1. Other Side Of The Sky

To pass beyond the countless worlds 
The eternal wheel 
The ceaseless tides of selves 
Ever passing away before our eyes... 

All life's light that I've seen... 
Here before me. . . 

Hare hare supermarket ! 
Hare hare supermarket ! 
Hare hare hare supermarket ! 
Hare hare London bus ! 
Hare hare ladies' lavatory... 
Hare hare hare hare hare hare... 

2. Sold To The Highest Buddha

I'm zero the hero 
And my head has floated away in the sky - don't know why 
And now this spaceship headin' for me 
I thought I was lost in the spaces and now all these faces... 
And still I can't tell if it's really a spell 
or exactly what's happenin' to me... 

Look out, we're being invaded ! 
Hang on to your hat, we're being raided ! 
And Captain Capricorn, that's who's behind it 
If nothing's there to find, you know he'll find it 

Hang on to your head 
Hang on to your head 
Hang on to your head 
Hang on to your head... 

It's a hassle you know to make rocket ships go to infinity 
And I'm so sick of God and these bishops that talk of divinity 
Now my head's feeling strange and my codpiece is starting to tremble 
And that head in the sky there is starting to look like the devil... 

Look out, we're being invaded ! 
Hang on to your hat, we're being raided ! 
Demons of the mind coming to get you 
Until you're clean, the devil won't forget you... 
Hang on to your head 

Hang on to your head 
Hang on to your head 
Hang on to your head... 

4. Prostitute Poem

It is night 
It's not night 
I'm happy 
I'm not happy 
I'm sad 
I'm not sad 
It's early 
It's late 
Je marche 
Je marche pas 

Bonsoir monsieur 
Tu viens avec moi ? 
Tu viens mon cheri ? 
Oui monsieur, viens 
Tu es pret ? 
Viens... 

Ca m'est egal 
What do you want me to do? 
Je veux - je veux pas 
I touch you - et c'est dur monsieur 
It's not like that 
I'll show you... 
Show you love... love... 
Let me sink... 
Ohhh... 

Je dois manger - n'importe quoi 
I break off the corner of your mind and eat it 
I'm eating your mind 
I'm eating your body 
Viens ici ici 
Come I want your body 
Viens, viens faire l'amour 
Faire l'amour 
Faire l'amour 

Come into my arms 
I kiss your lips 
You die 
I want your body 
I do not want your body 
De quoi s'agit-il ? 
Bonne nuit - good night 
Bonjour - mornin' 
It's night - it's day 
It's morning 
C'est ca, non? 

5. Givin My Love To You

I'm giving my love to you 
Cos I only want to see you smile 
You got nothing to lose 
But the failure to choose 
And you're turning into somebody new 
meanwhile... 

Oh no, give a dog a bone 
Don't come thinkin' through the door 
You won't forget us 
Cos we will not let you 
Cos we're lovin' you more and more 

8. Oily Way

Now you're here and now you're Gong 
Now you're back where you belong 
Meet the wizard of the keys 
And he'll reveal the mysteries 
Of Angels' Eggs and Octave Doctors 
Radio Gnome and Love Projectors 
Then he'll point up in the sky 
You will see the Teapots flying 
Down the Oily Way... 

Down the Oily Way you slide 
Through the inner space you ride 
Lots and lots of Pot-Head Pixies 
Ridin' round in Teapot Taxies 
On the Planet Gong they say 
If everything goes wrong today 
Fill your Teapot up with tea 
Come and take a ride with me 
Down the oily way... 

Oily Way 
Oily Way - it's not the milky way 
Oily Way - it's not the only way 
Oily Way - it's not the English way 

Stop ! 
Wait ! 
Hey ! 
Look ! 

High in the sky, the world you remember 
Scenes that we dreamed of 
Time for the end of 
Hate ! 
War ! 
Death ! 

You big daddy in your big sick city 
Gotta choose to loose your games now 

Now you're here and now you're Gong 
But this ain't me that sings this song 
For we the Gong Band it's enough 
To be the instruments of love 
On which the Octave Doctors play 
That we be one and all as one with Gong 
On earth and find again 
The joys of going around the bend 
Down the oily way 

Oily Way 
Oily Way - not the only way 
Oily Way - it's not the only way 
Oily Way - it's not the English way 

12. Love Is How You Make It

I left my body on my bed 
I flew away inside my head 
To dive right through the moon and find 
A perfect world inside my mind 
I want to take you there 
Smiling through your hair 

That is why I sing this song 
And why there is a band called Gong 
Voices in our heads are calling 
Ringing bells and singing tales of 
How this world could be 
If only we could learn to melt together 
Make such lovely weather 

Maybe we will blow it like in bygone ages 
Maybe we will make it if we care 
You'll be there 
We'll be there - love... 

Love is how you live it 
Love is how you give it 
Love is how you make it 
Love is how you take it 
First you make it with your body 
Everything you give to share 
When you come together then you're 
One with lovers everywhere, everywhere... 

Give a little wink, give a little wink 
You know... 

You know just who the pot head pixies are 
Have a little drink... 

13. I Never Glid Before

The light gets stronger and all our eyes look 
yonder to see what's going on 
But that's all right you'll soon be out 
of sight and surfing to the sun 
The moonwheel's turning, the waves unfulling you're 
learning you're Zero at the centre of the whirlpool 

Your aquaman and in your hand is a watering, 
can I now or can I not believe it leave it to be 
The fun gods winking and we're all blinking and 
thinking we're sinking in the sea 
You're in your glider the tide you're riding inside her 
is turnin with the moony like the sky... boy 

Okay, you're Mister Illusion 
Smiling in all this confusion 
Cos you're young today, tomorrow start to play 
I'd just like to say 

No I never 
No I never ever ever glid before 
I never - oh no 

Last warning tide turning 
Moon burning slow motion 
Waves that you ride 
Just to bolster your pride 
But if it's love that you're after 
The craft of a hero 
Will vibe at your side as alone you may glide 
With a tiny afterthought 
Flashing as the planet calls 

I never never glid before 

Open up the veil and let us take a peep in 
Thru the moon and diving deep we'll meet the whale 
Where rides the captain submarine 
Who told the tale of pixies green 
That sends us kisses in the brain 
And out-far planets never seen 
Except by technicolour dream 

I never never glid before 

That's another story - now's the time to go and find 
The cuppa tea - see
