DISC 1 THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN


1. ASTRONOMY DOMINE

(The voice in the beginning belongs to manager Peter Jenner.)

Lime and limpid green
A second scene
A fight between the blue you once knew
Floating down
The sound resounds around the icy waters underground
Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda
And Titana, Neptune, Titan
Stars can frighten

Blinding, signs flap, flicker, flicker, flicker, blam
Pow Pow
Stairway
Scare Dan Dare
Who's there?

Lime and limpid green
The sounds around the icy waters under lime and limpid green
The sounds around the icy waters underground


2. LUCIFER SAM

Lucifer Sam, siam cat
It's always sitting by your side
Always by your side
That cat's something I can't explain

Ginger gently you're a witch
You're the left side
He's the right side
Oh no
That cat's something I can't explain

Lucifer go to sea
Be a hip cat
Be a ship's cat
Somewhere, anywhere
That cat's something I can't explain

I'd like to drown in sifting sands
Padding around on the ground, duty bound
When you're around
That cat's something I can't explain


3. MATILDA MOTHER

There was a King who ruled the land
His Majesty was in command
The silver eyes, the scarlet eagle
Showered silver on the people

Oh mother tell me more
Why'd you have to leave me there
Hanging in my infant air - waiting
You only have to read the lines as scribbly black
And ev'rything shines

Across the steam with wooden shoes
Bells to tell the King the news
A thousands misty riders climb up high
And once upon a time
Wondering and dreaming
The words have different meaning
Yes they did

All the time spent in the queue
The dollhouse darkness
Old perfume and fairly stories
Held me high on clouds of sun light floating by
Oh oh mother
Tell me more
Tell me more


4. FLAMING

Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown

yuppie !
You can't see me, but I can you
Lazing in the foggy dew
Sitting on an Unicorn

No fear!
You can't hear me, but I can you
Watching buttercups come to light
Sitting on a dandelion

Too much!
I won't touch you, but then I might
Swimming through the starlit sky
Travelling by telephone

Hey-ho !
Here we go ever so high

Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown - yuppie !
You can't see me, but I can you


5. POW R. TOC H.

(Instrumental)


6. TAKE UP THY STETHOSCOPE AND WALK

Doctor, Doctor
I'm in bed
Ache in head
Gold is red
Chalk on bread
Underfed
Gold is red
Cheese and bread
Pain is red
Ah me, go go, breezes fade
You spoke to me

Music seems to help the pain
Seems to motivate the brain
Doctor kindly tell your wife that I'm alive
Flowers thrive
Realise
Realise
Realise


7. INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVE

(Instrumental)


8. THE GNOME

I want to tell you a story
' Bout a little man, if I can
A gnome named Grimble Grumble
And little gnomes stay in their homes
Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine

He wore a scarlet tunic
A blue green hood, it looked quite good
He had a big adventure
Amidst the grass, fresh air at last
Wining, ding, biding his time

And then one day - hooray
Another way for gnomes to say 'Hooooray!'
Look at the sky; look at the river
Isn't it good?
Winding, finding places to go

And the one day - hooray
another way for gnomes to say 'Hooooray!'


9. CHAPTER 24

A movement is accomplished in six stages
and the seventh brings return
The seven is the number of the young light
It falls when darkness is increased by one

Change, returns, success
Going and coming without ever
Action brings good fortune
Sunset

The time is with the month of winter solstice
When the change is due to come
Thunder in the other course of heaven
Things cannot be destroyed once and for all

Change, returns, success
Going and coming without ever
Action brings good fortune
Sunset
Sunrise

A movement is accomplished in six stages
And the seventh brings return
The seven is the number of the young light
It falls when darkness is increased by one

Change, returns, success
Going and coming without ever
Action brings good fortune
Sunset
Sunrise


10. THE SCARECROW

The black and green scarecrow
As ev'ryone knows
Stood with a bird on his hat and straw ev'rywhere
He didn't care
He stood in a field where barley grows
His head did no thinking
His arms didn't move
Except when the wind cut up rough
And mice ran around on the ground
He stood in a field where barley grows

The black and green scarecrow was sadder than me
But now he's resigned to his fate
'Cause life's not unkind
He doesn't mind
He stood in a field where barley grows


11. BIKE

I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like it
It's got a basket, a bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want things

I've got a cloak
It's a bit of a joke
There's a tear up the front
It's red and black
I've had it for months
If you think it could look good
Then I guess it should

I know a mouse, and he hasn't got a house
I don't know why I call him Gerald
He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse

I've got a clan of gingerbread men
Here a man, there a man
Lots of gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish
They're on the dish

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want things

I know a room of musical tunes
Some rhyme, some ching
Most of them are clockwork
Let's go into the other room and make them work


DISC 2 A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS


1. LET THERE BE MORE LIGHT

Far, far, far away - way
People heard him say - say
I will find a way - way
There will come a day - day
Something will be done.

Then at last the mighty ship
Descending on a point of flame
Made contact with the human race
And melted hearts

Now, now, now is the time - time
Time to be - be - be aware

Carter's father saw him there and
Knew the road revealed to him
The living soul of .....

Oh, my, something in my eye - eye
Something in the sky - sky
Waiting there for me

The outer lock rolled slowly back
The service men were heard to sigh
For there revealed in glowing robes
Was Lucy in the sky

Oh - oh - did you ever know - know
Never ever will they
I cannot say

Something in his cosmic art
And glowing slightly from his toes
The psychic and the nations fly


2. REMEMBER A DAY

Remember a day before today
A day when you were young.
Free to play alone with time
Evening never came.
Sing a song that can't be sung
Without the morning's kiss
Queen - you shall be it if you wish
Look for your king
Why can't we play today
Why can't we stay that way

Climb your favorite apple tree
Try to catch the sun
Hide from your little brother's gun
Dream yourself away
Why can't we reach the sun
Why can't we blow the years away
Blow away
Blow away
Remember
Remember


3. SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN

Little by little the night turns around.
Counting the leaves which tremble and turn.
Lotus's lean on each other in union.
Over the hills where a swallow is resting.
Set the controls for the heart of the sun.

Over the mountain watching the watcher.
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine.
Morning to birth is born into shadow
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine.
Set the controls for the heart of the sun.
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun.

Who is the man who arrives at the wall?
Making the shape of his questions at asking.
Thinking the sun will fall in the evening.
Will he remember the lesson of giving?
Set the controls for the heart of the sun.
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun.


4. CORPORAL CLEGG

Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg
He won it in the war, in 1944.
Corporal Clegg had a medal too
In orange, red, and blue
He found it in the zoo.
Dear, dear were they really sad for me ?
Dear, dear will they really laugh at me ?
Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him.
Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin.
Corporal Clegg umbrella in the rain
He's never been the same
No one is to blame
Corporal Clegg received his medal in a dream
From Her Majesty the queen
His boots were very clean.
Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him
Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin.


5. A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS

(Instrumental)


6. SEE-SAW

Marigolds are very much in love, but he doesn't mind
Picking up his sister, he makes his way into the seas or land
All the way she smiles
She goes up while he goes down, down
Sits on a stick in the river
Laughter in his sleep
Sister's throwing stones, hoping for a hit
He doesn't know so then
She goes up while he goes down, down
Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
Another time, another day

She'll be selling plastic flowers on a Sunday afternoon

Picking up weeds, she hasn't got the time to care
All can see he's not there
She grows up for another man, and he's down
Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
Another time, another day
Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave


7. JUGBAND BLUES

It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear
That I'm not here.
And I never knew we could be so thick
And I never knew the moon could be so blue
And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could be writing this song.

I don't care if the sun don't shine
And I don't care if nothing is mine
And I don't care if I'm nervous with you
I'll do my loving in the winter.

And the sea isn't green
And I love the queen
And what exactly is a dream
And what exactly is a joke.
