Hey! fly away with me to extacy
Fly away with me to extacy
Love can drive away your sorrows, yeah
Love can drive away your fears
Now let me take you somewhere where tranquillity is the key
You and I alone baby making sweet love, you know

Take a ride upon my magic carpet
Fly away with me with perfect secret
Let me show you things never seen before
To distant stars we float amongs the cosmo
Fun and laughter, watch your pretty glow
That's my treat and baby that's my show, oh yeah

Girl I love you more than words can tell
You are in heaven, why should I give you any?
Girl I love you more and more each day
Pinchers promise, tell me you will stay

'cause love can drive away your sorrows
Love can drive away your fears
In you I see my bride tomorrow
I know love is here to stay

While we float upon' our magic carpet
Galactic winds are blowing underneath it
And it will take us anywhere we wanna go, yeah

I stop at mars to rock over to venus
And in your hear a sprinkle gold and stardust
Braise for love I am gonna give you instant love

'cause love can drive away your sorrows, yeah
Love can drive away your fears, yeah
In you I see my bride tomorrow
I know love is here to stay

I love it when your dancing on top of my feet to the rhythm of our heartbeat
I love it when your dancing on top of my feet to the rhythm of our heartbeat

Fly away with me to extacy
Fly away with me to extacy
You know, love can drive away your sorrows
Love can drive away your fears, my fears, your fears
In you I see my bride tomorrow
I know love is here to stay

The rhythm we are giving is the rhythm of our home
I got to know this woman she's a bone of my bone
And dancin on top of my feet to the rhythm of our heartbeat
Fly away with me to extacy
Fly away with me to extacy

I told you that tranquillity would be the key...(fading)

The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage.

Their hit singles include their debut “Food for Thought”, “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Both of these also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band’s version of “I Got You Babe”.
