I knew those lyrics, but couldn't match it with a song or band, never considered the Golden Earring for that lyric Oh you googled, well at least it got the thread moving again

 

The new one is Black Sabbath - Solitude.

 

When she speaks to you in a soft voice
Makes you feel secure
Makes you feel so good at things you do

Lady Jay - Wishbone Ash (now there's a band I haven't listened to in a long, long time!)

Now this next one: the group is not really prog (but possibly more so than some featured in Prog Archives) ... but this song is prog...

If your circles could be spirals
And your idols weren’t machines
If you could pick up all the signals
And flash on where you’ve been
Maybe you don’t feel it at all
It’s your own fault, crawl boy crawl
If you could quit the miming
and try some different timing
You could get a chance to be free

 

"Without prog, life would be a mistake."

That's Camel - Watching the BobbinsThumbs Up

Was ist:

"Hear me when I cry -- listen to my song

Of Jay my lovely lady -- to the earth she did belong.

I a country serf, loved her all my life

But the manor lady's bright young son couldn't take her for his wife."

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

LSD!  Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - what the hell was the band's name

"And for once I stood quite naked, I shamed, I wept the tears

which I tried to hide inside myself from me... I mean from you."

Answer to the following message: yes, I realized my Rush mistake. "Sphere" should have rung a bell!

Dinosaur - King Crimson

"Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high."

  "Bird in the Gravel" by Jane Siberry, from her masterpiece "The Walking" (one of my all-time favourite albums as well!)

 

"all the mistakes and bad judgements I made
nearly pushed me to the brink
it doesn't pay to be too nice
it's the one thing I have learned"

Fugazi

How about this:

We can walk our road together
If our goals are all the same.
We can run alone and free
If we pursue a different aim.
Let the Truth of Love be lighted,
Let the Love of Truth shine clear. Sensibility,
Armed with sense and liberty,
With the Heart and Mind united in a single
Perfect
Sphere.

YES - 'Sound Chaser'

Now: " A knight for embankments folds his newspaper castle
           A creature of habit, begs the boatman's coin. "

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick

next.. its pretty easy:

Passing time will reach as nature relays to set the scene,
New encounters spark a true fruition,
Guiding lines we touch them, our bodies balance out the waves
As we accelerate our days to the look in your eyes.

Tell Me - Camel

Here's an easy one...

"My words but a whisper - your deafness a SHOUT.
I may make you feel but I can't make you think.
Your sperm's in the gutter - your love's in the sink."

"Without prog, life would be a mistake."

Well, at least I got the first name right.

What about this, anyone? (Quite easy, ain't it?)

"maybe music is the only way to tell me how you feel"  (hopefully not true about us...)

 " Father's fumbling in the vestry,
           lip-service to the sermon even while his fingers fiddle. "

Peter Hammill's "Fed to the wolves", isn't it?

Is it Family and the Fishing Net (Peter Gabriel)? Correct if I'm wrong. (Coincidentally in my paper with quotes to be used here I have the lines "light creeps thru her secret tunnels, sucked into the open spaces" from that song.)

"maybe music is the only way to tell me how you feel"

'Summer 68' by PINK FLOYD.

Now: " Father's fumbling in the vestry,
           lip-service to the sermon even while his fingers fiddle. "
