Description

NOTE: THIS IS A MIX, ALL TRACKS ARE MIXED/FADED INTO EACH ANOTHER, THERE ARE NO INDIVIDUAL TRACKS.



Greetings fellow music lovers! M. here bringing you another 'mix' of what "I believe" to be the best Angel and Manfred Mann's Earth Band work.



This mix has a pseudo story/concept/theme feel to it although given the lyrics, it's story appeal is disjointed at best.



Those of you who enjoy Rush's 2112/Caress of Steel may enjoy these 4 cuts from Angel though there is a decidedly more Styx feel/sound to their work than Rush.

(The rest of Angel's work has a Kiss/commercial feel to it that I feel lacks substance and do not care for. Apologies to all Angel fans, no offense intended)



The Manfred Mann songs are, what I believe to be, his best work and VERY psychedelic/acid rock in nature. Long gone are the days of Doo-wah-diddy!



Those of you who enjoy 'Blinded by the Light' (Springsteen) may or may not like this 'flavor' of Mann.



Well without further ado, I present the Angel - Mann Anthology.



As with 'Future Legend' all tracks are blended and some fading work needed to be done.



I hope you enjoy!



Comments would be appreciated, good or bad (preferably the former).



If you would like any of the original 'un-mixed' tracks let me know and I will post them for you.

ANGEL



TOWER



Wind is raw, the air is stale

On this cold winter's night

Sent alone to tell a tale

From the land of Delmite

Journey starts at the edge of town

With the stars as my guide

There's no one here but my empty thoughts

And the sword by my side



Chorus:

Just a light, from a tower

Burning on from dusk to dawn

Just a light, from a tower

Burning on from dusk to dawn



Sun is leaving the darkened clouds,

As it slips past the hills

Slow moon climbs way up in the sky,

Keeps the heavens so still

Come this far, though I know not why

Said the things I've been told

Greedy village that has sent me here

For its own pot of gold



Chorus:

Just a light, from a tower

Burning on from dusk to dawn

Just a light, from a tower

Burning on from dusk to dawn



Everywhere the wind did sail,

The castle lies just ahead

Blade is drawn, still I carry on

On my brow a cold sweat.

As I look there upon the hill,

There it stands so tall

Said that stone structured wall of gold,

Will heed the voice of us all.



Chorus:

Just a light, from a tower

Burning on from dusk to dawn

Just a light, from a tower

Burning on from dusk to dawn



Just a light, from a tower

Burning on from dusk to dawn

Just a light, from a tower

Stands the victor and his gold,

And that's all!!!



LONG TIME



Sitting in my old and dusty room

I tell myself that things will change

But you see, when I wake up from my dreaming

It's still the same,

I can't believe you've gone away

Writing letters by the candlelight

I look for words to bring you back

Can't you see it won't let go of me

Please let me be and set me free

'cause you see when I wake up from my dreaming

It's still the same

I can't believe you've gone away

Ooh, the tears that I hide

can't you see

it's been a long time

a long time

a long time

a long time

I'll try and realize you're gone

Tell myself that wanting you is wrong

No matter what I say or do

I've got to learn it's easy to forget you

Words won't stop the pain I have inside

Got to change the feelings that I hide

And now the only thing left to do

is to tell you

the only way I ever knew

how to survive

An empty room's become a marble tomb

And locked inside is all my pride

All my tears have run down through the years

I'm wanting more and more of you

I walk the streets

through the waking dream

I feel the lonely days,

the lonely nights,

won't stop the pain

It's been a long time

a long time

a long time

a long time



MARINER



I'm an old man on the sea,

Sailed the straits alone, my ship and me.

Wait each day for her last call,

The night will come and she will take it all



Take me where the winds have blown,

On an endless voyage home,

Where the albatross has flown.



Swabbed the decks both near and far,

Around the cape, my mate, and old Jack Tar.

Fought with Nelson side by side,

He's just a man with wits and some time to bide.



Take me where the winds have blown,

On an endless voyage home,

Where the albatross has flown.



La, la-la, la, la, la, la-la.

La, la-la, la, la, la, la-la.

La, la-la, la, la, la, la-la.

La, la-la, la, la, la, la-la.

La, la-la, la, la, la, la-la.



Just an old man on the sea,

Sailed the straights alone my ship and me

Wait each day for her last call,

Night will come and she will take it all.



Take me where the winds have blown,

On an endless voyage home,

Where the albatross has flown.



THE FORTUNE



Empty are the castle grounds when dusk arrives,

Silence echoes loudly, for three lives here.

Seagull, flying high above the open sky,

Flying high and free, past each wistful eye.



I brush my arms and legs,

I smash my withered face,

To show them I'm with no disgrace.

Deep in a padded cell,

They've locked me in this hell,

'Till dawn will ring the hangman's bell.



Burning are the hours left for me to share,

A cold and icy stare is all I bare.

Marching to my death, they'll hang me till I die.

Still I know I'll find where my fortune lies.



Chorus:

Voices in the air,

Leave me with a dream.

Crying of despair,

Can't you hear me scream?

Soon I'll say no more,

Only one last sigh,

As they pull the door,

There my fortune lies.



Solo



Repeat Chorus (2x)





MANFRED MANN'S EARTH BAND



THE ROAD TO BABYLON



By the waters of Babylon

We lay down and wept and

Wept for thee, Zion

We remember we remember we

Remember thee, Zion



A golden helmet blinded minds

Among ten thousand swords

Along the road to Babylon

A golden thunder silenced songs

Among ten thousand voices

On the road to Babylon



Well well well, beware that golden helmet

Well well well

There's no easy way to go

Well well well

No easy road to follow

Well well well ...



A golden ocean turned to fire

And burned ten thousand ships

Along the road to Babylon

Golden dreamer touched the sky

Alone in empty silence

On the road to Babylon



Well well well

Beware that golden thunder

Well well well

That dreamed and sang the song

Well well well

The empty sound of sorrow



WAITING FOR THE RAIN



Waiting for the rain

Waiting for the rain



You told me you were gonna make it

You told me you were gonna win

And I believed it was true

Yes I believed, I believed in you



There you go running through the alleys

Cant you see you're waiting for the rain

Look at you now wondering what you could be

You've had all the hard luck you can handle

Cant you see you're slipping down again



And I believed it was true

Yes I believed I believed in you



There you go you're running through thr fire

Cant you see you're nearthe danger zone

Look at you now hiding from the sunshine

You had all the hard luck you can handle

Cant you see you're slipping down again



You deserve the sunshine and not the rain

You deserve the rainbow you've had enough pain

I wanna see you win

And get it all

Hey I never see you fall



Cant you see

Waiting for the rain

Cant you see



Waiting for the rain



YOU ARE - I AM



You are - you are - you are [fading]

You are - you are [fading]



You are the moment Martha's mad man came out of the darkness



You are - you are -you are [fading]



The eye glass of the nearly blind



You are the foot print in the sand of Easter Island



You are - you are - you are [fading]



The fusion in the furnace of the sun



I am the captain cried across the lonely sea,

I am undoubtly what I'll be

I am the soldier sang across the lonely field

I am and I'll do whatever I feel.

You are the time between solar fire and the silence

You are - you are [fading]

You are the last chord in the symphony of the lost

You are the sign between the high road and the low road

You are - you are [fading]

You are the pen in the moving hand of time

You are the last post played by the Alamo soldier

You are - you are [fading]

You are a spaceman at the very edge of time

You are the single shaft of sunlight in the night time

You are - you are [fading]

You are the coolness in the very heat of the fire

You are the moment Martha's madman came out of darkness

You are - you are [fading]

You are the eyeglass of the nearly, nearly blind

You are, you are [Repeating] [Fading]



HOLLYWOOD TOWN



Down, down in Hollywood town,

The lost and found come to find their way,

Walking outside, feelings they hide,

Putting their pride through well known places,

Stepping on stars and shining on cars,

Passing by, their heads are high,

But their hearts are low down,

Dragging as they go,

Reaching out to those other faces.



Down, down in Hollywood town,

The good time sounds are heard all day,

But the night time's coming, you're on your own,

Looking for a place someone to share with,

Waiting in queues to hear the blues,

To find a way from the emptiness,

To be found inside of those who try,

To climb to the image of the TV good guy.



Stranger I know you,

We learned to walk together,

Lovers, wondering whether we really are.

I'd like to show you images of sister brother

Standing off from one another but not very far.



Down, down in Hollywood town,

The lost and found come to find their way,

Walking outside, feelings they hide,

Putting their pride through well known places,

Stepping on stars and shining on cars,

Passing by, their heads are high,

But their hearts are low down,

Dragging as they go,

Reaching out to those other faces.



Down, down in Hollywood town,

The good time sounds are heard all day,

But the night time's coming, you're on your own,

Looking for a place someone to share with,

Waiting in queues to hear the blues,

To find a way from the emptiness,

To be found inside of those who try,

To climb to the image of the TV good guy.



Down, down in Hollywood town,

The lost and found come to find their way,

Walking outside, feelings they hide,

Putting their pride through well known places,

Stepping on stars and shining on



ANGELS AT MY GATE



There's a finger on the dial,

The lucky wheel goes round,

Little joker knows he can't escape.

The same time every year,

The fun fair's back in town,

Numbers in the air like ticker tape.



58, 56, 54,

Good angels at my door.

63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58,

Good angels at my gate.



Throw a seven down,

Place another bet,

The joker laughs as the stakes get higher.

The gambler and the clown,

Without a safety net,

Balancing unsteady on a wire.



58, 56, 54,

Good angels at my door.

63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58,

Good angels at my gate.



There's a finger on the dial,

The lucky wheel goes round,

Little joker knows he can't escape.

The same time every year,

The fun fair's back in town,

Numbers in the air like ticker tape.



58, 56, 54,

Good angels at my door.

63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58,

Good angels at my gate.

59, 58, 57, 56, 55, 54,

Good angels at my door.

63, 62, 61, 60, 59, 58,

Good angels at my gate.

59, 58, 57, 56, 55, 54, [fading]



'BELLE' OF THE EARTH



The road is empty

Subway lies ahead

There's is no music

All the sounds have gone dead

The day is misty

There's no life around

Cause there's something wrong in this town

Out in the distance there's a simple sound

It comes it goes

Bell of the earth

Ringing like a tambourine

Calling right out of the silent places

Calling to me from the empty spaces

Core of the earth

Sinning like a violin

Calling right out of the silent places

Calling me



Out on the freeway

Silence of bounds

The crowed highway

Is making no sound

The limo driver

The endless new ways

For the long drive

Across the golden stay

Out in the distance there's a simple sound

It comes it goes

Bell of the earth

Ringing like a tambourine

Calling right out of the silent places

Calling to me from the empty spaces

Core of the earth

Sinning like a violin

Calling right out of the silent places

Calling me



DON'T KILL IT CAROL



This wild rose that I hold in my hand

It's the strangest thing I've seen,

One bud only just started to show,

And the leaves are the lightest green.

It's had it's share of the rain,

It needs some feeling to light it's fiery flame again,

But one cruel lie and it could die.



(Don't kill it Carol)

Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,

Don't kill it Carol.

Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,

Don't kill it Carol.



This wild rose that I hold in my hand,

It could grow to be so strong,

Born one night in the calm of the storm,

It was made for a rock and roll song.

It's only just seen the light,

It could so easily fall back to the gentle night,

But one cruel lie and it could die.



(Don't kill it Carol)

Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,

Don't kill it Carol.

Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,

Don't kill it Carol.



It's looking for a place to live outside all space and time,

Where there's no need for it to fade.

There's a secret garden that I think we can find,

Lot's of sunshine there's a touch of shade.



(Don't kill it Carol)



This wild rose that I hold in my hand

It's the strangest thing I've seen,

One bud only just started to show,

And the leaves are the lightest green.

It's had it's share of the rain,

It needs some feeling to light it's fiery flame again,

But one cruel lie and it could die.



(Don't kill it Carol)

Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,

Don't kill it Carol.

Oh Carol oh, won't you let this flower grow,

Don't kill it Carol.

[repeat to fade]



SINGING THE DOLPHIN THROUGH



Farewell Plymouth, your morning cold

and grey

Is painting shadows on my thoughts

And we're bound for nowhere



Joseph, I know you're trusting me to see

you right

And I know you can't stand the fighting

For one more night
