“To whole room her eyes are numb,
As she reads from a true love story.
From the pages of a book her lover comes,
Her heart bleeds, it's a true love story.”

Mike Oldfield

Song lyrics, Earth Moving (1989)

“Speak, vision of the night,
Tell me why you haunt me so…
Speak, heaven morning light,
Whisper all my heart would know.
Dawn never finds you,
Gone back to where the Shadows dwell…
Speak, my beloved, speak,
tho' you only say farewell!”

Mike Oldfield

Song lyrics, Boxed (1976)

“Somebody's out to get you
Hiding in the shadows
Poison arrows!
Somebody's out to break you
Hiding in narrows
Poison arrows!”

For the moment that lasts…
Is this moment now?”

On Tubular Bells
The Telegraph Interview, 10 june 2009

“Voices in the dark
And the lights burn low
Teach yourself the art
That you never know
Try to put a message through
To your sweetheart
Won't you like to know
The secrets of the heart?”

Mike Oldfield

Song lyrics, Discovery (1984)

“Amber light
Of this new morning,
Amber light,
Clear, bright and warming.
Overnight
The Earth adorning…
Amber light,
A New Age is dawning….”

Song lyrics, The Millennium Bell (1999)

“Sunlight falling bright
Over village garden walls
Moonlight shower's gold
where leaving waterfalls
People walk in splendour
Under trees hung in starlight.”

Song lyrics, Children of the Sun (1969)

“We're looking
For the strangers
With sunlight in their eyes
Who lived on Earth
When Man was new
When Time was
Just a coloured dew
That grew inside their mind…”

Mike Oldfield

Song lyrics, Children of the Sun (1969)

“Walking on foreign ground
Like a shadow
Roaming in far off territory
Over your shoulder
Stories unfold
You're searching
For a sanctuary…”

“Holy, to me just one glance is holy
One touch of your heart to me that's holy…”

Song lyrics, Earth Moving (1989)

“Hello everyone!
I suppose that you think that nothing much is happening at the moment. Ah ah ah! Well, that's what I want to talk to you all about: endings. Now, endings normally happen at the end. But, as we all know, endings are just beginnings. You know, once these things really get started, it's jolly hard to stop them again.
However, as we have all come this far, I think, under the circumstances, the best solution is that we all just keep going. Let's keep going inside, never an ending. Let's remember that this world wants fresh beginnings. I feel here, in this Country, and throughout the world, we are crying out for beginnings, beginnings!
We never want to hear this word "endings". I know you don't want to sit down. Of course, you're looking for the good start. Of course you're looking for a fresh start.
Isn't that charming? Do you know, I really feel I could dance…”

Mike Oldfield

Song lyrics, Amarok (1990)

“I want not to panic. I want to be comfortable in my body and my life. I don't want to keep thinking that I don't belong here, that I have ended up on the wrong planet, completely alienated.”

Mike Oldfield

from Changeling

“And in the deepest dark
You come to a maze, in the night,
The fading twilight…
And you shiver the glistening path
Where you know you're crazy to go…”

Mike Oldfield

Song lyrics, Collection (2002)

“Everything on Tubular Bells was done on the first take – it was lovely, so spontaneous. I had such a long time to prepare it, and I had just one little chance to do it, and now I listen to it and it has a lovely spontaneous energy. It's got mistakes, and I could easily have cut them out, but I left them on.”

Mike Oldfield

The Telegraph Interview, 10 june 2009

“Queen and Huntress chaste and fair
Now the Sun is laid to sleep
Seated in the Silver Chair
State in wonder
Manner keep […]
Hesperus entreats Thy light
Goddess excellently bright
Bless us then with a wished sight
Thou who mak'st the day of night…”

Mike Oldfield

Song lyrics, Incantations (1978)

“If I open my eyes just far enough
I can see what you're doing.
Go on, fight to the end, it's though enough
When you're on the road of ruin!”

Mike Oldfield

Song lyrics, Earth Moving (1989)

“I've been waiting at this frontier
And it seems like a hundred years,
But I couldn't see past the gate
I couldn't see past the hate.”

Mike Oldfield

Song lyrics, Earth Moving (1989)

“And now the story's just begun
A thousand years to stay;
We wake each morning with the sun
To live our dreams away…”

Mike Oldfield

Song lyrics, Islands (1987)

“Now I climb the steps to freedom,
The open gates, I can see them.
Hands once I knew
Beckoning me through,
As the sunlight touch my face,
I can feel the warm embrace;
Arms surround me,
My life has found me…”
