narrow Way". It is available on bootleg albums such as Omay Yad.

"Take Off, Version II"

Another instrumental, intended for the same Zabriskie Point scene as "Fingal's Cave," which bore the working title of "Take Off, Version I." One tape source from the sessions shows this piece to be a potential intro for "Crumbling Land" – and indeed, some bootlegs pair the two songs together.

"Oenone"

A lengthy instrumental in the Zabriskie Point film, intended for a sex scene. Three takes were recorded (under the working titles "Love Scene No. 1", "No. 2" and "No. 3"), each somewhat different from the others, but all sharing the same eerie organ-and-guitar motif. The term "Oenone" refers to a Greek mythological character, namely the first wife of Paris of Troy. Early bootleg appearances mistitled the song "Oneone".

"Corrosion in the Pink Room"

"Corrosion in the Pink Room" is a song written by Waters, Gilmour, Wright, and Mason. It is an instrumental piece that was played at their live shows during the early 1970s. It is a very avant-garde piece, with eerie piano playing by Wright and scatting by Waters, reminiscent of the sounds on "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Groovin with a Pict". Halfway through, the song transitions to a jazzy blues jam, similar to "Funky Dung". It also was known to feature the "whalesong effect", used during live performances of` `Embryo` and, later on, ´Echoes´. Roger Waters often meddled with their manager Steve O'Rourke while performing, indicated by him calling out "Steven" in this song.

"The Merry Xmas Song"

"The Merry Xmas Song" is a humorous song written for a one-off performance on BBC radio in 1969, during the Zabriskie Point soundtrack sessions. It is notable as the last of only five Pink Floyd songs to feature Mason on vocals (Barrett's "Scream Thy Last Scream", also unreleased; "Corporal Clegg"; "Atom Heart Mother"; and "One of These Days").


"Bitter Love"

Written by Waters, the song is about the bad experience Pink Floyd had after agreeing to appear in magazine advertisements for a bitter lemon drink called "Gini". Lyrically, the song describes Waters selling his soul in the desert. The song is also known as "How Do You Feel?".

"Drift Away Blues"

"Drift Away Blues" is a blues improvisation that was played live on 6 July 1977 as an encore, picked in response to an aggressive audience. Waters introduced the song by telling the audience that "since we can't play any of our songs, here's some music to go home to." Allegedly, Gilmour was upset at this and slipped off the stage rather than play. It appears on the Azimuth Coordinator Part 3 bootleg.


"Overture"

"Overture" is a song that was written by Waters for The Wall movie. Pink Floyd decided not to include the song and it is unknown if it was ever recorded.

"Death Disco"

An unreleased portion of The Wall, in which a DJ is heard to taunt an audience. Some Floyd books mistakenly give the title as "The Death of Disco" or "The Death of Cisco."

"What Shall We Do Now?"

An unreleased song that was supposed to be included in The Wall but was removed due to time restraints and replaced with a much shorter version entitled ´Empty Spaces`. The song was included in the film and was also performed live. A demo was eventually released on The Wall Immersion Box Set, under the name "Backs to the Wall".


"Peace Be with You"

"Peace Be with You", was written by Gilmour, as a farewell to Waters as he left the band. It was recorded during the sessions for A Momentary Lapse of Reason, but was not included on the album because of the lawsuits that were going on at the time between Waters and his formers bandmates. It is said to be one of the better Pink Floyd songs written after Waters left the band, but it was never bootlegged.

Unreleased albums

The Committee soundtrack

At one point, it was considered that a soundtrack LP should be released containing music heard in the obscure science fiction film The Committee, for which Pink Floyd recorded a handful of seemingly untitled instrumentals, and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown contributed the song "Nightmare." Although bootleg soundtracks (both vinyl and CD) have been released by fans, the fact that the total running time of the material merely fills one side of an LP shows that this may not have been a commercially viable idea.

Zabriskie Point soundtrack

In 2011, a documentation was found regarding a scrapped Zabriskie Point soundtrack LP consisting entirely of Pink Floyd's score (much of which was rejected from the final film). The soundtrack was in fact released, but the album would have originally consisted of the following songs, possibly in this order:
  1. "Heart Beat, Pig Meat"
  2. "Country Song"
  3. "Fingal's Cave"
  4. "Crumbling Land"
  5. "Alan's Blues"
  6. "Oenone"
  7. "Rain in the Country" 
  8.  "Come in No. 51, Your Time is Up"

Household Objects

After the success of The Dark Side of the Moon, the band were unsure of their future direction and worried about how they would be able to top that record's huge popularity. In a return to their experimental beginnings, they began work on a project entitled "Household Objects", which would consist of songs played literally on household appliances. Instruments consisted of old hand mixers, rubber bands stretched between two tables, wine glasses, etc., however, the planned album was soon shelved. Two tracks recorded at these sessions, "The Hard Way", and "Wine Glasses", were released on the Pink Floyd reissues in September and November 2011 (The Dark Side of the Moon, and Wish You Were Here Immersions; respectively).

Spare Bricks

Upon release of the film adaptation of The Wall, the group planned to compile an album consisting of both songs newly recorded for the film, and outtakes from the original Wall LP sessions. The original proposed title for this disc was "Spare Bricks," though this was eventually amended to 'The Final Cut'" – and indeed, the label of the"When the Tigers Broke Free' single released at this time claims the track to be from that album. Eventually, Waters decided to reuse the second title for a new concept album, partially based around rewritten Wall rejects. Despite the claim made by the "Tigers" single, that song didnot appear on the album that would finally claim the title of "The Final Cut" – at least until 2004, when Waters decided to permanently incorporate the song into future CD pressings.

The Big Spliff

An album of ambient music recorded during the sessions for The Division Bell. The band seriously considered releasing it,but the idea was abandoned.

Jon Anderson - take your time (1980)

from the album: Song of Seven


Rushing here and there, I'm told to slow down
Just relax, take your time, don't move fast, so fast
Tempers in the air, I'm told to slow down, ease back
By the fire, feel free, feel free
People pushing by and why
I don't mind, take my time, there's no race
Life is fine, life is fine
Come and take my hand and we'll be in a dream
Just relax, there's no rush, take your time
Take your time

Worries on your mind, always try to find happiness
Looking everywhere, life is but a care
Love will come always to you
Rushing here and there, I'm told
To slow down, just relax, take your time, don't move fast so fast
Tempers in the air, I'm told to slow down
Ease back by the fire, feel free, feel free

People pushing by and why
I don't mind, take my time, there's no race
Life is fine, life is fine
Come and take my hand and we'll be in a dream
Just relax, there's no rush, take your time
Take your time

Popgala - 1973 live in Voorburg, the Netherlands


Het Pop-gala dat door de VARA en meerdere muziekcoryfeeĆ«n werd georganiseerd vond plaats in  Sporthal De Vliegermolen te Voorburg op 9 en 10 maart 1973.
Wil Bentvelzen, die als ordedienst medewerker in dienst van Willem Bosman aanwezig was bij dit gala vertelt: “Verschillende personen waren belast met de organisatie van dit gala zoals Harry Knipschild, die producent was en op de Spinozalaan te Voorburg woonde. Willem Bosman die destijds manager was van The Sandy Coast, was verantwoordelijk voor de organisatie in de zaal. Egbert van Hees was de regisseur die belast was met de televisieopname.
Het Pop-gala bevatte een scala aan artiesten waaronder Caz Lux, Living Blues en Super Sister die de Nederlandse bands vertegenwoordigden. Daarnaast waren er behoorlijk wat klapstukken die dit Gala opluisterden. Ry Cooder, Slade, Rod Steward en The Faces, waar Ron Wood toen nog deel vanuit maakte. Verder The Eagles, JJ Cale, Rory Callagher, en Chi Coltrane. Colin Blunstone trad eveneens op, zo ook Rod Argent die na de breuk met Collin en The Zombies zijn eigen band had geformeerd.
Als klapstuk aan het einde van dit gala trad the Who op.
Het muziekspektakel werd uitgevoerd op twee podia die aan weerszijde van de hal waren opgesteld. Roxy Music zou eveneens optreden ware het niet dat Brian Ferry zich afmeldde met een keelaandoening. Ringo Star was gevraagd het gala te presenteren maar vroeg op het laatste moment net zoveel gage als de duurste act (The Who). De organisatie had hier echter geen geld meer voor en heeft toen Willem van Kooten, alias Joost den Draaier, gevraagd of hij de presentatie voor zijn rekening wilde nemen. Op de vraag waarom Stevie Wonder niet is gekomen, kan niemand een antwoord geven.Het gerucht ging dat Stevie Wonder ook was uitgenodigd maar deze zou zich hebben afgemeld i.v.m. een keelaandoening.


Uiteindelijk is het hele Pop-gala op televisie uitgezonden op 16 maart 1973.
Het is spijtig dat het gehele gala van de banden is gewist.


Gelukkig is er toch nog iets aan beeldmateriaal bewaard gebleven.






best of live performances ~ Genesis - twilight alehouse

best of live performances

Genesis - twilight alehouse
live in Belgium, 1972



Is it really true what they're saying
Are you really sure there's nobody come for me
When I'm walking home there is no-one
Once there was a house, full of laughter - so warm
Trying to pretend there is someone
Someone who will care when I need it

I will now receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine
Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling good
Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling fine
Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow
Just a drink to make me feel like a man again
Now I'm down

When I walk outside, there is nowhere
Children follow me, with their laughter - so cold...
Casting just a glance at the churchyard
Casting just a glance, at my painted female friend.

Now I'm on my way, I am falling
Got to find some 'elp, ooh I will need that now

So I will receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine
Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling good
Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling fine
Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow
Just a drink to make me feel like a man again
Now I'm down...

I will now receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine
Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling good
Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling fine
Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow, now...

Colleen


Er hoeft maar een foutje het internet op te sluipen...
en als bijna iedereen kopieert en plakt...

Zo staat er her en der op het web te lezen dat onderstaand nummer van Colleen Lovett zou zijn. Had ik ook zo aangenomen maar nu zag ik dat iemand op Youtube stelde dat dit niet de jaren 60/70 artieste is, maar een artieste met de naam CĆ©cile Schott beter bekend onder de artiestennaam Colleen.
Het nummer werd uitgebracht op haar album The Golden Morning Breaks in 2005.

Grace Slick & Linda Perry - knock me out

  ~~ random best ~~

Grace Slick & Linda Perry - knock me out (1996)

Amazing song from 'Jefferson Airplane' Grace Slick and '4 Non Blondes' Linda Perry.
Soundtrack song from the Movie 'The Crow: City of Angels'.







You knocked me out
You bit my lip
You held me down
And kept me sober
Through all this time
With no regret
I guess that's just the way I liked it
Maybe
When I'm free
I'll realize all I really wanted
To share all the peace
Something that I never wanted
So wait
Don't go
Seems as though
It's getting scary
So please
Don't you go
Wait
Don't you go
You knocked me out
I can never be the same
I pushed you over
And here we will remain
Confusion new
Do you, and nothing's right
Nobody but you has to
Hold on to the fight
Just before you cry
It won't change you
It won't change me
And I don't even wonder why
Don't touch
Feel so much
And life
Yeah we cry
I know
Baby I know
But fate
I'm waking
I feel
I touch
I breathe
I cry
I know this
So wait
Wait
I said please
Smile just before you cry
Don't you go
You knocked me out
I can never be the same
I pushed you over
But here we still remain
You knocked me out
I can never be the same
I can take the fight
But don't
Don't take it away
You knocked me out
You bit my lip
You held me down and kept me sober

David Cassidy - strengthen my love (1977)

from his album: 'Classic Songs'


Dear, come to my side
Strengthen my love
When I feel deprived,
You strengthen my love
Your womanly touch
helps to get me through so much
oh darling, you strengthen my love
Breath, close to the air and
About to give up
Stand by me my friend
Strengthen my love
Speak soft with your eyes,
Help me get my spirits high babe
Oh darling, strengthen my love
You, you strengthen my love
Oh you, you strengthen my love
Here in the dark by your side
I feel warm and full of hope
I can't care, I can't go,
and our love overflows
Love overflows
Hold tight to me now
Feel my heart reaching out
Oh darling, you strengthen my love
Here in the dark by your side
I feel warm and full of hope
I can't care, I can't go,
and our love overflows
Love overflows
You, you strengthen my love
Oh you, you strengthen my love

Jon Anderson - incoming (2010)
from his album: survival & other stories





They come in sacred ways before the sunlight
They come through sacred worlds in stories full of real life
They come in sacred moves that send them flying over you
They come in sacred moves and purpose slowly take like fire like too

With every mountain they invite the sacred song
Within the very lore of being now, now...
So full of wisdom so descend upon this mantra life

They come in sacred moves that turn around and touch you closely
They turn the sacred way the thought is of the first time knowing

So reach out when they are calling
Take the time to even notice they are part of you
For the finding of the secret you can always rediscover it true...

They come in moonlight all the more because they like to
Soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon...

Of all the takes and dances of the bitter stone
Of all the fixes and corruption we are ever to see
How the bridge now delivers, the breaking of man
All ever to the sinner life ever total time

Take a drink from this better life
Take a drink from this better life
Better by far...

They call it seeing of the children's life thirst for love
They call it take away the children's fear of life
Call it 'this time' first time, changing the signs
They call it seeing the children for the very first time
Call it 'that, that river of eternal bliss'
Call it quintessential time
Call it 'everything is light'
Call it this time, this time...

Discovery of the silver moonlight turning too
Discovery of the days of happening through to you
Discovery of the days of happening close to you
Discover all the things are coming coming round
They call it days of wonder
They call it every day is calling calling round

They call it 'children of the diamond life'
For giving us light
Forever changing our design
Forever to be sung
For all we see, for all the savior, they're calling us
Sent us giving love, sent us giving love...

It's coming now, it's coming, it's coming now...
It's coming now, it's coming now...

Save love, save love, given to us,
Save love, save love, given to us
Save love. Save love...

Discovery of the reason of it all
Discovery of the reason of it all

Yeah yeah,
Who do you believe in giving?

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more

Id love to change the world
But I dont know what to do
So Ill leave it up to you

Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, monopoly

Id love to change the world
But I dont know what to do
So Ill leave it up to you

World pollution, theres no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war

Id love to change the world
But I dont know what to do
So Ill leave it up to you

You've got me girl on the run around run around
You've got me all around town
You've got me girl on the run around
And it's getting me down, getting me down
Lady if you want to find a lover
Then you look no further
For I'm gonna be your only
Searching at the start of the season
And my only reason
Is that i´ll get to you
I´ll find some way of connection
Hiding my intention
Then i´ll move up close to you
I´ll use you and i´ll confuse you
And the i´ll lose you
Still you won't suspect me

Led Zeppelin - immigrant song (1970)
compilation vid

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigrant_Song 




Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.
