Please lay down your pistols and your rifles
Please lay down your colours and your creeds
Please lay down your thoughts of being no-one
Concentrate on what you ought to be
Please lay down your colours and your creeds
Please lay down your thoughts of being no-one
Concentrate on what you ought to be
Then lay down your bullshit and your protests
Then lay down your governments of greed
Take a look at what lies all around you
Then pray God we can live in peace
Everyone's a loner 'till he needs a helping hand
Everyone is everybody else
Everyone's a no-one 'till he wants to make a stand
God alone knows how we will survive
Pretty sure that this band are so deeply unfashionable that no-one will know who the song is by.
Looking forward to some entertaining guesses though!

I would agree with you on that one. Never fashionable, never great, but occasionally not bad...

I liked "Early Morning" when Stuart Henry played it on his Saturday morning show. God, how long ago. And then years later Johnnie Walker kept plugging "I'm Over You." Better than not bad at times. "After The Day" and "Mockingbird" are classics.
PS nowadays don't the Moody Blues sound like the poor man's Barclay James Harvest?

They put a new slant on the old "Big in Japan" thing with "Huge in Germany"...
Strange thing is that there are now two BJH's...
"Big In Japan" may be a cliche but "Huge In Germany" is ominous....
(I forgot about "Hymn" when extolling individual songs.)
I just checked and apparently there are THREE BJH's still touring.
Woolly Wolstenholme remains the most memorable name in rock music.
