I've Seen Good People/Your Move Lyrics

I've seen all good people turn their heads each day

   I've always thought "move on back two squares" was also a pun: "move on back to squares", that is, stop just being around hip people but get to know some geeks as well.

   I remember hearing as a child that the band was driving through a town called "Algood" in Tennesse when they got the idea.

   I read where Yes wrote lyrics strictly based on tonal quality when matched with the music which also included sophistication of the words used. While I do not know if this is actually true, after writing my own music for years I was met with the shock of realizing the lyrics will find their own synchromysticisms as the music score itself taps in to the universe and all of its magic. So whether or not J. Anderson & the boys meant to, I guarantee you the lyrics do indeed mean something, and much more than a simple game of chess. But duly noted of course the white/black checks of the chess board being a definite indicator of such.

   Take a straight and stronger course to the corner of your life.
   Make the white queen run so fast she hasn't got time to make you wise.
   
   'Cause it's time, is time in time with your time and its news it captured
   For the queen to use.
   Move me on to any black square,
   Use me any time you want,
   Just remember that the goal
   Is for us all to capture all we want.
   Yea, yea, yea.
   
   Don't surround yourself with yourself,
   Move on back two squares,
   Send an instant comment to me,
   Initial it with loving care
   Don't surround
   Yourself.
