HURDY GURDY MAN 
(Donovan)

Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I opened my eyes to take a peep
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquility

'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man 
came singing songs of Love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
came singing songs of Love

Hurdy Gurdy Hurdy Gurdy 
Hurdy Gurdy Gurdy he sang
Hurdy Gurdy Hurdy Gurdy 
Hurdy Gurdy Gurdy he sang
Hurdy Gurdy Hurdy Gurdy 
Hurdy Gurdy Gurdy he sang

Aa-a-hah!

Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity

'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man 
comes singing songs of Love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man 
comes singing songs of Love

Hurdy Gurdy Hurdy Gurdy 
Hurdy Gurdy Gurdy he sang
Here comes the Roly-Poly man 
and he's singing songs of Love
Roly-Poly Roly-Poly 
Roly-Poly-Poly he sang
Hurdy Gurdy Hurdy Gurdy 
Hurdy Gurdy Gurdy he sang

Hurdy Gurdy Hurdy Gurdy 
Hurdy Gurdy Gurdy he sang
Roly-Poly Roly-Poly 
Roly-Poly-Poly he sang
Here comes the Roly-Poly man 
and he's singing songs of Love
Here comes the Hurdy Gurdy man 
and he's singing songs
of Love

Of Love
Songs of Love
Of Love
Songs of Love

La-la-la-la-la-love
La-la-la-la-la-love
La-la-la-la-la-love
La-la-la-la-la-loove

HURDY GURDY GLISSANDO

So I could see just what I had to do
To get this feeling in my heart to you
To rise and rise into the crystal spheres
And bring the music to the peoples' ears
From the Holy Electricity.

The Hurdy Gurdy turns around and round
It tunes our auras to the astral sound
That melts into the Universal Om
That leads us back into our long lost home
Within the One Vibration.

We're searching for that Happy Harmony
To melt the barriers in you and me
To sing of our eternal destiny
Upon this spinning planet
Here and Now
To open our eyes
And dry our tears
And smile and say
It's Real!

The answer was there all the time
Hidden in the music.

Oh! 
To Love the Light of Love, 
to Love the Light
the Light of Love, 
to Love the Light
the Light of Love,
to Love the Light
the Light of Love.

When you're climbing higher!

	
ELECTRICK GYPSIES

This world is waking up 
into the New Age revelation
Our spirits are responding 
to the raising of vibration
We'll use the latest sciences 
to aid our inner souls
To set the wheels of Love and Light 
a-rolling down the road.

So who's gonna be an electrick gypsy
I wanna see the electrick gypsies.

The gypsy life returns again 
in a form that's very new.
With motor-vans, electrick sounds, 
and the colours of the Rainbow,
We'll open up the old straight tracks 
and fertilize the earh.
Rediscover the healing sound 
and ride the psychic surf.

So who's gonna be an electrick gypsy
I wanna see the electrick gypsies.

We're not forever travelling

We also need to base ourselves
To build the temples of the Electrick Age
Where our souls can grow.
The healing sound is coming 
and the peoples' ears are open
Soon the world will see and hear 
the truths which can't be spoken
We're looking for adventurers 
to come and share the vision
To travel across This Holy Earthe 
upon a special mission.

So who's gonna be an electrick gypsy
I wanna see the electrick gypsies.

And on those special occasions
When we hit that cosmic chord
The spirit of the Holy Octave
Comes passing through to you.

We're talking of the labours 
and the work that must be done
To purify, to sanctify, 
to stand inside the sun
To enter in the Pyramid, 
to conquer all our fears
To light the blazing lamp of love 
and shine it bright and clear.

So who's gonna be an electrick gypsy
I wanna see the electrick gypsies.

LUNAR MUSICK SUITE 
(The song of Levanah the Wise)

The Silver Moon is rising in the sky
Isis is calling Osiris.

The tides are rising in our hearts and minds
Lover and Beloved are One.

And so we find the source of inspiration
Born of the star-light.
The Golden Pyramid opens up
So all of us can see -
The way to be the way to free the energy
All we need to know -
The ebb and flow our lives and how they come and go.

Its growing
The spark of light inside of us is glowing.
The moon is full tonight.

	
ITS ALL TOO MUCH 
(George Harrison)

When I look into your eyes
Your love is there for me
And the more I go inside
The more there is to see.

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
And everywhere it's what you make
For us to take - its all too much.

Floating down a stream of time
From life to life with you and me
Makes no difference where you are
Or where you'd like to be.

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
And all the world is birthday cake
So take a piece but not too much.

Sail me on a silver sun
Till I know that I'm free
Show me that I'm everywhere
But get me home for tea.

It's all too much for me to take
The love that's shining all around you
And everywhere it's what you make
For us to take - it's all too much.

Ooh! it's Too Much! 
Ooh! it's Too Much!
You're too Much 
Ooh - we are dead!
