Music Monday: Yes/Drama (Side 2)

Yeah I know it's been awhile for this too. All will be explained eventually. Side 1 was originally covered here. And now, finally back to Drama...

********************************************************************************

1) Into the Lens - For your inspection are two videos. One is the Yes version from Drama, and the other is the Buggles version a year later from Adventures in Modern Recording. Basically the same song in different styles.

Memories, how they fade so fast

Look back, that is no escape

Tied down, now you see too late.

Lovers, they will never wait.

I am a camera

Take heart, I could never let you go

And you, always let the feeling show

Love us all, how you never broke your heart

You lose them

If you feel the feeling start.

I am a camera, camera, camera

And you, may find time will blind you

This to just remind you

All is meant to be.

Here, by the waterside

There, where the lens is wide

You and me

By the sea

Taken in tranquility.

Taken, taken so easily

To pass into glass reality

Transform, to transfer, to energy.

Taken, taken, so easily

To pass into glass reality

Transformer, transferring energy.

2) Run Through the Light - Probably my least favorite on the album. Just doesn't do much for me.

I asked my love to give me shelter

And all she offered me were dreams

Of all the moments spent together

That move like never ending streams.

Run to the light

Everything is alright

Run thro' the light of day

You run to the light of night

And every movement made together

Till every thought was just the same

And all the pieces fit forever

In the game.

Welcome to the light

Now everything is okay

Run thro' the light of night

You run to the light of day.

3) Tempus Fugit - It means "time flies" and is one of the coolest songs on the album to me. Awesome lyrics and it has that cool "yes yes" part.

Born in the night
She would run like a leopard that freaks at the sight of a mind close beside herself
And the nearer I came
How the country would change, She was using the landscape to hide herself.

More in the mind than the body this feeling
A sense at the end of a circular line
That is drawn at an angle I see when I'm with you
To navigate waters and finally answer to-yes.

If you were there you would want to be near me
Innocence, you could hold all the materials
And though nothing would really be living
It would shock Your fall into landing light
In the north sky time flies fast to the morning
The cold of the dawn it meant nothing to us
You were keeping your best situation
An answer to-yes

(Yes, Yes) And the moment I see you
(Yes, Yes) It's so good to be near you
(Yes, Yes) And the feeling you give me
(Yes, Yes) Makes me want to be with you
(Yes, Yes) From the moment you tell me - yes

If you could see all the roads I have travelled
Towards some unusable last equilibrium
Run like an athlete and die like a dead beaten speed-freak
An answer to all of your answers to-yes

In the north sky time flies faster than morning
The cold of the dawn it meant nothing to us
You were keeping your best situation
An answer to Yes

(Yes, Yes) And the moment I see you
(Yes, Yes) It's so good to be near you
(Yes, Yes) And the feeling you give me
(Yes, Yes) Makes me want to be with you
(Yes, Yes) If we wait for an answer
(Yes, Yes) Will the silence be broken
(Yes, Yes) Should we wait for an answer
(Yes, Yes) Do we leave it unspoken
 (Yes Yes Yes Yes . . .)
