The Moody Blues
Threshold (Decca), 1977
CD: Threshold 820 161-2
This album comprises 19 tracks. Tracks 1-14 were recorded live at the
Royal Albert Hall, London on 12th December 1969. The remaining five tracks
are from the studio, probably all tracks that were recorded for but which
failed to make the cut on a number of albums. Whilst I suggest which albums
they may have been intended for, do not rely too greatly on that.
When the contents of this album were recorded The Moody Blues comprised:
Justin Hayward, John Lodge, Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas & Graeme Edge.
No printed lyrics have been issued for this album. The texts for the
five studio tracks are my best interpretation from analysing the album.
I am happy with them. |
Album Contents
Gimme A Little Somethin'
My life is not as easy as you say.
My life is not anything but as the day.
My life is surrounded
By the things of the day
That have gone
My world is built on everything
That I want
Can be won.
Give me a little something to help me on my way.
Give me a little something to help me on my way.
Love, love.
My heart is not as cold as you can say.
My heart is not anything but as the day.
My heart is warm
By the way that you love
And are gone.
My life is founded
On the thought that we two
Are just one.
Give me a little something to help me on my way.
Give me a little something to help me on my way.
Love, love.
Give me a little something to help me on my way.
Give me a little something to help me on my way.
Give me a little something to help me on my way.
Give me a little something to help me on my way.

Please Think About It
There in your eyes I see
That you want to be free.
There by your side I'll be
If you still want me.
Please think about it.
I need your love,
I'm no good without it.
Please think about it.
Give me your love,
I can't live without it.
Oh no,
Never leave my side,
Baby please decide,
I'm in love with you,
I hope you want me too.
Don't go,
Say there's nothing wrong,
Stay where you belong,
I'll be good to you,
That's all I want to do.
Please think about it.
I need your love,
I'm no good without it.
Please think about it.
Give me your love,
I can't live without it.
Oh no,
Never leave my side,
Baby please decide,
I'm in love with you,
I hope you want me too.
Don't go,
Say there's nothing wrong,
Stay where you belong,
I'll be good to you,
That's all I want to do.
So if you have to go
I won't stand in your way,
But if you decide to stay
I will be your guide.
Please think about it.
I need your love,
I'm no good without it.
Please think about it.
Give me your love,
I can't live without it.
Oh no,
Don't go.

Long Summer Days
Long summer days
I keep thinking
What to do with my time.
So many ways
I keep singing
What's to do with my time.
[Take me back]
I don't mind
[Take me back]
I've got time
[Take me back]
And let me start again.
Time hurries by
I keep thinking
What's to do in our time.
Don't let it by
Just keep thinking
What's to do with our time.
[Take me back]
I don't mind
[Take me back]
I've got time
[Take me back]
And let me start again.
Utopia's within our sight,
Don't kick it or we'll lose it.
'Though you think the world's too fast
It's that way 'cause we choose it.
‘Automation!’ is the cry,
Our minds have been forgotten.
To understand me you must try,
My thoughts are turning rotten.
Oh please, please
Don't mess it up now for me.
Please, please
Don't sit there and condemn me.
Please, please, please.
Long summer days
I keep thinking
What's to do with my time.
So many ways
I keep singing
What's to do with my time.
[Take me back]
I don't mind
[Take me back]
I've got time
[Take me back]
And let me start again.
Long summer day

King And Queen
It's like awaking from a dream:
All I remember is the lullaby.
I couldn't tell you where I've been,
A thousand images just flutter by.
Taking my time in a white limousine,
If I was the king, she'd be my queen.
And my thoughts are growing louder
And my mind has lost its way
And the flames are getting higher
Every day.
My mind is back behind my eyes
And there, before me, sits a butterfly
And as I watch she gently cries:
Can there be anyone who'll pity her?
How many faces have all of you been?
If I was the king, she'd be my queen.
And my thoughts are getting louder
And my mind has lost its way
And the flames are getting higher
Every day.
My mind is back behind my eyes
And there, before me, sits a butterfly
And as I watch she gently cries:
Can there be anyone who'll pity her?
How many faces have all of you been?
If I was the king, she'd be my queen.
And my thoughts are getting louder
And my mind has lost its way
And the flames are getting higher
Every day.
And the flames are getting higher
Every day.
And the flames are getting higher
Every day.

What Am I Doing Here?
Hail the young squire who rose to fight,
To die at his master's side.
Living is just a dream inside.
You ask me why he cried
"What am I doing here?"
"What am I doing here?"
Beautiful princess, fair and pale,
Stares out across the sea.
Alone in her castle dark and grey
Her love she'll never see.
"What am I doing here?"
"What am I doing here?"
Tenderly bury the fair young dead,
Place a wooden cross at his head,
All the words you can say have been said,
It's for you my tears are shed.
What can be done? You won't believe,
Listen and you may see
Everyone's dream is deep within.
Find it and you'll be free.
"What am I doing here?"
"What am I doing here?"
Tenderly bury the fair young dead,
Place a wooden cross at his head.
Tenderly bury the fair young dead,
Place a wooden cross at his head.
