Lyrics
Life in slow motion
Feet are in the clay
I'm goin' nowhere
Been standin' here all day

I had a notion
There was somethin' more to do
As I watched the water
From the banks of the river, it swelled and grew

And I tilt to the left
Lean to the right
Tilt to the left
Lean to the right

Walked on coal
And slept on glass
Amid swords of sap
And daggers of light

And my heart is screamin'
'Cause half of what I say is lies
And it takes so much to keep up this disguise

It takes so much to keep up this disguise

I see a doorway in the haze
And I'm tryin' to get to it

The stars are peep holes in a wall
But we can walk thru it

The memory's still so real
The memory's still so real

I guess it's never really over
Even when it's over

I'm vibrating with love and light
Pulsating with love and light
In a world gone mad a world gone mad
There must be something more than this

I'm vibrating with love and light
Pulsating with love and light
In a world gone mad a world gone mad
There must be something more than this

The trumpet call is sounding
The trees are bending low
There's a great fire in the distance
There must be something more than this

And our shadows will all be dancing
With red dust on our clothes
When we leave that tornado
Upwards in the clouds and feel the sky

I'm vibrating with love and light
Pulsating with love and light
In a world gone mad a world gone mad
There must be something more than this

We're vibrating with love and light
Pulsating with love and light
In a world gone mad a world gone mad
There must be something more than this

whoaaooooooooooooo

{ High-energy Piano solo }

And they're vibrating with love and light
Pulsating with love and light
In a world gone mad a world gone mad
There must be something more than this

We're vibrating with love and light
Pulsating with love and light
In a world gone mad a world gone mad
There must be something more
There must be something more .........


There's gotta be something more than this ( repeat 7x )

Cor! From 1962 and all - one would expect such to have lapsed by now. Still, makes up for much that can't be viewed in the UK.

@Mock Turtle , no-worries

I'll find those songs some other way.

This is the best I could find. It;s beautiful... Hope they are the same songs:

Great choices. perfect, If I may be so bold...

From the same review - Wait A Minim - which I saw about three times or more in London. Quite surprised that it actually played in South Africa before it toured.

@Mock Turtle ,

Here is arguably one of my favs. "Heart full of Love" I'm a hopeless romantic.... , and who doesn't like Andrew Lloyd Webber?

Start at approx 1:10 to skip the operatic stanzas and go straight to the song. ( Basically: for those who don't know the story, it's a love triangle described so beautifully. )

changing the tone a little now...

smooth introspective is what I'm going for...

Didn't know Eddie could sing. Not seen this but did see the TV series here in UK with Lily Collins as Fantine. I think we had a decent radio version here long ago too. I can probably count the musicals I know and love on one hand, but then it's probably only two hands for those that I have actually listened to. An early girlfriend had me listening to the King and I, Oklahoma, and South Pacific if I recall correctly, but I was more into Jazz then. Didn't last long and shame because she was one of the nicest girls I've ever met.

KIng&I, Oklahmomah, South Pacific, all of those are Rogers and Hammerstein, if I recall. Big different here with Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Andrew Lloyd Webber's work is ... brilliant.

For his early work, look for "Chess" ( 1970-ish ). For later work, "The Phantom of the Opera" ( 1986, i think ). Les Miserables is in the middle just before Phantom in 1985, I think.

But I also encourage you to see LesMis if you have the opportunity. I've seen it live 5-6 times. Anytime It comes to town, I go. I've been front center 20 rows from the stage, and I've also had seats in the nosebleeds. It doesn't matter. The music and the story is powerful no matter where you sit in the audience.

I must admit to never having been to see a live musical (apart from Wait A Minim, which was more a review), even when I was living in London, but I did go to see many other live shows. Not so easy now that I live away from any large cities. I like a few songs from The Phantom but must admit I have probably not listened to so many others unless they have become so popular as to be played on the radio or on TV. I'll have a peek at his work.
