Night of Fear

About Night of Fear

"Night of Fear" is the title of The Move's debut single. It was written by Roy Wood. The main riff and the bass line in the chorus is derived from Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. At one point, it was intended that its B-side "Disturbance" would be The Move's first A-side, but "Night of Fear" was eventually chosen as it was deemed to be more commercial. It was released in December 1966, and reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart on 26 January 1967, staying for ten weeks in the charts. The song features all four of The Move's vocalists: Carl Wayne, Trevor Burton, Ace Kefford and Roy Wood in four-part harmony, primarily featuring Wayne and Wood with Kefford singing the chorus "Just about to flip your mind, just about to trip your mind". more »

My friends and I took a walk today
To a place we've been before
We flipped around like a wild machine
Till we stopped down by the store
Someone said

Let's go for a walk upon the water
Let's go for a stroll across the sea
First one, follow me
Amidst my thoughts didn't feel inclined
To drift into the bay
By now my friends, could see their minds
As I watched them drift away, all singing

Final boarding time
Now their souls are washed up
Faith destroyed their minds
Better get the Life inspector
Bring along his mind director
You know I'm innocent
I just didn't expect their trip to last
With the gale force that crossed their path
I could see them sinking fast, still singing

Let's go for a walk upon the water
Let's go for a stroll across the sea
First one, follow me
Amidst my thoughts didn't feel inclined
To drift into the bay
By now my friends, could see their minds
As I watched them drift away, all singing

Final boarding time
Now their souls are washed up
Faith destroyed their minds
Better get the Life inspector
Bring along his mind director
You know I'm innocent
I just didn't expect their trip to last
With the gale force that crossed their path
I could see them sinking fast, still singing

This tale of common sense will end on
Please don't drink and drive
Especially when you're driving friends
Along the waterside, still singing

Let's go for a walk upon the water
Let's go for a stroll across the sea
First one, follow me
Amidst my thoughts didn't feel inclined
To drift into the bay
By now my friends, could see their minds
As I watched them drift away, all singing

Let's go for a walk upon the water
Let's go for a stroll across the sea
First one, follow me
Amidst my thoughts didn't feel inclined
To drift into the bay
By now my friends, could see their minds
As I watched them drift away, all singing
Follow me, follow me, follow me

Let's go for a walk upon the water
Let's go for a stroll across the sea
First one, follow me
Amidst my thoughts didn't feel inclined
To drift into the bay
By now my friends, could see their minds
As I watched them drift away, all singing
