1. _ Dear Eloise
(clarke / hicks / nash)
Dear eloise, i am writing to say
A number of funny thing i heard today.
I heard that he's left you and run off to sea.
Could be the best thing that's happened to me.
Writing a letter to make you feel better.
Sorry to hear that he left you that way.
I could have told you, he was much older,
So much older than you.
You rushed blindly, he treated you kindly
Until he found out what he could get from you.
You should have departed before he got started.
Now you've been burned just like i said you would.
Please read my letter closely.
It's beneficial, too.
You must read in-between the lines,
A message you will see.
If you use your mind, you'll find
I want you back with me.
Verse 2
So much older than you, so much older than you.
Chorus

2. _ Charlie And Fred
(clarke / hicks / nash)
He rides on his horse and cart, charlie does.
Working from six until nine.
Collecting old rags and used bicycles,
Old iron of description of any kind.
Here comes charlie, charlie the ragman.
Throw out your old clothes for charlie and fred.
Earning a living off things we've discarded.
Earning enough for the board and the bed.
You hear him shout "rags and old iron."
Everyone knows him that way.
Once a week, they come 'round calling.
How long it's been, i can't say.
Chorus
They live all alone in a hovel.
He puts his money away.
Taking enough to just live on,
And at the end of the day
He's saving enough
To put fred out to graze.
(repeat)
Has anyone seen charlie lately?
Charlie just ain't been around.
Everyone's seen fred is grazing,
Chewing the grass from the ground.
Children say charlie is happy
Giving balloons to the angels instead.
Where is charlie, charlie the ragman?
Don't throw your clothes out.

3. _ Try It
(clarke / hicks / nash)
Travel by the silver line
To a place that has no time.
Why don't you try it now?
Working hard to see the light,
Let your mind take up in flight.
Why don't you try it now?
It's beautiful, seeing all the colors of the rainbow,
Beautiful, covering the people that we know.
See the color of health
Flowing from your older self.
Why don't you try it now?
Living good, stopped playing games,
Traveling the astral planes.
Why don't you try it now?

4. _ Maker
(clarke / hicks / nash)
Days of yellow saffron.
Nights with purple skies.
Melting in the sunbeams
From my maker's eyes.
Mountain-colored lilac
In the distant haze.
I would like to lie here,
Timing all my days
Move past my window,
Sunshine is shimmering
Jack-o-lanterns glimmering,
Giant moths are flickering around.
See, the moon is hiding
Underneath the sea.
Pretty soon he'll venture
To take a look at me.
So i humbly stand here
Beneath his golden glow.
Doesn't he remind me
Of somebody i know?
I must be leaving,
Back to reality.
Don't you just pity me?
I could so easily stay here.

5. _ Step Inside
(clarke / hicks / nash)
Side, step inside.
You can knock on my door anytime you're passing by
You don't need an invitation, step inside.
We'll have tea and crumpets toasted by the fireside.
You don't need an invitation, step inside.
Step inside my doorway. there's no admission fee at all.
If you're in the neighborhood, you only have to call.
I'll be glad to see you, it just cannot be denied.
It's been a long time since i held you, step inside.
Don't tell your mother about me.
She'll only get angry knowing you've come back.
What her heart can't see can't hurt her.
So take my hand and step inside, take my hand and step inside.
Don't tell your mother about me.
You know she'll only get angry knowing you've come back.
What her heart can't see can't hurt her.
So take my hand and step inside, take my hand and step inside.
If it gets too late, i have a bed that you can use.
You don't need an invitation
If you feel the inclination
You just call on speculation.
Step inside.
Side, step inside.
Step inside.
Step inside.
Step inside.

6. _ Postcard
(clarke / hicks / nash)
When sand's close at hand
And the sea is touching me,
I feel much happier
Than i've ever felt. and a long time goes by
And i'm floating in the sky.
And i wish you could be,
Wish you could be here.
And if you're free, follow me
Throw a pebble in my sea.
The sun will wrap you up
In a pool of gold, and lights in the night
In the night reaching neon waves of sight.
But
I wish you could be,
Wish you could be,
Wish you could be here.
The sun, the sand, the sea are waiting
On the corner. take a trip out here.
Hustle, bustle, shove and fuss
Will greet you if you stay there.
I'm without a care.
Fresh fruit and sea fish,
Are in abundance here.
But they don't allow
The natives at your door
Selling booze
Smuggled from another shore.
And
Chorus
Verse 3

Postcard, postcard, postcard.

7. _ Pegasus
(clarke / hicks / nash)
Follow me, follow, see what you see.
I'll take somewhere where you've never been.
High on a mountain, deep down in the sea,
To faraway lands, you can travel with me.
I'm pegasus, the flying horse.
I'm pegasus, the flying horse.
Ride on my back and hold onto my wings
I'll take you by night to a time-leaping dream.
Time has no value where we're going to
People are happy; there, they're never blue.
Chorus
This can only happen to you
If you keep our secret.
Don't tell anyone about our magic horse.
You can go where you want, i can take you anywhere.
Because i'm pegasus, the flying horse.
I'm pegasus, the flying horse.
Chorus
Verse 1

I'm pegasus, the flying horse.

8. _ Away Away Away
(clarke / hicks / nash)
I couldn't leave you if i tried.
There would be no place i could hide
Away away away from you.
When we are walking hand-in-hand,
Throwing a shell across the sand.
It's grand, so grand, to hold your hand.
Nobody there except the two of us,
Diggin' what we see.
Wouldn't it be so nice to drag your feet
In the edge of the sea?
So we are staying where we are.
All of our problems seem so far
Away away away away.
Chorus
Verse 3

9. _ Wishyouawish
(clarke / hicks / nash)
Singing, singing in the sunshine
The countryside's mine.
If i keep on singing, you'll follow behind.
Tripping, tripping down the highway,
No cares in my mind.
As long as i'm going, they'll follow behind.
I got no cares in my mind,
Got no place to go,
But still i don't mind
'cos it's nice.
Picking, picking up the daisies,
I'm making a chain.
If anybody breaks it, we'll start it again.
Chorus
Gazing, gazing down into the water.
I'm diggin' the fish.
I'll throw in a penny to wish you a wish.
Verse 1 (wish you a wish ...)

10. _ Would You Believe
(clarke / hicks / nash)
Don't laugh in my face.
You're making me feel small.
I'm all rags wrapped in lace.
Compared with you i'm nothing.
Would you believe i'm in love with you?
Would you believe i'm in love,
And i can't help myself?
I once tried to touch you,
But i could never reach your height.
You're way above me.
It seems so useless somehow.
Chorus
Wandering around
With this maddening obsession you have over me.
Just wandering around,
Oblivious to everything that's going on.
One thought in my mind
Keeps pounding through my brain.
I've got to make you see how i love you.
My life is yours; i live for you,
And i can't help myself.
Chorus
Would you believe i'm in love with you?
Would you believe i'm in love?
Would you believe i'm in love with you?
Would you believe i'm in love?

11. _ Butterfly
(clarke / hicks / nash)
We met on the shore of a lemonade lake.
Weeping willows looked down where we lay.
Orange blossoms i smell in your hair.
Butterfly, flutter by, butterfly by.
Waterfalls send your ripples to us
Here on the shore of the lemonade lake.
Pond lilies play hide and seek with the fish.
Rabbit run, run rabbit, rabbit run by.
Roaring mountain is standing close by,
Covered with snowdrops and glistening with dew.
I hear the sound of a small hummingbird.
I took your hand and i waltzed off with you.
Come to the top of the mountain with me.
Jump on a cloud and we'll float to and fro.
Seeing the countryside covered with grass
And the top of the mountain with candy-floss and snow.
Butterfly lazily drinking the sun,
Lavishly sprinkled and painted with gold.
Here in the land of the mist and the lake,
Me and my true love will never grow old.

12. _ Elevated Observations?
(clarke / hicks / nash)
On top of a hill is a nice place to be at,
Diggin' the country for miles around.
Watchin' the people like ants on a hillside,
Running around, running around.
So far below me i see the confusion,
Small-minded men with their small-minded wives.
If they could see themselves where i am standing,
They'd alter their lives, alter their lives.
And i'm so high up i touch the sky.
And i'm so high up i touch the sky.
Climb up here, jump up here,
Skip up, or run up.
Get up here somehow 'cos you'll find your head.
Finally finding the level you're after.
Ego is dead. ego is dead.
And i'm so high up i touch the sky.
And i'm so high up i touch the sky.
Wish they'd start using the path of tomorrow.
There's only way up and one way down.
Decide for yourself on the path you'll be taking
When you look down, down and around.
And i'm so high up i touch the sky ...
