Zondag spelen we ons aperitiefconcert met het harmonie-orkest om de zomervakantie in te luiden.
Op dit blog doe ik dat met dit nummer.
1 instrument hebben beide gemeen : de dwarsfluit en die bespeel ik zondag zelf ook ;-)

Hopelijk geniet u net zo erg als ik van Ian Andersons' virtuositeit...


Circus

Walkin' around this concrete garden
Viewing all in vain
Thinking why a dream
Is driving everyone insane

Then something will come
And make you feel the master in control
Still you're picking up and screwing
Anyone who's got a soul

I've been here far too long to remember
Sights and sounds from this town of clowns
Makin' up, dressin' up walkin' around
Thinkin' that you're Greta Garbo

I'm sorry my dears but we only sat down
And laughed and laughed in sorrow
But it was you that opened the door
And it's that we thank you for

Walkin' around this concrete garden
Viewing all in vain
Thinking why a dream
Is driving everyone insane

Everyone insane
Everyone insane
Everyone's insane



Blind eye

Stranger than the sunrise
Darker than the night
Fiercer than a rainstorm
This is man's delight
This is man's delight

Weaker than a moment
And hot as any fire
Blinder than the blind eye
This is man's desire
This is man's desire

I ran to a place in the open sea
Where I pledged my life to the sun
It was good for a while
I could laugh, I could smile
But when I woke up one day
The sun had gone

I ran to a place in the open sea
Where I pledged my whole life to the sun
It was good for a while
I could laugh, I could smile
But when I woke up one day
The sun had gone, had gone
Had gone, had gone, had gone, had gone

So, what of my meaning?
What am I trying to say?
What of my caution?
Im a man anyway
Im a man anyway

Im a man anyway
Im a man anyway
Im

a man anyway


Echoes in the dark

I have heard the echoes in the dark
Dim and distant voices of the past
And I've seen so far into the night
And lingered in the land of no light

Far beyond the shrouded hours of dawn
Through the mist of daybreak I was born
But the day was clouded still by night
Leaving me in the land of no light

Though I'd love to say hello to you
You might have to wait awhile to say goodbye
For it must end as it began
And then start again

The day of darkness comes to every man
And lingers while he reaches out his hand
And he cannot know how it will end
Till he finds out if he has a friend
...A friend



Songwriters
Hensley, Ken
