Easy To Be Free lyrics

We’ve put together a fun photo video of the band’s trip to Easdale Island & Achmore last year which fits in with the lyrics of this classic String Driven Thing track.

EASY TO BE FREE

Would you like to be travelling on a sailing ship at sea,
Out on the waves as they move beneath your feet,
Feeling the wind as it quivers in the sheets,

It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free

Would you like to be leaving your city life behind,
To look for adventure among the South Sea Isles,
If you don’t believe in treasure, then I’ll have to change your mind,
It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free.

Would you like to be going somewhere you’ve never been,
Like to be seeing all the things you’ve never seen,
If you don’t believe in magic then you won’t know what I mean,
It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free

Would you like to be travelling on a sailing ship at sea,
Out on the waves as they move beneath your feet
Feeling the wind as it quivers in the sheets,
It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free

PLACE TO LIE

(Chris Adams/

Backshop Music)

Well I gotta find me a place to lie

Yeah I gotta find me a place to lie

Some little churchyard, shady and green,

In some little village that I’ve never seen,

Down with the beetles, down with the stones

Down with the zombies in the dead zone.

Yes I gotta find me a place to lie,

Said I gotta find me a place to lie,

Out on the ocean, stormy and deep

Under the waves, where the fish never sleep,

Down with the turtles, down with the eels

Down with the sharks and their swim away meals.

Yes I gotta find me a place to lie

Said I need find me a place to lie

Well I gotta find me a place to lie,

Yes I gotta find me a place to lie,

Above the clouds where the sky’s always blue,

I’m closer to heaven, yeah I’m further from you,

Up with the eagles, up with the birds,

Up with the jayhawks, in a world without words,

Yeah I gotta find me a place to lie

Yeh I gotta find me a place to lie

Said I gotta find me a place to lie

Yes I gotta find me a place to lie

A place to lie, place to lie

Place to lie, place to lie….

The band had a ball in Bavaria in May. They played gigs at Cafe Konrad in Vilsbiburg and the Salzstadel, Landshut, airing songs from the new album and some classics from the past. The crowds loved the sound and the band has been invited back for a longer tour. Thanks again to promoter John Flanagan and to everyone who made us feel so welcome. In the meantime, we thought you might like a taste of the band’s weekend in “another country”.

EXCLUSIVE: Preview Track from the New Album.

STRING DRIVEN THING from Glasgow were one of the most innovative progressive/folk rock bands of their time. Their selftitled album and “The Machine That Cried”, released in 1972 resp.1973 were miles ahead of the competition!

As STRING DRIVEN, Chris Adams still leads the group with an Americana sound. The new album, “Songs from Another Country” is due for release in 2009
