The Moody Blues Album

I'm up to the eyes and I love everyone
Today I could cry I could reach for the sun
I'm walking on air and I'm here and I'm there
I travel the sky but for what I don't care

Fly me straight and fly me high
Fly me straight and fly me high

I'm up and I'm down and I'm gone, I'm around
I'm driving along with no wheels on the ground
Hang on to me tight 'cause it doesn't last long
A few hours more and it'll be gone

Fly me straight and fly me high
Fly me straight and fly me high
I leave you behind on the streets in the gloom
I'm up here alone and there's plenty of room
You won't see me, I'll see you, I'm too fast
Whoops! Here I come, Now I'm gone, now I'm past

Fly me straight and fly me high
Fly me straight and fly me high

I'm up to the eyes and I love everyone
Today I could cry I could reach for the sun
I'm walking on air and I'm here and I'm there
I travel the sky but for what I don't care

Fly me straight and fly me high
Fly me straight and fly me high

You want me to ride
In your car outside
Spend some time with you
Just an hour or two

But I really, I really haven't
I really haven't got the time
I really, I really haven't
I really haven't got the time
I really haven't got the time

I'm a busy man
Workin' when I can
I got no time to lend
I got no time, time to spend

Oh no, I really, I really haven't
I really haven't got the time
Oh no, I really, I really haven't
I really haven't got the time
I really haven't got the time
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

I really; I really haven't
I really haven't got the time
Oh no, I really; I really haven't
I really haven't got the time
I really haven't got the time

Workin' nine 'til five
Got to stay alive
I've got to stay alive
Find somebody who
Go find somebody who
Got some time for you
Who's got the time for you

But I really
No, no, no, no, I really haven't
I really haven't got the time
Oh no, I really
No, no, no, no, I really haven't
I really haven't got the time
I really haven't got the time
Really haven't got the time
Really haven't got the time

Ah, leave this man alone
Ah, leave this man alone

Young girls with long faces
Come to me at night and stay the night
Why am I so lonely?
Tell me is it right? Is it right?
Leave them, leave them, leave them
Leave those things alone
Leave them, leave them, leave them
Leave those things alone

Someone said I loved you
But I can't think where
I can't think where
You know so much about me
So don't stand and stare
Stand and stare
Leave me, leave me, leave me
Leave my mind alone
Leave me, leave me, leave me
Leave this man alone

Ah, ah, leave this man alone
Ah, ah, leave this
Ah, ah, leave this man alone
Ah, ah, leave this

Someone said I loved you
But I can't think where
I can't think where
You know so much about me
So don't stand and stare
Stand and stare
Leave me, leave me, leave me
Leave my mind alone
Leave me, leave me, leave me
Leave this man alone

Ah, ah, leave this man alone
Ah, ah, leave this man alone
Ahhhh

I look around at other people
I brush their shoulders at the corner of the street
But all they notice is their feet
It wasn't meant this way
Their minds have gone astray

If they could lift their eyes they'd see
There's people smiling just like me and I'll agree
It's not their fault because it's raining
It's all work and no play, it's just another day

[Love] Love and beauty [Love]
[Love] Love and beauty [Love]
Should be everybody's duty
To welcome every man as a friend

I wish that I could change the world
For every boy there'd be a girl for him to know
And maybe people would look up
Then they might realise they're not the only ones alive

[Love] Love and beauty [Love]
[Love] Love and beauty [Love]
[Love] Love and beauty [Love]
Should be everybody's duty
To welcome every man as a friend

[Love] Love and beauty [Love]
[Love] Love and beauty [Love]

Neon, the city's sun
Taxis like beetles run, and I see
Pavements with yellow lines
Grey walls and big bold signs with darkness
Up above, all around
In the sky, on the ground
This is what, I have found
Cities, cities

Here the flowers don't grow
Here the river's just a sewer
People who move below
Buildings with smells and noise and darkness
Up above, all around
In the sky, on the ground
This is what, I have found
Cities, cities

Not for me
No, no I don't believe you
It's not the place to be
No, no I won't believe you

Here the flowers don't grow
Here the river's just a sewer
People who move below
Buildings with smells and noise and darkness
Up above, all around
In the sky, on the ground
This is what I have found
Cities, cities, cities

As time goes by you will see
That we're going to be free
You and me, we'll touch the sky
Can you see in your mind's eye?
That we are one
We're all the same
And life is just a simple game

There, by your side, I will be
When this crazy world is free
Free from doubt
When it finds out
Exactly what we're meant to be
That we are one
We're all the same
And life is just a simple game

Thoughts of another day
Flashing through my head
Thinking how life could be
All of the things that our great men have said
Be what we want to be
What we deserve to be
What we are meant to be

As time goes by, you will see
That we're going to be free
You and me, we'll touch the sky
Can you see in your mind's eye?
That we are one
We're all the same
And life is just a simple game

We're gonna be free
Oohhh, gonna be free
Gonna be free
Free, gonna be free, gonna be free, Oohhh

My life is not as easy as you say
My life is not anything but as the day
My life is surrounded by the things of the day that have gone
My world is built on everything that I want can be won

Gimme' a little somethin' to help me on my way
Gimme' a little somethin' to help me on my way

My heart is not as cold as you can say
My heart is not anything but as the day
My heart is warmed by the way that you love and are gone
My life is founded on the thoughts that we two are just one

Gimme' a little somethin' to help me on my way
Gimme' a little somethin' to help me on my way


Gimme' a little somethin' to help me on my way
Gimme' a little somethin' to help me on my way
Gimme' a little somethin' to help me on my way

There in your eyes I see
That you want to be free
There by your side I'll be
If you still want me.

Please think about it.
I need your love
I'm no good without it.
Please think about it.
Give me your love
I can't live without it.

Oh no
Never leave my side
Baby please decide
I'm in love with you
I hope you want me too.
Don't go
Say there's nothing wrong
Stay where you belong
I'll be good to you
That's all I want to do

Please think about it
I need your love
I'm no good without it.
Please think about it
Give me your love
I can't live without it.

Oh no
Never leave my side
Baby please decide
I'm in love with you
I hope you want me too
Don't go
Say there's nothing wrong
Stay where you belong
I'll be good to you
That's all I want to do.

So if you have to go
I won't stand in your way
But if you decide to stay
I will be your guy

Please think about it
I need your love
I'm no good without it.
Please think about it
Give me your love
I can't live without it.

Oh no
Don't go.

Long summer days, I keep thinking
What to do with my time
So many ways, I keep sinking
What's to do with my time?

Take me back, I don't mind
Take me back, I've got time
Take me back, and let me start again

Time hurries by, I keep thinking
What's to do in our time
Don't let it by, just keep thinking
What's to do in our time?

Take me back, I don't mind
Take me back, I've got time
Take me back, and let me start again

Utopia's within our sight
Don't kick it or we lose it
Though you think the world's too fast
It's that way 'cause we choose it
Automation is the cry
Our minds have been forgotten
To understand me, you must try
My thoughts are turning rotten

Oh, please, please
Don't mess it up now for me
Please, please
Don't sit there and condemn me
Please, please, please

Long summer days, I keep thinking
What's to do with my time
So many ways, I keep sinking
What's to do with my time?

Take me back, I don't mind
Take me back, I've got time
Take me back, and let me start again
Ah, ah, ah, ah long summer days

It's like awaking from a dream
All I remember is a lullaby
I couldn't tell you where I've been
A thousand images just flutter by

Takin' my time in a white limousine
If I was the King, she'd be my Queen

And my thoughts are growing louder
And my mind has lost its way
And the flames are getting higher everyday

My mind is back behind my eyes
And there before me sits a butterfly
And as I watch, she gently cries
Can there be anyone who'll pity her?
How many faces have all of you been?
If I was the King She'd be my Queen

And my thoughts are getting louder
And my mind has lost its way
And the flames are getting higher everyday

My mind is back behind my eyes
And there before me sits a butterfly
And as I watch, she gently cries
Can there be anyone who'll pity her?
How many faces Have all of you been?
If I was the King, she'd be my Queen

And my thoughts are getting louder
And my mind has lost its way
And the flames are getting higher ev'ry day
And the flames are getting higher ev'ry day
And the flames are getting higher ev'ry day

Pale the young squire who goes to fight
To die at his master's side
Living is just a dream inside
You ask me why he cried:
What am I doin' here?
What am I doin' here?

Beautiful princess, fair and pale
Stares out across the sea
Alone in her castle dark and grey
Her love she'll never see
What am I doin' here?
What am I doin' here?

Tenderly bury the fair young dead
Place a wooden cross at his head
All the words you can say have been said
It's for you my tears are shed

What can be done, you won't believe
Listen and you may see
Everyone's dream is deep within
Find it and you'll be free
What am I doin' here?
What am I doin' here?

Tenderly bury the fair young dead
Place a wooden cross at his head
All the words you can say have been said
It's for you my tears are shed

Tenderly bury the fair young dead
Place a wooden cross at his head
All the words you can say have been said
It's for you my tears are shed

Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy is spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one;
Lonely man cries for love and has none;
New mother picks up and suckles her son;
Senior citizens wish they were young.

Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight,
Red is grey is yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion
