Obscured by clouds

Some of you might know this, but for all of you who don't: Obscured by clouds is a album from 1972, and the music were used as soundtracks in a french film called "La Valleè". I've been trying to find this movie everywhere, but the best that I could do, was to download it.. It probably sounds like that's not a problem.. But I couldn't get the subtitles.. And I don't know french.. Yet... So I just have to keep looking!!

This album is by the way a really great album! If you haven't heard it before (shame on you :p) than try it out! There are all these wonderful songs, and if you are going to just chill, this is the album to listen to! The two first songs are instrumental, and there are two songs later as well which are instrumental.

On this album, all the members made songs, but mostly Roger and David (they also made one song alone each). Roger made a song called "Free four", and again, he is singing about his father (who died in World War Two). This is a topic that Roger is bitter about, and want to show what he feels about certain things..

The memories of a man in his old age

Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You suffle in gloom in the sickroom
And talk to yourself till you die.
Life is a short, warm moment
And death is a long cold rest.
You get your chance to try
In the twinkling of an eye:
Eighty years, with luck, or even less.
So all aboard for the American tour,
And maybe you'll make it to the top.
And mind how you go.
I can tell you, because I know.
You may find it hard to get off.
You are the angel of death
And I am the dead man's son.
And he died like a mole in a fox hole.
And everyone is still in the run.
And who is the master of fox hounds?
And who says the hunt has begun?
And who calls the tune in the courtroom?
And who beats the funeral drum?
The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You suffle in gloom in the sickroom
And talk to yourself till you die.

I put in the lyrics as well, so you all can sing :)
