song list next song Jon & Vangelis: Letter A Jon & Vangelis: The Friends Of Mr. Cairo Back To School
(lyrics Anderson/music Vangelis)
Made my escape just a few days ago
I don't wanna tell you how low you can go
Movin' on up get a job quickly
Somthin hit me I don't know wot it was
I wanna go back this (week)
I wanna go back this (week)
I wanna go back this (minute)

They said I was unruly
Better get a job
I really didn't understand the meaning of the word
I tried to get an understanding with the foreman boss
He simply put me down and said I wasn't
                        (To be trusted)
So I wanna go back
I wanna go back
I wanna go back

I wanna go back to school
I wanna go back to school
You might think I'm a crazy fool
I wanna go back to school
Man its safer in there
The world outside is so uncool

I need the money right now, I need the right job
The guys at work just needle me, they just can't
                                      get enough
I telephoned my friend, he said "same with me"
So wot are we going to do in this unearthly factory
I don't understand, how I was pushed to the brink

I wanna go back
I wanna go back
I wanna go back

I wanna go back to school
I wanna go back to school
I wanna go back to school
Man it's crazy out here in the 'outer' world
I wanna go back to school

So I'm sitting in the dark
In my bed the other night
Thinking about my teacher
Now wasn't she right
They said youd get a shock
Just like coming out of the womb
The world outside's enormous
There's only so much room
People kick and tear your brain
Life outside's insane
I wanna go back "HERE ME NOW"

I really tried to work so hard
They told me scrub the floor
They kicked me like a toy
Nailed me to the door
I wanna go back to school
I wanna hear it, hear it
Hear the golden rule
I wanna go back to school
song list next song previous song Jon & Vangelis: Page Of Life (original edition) Be A Good Friend Of Mine
(lyrics Anderson/music Vangelis)
Be a good friend of mine.
You travel the secret sites
All over this world,
Planted here in Malibu.

He was given his wings
So in order to fly.
In a dream we see      (In a dreamy scene)
The sorcerers of the sky.

The sorcerers of the Deep.
The Orca whale, the Samurai.
He asked the question right off,
What does it mean to me ?

He was told he was a daemon of life.
His flute was his heart's companion.
To dream of whales flying in the sky
Was the key to a secret door.
He had seen the three as a sailing ship  (He had seen the three as a solar ship)
Who flew this world's discovery.
Be aware that, if you connect this dream,
You enter through the doors,
Through the doors
Of Paradise !

Be a good friend of mine.
Said he wanted to see
As a seer of his day,
He saw the chandle-light.

Who are the Kingdom come ?
Who are the UFO ?
Are we religious now ?
Or was he ever so ?

What is the crystal void ?
The sun is more than alive.
Why do we fight these wars ?
Why can't we see the light?

Who is our brother sun ?
Who is our sister moon ?
Or would you live in peace
And is it coming real soon ? (real soon, real soon, real soon)

He was told he was a daemon of life.
His flute was his heart's companion.
To dream of whales flying in the sky
Was the key to a secret door.
He had seen the three as a sailing ship
Who flew this world's discovery.
Be aware that, if you connect this dream,
You'll enter through the door,
You'll enter through the door
Of Paradise !
song list next song previous song Jon & Vangelis: The Friends Of Mr. Cairo Beside
(lyrics Anderson/music Vangelis)
I have seen the compass turning
Round & round my heart
The senses are yearning
For a possible change of heart
That is coming to you
Coming to you.
You stand upright, you are different
Why the spinal shock the fusion the evil
Spill it out on the floor of belief
Come and mend this design
Come and mend this design
With every right we do.

I have seen the sun, this sounds crazy
The story about a boy in the rain
He was standing waiting for for the light
As though he did have a reason to know
Did he really know?
His eyes were open they expected someone
In his heart he felt the compass was turned on

I will echo, ho for reasons that change me
Every thought, though it takes so long,
Is master with every plan

It would seem there is no end
To the bad or goodness in man
So my friend it seems the weariest night
Just leads to a heavenly dawn
Should we see so much
In every time we sigh.

Even this we could call music
As that would match my body connection
Let me take your hand, I will be beside you beside

He took so much a lot of my mind
I can't help believe all though is sublime
It this fate
I see it again & again
Yes, I am taugh to love above every reason
Every one every season
The compass will turn
And turn again
    turn again
And turn again.
song list Jon & Vangelis: Letter C previous song Jon & Vangelis: Short Stories Bird Song
(lyrics Anderson/music Vangelis)
Took a little love, walked thru a garden
Who can I see, in and around your hand
Looking to the top, as he feeds beside you
Humming bird, close to your hand.

It was for a reason I did not see before, it was;
someone did give me eyes
That is nature sounding within
In the face of it
In the face of it there's nothing left to rhyme
and the more you try you'll understand
They'll be flying into your hand tomorrow.
