OK, this seems to be more of an open thread this evening.

Kingdom Come - Time Captives (1973)
www.youtube.com

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
Now time ship! Atom centuries!

Alpha waves compute before eternity began
Lone protons probing vast galaxies

We seek a void where creation once cried "OM!"

Time captains
We synthesize the rays powering your brain

We are time captains
We synthesize the race power in your brain

We are time captains
We are time captains
...



Interesting tune.

For starters...

Journey (Kingdom Come album)
en.wikipedia.org(Kingdom_Come_album)

... Journey is the third and final studio album by British rock band Kingdom Come, known as Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come[1] outside the UK. ...

The album was the first album in history to use a drum machine responsible for all the percussive sounds on the album. The drum machine in question was the Bentley Rhythm Ace, manufactured by Ace Tone. ...


Another interesting aspect, for me, is that the song's title is "Time Captives" but the lyrics show "time captains."

A couple of fun (interesting?) tunes by an alt-rock group ...

Beat Farmers - Happy Boy (1985)

--- and ---

Country Dick Montana - Little Balls of Yarn (1987)
www.youtube.com


Not a surprise, lyrics do not seem to be available in English.

OK, from 2022 ...

Caamp - Believe (2022)
www.youtube.com

Lyrics in the video.

From what I understand, the members of the group met at a summer camp, hence the name.

OK, I'll go away quietly from these two tunes threads.

But this first...

Kings - This Beat Goes On/Switchin' to Glide (1980)

The "nothing matters but the weekend" tune.


:)
