Hideaway and
Highway.
It's a lovely night
It's a lovely night
Well, the sky is clear and the stars are bright
It's a lovely night
But I'll go lookin' for the fallin' rain
Keep on movin', keep on playin' that game
Let's go lookin' for the fallin' rain
It's a lovely night (It's a lovely night)
It's a lovely night (It's a lovely night)
Well, the sky is clear and the stars they are bright
It's a lovely night (It's a lovely night)
But I'll go lookin' for the fallin' rain
Keep on movin', keep on playin' that game
Let's go lookin' for the fallin' rain
On this lovely night
This lovely night
On this lovely night
On this lovely night
This lovely night
On this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night
Wo ho ho ho ho ho, this lovely night
Highway Highlight (from the box set booklet)
Hideaway, released April 1976, resembled Hearts in its eclectic
mix of sounds and styles. "Lovely Night," for instance, was a Beckley-composed
reggae track with a simple, happy lyric. "'Woman Tonight' had already touched
on this area, as did [The Beatles'] 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,'" says Gerry. "This
is all just on the surface of what true reggae is about, but that's what it
was. I loved that offbeat vibe. It's not a bad song, but I'm indifferent to
it."
