2. UP FROM THE SKIES

I just want to talk to you
I won't uh, do you no harm
I just want to know about your diff'rent lives
On this is here people farm
I heard some of you got your families
Living in cages tall and cold
And some just stay there and dust away
Past the age of old.
Is this true ?
Please let me talk to you.

I just wanna know about
The rooms behind your minds
Uh do I see a vacuum there
Or am I going blind ?
Or is it just uh, remains of vibrations
And echoes long ago ?
Uh things like "Love the world" and uh
Uh "Let your fancy flow"
Is this true ?
Please let me talk to you
Let me talk to you.

I have lived here before
The days of ice
And of course this is why
I'm so concerned
And I come back to find
The stars misplaced
And the smell of a world
That is burned
A smell of a world
That is burned.

Yeah well, maybe, hmm...
Maybe it's just a... change of climate
Hmm, hmm...
Well I can dig it
I can dig it baby
I just want to see.

So where do I purchase my ticket ?
I'd just like to have a ringside seat
I want to know about the new Mother Earth
I want to hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything
Yeah...

Aww, shucks
If my daddy could see me now
Everything, everything, everything, oh everything.


3. SPANISH CASTLE MAGIC

It's very far away

4. WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW

Well I'm standing here freezing
Inside your golden garden
Got my ladder leaned up against your wall
Tonight's the night we planed to run away together
Come on dolly may there's no time to stall
But now you're telling me that a
I think we better wait 'till tomorrow

Ain't gone wait that long
I think we better wait 'till tomorrow

Got to make sure it's right
So untill tomorrow goodnight
Oh what a drag

Oh dolly may, how can you hang we out this way
On the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today
Now I'm sanding here like some
Turned down serendading fool
Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed-up mind of you
And you keep telling me that ah
I think we better wait till tomorrow,
What ya say
I think we better wait till tomorrow
I ain't gonna wait that long
I think we better wait till tomorrow

Got to make sure it's right
So untill tomorrow goodnight
See if I can talk to this girl a little bit

Hey dolly may girl you must be insane
So unsure of yourself
Leaning from you unsure window pane
Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing
Something from a tree
Click bang
Oh what a hang your daddy just shot poor me
And I hear you say as I fade away

We don't have to wait till tomorrow
Well I gues we don't have till tommorrow
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
That sure is a drag on my part baby
We don't have to wait till tomorrow

5. AIN'T NO TELLING

Well there ain't no hu

When you will see again
But I pray it will be tomorrow.

Well the sunrise
Is burnin' my eyes baby
Well now I must leave now
But I really hope to see you tomorrow.

Yeah Well my house is oh, such a million miles away
The feelin' there always hangs up my day
Oh Cleopatra, she's driving me insane
She's tryin' to put my body in her brain
So uh, just uh, kiss me goodbye, just to ease the pain.

Sing it, hah, sing it, hah !

Anyway, must leave now.


6. LITTLE WING

Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me,
Anything.

Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing


7. IF 6 WAS 9

(Yeah)
(Sing a song, brother)
If the sun refused to shine,
I don't mind, I don't mind.
(Yeah)
If the mountains fell in the sea,
Let it be, it ain't me.
Got my own world to live through
And I ain't gonna copy you.

Now, if 6 turned up to be 9,
I don't mind, I don't mind.
If all the hippies cut off their hair,
I don't care, I don't care.
Did, 'cos I got my own world to live through
And I ain't gonna copy you.

White-collar conservatives flashing down the street
Pointing their plastic finger at me.
They're hoping soon my kind will drop and die,
But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high . . . HIGH!

Hah, hah
Falling mountains just don't fall on me
Point on mister Buisnessman,
You can't dress like me.
Nobody know what I'm talking about
I've got my own life to live
I'm the one that's gonna have to die
When it's time for me to die
So let me live my life the way I want to.

Yeah . . .
Sing on brother,
Play on brother . . .


8. YOU GOT ME FLOATING

Well you got me floatin' round and round
Always up you never let me down
The amazing thing you turn me on naturally
And I kiss you when I please

You got me floatin' round and round

Hey
You got me floatin' never down
Touch the ceiling
You got me floatin' naturally
You got me floatin' float to please

Now you got me floatin' across and through
You make me float right on up to you
There's only one thing I need to really get me there
Is to hear you laugh with out a care
What I say now

You got me floatin' round and round
You got me floatin' never down
You got me floatin' naturally
You got me floatin' float to please

You got me floatin'

You got me floatin' round and round
You got me floatin' never down
You got me floatin' naturally
You got me floatin' float to please

Now your daddy's cool and your mamma's no fool
They both know I'm heads over heels for you
And when the day melts down into a sleepy red glow
That's when my desires start to show

You got me floatin'
Hey hey
You got me floatin'
Just you style
You got me floatin'
You got me floatin'
Hey hey
You got me floatin'


9. CASTLES MADE OF SAND

Down the street you can hear her scream
"You're a disgrace"
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool

He cries "oh girl, you must be mad
What happened to the sweet love you and me had"
Against the door he leans and starts a scene
And his tears fall and burn the garden green

And so castles made of sand,
Fall in the sea eventually

A little Indian brave who before he was ten
Flayed war games in the woods with his Indian friends
And he built a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fearless warrior Indian chief

Many moons passed and the dream grew strong until tomorrow
He would sing his first war song
And fight his first battle but something went wrong
Surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

And so castles made of sand,
Fall in the sea eventually

There was a young girl whose heart was a frown
Because she was crippled for life and couldn't speak a sound
Ans she wished and prayed she would stop living
So she decided to die
She drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore
And to her legs she smiled
"You won't hurt me no more"
But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say
"Look a golden winged ship is passing my way"
And it really didn't have to stop
It just kept on going

And so castles made of sand
Slips into the sea eventually


10. SHE'S SO FINE

She walks with a bell-clock round her neck,
So the hippies think she's in with time
Time...
Her hair glistens like robins on a deck
Branches attack me from her neck
She's so fine,
She's so very, very fine.

The sun from a cloud sinks into her eyes,
The rain from a tree soaks into her mind
Mind...
Morning sign sounds just like a lark,
All these signs are always a start.
She's so fine,
She's so very, very fine.

When I veer I get so near,
But so far far far away,
Listen to me today.

We united just beside a leaf,
The ground was hard underneath, her, her.

She's so fine.


11. ONE RAINY WISH

Golden rose, the colour of the dream I had,
Not too long ago,
A misty blue and the lilac too,
A never to grow old.

A there you were under the tree of song
Sleeping so peacefully
In your hand a flower played
A waiting there for me.

I have never
Laid eyes on you
Not like a before
This timeless day
A but you walked and ya ha
Once smiled my name
And you stole
My heart away
A stole my heart away little girl, yeah
All right !

Golden rose, the colour of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and lilac too
A never to grow old.

Golden rose, the colour of the dream I had
Misty blue and lilac too
Golden rose, the colour of the dream I had
Misty blue and lilac too
Gold and rose, gold are rose, gold and rose.

It's only a dream
I'd love to tell somebody about this dream
The sky was filled with a thousand stars
While the sun kissed the mountains blue
And eleven moons played across rainbows
Above me and you.
Gold and rose the colour of the velvet walls surround us.


12. LITTLE MISS LOVER

Little miss lover,
Where have you been in this world for so long
Well, I love a lover that feels like you
Would you like to tag alone?

Well I really don't need any help little girl
But I believe you could help me out anyway
Ah sack it to me
Would you believe babe I've been looking for a sole
That feels like you
For some time

Excuse me while I see
If the gypsy in me is right
If you don't mind
Well he signals me OK
So I think It's safe to say
I'm gonna make a play
Ah yeah
See me walk towards you baby
Ah give me some
Oh get into it

Hey hey little miss lover
Well now, there's so much you and me can discover
And I think we should start, we should start right now, baby
Hey little miss lover
Ah little miss lover
Yeah little miss lover
Ah baby
Ah look at me baby
Little miss lover
Hey baby
Hey!


13. BOLD AS LOVE

Anger he smiles tow'ring shiny metallic purple armour.
Queen jealousy, envy waits behind him.
Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground.
Blue are the life giving waters taking for granted,
They quietly understand.

Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
But wonder why the fight is on.
But they're all, bold as love.
Yeah, they're all bold as love.
Yeah, they're all bold as love.
Just ask the Axis.

My red is so confident he flashes trophies of war
And ribbons of euphoria.
Orange is young, full of daring but very unsteady for the first go 'round.
My yellow in this case is no so mellow.
In fact I'm trying to say it's frightened like me.
And all of these emotions of mine keep holding me
From giving my life to a rainbow like you.
But I'm a yeah, I'm bold as love,
Yeah yeah.

Well, I'm bold, bold as love.
Hear me talkin', girl.
I'm bold as love.
Just ask the Axis.
He knows everything. Yeah, yeah
