I'm sure everyone has song lyrics that they've heard, maybe even know off by heart, but they just don't have a clue what the hell they mean.

Well. I do. This is my first offering. Please, please tell me what they hell they're trying to tell me:

Yes: I've seen all good people

I. your move

Ive seen all good people turn their heads each day
So satisfied Im on my way.
Ive seen all good people turn their heads each day
So satisfied Im on my way.

Take a straight and stronger course to the corner of your life.
Make the white queen run so fast
She hasnt got time to make you a wife.

cause its time, its time in time
With your time and its news is captured
For the queen to use.
Move me on to any black square,
Use me any time you want,
Just remember that the gold
sfor us to capture all we want, anywhere,
Yea, yea, yea.

Dont surround yourself with yourself,
Move on back two squares,
Send an instant karma to me,
Initial it with loving care
Dont surround
Yourself.

cause its time, its time in time
With your time and its news is captured
For the queen to use.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit dont surround
Didda. - yourself with yourself.
Dont surround yourself with yourself, dont surround yourself.
Move on back two squares,
Send an instant karma to me, send an instant
Initial it with loving care karma to me. dont surround yourself.

cause its time, its time in time
With your time and its news is captured
For the queen to use.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.

cause its time, its time in time
With your time and its news is captured.

Ii. all good people

Ive seen all good people turn their heads
Each day so satisfied Im on my way.
Yea, yea.
Ive seen all good people turn their heads
Each day so satisfied Im on my way.

I can't tell you what it tells you but here are my thoughts

Maybey there references to chess represent that life is a battle and you think your bound by the rules of the game.

don't surround yourself with yourself- open your eyes there is a whole world out there, not just you

Move on back two squares- could mean to start over with clean slate

Then he's could be telling you to take a straight and stronger course
to the corners of your life , the darkest spots

cause it 's time and times in time in with your time- you've been given the gift of life use it

the line about the Queen could be how your living under control, by her the queen or society

These are just some thoughts

the move on back two squares could also mean that you sometimes need to take a few steps back before you can progress

Taking a sraight and stronger course may mean to get what you want you may need to be agressive in both your playing and in your life

As Ice Cold said, Anderson was tripping - he was all the time in 68-77.
Good music though! Awaken - a classic.
Yes are still going too - 40yrs later nearly...
They're fairly old men.... but still perform superbly
Therefore they must be still trippin'
Fair play!
