Vangelis and Aphrodite's Child lyrics: It's
five o'clock lyrics
Aphrodite's Child was formed in 1967 by Vangelis
(keyboards), together with his musician friends Demis Roussos (bass guitar and
vocals),
Lucas Sideras (drums and vocals) and Anargyros "Silver" Koulouris (guitar).
But when the group went to Paris in 1968 Koulouris had to stay in Greece (for
military service).
The first single was released in 1968: "Plastics nevermore" / "The other people"
(as a demo for Philips).
The single "Rain
and Tears", released in May 1968 was a huge success all over the world.
The first album: "End
of the world" was released in 1968.
In 1969 Aphrodite's Child released their second album "It's five o'clock".
In 1970 Vangelis started working on the album "666",
when Silver Koulouris joined Aphrodite's Child.
The album was released in 1971 (when the group has split up).

It's five o'clock
and I walk through the empty streets
Thoughts fill my head
but then still
no one speaks to me
My mind takes me back
to the years that have passed me by
[interlude]
It is so hard to believe
that it's me
that I see
in the window pane
It it so hard to believe
that all this is the way
that it has to be
It's five o'clock
and I walk through the empty streets
The night is my friend
And in him
I find sympathy
|
thus so
And so I go back to the years that have past me by[interlude]
It is so hard to believe
that it's me
that I see
in the window pane
It it so hard to believe
that all this is the way
that it has to be
It's five o'clock
and I walk through the empty streets
The night is my friend
And in him I find sympathy
He gives me day
gives me hope
and a little dream too
|
Talking, people
talking
But I can't understand just what they say
The thoughts that fill my head about tomorrow
What am I to do about today?Looking,
people looking
But I can't understand just what they see
If I shut my eyes sometimes it is much better
But how long can I go on living this way?
Laughing, people laughing
The people are the same in every land
Do they laugh because they have no way of crying?
Or cry because they have no way to laugh?
|
Freedom, they want
freedom
Can this feeling be reality?
Till one day the silly people will be asking
For an apple that has come before the tree
Answers, who has the answers?
To all the questions that we have to ask?
I can show you how to find a good solution
Aphrodite's Child will tell you on the back
[interlude]
pom pom pom ......

Take your time
Life is easy
If you try
Take your time
It won't last
If you living fast
So just try
To take your time
Woman and wine,
what a sin!
Riding around in a black limousine
They take your money,
break your heart and leave
They told
Learn the lesson
From this fool
Take your time
You must walk
Before you run
Get it done
Take your time

Woman and wine,
what a sin!
Riding around in a black limousine
They take your money,
break your heart and leave[interlude]

From this fool
Take your time

When the stars
begin to shine
The wind is flowing through my mind
Flocking waves the sea arise again
A vision calling from the sea
See it talking up to me
I feel a strange force
Pulling me over you
Annabella
Annabella it's you
And when we dance again
Up in the velvet sky
The moon is rise and high
We have to say goodbye
Ahhh yeah...
The dawn is rising from the east
And seabirds call me back to be
Alone without your memories once more
The sand is warm beneath my feet
To stay again and I must live the time
The time I am forced to spent without you
|
Annabella
Annabella
Without youAnd now you're gonna dream
I kissed and touched your hair
And that our love is shared
Before we say goodbye
Ahhh yeah
When the sun has gone to sleep
And seabirds rest their weary wings
Fairy nights with candle light and stars
Melt the skies, a deeper blue
I am here, but where are you?
Can't you hear me calling you on the sea?
Annabella
Annabella
Come to me |

I said good times so fine
now I've got you here with me
I said good times so fine
don't go away
I want you here all the time every day and every night
I want you here all the time that's what I say
Laughing, singing and just swinging
In the world you' ve made for me
Sailing in my little boat I never felt so free
Way up above the clouds
Yes I'm riding, riding high
I'm just sitting all day long and watch the world go by
I said good times so fine
now I've got you here with me
I said good times so fine
don't go away
I want you here all the time every day and every night
I want you here all the time that's what I say |
Laughing, singing and just swinging
In the world you' ve made for me
Sailing in my little boat I never felt so free
Way up above the clouds
Yes I'm riding, riding high
I'm just sitting all day long and watch the world go by
[Interlude] Laughing, singing and just
swinging
In the world you' ve made for me
Sailing in my little boat I never felt so free
Way up above the clouds
Yes I'm riding, riding high
I'm just sitting all day long and watch the world go by
Have good times so fine when I'm walking beside you
I'm in love and the feelings are in you
I said walking along on a sunny day with you
Come to me, say you feel the way I do |
Sometimes I feel
that I'm all alone
and I wonder what I'd do
if I couldn't turn to you
You are all my life
and more
take this love I give
Marie Jolie
Marie Jolie
The seasons change
but love remains
Growing like a rose in spring
all the summer sun can bring
I will find when I'm with you
you are all I have
Marie Jolie
Marie Jolie
[interlude]

I know there'll be
sad times for me
But as long as you are there
I know that I'll need not to care
Love is everywhere you are
my life is the girl
Marie Jolie
Marie Jolie
But if you keep your love from me
I will have no way to turn
I will find it hard to learn
Living life without a dream
Which way will I be
Marie Jolie

Oh, it's morning
and my head is spinning 'round
I had a girl when I came in
But when I woke up she was gone...
