All those who sheltered in their smile Are scattered here from yesterday And if the weak are left behind They have to pay and though you haven't much to give You know they take it, yours and mine Sometimes it looks as though we lose But then in time the finger points at them The next in line The vultures fly high They circle over us all The lonely sigh I'll take your hand if you fall
While in the streets of all our fears They reign supreme as orders go They are the last to have their say And last to know it doesn't matter how you try It doesn't matter what you say They always watch with hollow eyes To put you down they always find a way to criticise The vultures fly high They circle over us all The vultures fly high I'll take your hand if you fall
the piano intro is taken from a greek song?? i remember we used to play this at school ... i doupt it was from Renaissance,they took it from somewhere ..
so very happy to find this...I still have my original vinyl - we used to play this one and "Ocean Gypsy" in between heavy metal songs/shows believe it or not - KMAC/KISS was fun during those days :)
I had an idea, Florence and The Machine ought to do a cover of this, 2011 style.
I managed to find a copy of this album on vinyl, the cover is in awful shape, but the vinyl is somehow almost perfect. It's one of my favorite of the vinyls I have. I highly recommend it.
@cril1001001 I bought it when I was in jr high or high school and still have it. It's a very good album and a bit off the norm of the type of music I was buying a lot in those days.
It's probably my favourite from Scheherazade anyway, short and sweet. This is not a particularly great performance, the version on BBC sessions is much better.
Love the way Annie Haslam moves. She has an angry expression at the end as if she was dissatisfied with the performance. You have to admire this band for virtuoso musicianship and sheer innovation.
Saw 'em in I guess '77 or '78 in Houston. Can't beat Annie's pipes for range and clarity. Always thought the band was a bit artsy-fartsy and self-involved for the material, though.
Here's a match made in heaven- Annie Haslam and Wishbone Ash!
I have seen many bass players over the years and none have impressed me more than this guy did way back then. Check out the vocals and simultaneous bass playing!

@cril1001001 I still have my vinyl copy and it is in great shape. The album jacket is undamaged except for the wear from being about 30+ years old.

@dourtan That's funny. I saw Al open for them, in Seattle, late 70's! Bit of a switch...

Annie looks p**sed at the end ..presumably with the sound engineer.. the volume was all over the place.

It´s true, John Camp is undoubtely one of the best bass players ever. I also like a lot John Perry, who played with Caravan
