Procol Harum - Shine On Brightly - 01 - Quite Rightly So

For you (whose eyes were opened wide
Whilst mine refused to see)
I'm sore in need of saving grace
Be kind and humour me
I'm lost amidst a sea of wheat
Where people speak but seldom meet
And grief and laughter, strange but true
Although they die, they seldom cry

An ode by any other name, yeah
I know might read more sweet
Perhaps the sun will never shine
Upon my field of wheat
But still in closing, let me say
For those too sick, yeah, too sick to see
Though not it shows, yes, someone knows
I wish that one was me

Yeah!

An ode by any other name, yeah
I know might read more sweet
Perhaps the sun will never shine
Upon my field of wheat
But still in closing, let me say
Yeah, for those too sick, too sick to see
Though not it shows, yes, someone knows
I wish that one was me

Though not it shows, yes, someone knows
I wish that one was me

Though not it shows, yes, someone knows

Procol Harum has the most magical chord changes, never too complex, but always perfect. Brooker = brilliant composer. Reid = Brilliant lyricist.

Thanks for taking the time to post the lyrics. It's a lot of work.

The only song of Procol Harum I particularly cared for...played it off my mom's copy of the LP in the early 1980s when I was on the cusp of ages 12-14.

I was workimg in California, but completely homeless.

I remember listening to this after I work...and I was walking through a field, just about to cross the railroad tracks. My routine was to cross, and sit on a tree stump and drink one beer. After that.....no structure, left to myself

A marvel!!

[GumatzPotrzebie]

One of my all time favorite bands which I saw many times back in the halcyon days of my youth. Thanks! PS Minor point: "Though not it shows" is actually "Though nothin' shows" - piddling detail.

While I doing radio in the late 60's and early 70's these guys got heavy play, no matter what the hour....just because they were that goddam good....

[STEAMMorrisler]

Hey! Just listen to aerosmith's song called Hole In My Soul. WTF?

[martianshoes]

These lyrics have been my personal theme since 1971.....
