Spooky - I downloaded some of their stuff only last night. Didn't think anyone else had heard of them!!!

Did you know that they were named after the bakery that sponsored them.

Full of useless pish me :laughing:

World Became The World

Suitbly translated...

One of the most beautiful songs no-one knows.....

The World Became the World

Outside my window in the courtyard of the world

The gentle rain was falling.

No breath of wind, no cry of beast or bird

Too quiet, too still, I turned ...

To see the raindrops like a thousand poet's words

splash their circles on the stones,

And seem to wash over everything with love

And for a moment the courtyard heard.

Until the sun came bursting through the clouds

Hung up his rainbows in the sky

And with a laugh of flames said, "Now go chase the gold"

And the world became the world ...

Now we're all travellers some seekers

and some sought Who leave the courtyard to be caught

In nets of self, damned certainty and choice;

But do you believe our voice?

You ... you've got what must belong to me,

I need! I'll bleed for more possessions.

You ... you've got no right to disagree

Bow! Kneel! Or fear my aggresions.

Thank God if sometimes your oyster

holds a pearl When the world remains the world ...

Howazt :up:

I'll do the rest later...

....and if the site rules allow, I'll send you an MP3 of the studio version

Is that one of the clips?

The 2nd song on the 2nd link perhaps?

Or have you cheated and just posted Peter Sinfields english lyrics, which I think those are?:p

Things are confusing with this band as they have bothItalian and later on, english albums, the english albums feature re-recorded songs and sections and with Sinfields words.

Heh, listen to the first song in the mp3's, you'll hear the original version, words by the band themselves.

So in that footage, they are singing pete's english lyrics in Italian!? o_O I noticed the song had sections missing from it compared with the original.

Hi' date='

I recognised the song from the first bar - so their was no need to translate - the lyrics are from the studio version.

I don't recognise the other song, so it'll take longer.

Ps - who's Pete?[/quote']

Eek, which studio version?( There are three different ones!!!

Pete Sinfield wrote lyrics for the early King Crimson, then ELP, which is how he came to write english lyrics for PFM as they got signed to ELP's manticore label.

Did you listen to the mp3 I linked to?
