Oldfield, Mike - Sally Lyrics






Isn't it good to know
You only get one go.
Give me a key and let me see.
Try and act normally!

Seems it's an ancient art
To be the one who starts it rolling.
Wouldn't you like to know the way?
Hear what the wise man say.

[Chorus:]
Sally, I'm just a gorilla.
I'll say I'll love you ever more.
Even an ape from Manila
Couldn't stop me knocking on your door!

One and a-one make two.
Only you must come through.
If there's a way, then let me say:
I'd rather stay with you.

Seems it's an ancient art
To be the one who starts it rolling.
Wouldn't you like to know the way?
Hear what the wise man say.

[Chorus x2]

  9. h.... ....

    Brilliant!

  10. i.... ....

    I never knew Mike had a sister. They sure look alike, there is no doubt haha.
    Or that he could sing, as he always had someone else sing on his albums.
    I grew up being a huge fan of Mike I think one day the world will recognize him as a genious and find inspiration in his music. Its all truly original, nothing in his works seem to be inspired by anyone but him self.

    i.... ....

    hes also got a brother terry oldfield he played on omadawn with sally too hes got albums

    i.... ....

    And a brother named David with Downs Syndrome, who passed away about a year old or so. And then Maureen, Mike's mother, became mad, and went to a mental hospital.

    I honestly hadn't heard this beautiful piece before...even though I'm very much of the same vintage. To me there seems to be be, in the guitars, an influence from Love's 'Forever Changes'. Very many thanks for posting.
