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.

So if you you feel a little glum, To Hergest Ridge you should come. In summer, winter, rain or sun, It's good to be on horseback. Hmmm!
It comes to me usually during a boring staff meeting or assembly.....you definitely need to do the Hmmmm! to bring a smile to your face! Try it out!
Here's another that pops into my head at random times....
Louise, is the Reverend hard to please?.....you're telling me! ....Perhaps sir, if it's not to late, we can interest you in our Staffordshire plate..............

^Staffordshire play-ay-ate?! OH...NO...NOT ME! I'm a man of repute!
One of THE most epic lyrical passages in all of prog:
"666 is no longer alone
He's getting out the marrow in your backbone And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll Gonna blow right down inside your soul Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand-new tune"

For some reason, it's this:
I am the one who guided you this far, All you know and all you feel. Nobody must know my name For nobody would understand, And you kill what you fear.
I call you for I must leave, You're on your own until the end. There was a choice but now it's gone, I said you wouldn't understand, Take what's yours and be damned.

From George Harrison's "Awaiting On You All"
You
don't need no love in You don't need no bed pan You don't need
a horoscope or a microscope The see the mess that you're in If
you open up your heart You'll see what I mean We've been
polluted so long Now here's a way for you to get clean
By
chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be free The Lord is
awaiting on you all to awaken and see Chanting the names of the
Lord and you'll be free The Lord is awaiting on you all to awaken
and see
You don't need no passport And you don't need no
visas You don't need to designate or to emigrate Before you can
see Jesus If you open up your heart You'll see he's right
there Always was and will be He'll relieve you of your
cares
By chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be free The
Lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see Chanting the names
of the Lord and you'll be free The Lord is awaiting on you all to
awaken and see
You don't need no church house And you don't
need no Temple You don't need no rosary beads or them books to
read To see that you have fallen If you open up your heart You
will know what I mean We've been kept down so long Someone's
thinking that we're all green
And while the Pope owns fifty
one percent of General Motors And the stock exchange is the only
thing he's qualified to quote us The Lord is awaiting on you all
to awaken and see By chanting the names of the Lord and you'll be
free

By Ayreon (Devin Townshend in this case), Day Sixteen: Loser -
[Father] Look at you, lying there, defenceless and alone
See I am no fool, I always knew you wouldn't make it on your own
'cause you're just like your mother, well, where is she now?
You'll end up like her soon, 6 feet under ground, loser!
I came here to watch you bleed, oh how I love to gloat
If you had any balls at all, you'd grab me by the throat
You don't even look like me, ha! Not even close!
You're an aberration, some freak...I suppose, loser!
I had my fun, I'm going back to the place I don't call home
There's no one there who waits for me, but you won't hear me moan
My ex-wives all sue me, and with half my kids in jail
I'll still come out laughing, coz me? I never fail, loser!

Drawn like moths we drift into the city The timeless old attraction Cruising for the action Lit up like a firefly Just to feel the living night
Well some will sell their dreams for small desires Or lose the race to rats Get caught in ticking traps And start to dream of somewhere To relax their restless flight Somewhere out of a memory of lighted streets on quiet nights

Yep. I feel the same way. I suspect a lot of people on here(if not most)like other stuff besides just prog. As a big fan of 90's alternative this was sad for me too. I have one of their cds somewhere and so have to look for it now(I'm pretty sure the one I have is "if everyone else is doing it...").

I think the version of Twilight Alehouse on the B side of IKWIL was actually recorded during 1972 but it was first written and performed by the band as early as 1969 (the guitar riff actually appears as a 'joining' section between two songs on 'From Genesis to Revelation') and there is a brain melting BBC session version from 1972 and the lovely Belgium TV (Rock of the 70's) version from around early 1971

"Twilight Alehouse" was allegedly recorded during the "Foxtrot" sessions, but I think this is impossible because of what I call the "aural fingerprint". I will explain what I mean by that.
each album has its own specific sound due to the circumstances during the recording sessions. this is especially so for analogue recordings, but to a certain degree even for digital ones, although less pronounced. each studio has its own acoustic parameters, and even the same studio may have different acoustic parameters at different times. this is well-known by any sound technician. I know for certain that TV sound engineers used to record 3 minutes of silence for shootings to get the sound atmosphere. I don't know if this is still so, but it definitely was in the 70s.
now the "aural fingerprint" of "Twilight Alehouse" happens to match the "aural fingerprint" of "Nursery Cryme" and not of "Foxtrot". hence it was definitely recorded during these sessions

I think the version of Twilight Alehouse on the B side of IKWIL was actually recorded during 1972 but it was first written and performed by the band as early as 1969 (the guitar riff actually appears as a 'joining' section between two songs on 'From Genesis to Revelation') and there is a brain melting BBC session version from 1972 and the lovely Belgium TV (Rock of the 70's) version from around early 1971
"Twilight Alehouse" was allegedly recorded during the "Foxtrot" sessions, but I think this is impossible because of what I call the "aural fingerprint". I will explain what I mean by that.
each album has its own specific sound due to the circumstances during the recording sessions. this is especially so for analogue recordings, but to a certain degree even for digital ones, although less pronounced. each studio has its own acoustic parameters, and even the same studio may have different acoustic parameters at different times. this is well-known by any sound technician. I know for certain that TV sound engineers used to record 3 minutes of silence for shootings to get the sound atmosphere. I don't know if this is still so, but it definitely was in the 70s.
now the "aural fingerprint" of "Twilight Alehouse" happens to match the "aural fingerprint" of "Nursery Cryme" and not of "Foxtrot". hence it was definitely recorded during these sessions
I'm aware of the concept (Room tone) you refer to.. everything ive read (and yes you shouldn't believe everything you read) over many many years leads me to strongly believe that Twilight Alehouse was not 'officially' recorded until 72. Chances are it wasn't at the Island (Basing street) studios where the majority of Foxtrot was recorded as i'm sure some overdubs were done elsewhere. There is a huge difference between the sound production of David Hitchcock/ John Burns and John Anthony/David Henshel and between Trident and Basing Street in terms of dynamics.. have you actually analysed the analogue recordings of these personally or just 'by ear'? i'd be very interested to hear it/ see any evidence, just being a long, long time fan of the band and of the Charisma label 69-75.
Anyway, all that aside aside, I was just respecting, acknowledging and returning your comment on my comment in a jolly manner

There's a black cat down on the quayside. Ship's lights, green eyes glowing in the dark. Two young cops handing out a beating: Know how to hurt and leave no mark. Down in the half-lit bar of the hotel There's a call for the last round of the day. Push back the stool, take that elevator ride. Fall in bed and kick my shoes away...

Will he take a sailboat ride?
He is very likely to
Will he feel good inside?
He ain't ever likely to
Will he tell you he's alive?
He is always tryin' to
But nothin', no no nothin' does he ever say
In the morning when the day's begun
"Do you think it looks like rain"?
And in the evening or the noonday sun
"You know I nearly missed my train"

I love Paddy McAloon 's words.
"The Old Magician"
The old magician takes the stage His act has not improved with age Observe the shabby hat and gloves The tired act that no one loves There was a time he produced doves
A mirror and a puff of smoke His mysteries are now a joke His poor assistant black and blue She's tired of being sawn in two She's tired of being sawn in two
Hidden trapdoor, velvet cape Still from death there's no escape Words of sympathy and tact Only underline the fact Death is a lousy disappearing act

In wet and windy priest-holes. Grand in vast cathedrals. High on lofty minarets or in the temples of doom. I hope the old man's got his face on. He'd better be some quick change artist. Suffer little children to make their minds up soon. Bad mouth on a prayer day, hope no one's listening. Roots down in the wet clay, branches glistening. Roots to branches
Roots to branches

The most crucial and critical time that I've ever witnessed Being as young as I am...
You know...
We all don't want to say nothing else, so we say “as young as we are.” Now I want to talk about the pronunciation and the realization Now the educators they call it E.S.P.,
Positive thinking, right? Some of the people across the other side of the pond call it Vibe Vibrations Astrology and all those different things you understand
But I call it?......

The clock strikes twelve and moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil on a madman's face

Like silver scrapes in May
Now the sands become a crust
And most of you have gone away

Teach your children well
Their father's hell
Did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks
The one you'll know by
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
