In Another Land

1976

Published on Bandcamp on October 9, 2021

LP Versions

Note that there are at least two main versions of the US vinyl, the latter having slightly earlier fade outs on I've Searched All Around The World and Hymn To The Last Generation. Most if not all LPs from other countries match the original US version in this respect

[Go to Song Page]

Woo

I was lost and blind then a friend of mine
Came and took me by the hand
Then he led me to his kingdom
That was in another land
Now my life has changed, it's rearranged
When I think of my past I feel so strange
Wowie zowie well he saved my soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Well he's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

I was all alone like a rolling stone
I was going nowhere fast
I was on the road so far from home
When the future touched my past
Now I feel so blessed 'cause he gave me a rest
And I finally feel like I've passed the test
I wanna be like him, yes that's my goal
Like a rock that doesn't roll

Oh he's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Well he's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

Ah-ow-yow

I was lost and blind then a friend of mine
Came and took me by the hand
And he led me to his kingdom
That was in another land
Now my mind is blown, my head has grown
A solid rock ain't a rolling stone
Wowie zowie well the cat's got soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

Well, he's the rock that doesn't roll (he's the rock that doesn't roll)
He's the rock that doesn't roll (he's the rock that doesn't roll)
You know he's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't
Rock that doesn't
Rock that doesn't
Rock that doesn't roll

You've got to rock me on the water
You've got to rock me from my grave
You've got to rock me till I'm feeling good
You've got to rock me till I'm, rock me till I'm saved

He's the rock that doesn't roll
Well he's the rock that doesn't roll
Well he's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

I wanna tell you
He's the rock that doesn't roll
He's the rock that doesn't roll
Well he's good for the body and great for the soul
He's the rock that doesn't roll

i love you

[Go to Song Page]

We can be together for now and forever
I love you, I love you
Hey can you hear me, I got to have you near me
I love you, I love you
I was lonely till you came along
And now you've got me singing your love song

I love you [x12]

Life is a mystery, love is a dancer
I love you (I love you)
I had a question, you brought the answer
I love you (I love you)
Oh but I need you so
I could never let you go-oh-no-oh

I love you [x12]
Yes I love you

Oh but I need you so
(Ah ah ah) I could never let you go-oh-no no

I love you [x18]

I was lonely once but then you came along and I love you
(La la la la la la la la la la la love you, I love you)
And you gave me love so I wrote down this song, hey I love you
(La la la la la la la la la la la love you, I love you)
I wanna spend my life with you like the angels on high, hey I love you
(La la la la la la la la la la la love you, I love you)
You're the morning star, the son in my sky and I love you
(La la la la la la la la la la la love you)

U.F.o.

[Go to Song Page]

He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
And you will drop your hands and stare

You will be afraid to tell your neighbors
They might think that it's not true
But when you open up the morning papers
You will know they've seen it too

He will come back like he promised
With the price already paid
He will gather up his followers
And take them all away

He's an unidentified flying object
He will sweep down from the sky
He's an unidentified flying object
And some will sleep but will not die

He's an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take you home
He's an unidentified flying object
He will roll away your stone

And if there's life on other planets
Then I'm sure that he must know
And he's been there once already
And has died to save their souls

He's an unidentified flying object
You will see him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
And you will drop your hands and stare
Well he's an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take you home
He's an unidentified flying object
He will roll away your stone

Hi-ya-ah-wa-waoh wo-oh-oh-ah-woh

i've searched all around

[Go to Song Page]

Darkness can't hide much longer
The spirit is getting stronger
You keep the dance halls humming
But the end of the age is coming

I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
I opened the mouth of love and I found a wisdom tooth

Ah
Maybe you think I'm plastic
But your situation's drastic
I'm glad my faith is stronger
This world won't last much longer

I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
I've sat in the shade of God and I watched the joy increase

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Oh oh ah ah
Oh oh-ho-oh
Ooh hoo hoo hoo ooh

There's no time left for stalling
Can't you hear someone calling
Life all around is crumbling
I think this world is stumbling
Maybe you think I'm wrong now
But this is my only song now

I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
Wo oh-ho-oh
I opened the mouth of love and I found a wisdom tooth
I've searched all around the world to find a place of peace
I've sat in the shade of God and I watched the joy increase

Yes, I've searched all around the world to find a grain of truth
Woah
I opened the mouth of love and I found a wisdom tooth

I've searched all around
I've searched all around
I've searched all around the world [x2]

Woo ooh hoo ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ah uh uh oh uh yeah

righteous rocker #3

[Go to Song Page]

(Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah)
You can be a righteous rocker or a holy roller (Ah)
You can be most anything
You can be a child of the slum or a skid row bum (Ah)
Or you can be an earthly king

But without love you ain't nothing without love (Oh oh oh)
Without love you ain't nothing without love (Oh oh oh)

I said without love you ain't nothing (Oh)
You ain't nothing nothing nothing
Without love you ain't nothing without love (Oh)

deja vu

[Go to Song Page]

If God is my father
And you are my brother
Then why can't we bother
To really reach out and love one another

Hmm hmm hmm

Why do we keep on acting the way we do
The way we treat each other, it just breaks my heart in two

Once we were happy
Oh yes once in the garden
And then a lie broke the stillness
And our hearts began to harden

And hoping to be wiser man has reached too far
Sometimes I think that we've advanced but then I look at where we are

Ah ah ah ah

[Coughs]

Sipping whiskey from a paper cup
You drown your sorrows till you can't stand up
Take a look at what you done to yourself
Why don't you put the bottle back on the shelf
Yellow fingered from your cigarettes
Your hands are shaking while your body sweats
Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer

Now think back to when you were a child
Your soul was free your heart ran wild
Each day was different and life was a thrill
You knew tomorrow would be better still
But things have changed, you're much older now
If you're unhappy and you don't know how
Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer

Work all night, sleep all day hey
You take your money, throw it all away
You say you're gonna be a superstar
But you never hung around enough
To find out who you really are

Take a look, take a look

Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer
Yes he does, yes he does
Why don't you look into Jesus
He got the answer
You oughta check it for yourself
Look into Jesus
He got the answer

i am a servant

[Go to Song Page]

I am a servant, I am listening for my name
I sit here waiting, I've been looking at the game
That I've been playing, an' I've been staying much the same
When you are lonely, you're the only one to blame

I am a servant, I am waiting for your call (Aah aah)
I've been unfaithful, so I sit here in the hall
How can you use me when I've never given all
How can you choose me when you know I quickly fall

So you feed my soul and you make me grow
And you let me know you love me
And I'm worthless now, but I've made a vow
I will humbly bow before thee
Oh please use me, I am lonely

I am a servant, getting ready for my part
There's been a change, a rearrangement in my heart
At last I'm learning there's no returning once I start
To live's a privilege, to love is such an art
But I need your help to start
Oh please purify my heart
I am your servant

the sun began to reign

[Go to Song Page]

A thief fell out of heaven with some loaded dice
But the lamb rolled a seven back to paradise
The bread was finally leavened so I had a slice
And the sun began to rain

Water swelled from fountains and then turned to wine
Rocks fell from the mountains in a chorus line
He came in tails and top hat and he looked so fine
Yes the son began to reign

A fox snuck in to steal away the grapes
But the man who ran the vineyard shut the gate
So he could not escape

And now we'll live forever in another land
Everything is ending like it first was planned
Did you get your invitation to come play in the band
And let the son begin to reign

shot down

[Go to Song Page]

I've been shot down, talked about
Some people scandalize my name
But here I am, talking 'bout Jesus just the same

I been knocked down, kicked around
But like a moth drawn to the flame
Here I am, talking 'bout Jesus just the same

Wo oh oh oh

I been rebuked for the things I've said
For the songs I've written and the life I've led
They say they don't understand me but I'm not surprised
Because you can't see nothing when you close your eyes

They say I'm sinful and backslidden
That I have left to follow fame
But here I am, talking 'bout Jesus just the same

Wo oh oh oh
Go Jonny

Yeah you wanna talk about my life, hey listen to me
You got your facts all backwards, one two three
And spreading rumors and gossip is a real bad game
The only name to spread is Jesus name

I've been shot down, kicked around
But like a moth drawn to the flame
Here I am, talking 'bout Jesus brother
Here I am, talking 'bout Jesus sister
Here I am, talking 'bout Jesus just the same

Wo oh oh oh

six sixty six

[Go to Song Page]

In the midst of the war he offered us peace
He came like a lover from out of the east
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast
His intentions were six sixty six

He walked up to the temple with gold in his hand
And he bought off the priests and propositioned the land
And the world was his harlot and laid in the sand
While the band played six sixty six

We served at his table and slept on the floor
But he starved us and beat us, and nailed us to the door
Well I'm ready to die, I can't take any more
And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks

He told us he loved us but that was a lie
There was blood in his pockets and death in his eyes
Well my number is up and I'm willing to die
If the band will play six si...
If the band will play six sixty si...
If the band will play six sixty six

diamonds

[Go to Song Page]

You can take your diamonds and lock them in your room
And you will lose everything you save
(La la la la la-ah)
You can take your flowers and lay them on his tomb
But I know he rose up from the grave

Wo ho ho oh
Oh ho oh
Oh ho oh oh oh-oh

one way

[Go to Song Page]

One way, one way to heaven
Hold up high your hands
One way, free and forgiven
Children of the lamb

Two roads diverged in the middle of my life
I heard a wise man say
And I took the one less traveled by
And that's made the difference every night and every day

So I say one way, one way to heaven
Hold your heads up high
Follow, free and forgiven
Children of the sky
Children of the sky
Yeah-oh-oh-oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Children of the sky

song for a small circle of friends

[Go to Song Page]

Well my life is filled with songs
But I just could not get along without my friends
And I'm happy now but when this good life ends
I know a better life begins

And love to you sir Stonehill
Armed with your axe full gallop on your amp
Ah you're so crazy but you know it
And I love you as we both crawl toward the lamp

With Clapton on guitar
And Charlie on the drums
McCartney on the Hofner bass
With blisters on his thumbs

Dear Bobby watch your fears all hide
And disappear while love inside starts growing
Ah let it keep growing
You're older but less colder
Than the jokes and folks you spent your childhood snowing

And someone died for all you friends
But even better yet he lives again
And if this song does not make sense to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
He loves you

He loves you, he loves you
And if these words do not appeal to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
He loves you

He loves you, he loves you
And if this song does not make sense to you
I hope his spirit slips on through
You know he loves you

hymn to the last generation

[Go to Song Page]

Come to reason
Face the day
Now's the season
Old things pass away

Stand beside us
Come on and reach out and take
Take (take) his hand
He (he) will guide us
In another, in another land

Special Edition Cassette

In 1988, Larry released a special edition In Another Land cassette, which was closer to his originally intended vision for the album. As well as adding some of the "missing" tracks, it included alternate versions of Deja Vu, Diamonds, One Way, I Am A Servant and Hymn To The Last Generation, as well as a slightly (and possibly accidentally) different version of Song For A Small Circle Of Friends

I have a dream that one day
It a', it appears as though something has happened in the motorcade route. Something I repeat has happened in the motorcade route.
We know it's the presidential car, you can see Mrs Kennedy's pink suit, there's a secret service man spreadeagled over the top of the car
Did you kill the president? No I have not been charged with that. In fact
Now the prisoner eh, has been moved out toward an armoured car. Do you have anything to say in your defence?
Oswald has been shot
Less than fifteen hours after the fighting began at dawn this morning, there was every evidence that Israel has already won the war
But it really don't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop [Cheering]
This is a time of shame and a time of sorrow. No one, no matter where he lives or what he does can be certain whom next will suffer from some senseless act of bloodshed, and yet it goes on and on and on. Why?
Senator Kennedy has been shot, is that possible? No. Not only Senator Kennedy, oh my God
Get that gun. Get the gun, get the gun. Stay away from the gun, (get the gun), stay away from the gun (get the gun)
That's it Redford, get it, get the gun Redford

Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready

Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind

A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head, he's gone
I wish we'd all been ready

Two men walking up a hill
One disappears and one's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind
How could you have been so blind
The father spoke, the demons dined
The son has come and you've been left behind

You've been left behind [x2]

CD releases, up to 1994

Apart from some altered track splits, all of the early CD releases are musically identical. Note that they match the second main US vinyl version, with slightly earlier fade outs on I've Searched All Around The World and Hymn To The Last Generation. Four bonus tracks are added, as below. Note that Strong Love, Strange Peace incorporates what is usually thought of as an individual track - Tuning Up

Backstage, I cross the middle ground
Curtains up and house lights down
I sing love songs and pass myself around
But afterwards
Some people say they thought I put them down
They feel so bad
It does not matter what I say
I hope tomorrow they have a better day

They seem so trapped
They need release
They need your strong love and strange peace

Reporters question me, is this a new direction for the young
How lamb like their faces
How snake like their tongues
They quote me perfectly
Then rewrite every word I speak
And go away convinced we're all some new kind of freaks
I feel so good
It does not matter what they say
Ah ha ha ha ha ha
I hope tomorrow they have a better day

We're all so trapped
We need release
We need your strong love and strange peace
We need your strong love and strange peace
We need your strong love and strange peace

Woo

Will you all welcome Larry Norman [Spoken]

One two three and four [Spoken]

I woke up in the morning I said a morning prayer
I washed my face with soap, I ran my fingers through my hair
I went down to the studio on Hollywood and Vine
The clock said seven thirty well I made it just in time
I greeted the musicians, I grabbed the nearest chair
I started playing my guitar and told the engineer

C'mon (c'mon) let the tape keep rolling [x4]
C'mon let the tape keep rolling, c'mon c'mon c'mon

Well the first song that we cut was called "Lonely By Myself"
I'll do the vocal later you can leave it on the shelf
The second song we cut was called "No More LSD"
The session's getting better I'm as happy as can be
The last song took us seven takes the first one took us ten
Let's take it from the top and give it all we've got

C'mon (c'mon) let the tape keep rolling [x3]
C'mon (c'mon) I can't hear you
C'mon (c'mon) let the tape keep rolling
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon ??

Do you hear me singing on your record machine
The piano's banging, the guitar's twanging
The water cooler's clanging, the light bulb's hanging
The music's playing, the production's clean
Cross fade all the tracks don't leave no spaces in between

C'mon (c'mon) let that tape c'mon c'mon
(C'mon) let that tape keep rolling

C'mon (c'mon) let that tape keep rolling [x2]
C'mon (c'mon) let that tape keep rolling
C'mon c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

I started out ten years ago my guitar in my hand
I took the message in my heart an' played it with a band
I went down to Capitol Records to record Upon This Rock
I wanted to say something, I just let the music talk

I know where I'm going, I know who I must be
I don't care how long it takes, there's lots of things to see

C'mon (c'mon) let your life keep rolling
C'mon (c'mon) let your faith keep growing
C'mon (c'mon) let your love keep showing
C'mon (c'mon) and let the, get going
C'mon get that good news going
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon

We shall be together
And forever we shall stay
On that joyful delta day

Demons they will tremble
Darkness will recede
Satan will be trampled
Captives will be freed
Kingdoms will be broken
Stongholds be brought down
Armies disassembled
Rulers lose their crown
Tyrants will be toppled
Despots be dismayed
On that glorious delta day

Children gather round him
Like flowers in a field
They lift their faces up
Their fears and torments healed
The beasts shall be unburdened
The birds go unrestrained
The oceans be renourished
By creation's sweet refrain
The earth shall be restored
New music shall be played
On that beautiful delta day
Yeah

My future will be written
The past will be erased
My memory could be altered
The end of all disgrace
The troubles that we've had in life
Shall finally be removed
The childhood pain shall pass away
The works of Satan too
The sweet sources of sorrow
The works of love displayed
On that final glorious delta day

Why don't they like the blues

Why don't they sing the blues

Wo-oh oh why don't they need the blues

In Another Land is yet another album that was not compiled as Larry envisaged. It should start The Rock That Doesn't Roll / Top 40 Survey / UFO / I've Searched All Around The World. In his plans, Larry sometimes placed Tuning Up right at the start and sometimes didn't. There is an "Inner Trilogy" here; Top 40 Survey = Past, UFO = Future and I've Searched All Around = Present

Larry, in 1980: In Another Land is the third part of the trilogy. It's about the future, and rather than speculate about what the future might hold, I tried to stick closely to what the bible says it will hold. I think because the future orientated album was so directly tied to the scriptures, people felt this is Larry's best album, because this is the one I like best. Or this is the most christian album. I think that Only Visiting This Planet or So Long Ago The Garden were much better conceptional statements, much better medicine for a non-christian to swallow. The front cover of In Another Land posed a problem. I couldn't really go and stand on a hillside in front of the new Jerusalem, so I just put together a lot of photographs of Israel and photographs of mountainous terrain. The front cover shows a painting of me standing on a hill, for the first time smiling at the camera, because in the new age I won't be troubled as I have always been on my other albums about things like world hunger, and world ignorance, human anger and jealousy and pettiness

Larry, in 1980: The back cover of In Another Land is a photograph of me standing over in Europe, high on a hill. In fact, it was at a castle where I had stayed for several days. It was not open to the public, but the castle keeper knew me, so he invited me to stay with him and his wife and his children. I had this amazing feeling that I was trapped in the past. This castle was amazingly pristine and clumsy in construction and architecture, so I wanted to capture me in yet another land on the back of the album. The private joke with myself was that here I was trapped in another land from the past, but really I was singing about the future
