The Cross - Celebration

Unreleased demo from The Cross, well known as a recording from Roger's Strange Frontier sessions, but Clayton Moss has set the record straight on where this came from in the comments.

Lyrics:
Do you close your mind?
Do you hide your eyes?
Do you turn away 'cos it must be lies?
It ain't luck it's only in the hands of fate
We're happy in the world so celebrate

Celebration
Easy on me
For the chosen ones
Celebration

Look around you
See what happens
When the people get no satisfaction
Too many others got more than their need

You can have it
If you want it
Take a share and we can build an army
Hand it to your brother sold and see

Celebration
Easy on me
For the chosen ones
Celebration

Make excuses
Explanations
A million reasons for the situation
Can you stand to watch the hunger and the greed

Celebration
Easy on me
For the chosen ones
Celebration
It's a new day
Feel it calling
Now the time has come
Celebration

You start to live when you start to believe
That your heart has no colour or creed
Don't let it lie
Don't let it die
Let it bleed

Listen and you believe when it's on TV
The crime and the dying and the misery
But you should work, you should sleep
And live in your life so pure and sweet

It's no good saying 'what can I do'
There's too many people in the world like you
You gotta do it now 'cos it's getting late
Don't you want the world to celebrate

Celebration
Easy on me
For the chosen ones
Celebration
It's a new day
Feel the calling
Now your time has come
Celebration

Don't you want the world to celebrate?
Don't you want the world to celebrate?
Don't you want the world to celebrate?
Don't you want the world to celebrate?
Don't you want the world to celebrate?
Don't you want the world to celebrate?
Don't you want the world to celebrate?
Don't you want the world to celebrate?

This is a Cross song ,probably from the Jam recording sessions ,Peter Noone on outro vocal ,the main writer was Spike Edney ,

[DaveRFuller]

I had a feeling it was a Cross song. Thanks for the info Clayton.

[burkezillar]

I swear at the end the guy whos singing is a guy out of the cross.

[DaveRFuller]

Yeah, it sound a lot like Peter Noone, it could be a Cross track, but most sources say its from '84.

I'd guess it's a Schecter ,certainly looks like one

[bringmichansmeer]

Gigantische Aufnahmen - Super !!

One of my favorites - song cool

[pcm266]

I've never understood the fan transcriptions of the lyrics of this song. One version said "easy lonely" wtf? Makes zero sense. This one has "easy on me" and none makes any grammatical sense with the rest of the lyrics.

Now how about

Celebration

Is it only?

for the chosen ones

Celebration

Am I seriously the only one who hears these lyrics this way. Sorry, just a detail about this particular song hat has bothered me for several years now.

[WuXTUBE]

Electric!

[burkezillar]

If I was ever good at tabbing songs, I'd so do a cover of this song!!!!
