Gong
Angel's Egg
Radio Gnome Invisible, Part 2
OTHER SIDE OF THE SKY
Tim Blake / daevid allen
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
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
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?
GIVING 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
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
riding round in Teapot Taxis
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 lose 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
LOVE IS HOW YOU MAKE IT
Pierre Moerlen/daevid allen
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
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
