Slade

Slade are a rock band from Wolverhampton, who rose to prominence during the glam rock era of the early 1970s. With 17 consecutive Top 20 hits and six number ones, the British Hit Singles & Albums names them as the most successful British group of the 1970s based on sales of singles. They were the first act to have three singles enter at number one, and all six of the band's chart-toppers were penned by Noddy Holder and Jim Lea. Total UK sales stand at 6,520,171, and their best selling single, "Merry Xmas Everybody", has sold in excess of one million copies. more »

From the corner of my eye
I was looking out and why
To see all the things we did
To see hope in where we hid

From the outside looking in
Was a stranger with a grin
Seeing bombhead on a rope
He was swinging high and low
High and low

We were miles out to sea
Did we float you and me
Maybe one day we'll go back for more
We were miles from the bay
Did we float I should say
Maybe next time we'll leave from the shore

From the corner of my eye
I was looking out and why
There were sounds you never heard
And then dump was the new word

Look at last night was that night
A sharp lady got it right
We sang songs from cabaret
And we laugh the night away
Right away

We were miles out to sea
Did we float you and me
Maybe one day we'll go back for more
We were miles from the bay
Did we float I should say
Maybe next time we'll leave from the shore

The mad monk was such a sight
Red hair hanging in the light
And a temple to call home
Is he living there alone

From the outside looking in
Stood a stranger with a grin
He saw all the things we did
We saw hope in where we hid
Yes we did

We were miles out to sea
Did we float you and me 
Maybe one day we'll go back for more
We were miles from the bay 
Did we float I should say
Maybe next time we'll leave from the shore
