Barclay James Harvest - Alone In The Night - lyrics

The cold in your eyes
Like the misty breath of a whisper
On an ice-cold morn
The cold in your face
Like a dagger drawn
Like a flashing blade
In a killer blow
We were never lovers
And silently i froze within
The gaze from your eyes
That summer night
In the dark of the night
All alone in the night
In the dark of the night, calling
All alone in the night for your love
All alone in the night
I need you to hold me
Timeless arrows carved through
Broken hearts of stone
Shadows moving slowly across the ground
A cold reminder of the way
Things used to be
Now i feel the shadows
Moving over me
I searched in vain for love
When true love i had found
Like a blind man i could never see
Those timeless arrows pierce my soul
Now you're gone
Ageless shadows closing in
Won't let me be
Only you set me free
The cold in your eyes
Like the misty breath of a whisper
On an ice-cold morn
You told me it was over
And silently i froze within the gaze
From your eyes
That summer night
In the dark of the night, calling
All alone in the night, for your love
In the dark of the night, crying
All alone in the night for your love
In the dark of the night, calling
All alone in the night, for your love
In the dark of the night, crying
All alone in the night
I need you to hold me...

Barclay James Harvest - After The Day - lyrics

John's vision of armageddon literally closes the album with a bang! the references in the lyric to a stained-glass window ("one great wall of coloured parts") and "the multi-colou
Ross left standing through it all" add to the apocalyptic feel of the song, which was a live favourite for many years, particularly in the days of the band's concerts with the orchestra.
Lyrics:
The eyes of night march slowly by
The last grain falls
The kneeling man just sighs
Protected by the one great wall
Of coloured parts
He probes his clouded mind
If he takes a look around him
Is there nothing left to see
Is there nothing left at all
After the day
With trembling hands he wipes his eyes
He tries to stand
But does not feel the need
The morning sun shines on
The multicoloured cross
Left standing through it all
If he takes a look around him
Is there nothing left to see
Is there nothing left at all
After the day
If he takes a look around him
Is there nothing left to see
Is there nothing left at all
After the day

Barclay James Harvest - Beyond The Grave - lyrics

We will survive beyond the grave
And as we sleep we will be saved
Life in its essence will endure
Whilst still on earth we can be sure
All our endeavours surely must return to dust
We will survive beyond the grave
And as we sleep we will be saved
Though storm and tempest ravage all
And all is darkness where we fall
Like brave explorers bold and free
We sail forever on the sea!!
Above the seven seas is one
The sea of life we drift upon
Our spirits living in the waves
Survive beyond the grave!

Barclay James Harvest - Blue John Blues - lyrics

Mystery is following me down that lonesome road
And I don't know my way, my way back home
There's someone on my shoulder and he will not share a load
And I don't know my way, my way back home
There's a certain something deep inside
Like a rolling sea or a river wide
As the orchestra starts playing
Get down Joe
You can see his face, you can feel his smile
Yeah, look down low and let the tears run wild
When the orchestra starts playing
Blue John's Blues
Think about me, girl, and the things I ain't said
I could not be sad, thinkin' 'bout the things that you do
While the folks around me sing on
Blue John's Blues
Band is swinging, people singing
Get down Joe
There's a place down home where people meet
They clap their hands and they stamp their feet
When the music starts and the band plays
Get down Joe
They sing out loud and they sing out clear
Turn your head round girl and you might just hear
And if you do then start down singing
Blue John's Blues
Think about me, girl, and the things I ain't said
I could not be sad, thinkin' 'bout the things that you do
While the folks around me sing on
Blue John's Blues
Band is swinging, people singing
Get down Joe
Take hold of John's blues (?)
Must be a thousand hues (?)
Blue John's Blues
Get back Joe
Take back all of your dough
You've got no place to go
Blue John's Blues
Get back now Joe
My sweetest girl that I ever had
She's drive any poor man bad
Blue John's Blues
Well my Ma and my Papa said, Son
You'll get the KB when you're not on the run (?)

Barclay James Harvest - Back To Earth - lyrics

I've been so sad since you went away
I've been so lost without you
I wanted to be there
I wanted to hold on and tell you
How much, how much i loved you
I never thought that this day would come
Never dreamed we'd have to part
And now that you're gone and there's only memories
It's left such a hole, hole in my heart
Whenever skies are cloudy and the raindrops fall
I pray that you'll be waiting to catch me when i fall
So many words that were left unsaid
So many things still to share
Amd through all the tears and all of the memories
I hope that you know how much i cared
Whenever skies are cloudy and the raindrops fall
I pray that you'll be waiting to catch me when i fall
I've been so sad since you went away
I've been so lost without you
I wanted to be there
I wanted to hold on and tell you
How much, how much i loved you
I never thought that this day would come
Never dreamed we'd have to part
And now that you're gone and there's only memories
It's left such a hole, hole in my heart

Barclay James Harvest - African - lyrics

Through the eyes of a child
There's no wrong or right
No reason to hate
No need for a fight
No colour, no creed
No malice, no greed
Till the child becomes a man
Give up your freedom
Hand back your rights
Then change your colour now
You're black not white
And there'll never be a piece of the action
Now you're an african
Forget beliefs and swallow your pain
You're just a number now
And boy's your name
And you'll never get a piece of the action
Now you're a working man
African, asian, it's all the same
Brown, black, caucasian
It's all the same
Slave labour, working class
What's in a name?
Far left, far right, centre
It's power they crave
The politics of apartheid
The politics of shame
The cold abuse of human rights
Of torture and of pain
Are only part of the action
When you're an african
The politics of making more
The politics of greed
The cold abuse of poverty
To keep your labour cheap
Are only part of the action
When you're a working man
African, asian, it's all the same
Brown, black, caucasian
It's all the same
Slave labour, working class
What's in a name?
Far left, far right, centre
Far left, far right, centre
Far left, far right, centre
It's power they crave
The politics of buying arms
When there's no food to eat
The politics of digging gold
Instead of planting seeds
The leader with his private golf course
And his flashy cars
Sits playing with his diamond wrist watch
While the people starve
The politics of shooting down
A plane that brings relief
By fat men playing power games
Who've got enough to eat
The politics of racial hate
The politics of war
The men who sell the guns have fun
While we all count the score
One, two, three, four
Thousands, millions
People dying just to keep
Them in the action
Through the eyes of a man
There's wrong and there's right
A reason to hate
There's need for a fight
There's colour, there's creed
There's malice, there's greed
When the child becomes a man

Barclay James Harvest - Alright Down Get Boogie - lyrics

Disco la risco
Latin surprise
Dance floor a go-go
Satin and thighs
Coke a la cola
Flashing her eyes
Get down get with it
Nights, boogie, lights
Get down boogie alright
Mu ala rusic
Cool out o sight
Heaven in high heels
Hell in black tights
Move ala groovin'
Flashing her lights
Get down get with it
Nights, boogie, lights
Get down boogie alright
Rock ala rolla
A slip and a slide
Move a bit closer
Whisper you're nice
Booga la rooga
Don't give me that jive
Get down get with it
Nights, boogie, lights
Get down boogie alright

Barclay James Harvest - Ra - lyrics

Burning fiery furnace in the sky
Burns the ground around us where we lie
Sad old black-faced thunder will you rise
Bring your cloud and shadows to our eyes
Blazing star in heaven, mirror bright
Dry our seas and rivers with your light
Universal sentinel you are
Guide of all who look on from afar
Blazing ra
God of old now broken and defaced
Punish all who've fallen from your grace
You whose power leaves the depeest scar
Mystic eye of heaven, amun ra

Barclay James Harvest - A Matter Of Time - lyrics

It's a matter of time before we know
If you follow the signs, let your feelings show
Oh babe, you've got nothing to lose
We can talk for a while and that's all right
I can see in your eyes what you feel inside
You don't know what you've been doing
Leave me standing here
We are on the edge of reality
We've gone too far
Not the way that it's meant to be
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's a matter of time before we say
We got out of line looking for the way
Oh babe, you've got something to hide
You can stay for a while and that's all right
I see in your smile what you feel tonight
You don't know what you've been doing
Leave us standing here
We are on the edge of reality
We've gone too far
Not the way that it's meant to be
It's a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
Are you really looking for someone
Who'll turn you on
And always be around you?
Take another look and you will see
That i will be waiting
It's a matter of time
It's a matter of time
Oh babe, it's just a matter of time

Barclay James Harvest - A Tale Of Two Sixties - lyrics

I'm hitting the road to heading nowhere
Got no place to go
I'm stuck inside my generation
Round and round I go.
I'm sick of the sound of Rolling Thunder
Times they were a-changing
And Rock'n'Roll died with Easy Rider
Tearing up my traces.
David Bowie was Hunky Dory
Aladdin quite insane
Give the sound of Arthur Lee with
Forever Changes, I'll remember
And more again, don't leave me ever
Buddy Holly said, "Baby, please be mine"
All the time.
I'm cutting out now before the New Wave
Takes my surf board flair
Remember the time when Zappa said
"Punk, where you going with that
Flower in your hair?"
There's so many who's who's, Rolling Stones,
Rod Stewards and Small Faces
And Tommy's the King of Pinball flings
That chases my generation.
David Bowie was Hunky Dory
Aladdin quite insane
Give the sound of Arthur Lee with
Forever Changes, I'll remember
And more again, don't leave me ever
Buddy Holly said, "Baby, please be mine"
All the time
