Radio Paradise (mobile)

I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out and out
And spend the day your way
Call it morning driving through the sound and in and out the valley
The music dance and sing
They make the children really ring
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving through the sound and in and out the valley
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you
I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distant atmosphere
Call it morning driving through the sound and even in the valley
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you
Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land
The eagle's dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand
Go closer hold the land feel partly no more than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers by in our hand
Next to your deeper fears we stand surrounded by million years
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out and out
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out and out
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky, they stand there
Twenty four before my love and I'll be there
I'll be the roundabout
The words will make you out and out
You spend the day your way
Call it morning driving through the sound and in and out the valley
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see I'll be there with you
Da da da da da da da...

Relayer May 14, 2013 - 07:23	My RP screen name shows that I am a huge Yes fan. But I am also a huge Yes critic. Quick summary of Yes albums (incomplete list): Early albums were amazing, perfection of prog rock: The Yes Album: Awesome. Fragile: ground breaking, full of prog rock goodness Close to the Edge: taking it to the next level, great, but should have been the limit of their prog aspirations Tales from Topographic Oceans: they went off the deep end Relayer: back stepping to something a little more accessible, but still a tad over the top Going for the One: great album, finally the band is back on track Tormato: garbage Drama: a much needed change/shake up, more rock, less prog, a precursor/complicated version of the next album 90125 90125: full on 80s rock, people who liked Close to the Edge hate this album, but it was a good rock album, but not quite a Yes album Big Generator: full redemption in my book with that it was modern rock, slight prog influence, and lasted well Union: a half baked album, should not have been released. Talk: a modern take on prog rock, and man it worked well. Old and young Yes fans like it. After that a string of ho-hum albums, and a couple of total crap albums (Open Your Eyes & Fly From Here) [ Reply ]

I pretended to be into Yes when a callow adolescent as all my pseudo-intellectual 'mates' were into them as they seemed to be saying something profound full of mystical ineffable wossnames, the same as we were all into Gong, Amon Duul, ELP and the rest, but we were all deluding ourselves into believing that we were intellectuals who should be hanging out on Paris's Rive Gauche with Sartre and Camus, rather than spotty nerds in the stagnant backwaters of Luton. Hearing Yes now is just an embarrassment :o( I totally agree with your comments about pretentious lyrics and fans (I was one of these callow adolescent with pseudo-intellectual mates) but I don't mind admitting, I liked them then and still like them now. Yes was a stage I went through (like spots) and its part of what made me what I am today and I don’t feel embarrassed to say it. [ Reply ]
Ag3nt0rang3 May 14, 2013 - 07:10	Bleagh, I stand by my earlier opinion; too much showing off, not enough real evocation of emotion. [ Reply ]
MassivRuss May 14, 2013 - 07:08	Nice sequence Bill: Floyd - then Porcupine Tree - Day in the Life, Roundabout. I can practically feel the tasty 70's sweet bud. ${#Devil_pimp}$ [ Reply ]

I've nowt against Yorkshire fowk, 'appen, having lived there many a year and adopting t'accent mesen, but something about the singer always grated, maybe because he was always out of tune. Ok, 'personal issues' aired. I feel so much better for that now, doctor. Is it time for my medication yet? I love ya Fred, and feel the same about lyrics, but for me it's the music. It is good. Beyond good. And the lyricist I always took as another instrument in the form of a foreign language I don't know, but fills in nicely. [ Reply ]

jt1 Dec 21, 2012 - 14:19	This was the first record I bought. I think I paid 99p for it (second-hand) in a cool record shop that has not existed for a very long time. I seem to remember needing to listen to it a few times before it grew on me, but since it was the only record I'd bought I didn't have too many options other than to give it a few listens. [ Reply ]
