Love The King Of Emotion - Songlyrics (Seite 2167)

[MissB.Hagen]

Ja, das hier klingt schon ähnlicher ...

allen Nachtschwärmern und Eulenmenschen gewidmet
(unsere Liebe zu w:o sollte doch auch mal besungen werden)

25 Or 6 To 4
Chicago

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should I try to do some more
25 or 6 to 4

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or 6 to 4
25 or 6 to 4

fixbutte, danke - jetzt, wo du es sagst ... wie kam ich nur auf Cream-like ...
Aber nach Peter Cetera hat`s mir eigentlich auch nicht geklungen.

[fixbutte]

dat war Chicago, als sie noch gut waren
wirklich schon etwas älter (1969)

[MissB.Hagen]

Jaaaa, fixbutte - dieser Klassiker des Steh-Blues durfte zu späterer Stunde auf keiner Party fehlen.

In der ersten Abteilung lief u.a. viel Spencer Davis, wobei man sich dann bei "Gimme Some Loving" schon strategisch ausrichten musste, damit man bei "Nights in White Satin" nicht mit dem "falschen" Tanzpartner erwischt wurde.

Von "I`m A Man" habe ich erst kürzlich eine sagenhafte, bestimmt schon ältere Cover-Version gehört, die mir bis dahin entgangen war und die ich nicht zuordnen konnte, obwohl die Band bekannt klang (Cream-like?).

I`m A Man
Spencer Davis Group
By Winwood/Miller

Well my pad is very messy
And there’s whiskers on my chin
And I’m all hung up on music
And I always play to win
I ain’t got no time for lovin’
Cause my time is all used up
Just to sit around creatin’
All that groovy kind of stuff.

I’m a man
Yes I am
And I can’t help
But love you so
I’m a man
Yes I am
And I can’t help
But love you so.

Well if I had my choice of matter
I would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter
Moving where our minds are at
And relating to each other
Just how strong our wills can be
I’m resisting all involvement
With each groovy chick we see

Well I’m a man
Yes I am
And I can’t help
But love you so
I’m a man
Yes I am
And I can’t help
But love you so.

I got to keep my image
While suspended from a throne
That looks out upon a kingdom
Full of people all unknown
Who imagine I’m not human
And my heart is made of stone
I never had no problems
And my toilet’s trimmed with chrome

I’m a man
Yes I am
And I can’t help
But love you so.
I’m a man
Yes I am
And I can’t help
But love you so.

Missy

wo es diese Geschichte gab, gibt es auch noch mehr, z.B.

MOODY BLUES
The Moodies` history goes way back to 1964 when they were formed in Birmingham, England by guitarist/vocalist Denny Laine as a tough R&B influenced unit. Like many UK bands, they spent their formative years playing the London club and pub scene, finally releasing their debut album, for Decca Records, in 1966. The album, which featured keyboard player Mike Pinder, drummer Graeme Edge and horns player Ray Thomas, didn`t sell too well and Laine and bassist Clint Warwick left, with Laine embarking on a short-lived solo career before joining Wings in 1973. The two new members were ex-The Rebels bassist John Lodge and guitarist/vocalist Justin Hayward, from The Wilde Three. In 1967, the band embarked on a drastic change of direction. They acquired a mellotron, which was an early attempt at a sampling machine, and this instrument almost became their trademark. They started playing a form of quasi-classical music with deep, often poetic, lyrics. They were one of the first bands to record an album with a symphony orchestra. Their 1967 album, "Days of Future Past", was recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra.

This was the album that spawned their famous Hayward-penned hit, "Nights in White Satin", one of the most recognizable songs of the era. They would go on to form their own record label in 1969, signing up a number of big names, such as Trapeze and Asgard, to their stable. They continued to record and tour well into the mid seventies, finally calling it a day in 1974, when each member decided to concentrate on solo projects. They reformed in 1977 and are still around today, their latest release being 1999`s "Strange Times".

Und hier ihr bekanntester Song, der sehr gut in diesen Thread passt (durfte früher im Stehblues-Teil der Partys nie fehlen )
Nights in White Satin
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.

`Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.

Gazing at people,
Some hand in hand,
Just what I`m going thru
They can 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`d always missed
With these eyes before,
Just what the truth is
I can`t say anymore.

`Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

`Cause I love you,
Yes, I love you,
Oh, how, I love you.
Oh, how, I love you.

#1237 linea - Beggars Opera - mehr als Time Machine habe ich von denen nicht mehr im Ohr, kann mich aber noch gut an das eindrucksvolle Cover ihrer ersten Platte (sehr passend zum Bandnamen) erinnern
(gibt`s die überhaupt auf CD )

BEGGARS OPERA
Scotland`s Beggars Opera were formed in Glasgow in the late sixties as " System". Their early influences were Procol Harum and The Nice, and especially classical composers such as Franz Suppe, an Austrian citizen with an Italian mother and a Belgian father. They took their name from a successful play written in 1728 by English poet, John Gray. The debut album, released on the Vertigo "swirl" record label, was a milestone in progressive rock music, and ensured that the young Scots attracted good audiences wherever they performed, especially in Germany. The initial line-up was Martin Griffiths on vocals, Alan Park on keyboards, Ricky Gardiner on guitars, Marshall Erskine on bass and Raymond Wilson on drums. Their second album, "Waters of Change", released in 1971, featured the stunning "Time Machine", the mellotron drenched epic track that became a favourite at concerts.

At this stage, Virginia Scott, who would later marry Ricky Gardiner, joined the band as songwriter and mellotron player, and her contribution to the band`s overall sound was profound. Another change at the same time was bassist Gordon Sellar, who replaced Marshall Erskine for the next three albums. Hardly a covers band, they nonetheless had minor hits with their versions of the Jimmy Webb classic "MacArthur Park" and Mason Williams` "Classical Gas", off their fourth album, "Get your Dog off me", released in 1973. Ex- Writing on the Wall vocalist Linnie Patterson replaced Martin Griffiths for this fourth album, which was totally different in style to the band`s previous three albums in that they`d adopted an almost Westcoast AOR style. Although very "un"-Beggars Opera, this was actually a very good album, with some consistently high quality stuff from Gardiner especially. Drummer Colin Fairlie (String Driven Thing - another great Scottish act!) replaced Wilson, but the band split in 1974. Park had a short stint with Tiger (Nicky Moore) and The Bliss Band before becoming Cliff Richard`s musical director. Gardiner went on to feature with David Bowie and Iggy Pop for a short while. Sellar and Gardiner continued the band in the mid seventies and released an album," Sagittary", which, whilst still being quite good, wasn`t well received, and the fact that it was a German-only release didn`t help the band`s cause much either, as it was nigh impossible to find. They split again and reformed for a final time in 1979. Two further albums, "Beggars Can`t be Choosers", in 1979, and "Lifeline", featuring, amongst others, vocalist Gordon Neville (Alan Bown and Rick Wakeman), in 1980, were issued. German only releases again, they failed to recapture their former glory and Beggars Opera split for good in 1980. Linnie Patterson died a number of years back.

CLIMAX BLUES BAND

GOTTA HAVE MORE LOVE

Don`t wanna worry you baby
Don`t wanna bring you down
But if my love is too hot to handle
Let me know now
I`ve got this yearning inside me
And it`s running deeper than the night
So don`t go foolin` with my hunger
If you can`t keep me satisfied
I`m warning ya

CHORUS:
Gotta have - More love - I just can`t get enough
Gotta have - More love - I just can`t get enough
Gotta have - More love - I just can`t get enough
Love

Before we go any further
I think you should know
I can`t get by on part of your love babe
I`ve got to have it all
My only rule is desire
And it moves me
Stronger than the wind
So don`t go foolin` with my fire
Cuz you won`t stop me once I begin
I`m warning you

(CHORUS)
Gotta have - More love - I just can`t get enough
Gotta have - More love - I just can`t get enough
Gotta have - More love - I just can`t get enough
Love

Und jetzt...
doch noch der Text..... Yeah ... voooooon:

BEGGARS OPERA

TIME MACHINE

Inside my time machine
where we can dream
away from the world
and all it’s cares
- time machine

Alone at sun and moon
escape into
From wars and destiny
we will flee
– time machine

We will find a star to guide us
To a time when all our men are free
– free

Away across to mars
like shooting stars
We’ll stay, wait and see
it’s mystery
– time machine

Maybe we can find a place where all run together like a water in a stream
Life will be supplying, if only we’re trying to a melody within a fantasy

Beyond this universe infinite space
We’ll take all our love and our – time machine

Inside my time machine
where we can dream
away from the world
and all it’s cares
– time machine

Kansas • Child Of Innocencel

Sweet child of innocence
Living in the present tense
Father Time will take his toll
Rack your body and steal your soul
What became of all the years
Are you drowning in your tears
Who will catch you when you fall
Who will hear you when you call

I will comfort you, take your hand and see you through
I will take you through the door

Who do you think you are
Try to live forever and you won`t get far
I wait behind your door
Makes no difference if you`re rich or poor
Though you`re weary and afraid
Still you try to flee my blade
Come and walk in my new land
If you`ll only take my hand

In the image of those who have walked before me here
I am cast in the web of an ancient spell
I am holding on to life, I`m drifting in the stream
Everything`s much clearer now
We live within a dream and never wake

Judge not by what you see
More than you can count are here with me
Give up your foolish pride
All that walk the earth have died!
