How about this one then:

By the side of a northern sea

The army had my father

And my mother was having me"


Close ... the song is On TV. You are correct regarding the album title and
band.

That's The Way - Led Zeppelin

Give this one a try:

In your houses late at night
Sit down cosy, kill that light
Watch a movie, watch a fight
Feeling safe as well you might

Further Up And Further In - Glass Hammer

Go for this:

"And yesterday I saw you standing by the river,
And weren’t those tears that filled your eyes,
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,
Had they got you hypnotized?"

Tales Of Brave Ulysses - Cream

Heres another:

Happiness
Did you find it in her arms
Did you sense it in her spirit
Joy like a shadow
Found in her dark embrace

Blinded By The Light - Bruce Springsteen ...also... Manfred Mann's Earthband

 

And you see a girl’s brown body dancing through the turquoise,
And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea.
And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body,
Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind.

"Without prog, life would be a mistake."

Jethro Tull - My God

Now this:

"Madman drummers bummers,
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat"

all the gods that you can count."

Yezda Urfa's To-Ta in the Moya from the Sacred Baboon album

Here's another for you:

Even the olive leaf
From the topmost bough
When it missed the ark
Was quickly taught
How to sink or swim
By the pallor of doves

10CC - I'm Mandy Fly Me

Waiting time will fly, aching shoulders cry, sizing up the sky, knowing when to die, wake up judgment is gone and lighting is bad.'

Lucky Man -- ELP

This will really test your mettle:

Just like a rollin' stone
I'm outside lookin' in
But if your chance came would you take it
Where on earth do I begin

All The Love - Kate Bush

 

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died

Star, Star - The Rolling Stones

How's 'bout this one:

Don't believe in miracles,
I do believe in love.
Don't advise you to stick to rules,
There ain't no need to push and shove
Or in the end you'll reflect the pool
Reaching for the sky above

Second Attention - Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe

"Honey, honey, call me on the telephone,
I know you're movin' out to Hollywood
with your can of tasty foam
All those beat up friends of mine
got to get you in their books
And lead guitars and movie stars
get their toes beneath your hook."

Ballad of John & Yoko~ Beatles

 

Be gone you ever piercing
Power Play machine
Cutting our musical solidarity
For those who would break the windows
Of our true reflections
And perceptions of the world
'For I am out of thee with a vengeance'

they're gonna crucify me"
