Con questo secondo album, i Cales raggiunsero la loro piena identità artistica: votati definitivamente a una psichedelia solare e scorrevole, Throw Your Watch To The Water spinge su tastiere, armonizzazioni vocali e qualche escursione etnica. Seppur in un periodo di line-up instabile, Throw Your Watch To The Water chiude con entusiasmo gli anni migliori della band; da lì a un anno, tutto cambierà drasticamente.
Sulphureous Haze
These hills are dragging me in a
hot sulphureous haze
The sky is falling, i can't manage that for long
And you, where have you been?
We own the history,
or only a world of lies?
Another land is burning
i shall never forget.
And you, where have you been?
That godless fire up there,
will soon reach the sky
Sulphureous haze has gone,
but never leaves me.
That godless fire up there,
will soon reach the sky
My mates fought with the flames
I can't explain why
These memories
are blowin' me away
Sulphureous haze has gone,
but never leaves me.
Soul Mates
Up on the hill my feelings are lying still
And in the air the sound of love is strange and weak
Searching for who will complete my journey
In the white land the golden sunbeam isn't burning
Uuuuuuuh I close my eyes Uuuuuuuh
Here she comes, from the river Who thinks that we're happy together?
She is there, wondering why I'm alone, And what makes us happy, now?
Loving each other, living without a problem, being soul mates
The river is flowing down the hill side
The air is fresh and I have shivers down my spine
Silent dreams and feeble fantasies
I thought that somewhere there's a chance to innovate my life
Uuuuuuuh Over this world Uuuuuuuh
Here she comes, from the river Who thinks that we're happy together?
She is there, wondering why I'm alone And what makes us happy, now?
Loving each other living without a problem being soul mates
She told me she didn't love me
But it's so cold and cloudy today
To run away from my soul
So everybody's going to stay at home
Here she comes, from the river Who thinks that we're happy together?
She is there, wondering why I'm alone, And what makes us happy, now?
Loving each other, living without a problem, dancing on bad days being soul mates.
Peacock Girl
The pillow under my head is floating high in the space
And the clown tears are turning red
The dancer in her feathers suit is dancing over my bed
And in my mind she's fading away
Kaleiodoscopic tangerine dreams
That peacock girl hipnotise me
Golden ladies and Jesus Children memories of my time
The flower of the dead's alive
Krishna people and spaceship temples suspended in the sky
The winter wind blow out my life
My shelter is what I can see
That peacock girl is killing me
Over my dreams and far away
Over my dreams and far away
Brighter Days
Just lost the battle in
the windy forest
we're trying to save home
My friends and my division
are dead and lost, we
can't win anymore
I wanna live
brighter days
better life
We're not like you you fool
our clothes are made of feathers and silk
the gun is ready, sir (Shooooooooooot)
your captain sits and seems to be in a daze
Their army's in our town
try to get'em out
I wanna be free
I wanna live
brighter days
better life
Freedom is the greatest dream I have
and it's in the hands of someone who
use his people
like puppets on a game
We're not like you you fool
our clothes are made of feathers and silk
the gun is ready, sir (Shooooooooooot)
your captain sits and seems to be in a daze
The town is half destroyed (Shooooooooooot)
your leader sits and seems to be in a daze
Throw Your Watch To The Water
No space, no soil, no time
In my world the clock doesn't run
cos I've got a magic mind
In Granada there's no light
Everyone runs, out of time
Splendid visions in the sky
Devils and angels dance together
In the kingdom of the sun
Ecstasy of images tonight
My eyes turn back, the fire is alive
Metaphysical dynamic life
the future's not so very far
Everyone runs, out of time
Satan's visions in the sky
Devils and angels live together
In the kingdom of the moon
Colours Of The Mind
In the ruined houses
my memories decay
and a million voices
sound softly in my head
will a gentle music cures this
feeble minded man?
so I'm searching for something
that drives my thoughts away
like a hundred horses
that dash around all day
will another day be better than this?
I'll wake up and blow my pain away
colours of my mind someday
turn the world into love
with my head I'll fly from place to place
don't need wings or planes today
just let fly my mind out
No more ruined houses
just colours everywhere
not a skyscraper
that paints the town in grey
will a gentle music cures this
feeble minded man?
so I'm searching for something
that drives my thoughts away
like a hundred flowers
to gather up with care
will another day be better than this?
I'll wake up and blow my pain away
colours of my mind someday
turn the world into love
with my head I'll fly from place to place
don't need wings or planes today
just let fly my mind out
No other day will be better than this.
I Believe In Magic
Mr. Hotpeach
Mr Hotpeach is a sailor
He sails the seven seas on his own
People try to approach him
But there's no chance to see him
His boat is in rough water
Could he save his lonely life?
Mr Hotpeach is in danger
His only safety is a rope
Trying to keep the balance
Close to the edge, he falls (Raddoppiato rispetto alla bozza)
He's drowning in rough water
Could he save his lonely life?
Here It Comes The King Of Water
He has the Power to kill you
He died in rough water
He didn't save his lonely life (sul solo)
Here it comes the King of Water
He has the Power To kill you
Here it comes the King Of Water
He has the Power to kill you
Mr. Hotpeach was a sailor
He sailed the seven seas on his own
Empathy
Don't know what can hide your darkest past
Your hope can sublimate those days
And we will make the brightest view
Let those shields lie down on the floor
And breath what comes
Those tears are gone, and i will
Feed your soul with spoonful
Of this impalpable
Empathy
In new warm colours
You can see your days
Made by this impalpable
Empathy
Don't matter how much time it takes
You read me like an open book
Made by words we've always dreamed
Made by our empathy
Some Warm Trails
Picture creatures passing by
On a flower in the sky
Calling people in the night
Velvet ashes paining me
Purple killer in the street
He goes on the edge
In the wood the red king's rise
Thinking he has a good wife
Sadness floating in her eyes
He is not the only one
To be loved and
He's so mad to think
That She's so happy
She says that she's feeling blue
Evil powers in the school
In a pocket of the sky
Eagles flying very high
Uuuuoouoooohhhh A-a-a-aaah
Some Warm Trails
She says daddy's gone so far
Left his house and his car
In a corner of the sky
He is flying very high
Uuuuoouoooohhh A-a-a-ah
Some Warm Trails
Around her
Around her
Picture creatures passing by
On a flower in the sky
Calling people in the night
Velvet ashes paining me
Purple killer in the street
He goes on the edge
She says that she's feeling blue
Evil powers in the school
In a pocket of the sky
Eagles flying very high
Uuuuoouoooohhhh A-a-a-aaah
Some Warm Trails
She says daddy's gone so far
Left his house and his car
In a corner of the sky
He is flying very high
Uuuuoouoooohhh A-a-a-ah
Some Warm Trails
Imaginary Journey
Here, under the rain
Colours are all the same
You're lost and you can't find your own
Way out
There is the red king
He knows all the ways
But he had lost his soul long time ago
Aaaaaah
You're lost and you can't find your own
Way home
Aaaaaah
His soul is back to scare you, you won't go
You Look in his eyes
He looks in Your mind
Whatever you can see is back in time
There over the hills
You see the shining sun
And he disappear, he was not real
Aaaaaah
You feel a strange feeling, you understand
Aaaaaah
Now you're awake, and it was a dream
See Tomorrow's Shores
See tomorrow's shores, flying high
Above these dusty ruins, uuuuh
Let's leave behind our faults
I can hear the warmth of waves, uuuuh
How could you forget our bright past?
Feel the rain that cleaning your soul
Daylight soon will light our faces
If you wait with me
See the neew home embrace our lives
above those dusty ruins, uuuuh
Let's leave behind our faults
I can feel the warmth of waves, uuuuh
How could you forget our bright past?
Feel the sun that heat your soul
Daylight always light our faces
If you stay in this shores
Speak to me of summer, long winters longer than time can remember,
Setting up of other roads, travel on in old accustomed ways.
I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughters that,
In the knowledge of the land, spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways.
