Hi Jerome.... I too have been trying to figure out a lot of the lyrics to psi-fi,... and I'm Ken Eliott's sister!!! The lyrics to "Things To Come" were on the original sleeve, but the lyrics to "psi-fi" had never been transcribed before. t transpires many of us have been singing the wrong lyrics for many years. Anyhow, both the 7th Wave albums have recently been reissued by Cherry Red records (see post above)....and I had the job of transcribing the lyrics, which was no easy task. I initially did a draft... I sat and listened to the album intently and left lots of blanks where I wasn't sure. Then when Ken came to visit, I played the album, sat him down and asked him to fill in the blanks. There were many times I asked Ken... "are you sure that's what you're singing?" and kept replaying to make sure. I got quite a few surprises myself. Ken said he liked some of my wrong lyrics better ;) Anyhow, I'm going to post the lyrics after this... 2 at a time, Enjoy

SEVENTH WAVE - PSI-FI LYRICS ******************************************************* RETURN TO FOREVERLAND You blow my mind with your amazing graces You've no illusions in high places We'll be a ricochet of laughing harmonies Pushing upwards into an empty city At night, alright who cares Return to Foreverland Shall I never understand Why I always feel this way Could you see yourself in my electric dream Drinking a glass of mesca wine We'd fly to Rio Become a whole charade Of glitter dust charm And sunshine vanity Black Knight bronzed and gold in Rio Return to Foreverland Take off now and never land Where my dreams are starry eyed Where this idea hit me Think of all the people you ever knew Think of the message they laid on you Lady of the river of the light We have too much to say Just tell me it's alright And that we can do anything We like it's nice with kisses Return to Foreverland Shall I never understand Why I always feel this way Return to Foreverland Return to Foreverland Take off now and never land Return to Foreverland ************************************************************ ROADS TO ROME Alice swayed her head like a rattle snake She said hey come and have some joy I'll take you to a party like the last days of Rome I said I'd be obliged walked by her side Along the pebble beach mascara eyed Her bright and lucid tongue played with her life's experience enticing Little sister sang the virgin song in vain he came Her brothers were all ravaged by the fear dogs She didn't cry she's satisfied She'll spend her days in Rome until she dies Strangers of the roads to Rome [Onomatopoeia] The girls and the guys lay with jaded Juke box eyes They spend their last days in Rome Put your money in the old Rock-ola Roma-roller rocko-la-la [last days in Rome] In Caligula's vanilla villa Roma-roller rocko-la la Emporium deco nickelodeon [oh Antonio telephonio] [Viva fatali inferno denari] [ampitheatre etcetera derarium natura necrophelia psychedelia] Last days in Rome I hope you make it as a gladiator Roma-roller rocko-la-la I'd love to see you there I'd love to see you there in Rome She was so very young I wondered how she'd fare Rocko-la-la Emperor (or so you'd like to think or feel or be she said) I should have ripped the eyes of her head And spat them at the skies To look out and see Rome burn In a desert of blue sound 500 years the spirit flies Time to be civilised To realise to prophesise

MANIFESTATIONS There's a red shadow of earth On the moon see a crescent of light Like a celestial sundial For the star gods of night Shadows of doom Weave a strange astral spell [moonbeams] Like a symphony [a sacrificial rite] A sight of such awesome might Manifestations of the moon and the sun Lost temple of science in a terrestrial night The Pharaoh’s magician been playing with zionite Tonight look up to the skies [stargazer] With a philosophy [strangers in the night] A sight of such awesome might Manifestations of the moon and the sun Terrestrial night a change of your reality has come See the demons of darkness in the night Hear the trumpets of madness as I wait for the dawn Close your eyes Dreamer of decadence Lay still as death Across the valley the demons come [cheek to cheek] People gather under a blood red sun And the moon brother's strange evil glaze [lunar] Ringing cacophony (ethereality] A sight of such awesome might Manifestations of the moon and the sun Manifestations of the moon and sun Manifestations of the moon and sun ************************************************************ LOVED BY YOU Don't give me any fooling Don't look away from me child I don't need any schooling I found out today That I wanna stay loved by you That I wanna stay loved by you Don't look away from me In my world the whole show changes When you're around You to me are the only thing that's real You're my life in this old cold grey town That's why I wanna stay loved by you That's why I wanna stay loved by you Don't slip away from me That's why I wanna stay loved by you 'Cos you fit in my world That's why I wanna stay loved by you **************************************************

ONLY THE BEGINNING Listen the day lies still The night is yet to begin Stage lights glancing at the shadows Night shades disappear You sense and catch the smell of fear You're getting emptier day by day Your wall's collapsing to inside You say is my mind into infinity Can't take those starry eyes Or transcendental suicides I'm singing of the agony of living Sleep work talk eat sleep monotony But this is only the beginning I can't realise Think I'll take a walk in the skies Something I can't remember Is it a kiss a word of truth or nursery rhyme Is this the final curtain on the stage Or just swinging racy showbiz all the time Got to reach my mind out for miles and miles Across the windswept planes of time This is only the beginning This is only the start This is only the beginning Each beginning has an end Each end is a time to begin This is only the beginning This is only the start This is only the beginning Each beginning has an end Each end is a time to begin Time to begin Listen... chic Built like a lazer High velocity phaser A catastrophic stereotype Sharp as a razor Elocution eraser Like a dream alright Sit tight Get a hit - get up Sees your point of view You know what I mean It's a dream scene scheme To take your sensuality And tie it to the skies Someone help me climb these [and it's all in the mind] Helter-skelter memories This is only the beginning This is only the start This is only the beginning (don't look back) Each beginning has an end Each end is a time to begin This is only the beginning This is only the start [so be there] This is only the beginning [and remember] Each beginning has an end [everything has an end] Each end is a time to begin Hey what time is this Time to begin ***************************************************

ASTRAL ANIMAL I've been around about 10 billion years Never get sick and tired of pain and fear About 4 in the morning I noticed you dreaming My astral bestiality a fire serpent Feel my vibrations start at the knees I've got love and it's eager to please Silky soft explosions free as a breeze Ripe as a raisin so give it a squeeze I am the astral animal I move slow [it's like torture] And I never let you forget I am the astral animal I move fast [it's like fire] Through the spider webs of your back street eyes Hey don't tell me lies 'Cos you know you think about me Feel the rotation Of my vital emotion As I sink into motion And drink your sweet lotion Do you know there are 10,000 religions That worship my spear I can turn you on or destroy you with fear Seems kind of evil you know what I mean This operation on a living machine Insatiable desire sending waves up your spleen A little ting-a-ling agony That is like a living dream I am the astral animal I move slow [it's like torture] And I never let you forget I am the astral animal I move fast [just like fire] Through the back streets of your spider web disguise ********************************************************************* CAMERA OBSCURA Plastic palace Alice Through the looking glass Hearts of darkness set me free Please release this grip of madness As the cabaret of life unfolds before your very eyes Remember there's a fall for every rise In the skies a multitude of stellar fire flies Seem to harmonize With their centrifugal appetites for parody As you ride a space time wheel through eternity Realisation of a what you think or feel or be Your reflection of a reality Anything you see Upon the sands of time perceive a bird with broken wing For her the dream of life shall be unmade Someone tell me a reason why it must be this way Death arrives at the feast of life Eating fools paradise He wields a scythe her last illusion fades Realisation of a reality The reflection anything you see Who are you to be You count the seasons and the reasons in eternity way When you're left to love alone You realise it's in your mind to be a magician You are your own soul's physician Realisation She touched my soul with soothing lies [harmonised] And the beat played The orchestra played a dream serenade Palm court finite Huh Alice's jaded golden grenade Shines with promise tonight She said they kill me with their dreams Champagne on ice Alice is dancing Enticing entrancing Crystal cafe in the bright white day Alice is dancing [a dream serenade] Realisation of what you think or feel or be Your reflection of someone somewhere Anyone you see Hearts of darkness set me free

Hi Terry. Ken rents my old house from me in March, Cambs. Still composing and a lovely, but massively eccentric man.

Hi Phil, well as the whole country/world has gone massively eccentric , I really hope it gets posted. he is not forgotten at all. I was completely amazed when 7th wave did a social secs conference at Sheffield in err 74? They were absolutely electric. I tried to get them to Exeter Uni but Terry Kings lot wouldn't have it.
