Just the Same / Proclamation - Gentle Giant

See me, what I am, what I was, what I’ll be

Hear me, understand, that I’m not, what you see

Take this, take the man, middle term, common me

Don’t you see that

I’m just doing what I want to do

Nothing more and nothing less than you

Read no thoughts I didn’t think myself

Just the same as anybody else

Make me, someone else, put me up, on a stand

Something, that I don’t, really want, on my hands

Use me, idolise, all you can, understand

Don’t you see that

I’m just doing what I want to do

Nothing more and nothing less than you

Read no thoughts I didn’t think myself

Just the same as anybody else

See me, what I am, what I was, what I’ll be

Hear me, understand, that I’m not, what you see

Take this, take the man, middle term, common me

Don’t you see that

I’m just doing what I want to do

Nothing more and nothing less than you

Read no thoughts I didn’t think myself

Just the same as anybody else

Proclamation/Valedictory

(There seems to be a cut here between recordings at about 15 seconds into

Proclamation.)

1. You may not have all you want or you need

All that you have has been due to my hand

It can change, it can stay the same

Who can say, who can make their claim

Hail… Hail… Hail… Hail!

Hail!

(original verse 2 skipped)

3. Unity’s strength and all must be as one

Confidence in you hope will reflect in me

I think everyone not as my nation for

You are my people, and there must be no change

It can change, it can stay the same

Who can say, who can make that claim

Hail… Hail… Hail… Hail!

Hail!

Hail to Power and to Glory’s way

Hail to Power and to Glory’s way

Hail to Power and to Glory’s way

Hail to Power and to Glory’s way

Hail to Power and to Glory’s way

Hail to Power and to

And though the hard times

Are really due to me

It still is in me

To wave all this unrest

Things must stay

There must be no change

Anyway, time to rearrange

Hail!
