Yours Is No Disgrace Lyrics

Artist: Yes
Album: The Yes Album

(Yes and David Foster)

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer change to winter, yours is no disgrace.

Battleships confide in me and tell me where you are,
Shining, flying, purple wolfhound, show me where you are,
Lost in summer, morning, winter, travel very far,
Lost in musing circumstances, that's just where you are.

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer change to winter, yours is no,
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.

Death defying, mutilated armies scatter the earth,
Crawling out of dirty holes, their morals, their morals disappear.

Yesterday a morning came, a smile upon your face.
Caesar's palace, morning glory, silly human, silly human race,
On a sailing ship to nowhere, leaving any place,
If the summer change to winter, yours is no,
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.
Yours is no disgrace.

Real lyric is "lost in losing circumstances". That's straight off the CD insert.

Also, the second verse repeats at the end and each chorus gains one "silly human."

And all this time I thought it was "See The Human Race"! Just goes to show you what I know!

None of you know that this song was written about me.

I distinctly hear "lost in musing circumstances' which is probably correctly rendered "lost in 'musing circumstances'....as in amusing circumstances; after all, we are the "silly" human race.

Musing, yes definately musing.

For forty years, I've been convinced that it was a song about Evel Kneivel and his iconic motorcycle jump at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, which failed gloriously.

Caesar's Palace is clearly a reference to Vegas!

I always thought he said " city hunman race" haha. that was why I came here and now I know haha. As for meaning, I never really knew what the hell it was about and pretty much thought it was just wordplay as somebone else said but, I will say that Absolute_Truth 's interpretation sounds very plausible...it does work pretty good.

"Lost in summer, born in winter, travel very far / Lost in losing circumstances, that's just where you are." Also; "Armies gather near." I'll bet you money on it!!! To me it's about war, but I've always found Jon's lyrics to be both very spiritual & very impressionistic. Love it...YES!!!
