Lyrics

it.

[Intro]

When it's cold, it come slow

It is warm, just watch it grow

All around me

[Chorus]

It is here

It is now

[Verse 1]

Just a little bit of it

Can bring you up or down

Like the supper

It is cooking in your hometown

It is chicken, it is eggs

It is in between your legs

It is walking on the moon

Leaving your cocoon

[Pre-Chorus]

It is the jigsaw

It is purple haze

It never stays in one place

But it's not no passing phase

It is in the singles bar

In the distance of the face

It is in between the cages

It is always in a space

[Chorus]

It is here

It is now

[Verse 2]

Any rock can be made to roll

If you've enough of it to pay the toll

It has no home in words or goal

Not even in your favourite hole

It is hope for the dope

Who rides the horse without a hoof

It is shaken, not stirred

Cocktails on the roof

[Pre-Chorus]

When you eat right through it

You see everything alive

It is inside spirit

With enough grit to survive

If you think that it's pretentious

You've been taken for a ride

Look across the mirror, sonny

Before you choose, decide

[Chorus]

It is here

It is now

[Outro]

It is real

It is Rael

'Cause it's only knock and know all but I like it

Yes, it's only knock and know all but l like it

Yes, it's only knock and know all but l like it, like it, like it, like it

It's only knock and know all but l like it, like it, like it

No, it's only knock and know all, yeah, but l like it

Yes, it's only knock and know all and l like it, no, I like it, like it…

How a country estate became Knebworth’s concert institution

How a country estate became Knebworth’s concert institution

Successive generations of headliners made Knebworth famous. Its history also turns on giant screens, repeat bookings and the less glamorous business of clearing up between shows.
