Five tracks on this album
are the individual ideas, personally arranged & organised, by the five members of the
Band. "Cans and Brahms"is an adaptation by Rick Wakeman on which he plays
electric piano taking the part of the strings, grand piano electric harpsichord taking
reeds, and synthesizer taking contra bassoon. "We have Heaven" is a personal idea by
Jon Anderson in which he sings all the vocal parts."Five Per Cent for Nothing" is a
sixteen bar tune by Bill Bruford, played twice by the Group, and taken directly from
the percussion line. In Chris Squire’s "The Fish", each riff, rhythm and melody is
produced by using the different sounds of the bass guitar. Steve Howe concludes with
a solo guitar piece "Mood for a Day". The remaining tracks on the album are
Group arranged and performed.
Roundabout
I'll be the round about
the words will make
you out 'n' out
you change the day your way
call it morning driving
thru the sound and in and out the valley
The music dance and sing
they make the children really ring
I spend the day your way
call it
morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley
In and around
the lake
mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
one mile
over we'll be there and we'll see you
ten true summers we'll be there and
laughing too
twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with
you
I will remember you
your silhouette will charge the view
of distance atmosphere
call it morning driving thru the sound and even in the
valley
Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land
catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land
the eagles
dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand
go closer hold the land feel
partly no more than grains of sand
we stand to lose all time a thousand
answers by in our hand
next to your deeper fears we stand
surrounded by a millions years
Cans and Brahms
(Instrumental)
We Have Heaven
Tell the Moon-dog, tell the March-Hare
Tell the
Moon-dog, tell the March-Hare
We...have...heaven
To Look around, to
look around
Yes, he is here; Yes, he is here
South Side Of The Sky
A river a mountain to be
crossed
the sunshine in mountains sometimes lost
around the south
side so cold that we cried
were we ever colder on that day a million miles
away
it seemed from all of eternity
Move forward was my friends
only cry
in deeper to somewhere we could lie
and rest for the day with
cold in the way
were we ever colder on that day a million miles away
it
seemed from all of eternity
The moments seemed lost in all the
noise
a snow storm a stimulating voice
of warmth of the sky of warmth
when you die
were we ever warmer on that day a million miles away
we seemed for all of eternity
The sunshine in mountains sometimes
lost
the river can disregard the cost
and melt in the sky warmth when
you die
were we ever warmer on that day a million miles away
we
seemed from all of eternity
Five Per Cent For Nothing (Instrumental)
Long Distance Runaround
Long distance run around
long time
waiting to feel the sound
I still remember the dream there
I still
remember the time you said goodbye
did we really tell lies
letting in
the sunshine
did we really count to one hundred
Cold summer
listening
hot colour melting the anger to stone
I still remember the dream there
I still remember the time
you said goodbye
did we really tell lies
did we really count to one
hundred
looking for the sunshine
The Fish (Shindleria Praematurus) (Instrumental)
Mood For A Day (Instrumental)
Heart Of The Sunrise
Love comes to you and you follow
Lose one on to the Heart of the Sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can
the wind with its arms all around me
Lost on a wave and then after
Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise
SHARP-DISANCE
How can
the wind with so many around me
lost in the city
Lost in their eyes
as you hurry by
Counting the broken ties they decide
Love comes to
you and then after
Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with its arms all around me
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with so many around me
I feel
lost in the city
Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting the
broken ties they decided
Straight light moving and removing
SHARPNESS of the colour sun shine
Straight light searching all the meanings
of the song
Long last treatment of the telling that relates to all the
words sung
Dreamer easy in the chair that really fits you
Love
comes to you and then after
Dream on on to the Heart of the Sunrise
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the sun with its arms all around me
SHARP-DISTANCE
How can the wind with so many around me
I feel
lost in the city
