Cogs in Cogs by Gentle Giant.

here's mine..

Stub towers in the distance,
riders cross the blasted moor
against the horizon.
Fickle promises of treaty,
fatal harbingers of war, futile orisons
swirl as one in this flight, this mad chase,
this surge across the marshy mud landscape
until the meaning is forgotten.
Hood masks the eager face, skin stretched and sallow,
headlong into the chilling night, as swift as any.....

Van Der Graaf Generator- God Bluff

Now:

You must have been special
I see they carved it in the marble
I see they let you rest in the hill
And you and I are close without meeting

Googled? Shame on you! Well, donkey it is. NITS is 'art pop' somewhere between Japan or Talk Talk and Brian Eno's songs. Simple but sophisticated, not much rocking. Keys player Robert Jan Stips was responsible of SUPERSISTER. The singer/guitarist Henk Hofstede can be considered as the leader, and the third core member is percussionist Rob Kloet. Best albums IMO: In the Dutch Mountains ('87), Urk (live 2cd), Giant Normal Dwarf, Ting ('92). Of their earlier, more avant-gardish output Omsk ('82) is the most interesting.

PS. VDGG song is Arrow.

To The Hill -- from Salem Hill's "The Robbery of Murder"

Give this one a try:

They be waiting for you, they be asking for you
We depending on you, we depending on your healing of the structure centre
Until you reach and touch your own redemption

Well, what's the point of having an information super-highway if I'm not going to use it to broaden my horizons?   

Now, Cinema's is Yes, That Is from Keys To Ascension

Next...

"Sitting on a park bench
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Feeling like a dead duck
spitting out pieces of his broken luck."

"Without prog, life would be a mistake."

EXTREMELY EASY! The two first words were enough to recognize it as Aqualung.

Anyway, here's another (probably too) easy, a song I love to sing to myself:

"Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me I know it well."

Kansas - The Wall (What a good name for a Pink Floyd album!)

Next..

"And the nurse will tell you lies
Of a kingdom beyond the skies.
But I am lost within this half-world,
It hardly seems to matter now."

"Without prog, life would be a mistake."

That one is pretty easy: The Musical Box from Nursery Cryme by Genesis

How about this one:

For my second sight of people, they’ve more lifeblood than before.
They’re moving in time to a heavy wooden door,
Where the needle’s eye is winking, closing in on the poor.

the carpet crawlers by genesis



how about this:


Lord, I ain't goin' down to no race track
See no sports car run
I don't have no sports car
And I don't even care to have one
I can walk anytime around the block

Van Der Graaf Generator- God Bluff

 

Sigh....This is why I rarely play my own game anymore.

Simple rules and Cygnus screws it up.......name the song...not the lp.

Bob Dylan's Blues by the exaulted Mr. Zimmerman, himself.
Next...
Sadness on your shoulders like a wornout overcoat
In pockets creased and tattered hang the rags of your hope.
The daybreak is your midnight; the colours have all died.

Society Of Mind - Shadow Gallery

Next...

"After all this time, they ask us to leave,

And I told them we could pay double the rent.

I don't know why it seemed so funny,

Seeing as how they'd take more money."

Get 'Em Out By Friday - Genesis

Now this:

"She was a wallflower at sixteen, she’ll be a wallflower at thirty four
Her mother called her beautiful
Her daddy said, a whore"
"We've got to get in to get out"

  MARILLION  -  'Bitter Suite'

Now: " Out of the running, out of the game,
           out on your feet, clear out of range,
           out of context, out of contact,
           out of the woods. "

And I'll float on your melody, sing you chorus soft and low"

           and they light the dark hours,
           and sweep all the country clean
           with pressed and scented wild-flowers. "

Playing cards on Venus in a cloudy room
Pass a glass of ammonia, I got to get off soon
Sunbathin' on Mercury or jammin' on Jupiter
Which do you prefer?

Anus of Uranus by Klaatu

Now:

I've been a patron saint
I've had my mouth washed out
And I've been one big complaint
I turned myself into two separate gorillas?
