Moon Is Down (1971)

Gentle Giant
(from the album Acquiring The Taste)

And the horse riding up through the red skies
The moon is down
With a gold coloured bird through the cloud flies
The moon is down
Look East to the Sun, Oh where do they run
Look East to the Sun, Oh where do they run
They live in my dreams,
in my dreams, in my dreams

And the Moon and the Earth they were mating
The moon is down
And the Angels of hell they were waiting
The moon is down
Oh bride of the winds, Reward for their sins
Oh bride of the winds, Reward for their sins
They live in my dreams, in my dreams, in my dreams

There's a chaos of visions and voices
Sad is the laugh of the clown
now the old moon is down.

Black Moon

Emerson Lake And Palmer
(Keith Emerson, Greg Lake & Carl Palmer)

Listen to Black Moon (Midi Format)

Every day I see a new cloud coming
There's one more hole in space
Every time I walk across the street
I feel the gas blowing in my face
We never learn even deserts burn
And all politicians lie
They don't do nothing till we reach high noon
Black moon

Ain't nobody gonna walk on water
When it falls like acid rain
Nobody gonna fake you out
Every poison stains
We're all struck here right in the middle
We never call the tune
If we don't get active we'll become immune
Black moon

In the night see the red sky burning
There's fire on the mountain
Oil slicks on the sea
The black moon is rising
How long will it be

You take a look around the world
The future never waits
We're skating on the thin ice
And we're in the hands of fate
What we need's a little redirection
To find our blue lagoon
You know it wouldn't come a moment too soon
Black moon

Monkberry Moon Delight

by Paul McCartney
(From the Ram Album)

Listen to Monkberry Moon Delight (Midi Format)

Every day I see a new cloud coming
So I sat in the attic,
A piano up my nose,
And the wind played a dreadful cantata (cantata...).

Sore was I from the crack of an enemy's hose,
And the horrible sound of tomato (tomato...).

Ketchup (ketchup)
Soup and puree (Soup and puree),
Don't get left behind (get left behind)...

When a rattle of rats had awoken,
The sinews, the nerves and the veins.
My piano was boldly outspoken, in attempts to repeat its refrain.

So I stood with a knot in my stomach,
And I gazed at that terrible sight
Of two youngsters concealed in a barrel,
Sucking monkberry moon delight.

Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight.

Well, I know my banana is older than the rest,
And my hair is a tangled beretta.
When I leave my pajamas to Billy Budapest,
And I don't get the gist of your letter (your letter...).

Catch up! (catch up),
Cats and kittens (cats and kittens),
Don't get left behind (get left behind)...

Monkberry moon delight...
Monkberry moon delight..

Dancing On A White Moon

by Tangerine Dream (1987)
from the soundtrack "Shy People"

Dancing on a white moon with a twist like a century breeze
Moving through a typhoon, feel it sticking it's a cap on a dream
brother done what we learn
God had us start to roll.
Occasionally feeling, the rust of love in my soul.

You're not in my mind, don't need you.
Whatever love I can find, I won't need you.
With my emotional life.

Aimless dreams chase in my heart,
Feeling like a loser in an unknown game.
Walking just a fool in the backyard,
Getting wounded by the timeless jealous flame.
Touching my heart like a silver knife,
As if drawn in a newsprint cartoon.
Yelling for love!
While dancing on a white moon.

You're not in my mind, don't need you.
Whatever love I can find, I won't need you.
With my emotional life.

There's a freight train running through my brain,
A restless ego is a part of it's wheels.
Silver flashes harbored in the shame,
Burning all that my soul feels.
As the sun shines bright on both evil and good,
So let the Light of your eyes shine on me!
Respecting your way, yes I would,
Tied up by the rising tide of my dark sea.

You're not in my mind, well I need you.
Whatever love I can find, I will feed you.
Through this emotional life.

Again, you're not in my mind, well I need you.
Whatever love I can find, I will feed you.
Through this emotional life.
Through this emotional life.
Through this emotional life.
Through this emotional life.

Children of the Moon

by Alan Parsons
(from the albumn "Eye In The Sky")

Children Of The Moon Pay no attention to the writing on the wall
The words seem empty 'cause there's nothing there at all
We let the wise men beat the drums too soon
We were just children of the moon
None to turn to
Nowhere to run to even if we could

Too late to save us but try to understand
The seas were empty there was hunger in the land
We let the blind man lead the way too long
Easy to see where we went wrong
Nothing to live for
Nothing to die for

CHORUS
We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Lost inthe middle of a hopeless world
Children children of the moon watch the world go by
Children children of the moon are hiding from the sun and the sky
Children children of the moon watch it all go by
Children children of the moon are blinded by the light in their eyes
No one to turn to
Nowhere to run to even if we could

Follow the pilgrim to the Temple of the Dawn
The altar's empty and the sacrifice is gone
We let the madmen write the golden rules
We were no more than mortal fools
Nothing to live for
Nothing to die for

CHORUS
We're lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Lost in the middle of a hopeless world
Children children of the moon watch the world go by
Children children of the moon hiding from the sky

Harvest Moon

by Neil Young
(Silver Fiddle Music, 1992)

(Neil Young, Kenny Buttrey, Tim Drummond, Ben Keith,
Spooner Oldham and Linda Ronstadt)

Listen to Harvest Moon (Midi Format)

Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away

But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancing in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon

When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart

But now it's gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye

Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon

Moonlight Feels Right

Starbuck - 1976 (Bruce Blackman)

(©) Brother Bill's Music (ASCAP)

Listen to Moonlight Feels Right(Midi Format)

The wind blew some luck in my direction
I caught it in my hands today
I finally made a tricky frech connection
you winked and gave me your o.k.
I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
and drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
ain't nothing like the sky to dose a potion
the moon'll send you on your way
Moonlight feels right, moonlight feels right.

We'll lay back and observe the constellations
and watch the moon smiling bright
I'll play the radio on southern stations
'cause southern belles are hell at night
you say you came to Baltimore from Ole Miss
a class of '74 gold ring
the eastern moon looks ready for a wet kiss
to make the tide rise again
Moonlight feels right, moonlight feels right.

We'll see the sun come up on sunday morning
and watch it fade the moon away
I guess you know I'm giving you a warning
'cause me and moon are itching to play
I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
and drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
ain't nothing like the sky to dose a potion
the moon'll send you on your way
Moonlight feels right, moonlight feels right.
