Isn't Life
Strange?
(John Lodge)
Isn't life strange
A turn of the page
Can read like before
Can we ask for more?
Each day passes by
How hard will man try?
The sea will not wait
CHORUS
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry-
Wished I could be in your heart
To be one with your love
Wished I could be in your eyes
Looking back there you were, and here we are.
Isn't life strange
A word we arrange
With no thought or care
Maker of despair
Each breath that we breathe
With love me must weave
To make us as one
CHORUS
Isn't life strange
A turn of a page
A book without light
Unless with love we write;
To throw it away
To lose just a day
The quicksand of time
CHORUS
One More Time to Live
(John Lodge))
Look out of my window
See the world passing by
See the look in her eye
One more time to live and I have made it mine
Leave the wise to write for they write worldy rhymes
and he who wants to fight begins the end of time
For I have riches more than these
For I have riches more than these
Desolation
Creation (Tell me someone why there's only confusion)
Evolution (Tell me someone that this is all an illusion)
Pollution (Tell me someone)
Saturation (Tell me someone)
Population
Annihilation
Revolution (Tell me someone why this talk of revolution)
confusion (Tell me someone when we're changing evolution)
Illusion (Tell me someone)
Conclusion (Tell me someone)
Starvation
Degredation
Humiliation
Contemplation (Changes in my life)
Inspiration
Elation (Changes in my life)
Salvation (Changes in my life)
Communication
Compassion
Solution
Look out on the hedgerow
As the world rushes by
Hear the birds sing such
One more tree will fall how strong the growing vine
Turn the earth to sand and still commit no crime
How one thought will live provide the others die
For I have riches more than these
For I have riches more than these
Have You Heard? (Parts I and II)
(Mike Pinder)
Now you know that you are real,
Show your friends that you and me
Belong to the same world,
Turned on to the same word,
Have you heard?
Now you know that you are free
Living all your life at ease.
Each day has its always,
A look down life's hallways, doorways,
To lead you there.
Now you know how nice it feels,
Scatter good seed in the fields.
Life's ours for the making,
Eternity's waiting, waiting,
For you and me.
Now you know that you are real,
Show your friends that you and me
Belong to the same world,
Turned on to the same word,
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?
Have you heard?

The
Night: Nights In White Satin
(Justin Hayward)
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.
Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.
And I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
Melancholy Man
(Mike Pinder)
I'm a melancholy man, that's what I am
All the world surrounds me and my feet are on the ground
I'm a very lonely man doing what I can
All the world astounds me and I think I understand
That we're going to keep growing, wait and see
When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground
And angry voices carry on the wind
A beam of light will fill your head
And you'll remember what's been said
By all the good men this world's ever known
Another man is what you'll see
Who looks like you and looks like me
And yet somehow he will not feel the same
His life caught up in misery,
he doesn't think like you and me
'Cause he can't see what you and I can see
I'm a melancholy man, that's what I am
All the world surrounds me and my feet are on the ground
I'm a very lonely man doing what I can
All the world astounds me and I think I understand
That we're going to keep growing, wait and see
When all the stars are falling down
Into the sea and on the ground
And angry voices carry on the wind
A beam of light will fill your head
And you'll remember what's been said
By all the good men this world's ever known
Another man is what you'll see
Who looks like and looks like me
And yet somehow he will not be the same
His life caught up in misery,
he doesn't think like you and me
'Cause he can't see what you and I can see
Candle of Life
(John Lodge)
Something you can't hide
Says you're lonely
Hidden deep inside
Of you only
It's there for you to see
Take a look and be
Burn slowly the candle of life
Something there outside
Says you're only
In the hands of time
Falling slowly
It's there for us to know
With love that we can go
Burn slowly the candle of life
So love everybody
And make them your friends
So love everybody
And make them your friends
Something you can hide
Says you're lonely
Hidden deep inside
Of you only
It's there for you to see
Take a look and be
Burn slowly the candle of life
Something there outside
Says you're only
In the hands of time
Falling slowly
It's there for us to know
With love that we can go
Burn slowly the candle of life
