The Gist Of The Gemini

Gino Vanelli The Gist Of The Gemini Lyrics
1.After The Last Battle

(insturmental)


2.A New Fix For '76

And now that psychedelia's gone when the hell ya gonna face
reality boy
We can't be that asinine to think that nineteen sixty nine was
the way it should be
There's a new moon with an old shine
So it's time to open your heart as wide as you see
Sing a new song of mobility
Get a new fix for seventy six

And now whether our hair's short or long
The issue is not really if it's right or wrong
But as long as it's clean .... right
I've gotta realize that our new found philosophies
Were only synthesized in the delusion of a flowerchild scene

There's a new star in an old space
So it's time you open your soul and set yourself free
Sing a new song of totality
Get a new fix for seventy six

So we thought we were cool and free
But then our heros blew their minds
With x and y's and lsd oh what a sin
Friend we gotta comprehend and we gotta learn from the past
And not dwell in it again and again and again

Hold one hand with time
And open your mind naturally
Sing a new song of vitality
Get a new fix for seventy six


3.Fly Into This Night

First the high and then a low
Getting ero-mantic vertigo
In the rain then the drought
That's what loving you is all about

Fly, fly into this night
And rectify my dreams
I, i love you more than life
Though seldom i'm serene

Feel the cold in the heat
I'm questioning my blind fidelity
Love is sweet love is tart
Loving you is a crime when we're apart

Fly into this night
And still my fantasies
I love you more than life
Through seldom i'm at peace


4.Love Of My Life

Love of my life
Take my heart take my soul
Take what you need
Love of my life
Don't you know i'm just a fool for a good woman's greed

You broke the wings of a weary vagabond
And i'm stranded on the island of your love
You are the fruit of my amazon
Love of my life i'm no good on my own

Love of my nights
Take my pride take my flesh
Take all my blues
Love of my life
Don't you know my life's a bore
When there's nothing to lose

I am the prisoner of your paradise
Sunken in the bayou of your love
I make this sensual sacrifice
Love of my life
For the good of my own
Love of my life
I'm no good on my own

Love of my life
Take my heart take my soul
Take what you feel
Love of my life
Don't you know i'm just a man
For a woman who's real

Love of my life ....
Love of my life ....
Love of my life ....


5.Omens Of Love

To love
I have lost
All that is self
My memories have made the storm
Now subsides casting my fate
Inside your soul

And these eyes
Are mine no more
To seek
I pour myself in your vigin veins
Now all that i see
Is through a passion's pain
Cause i'm all hung up over you
I'm losing myself
Loving you

Your wine is the blood
That drunkens my heart
With omens of love and now
That i am you
Woman i fear that you're not i
Oh true love is so so bume and so blue

The storm has passed
Deep inside of me
Crushed by the calm of my insecurity
Cause i'm all hung up over you
I'm losing myself
Over you


6.Prelude To The War

(insturmental)


7.Summers Of My Life

The sea is sad the world is stray
The love of earth has passed away
And war after war how we fail and ignore what we defend
And soon it will end

The pain is east the pain is west
The greed of all men has ravaged the blessed
And year after year ev'ry crime reappears without a care

Where are the summers of my life
Have the seasons all gone cold
Where are the lovers of this life
Who's drowned the fires of our souls
What have we done

If god is good then god be cruel
Take back the world you've granted to fools
Salvage the land that is best without man and all his grief

Where are the summers of my life
Have the seasons all gone cold
Where are the lovers of this life
Who's drowned the fires of our souls

Where are the summers of my life
Have the seasons all gone cold
Where are the lovers of this life
Who's drowned the fires of our souls


8.The Battle Cry

(insturmental)


9.To The War

If the day would come to fight for what is right
Would you go
Would you guard the ground you've reaped from all your life
Would you say yes
Or would you say no

And if the legacies of your land were on the line
Would you pledge you allegiance if death be the fate you may
find
Look in your hearts
Do you know

To the war ...
Does the freedom seek the strong or seek the weak
Do you care
Would you face the foe or turn your other cheek
And 'bandon the hearts your children must share

And if the sanctities of your creeds were terrorized
Would you kneel down in dastardly grace
Or would you stand up and fight
Man would you march to war


10.To The War(Reflection)

Oh the fallacies of the foe are just half the curse
Cause it's not so much good against the bad as bad against worse
Oh look at ourselves
Don't we know
There's a cause
That we shun
In our march
To the war
To the war
To the war
To the war
To the war


11.Ugly Man

Who am i
To the rabble and the wise
Am i just a young and shallow face that years erase
Am i more than that
Oh do they wonder how can i
Bring the world beneath this guise
In the silence of my languished soul
Lies a truth unknown
Oh yes i am
I am just an ugly man
Alone

I work no day with self deception
All that i am
Is one common grain of sand
But the sun does rise for every man alive
And how my heart is clear cause i have from what i do
And i do just what i am

Oh no man is born a starless sky 'neath his naked hide
Lord yes i am
Maybe i'm a lucky man
Inside
