[Spoken Intro]
"Err. Gentle Giant, is it?"
"Send for some coffee, Paul, will you?
"And who are you?
"Well, I'm Derek, and the blokes behind me are [inaudible]"
"Ray"
"And what's your surname?"
"Shulman"
"Yes"
[Inaudible]
"I'm a Shulman as well"
"Oh, you're related, are you? I didn't know about that."
"Er, where-where-where shall we begin, then?"

[Verse 1: Derek Shulman]
Yeah it's been hard, going a long time
And we're together even now
Why do you ask? Surely you know it!
Isn't it clear just when and how?

[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
What can we tell you? At the beginning
Had no direction any other way
After the fourth one, realisation
Finding our road, the same as if today
[Verse 2: Derek Shulman]
Yeah, we all hear, everyone, no-one
Not to not say, we like a lot
Want to be seen rock and roll music
Don't take us something that we're not

[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
True it looks better, tide looks like turning
So, all in all, we feel we are alright
Yes, we've had troubles, much more than many
Rather have none and do we think what's right

[Bridge: John Weathers]
What are your plans for the future now?
And can you say who does the writing then?
How did you get, who gave the name of the band?

[Interlude]
Why do you ask? Surely you know it!
Why do you ask? Surely you know it!
Why do you ask? Surely you know it!
Had no direction any other way
Why do you ask? Surely you know it!
Had no direction any other way
Why do you ask? Surely you know it!
Had no direction any other way
Why do you ask? Surely you know it!
Had no direction any other way
Why do you ask? Surely you know it!
Had no direction any other way
Why do you ask? Surely you know it!
Had no direction any other way
Why do you ask? Surely you know it!
Had no direction any other way
Why do you ask? Surely you know it!
Had no direction any other way
Why do you ask? Surely you know it!
Had no direction any other way
Why do you ask? Surely you know it!
Had no direction any other way
Why do you ask? Surely you know it!
Had no direction any other way
Why do you ask? Surely you know it!
Had no direction any other way
[Verse 3: Derek Shulman]
Now that he's gone, turn off our faces
Wait for the new man to arrive
Soon the same song, sung for the next one
Saying our piece, though not alive

[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
What can we tell you? At the beginning
Had no direction any other way
After the fourth one, realisation
Finding our road, the same as if today

[Verse 4: Derek Shulman]
Well we all hear, everyone, no-one
Not to not say, we like a lot
Want to be seen rock and roll music
Don't take us something that we're not

[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
True it looks better, tide looks like turning
So all in all we feel we are alright
Yes, we had troubles, much more than many
Rather have none and do we think what's right
