"Err. Gentle Giant, is it?"

"Send for some coffee, Paul, will you?

"And who are you?

"Well, I'm Derek, and the blokes behind me are [inaudible]"

"Ray"

"And what's your surname?"

"Shulman"

"Yes"

"I'm a Shulman as well"

"Oh, you're related, are you? I didn't know about that."

"Er, where-where-where shall we begin, then?"

Yeah, it's been hard, going a long time

And we're together even now

Why do you ask? Surely you know it!

Isn't it clear just when and how?

What can we tell you? At the beginning

Had no direction any other way

After the fourth one, realisation

Finding our road, the same as if today

Yeah, we all hear, everyone, no-one

Not to not say, we like a lot

Want to be seen rock and roll music

Don't take us something that we're not

True it looks better, tide looks like turning

So, all in all, we feel we are alright

Yes, we've had troubles, much more than many

Rather have none and do we think what's right

What are your plans for the future now?

And can you say who does the writing then?

How did you get, who gave the name of the band?

Why do you ask? Surely you know it!

Why do you ask? Surely you know it!

Why do you ask? Surely you know it!

Had no direction any other way

Why do you ask? Surely you know it!

Had no direction any other way

Why do you ask? Surely you know it!

Had no direction any other way

Why do you ask? Surely you know it!

Had no direction any other way

Why do you ask? Surely you know it!

Had no direction any other way

Why do you ask? Surely you know it!

Had no direction any other way

Why do you ask? Surely you know it!

Had no direction any other way

Why do you ask? Surely you know it!

Had no direction any other way

Why do you ask? Surely you know it!

Had no direction any other way

Why do you ask? Surely you know it!

Had no direction any other way

Why do you ask? Surely you know it!

Had no direction any other way

Why do you ask? Surely you know it!

Had no direction any other way

Now that he's gone, turn off our faces

Wait for the new man to arrive

Soon the same song, sung for the next one

Saying our piece, though not alive

What can we tell you? At the beginning

Had no direction any other way

After the fourth one, realisation

Finding our road, the same as if today

Well, we all hear, everyone, no-one

Not to not say, we like a lot

Want to be seen rock and roll music

Don't take us something that we're not

True it looks better, tide looks like turning

So, all in all, we feel we are alright

Yes, we had troubles, much more than many

Rather have none and do we think what's right
