Uriah Heep - Salisbury
LYRICS

Somewhere in your eye, that very special glow.
Something drawing me, to where, I do not know.
I never really thought that I would lose myself.
But now I'm going faster than anybody else.
You move without a sound, touch me with your hand
just like the rain that fondles every grain of sand.
This thing we're gonna do, it's just for you and me.
I'm gonna make it good, good as it can be.
Your kiss is sweeter now, your breath is getting warm.
We must take our time and last it through till dawn.
I wonder will it be? Oh, I expect it to.
There have been other girls, but no one else like you.
I feel a power here I've never felt before.
And I begin to see what drives us to want more.
Oh god of all my dreams, please tell me if I'm wrong.
Because I think you have been in love.
As time past, and all too fast, I just knew it couldn't last.
And I guess that the end was near at hand.
Oh we tried our love inside, it just crumbled up and died.
What went wrong I will never, never understand.
You tell me why.
Alone again - how could you leave me.
Alone again - I don't want to be.
Alone again - yeah!
There's a line, in a rhyme, I was going to send to you.
It says: All that is to be will surely be.
So, though you had to go 'cause you needed someone new,
is there still a chance that you'll come back to me?
I want you back you see.
Alone again - how could you leave me.
Alone again - I don't want to be.
Alone again - yeah!
Somewhere in your eye, that very special glow.
Something drawing me, to where, I do not know.
I never really thought that I would lose myself.
But now I'm going faster than anybody else.
You move without a sound and touch me with your hand
just like the rays that fondle every grain of sand.
This thing we're gonna do, it's just for you and me.

40 years ago underground/ progressive rock started to loose its way and run out of ideas, so a lot of bands started using wind and brass instruments in their compositions. The idea never took off and the rock scene metamorphosed into punk. this album was one of prog rocks last attempts at a new sound and it will live forever in the hearts of those that were there at the time

[redcarpdog]

@ALIONTOS80 . you could have said it in one word my friend..."Masterpiece" ! been listening to this sone for over 30 years and it still amazes me.

[ALIONTOS80]

What a strange song! So many different melodies in one masterpiece!

[rollsie51]

you don,t realise at the time how briliant this song is,i know it,s been out for 40 years ,but it hasn,t aged a bit,really timeless,a real classic,i just wish i could go back to 1971,for a few hour,s just to say hello to a few friend,s who i don,t see any more

@alex59ba Have we succeeded? We think so. Before long we shall have covered with our narratives an enormous period of time; between the "Comtesse de Salisbury' and the "Comte de Monte Christo" five centuries and a half are compresed. Well, we assert that we have taught France as much history about those five centuries and a half as any historian.---this quote is from Alexandre Dumas in a book entitled The Companions of Jehu

@paulnbartley you are so wrong, rock never metamorphasised into punk, rock was still very much alive during the couple of brief years of punk, great albums were still been made rock bands were still playing to sell out audiences, as for rock and brass and woodwind etc it may not have been the big success hoped for but it worked, would have been really difficult taking a full symphony orchestra out on the road. Listen to Concerto for Group and Orchestra, Deep Purple and RPO, BRILLIANT
