Saucer Full of Secrets


 
 

                                                    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 at Milden Hall.

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

                                                   Carter's father saw it there and
                                                 And knew the rhull revealed to him
                                               The living soul of Herrywood the Wake.

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

                                                  The outer lock rolls slowly back,
                                                 The servicemen 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

                                                   Summoning his cosmic pow'r
                                                 And glowing slightly from his toes,
                                                  The psychic emanations flowed.

                                                   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

                                    Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun

                                                 Little by little the night turns around.
                                              Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn.
                                                 Lotus's lean on each other in urning.
                                                 Over the hill the 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.

                                                    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 recieved 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.

                                      A Saucerful of Secrets (Instrumental)

                                                           Something Else
                                                      Syncopated Pandemonium
                                                            Storm Signal
                                                          Celestial Voices

                                                         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

                                                     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 the moon 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.
