Do you want to be an angel Do you want to be a star Do you want to play some magic on my guitar Do you want to be a poet Do you want to be my string You could be anything Do you want to be the lover of another Undercover You could even be the man on the moon
Do you want to be the player Do you want to be the string Let me just tell you something It just don’t mean a thing You see it really doesn’t matter When you’re buried in disguise By the dark glass on your eyes Though your flesh has crystalised Still... you turn me on
Do you want to be the pillow where I lay my head Do you want to be the feathers lying in my bed Do you want to be a colour cover magazine Create a scene Every day a little sadder A little madder Someone get me a ladder
Do you want to be the singer Do you want to be the song Let me tell you something You just couldn’t be more wrong You see I really have to tell you That it all gets so intense From my experience It just doesn’t seem to make sense Still... you turn me on
Greg Lake wrote most of their stuff, sometimes with Keith Emerson.
Here's a seasonal one:
They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth But instead it just kept on raining A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth I remember one Christmas morning A winters light and a distant choir And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas They sold me a Silent Night And they told me a fairy story 'Till I believed in the Israelite And I believed in Father Christmas And I looked at the sky with excited eyes 'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn And I saw him and through his disguise
I wish you a hopeful Christmas I wish you a brave New Year All anguish pain and sadness Leave your heart and let your road be clear They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell The Christmas you get you deserve
It's on a tape an old boyfriend made for me over 20 years ago, and I still play the thing every year. Thanks for posting the lyrics to both these songs. :loveya:
