Reneissance - Midas Man

1977년 WEA 에서 발표. Novella Album에 수록되어있다.

우리나라에서도 이곡(Midas Man)은 대충 알려져 있지만 많은 사람들은 르네상스의 대표적 노래를 오션집시(Ocean Gipsy)로 생각한다.

오션집시 말고도 좋은노래가 꽤 많은데...

Novella 앨범에는 아래와 같은 곡들이 수록 되어있다.

1. Can You Hear Me?

2. The Sisters

3. Midas Man

4. Captive Heart

5. Touching Once(Is So Hard to Keep)

LP판 하나에 5곡 밖에 없다고 하면 요즘 음악듣는 사람들은 기가 막힐 노릇이겠지만 대부분의 곡들이 5-9분정도 되는 대곡들이라고 생각하면 이해가 갈 것이다.

Gold - said the man to the many
I want money and I'll make it grow
I will count my worth in gold - wealth untold
I'll sell my soul - Midas Man

Sold - said the man to the many
Work for me, I'll only steal your time
I will count my money out, there's no doubt
I'll sell my soul - Midas Man - Midas Man

[Chorus:]
I'll take from the blind and I'll get up ahead
I'll sneak up behind and I'll steal
I'll take all that you have
And then all that you've concealed
I'll take anything I can get - I'll make you
I'll break you and I'll make you sweat
Nothing is worth nothing unless it's
Made for Midas Man

Gold - said the man to the many
Pots of gold are all I want from you
Quarter time for treble days the only way
To sell your soul - Midas Man - Midas Man

[Chorus]

Midas - Midas - Midas Man
