Just the Same/Proclamation (2025 Dan Bornemark Mix) (Live)
[Just the Same]
[Verse 1: Derek Shulman]
See me, what I am, what I was, what I'll be
Hear me, understand that I'm not what you see
Take this, take the man, middle term, common me
[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do?
Nothing more and nothing less than you
Read no thoughts, I didn't think myself
Just the same as anybody else
[Verse 2: Derek Shulman]
Make me someone else, put me up on a stand
Something that I don't really want on my hands
Use me, idolize all you can understand
[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do?
Nothing more and nothing less than you
Read no thoughts, I didn't think myself
Just the same as anybody else
[Instrumental Break 1:37–3:44]
[Guitar Solo]
[Keyboard Solo]
[Verse 1: Derek Shulman]
See me, what I am, what I was, what I'll be
Hear me, understand that I'm not what you see
Take this, take the man, middle term, common me
[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do?
Nothing more and nothing less than you
Read no thoughts I didn't think myself
Just the same as anybody else
[Instrumental Break 4:19–5:30]
[Proclamation/Valedictory]
[Verse 3: Derek Shulman]
You may not have all you want or you need
All that you have has been due to my hand
[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
It can change, it can stay the same
Who can say? Who can make their claim?
[Hook: Derek Shulman & Kerry Minnear & Ray Shulman & Gary Green]
Hail, hail, hail, hail
Hail!
[Verse 4: Derek Shulman]
Unity's strength
And all must be as one
Confidence in you
Hope will reflect in me
I think everyone
Not as my nation
For you are my people
And there must be no change
[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
It can change, it can stay the same
Who can say? Who can make their claim?
[Hook: Derek Shulman & Kerry Minnear & Ray Shulman & Gary Green]
Hail, hail, hail, hail
[Instrumental Break 6:49–8:08]
[Interlude: Derek Shulman & Kerry Minnear & Ray Shulman]
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to Glory's way
Hail to Power and to
[Verse 5: Derek Shulman]
And though the hard times are really due to me
It still is in me, to wave all this unrest
[Chorus: Derek Shulman]
Things must stay, there must be no change
Anyway, time to rearrange
[Outro: Derek Shulman & Kerry Minnear & Ray Shulman]
Hail!

Guten tag, Dusseldorf
Bonsoir, wherever you are
And hello, wherever you are, if we're going on tape
This thing we'd like to do now is kind of a
A song which, er, will feature, um, instruments which will resemble a violin and a cell— (Oh!)
Hi, you're on there now. Violin and cello and, er, which will feature some vocal strangeness towards the end
This song is taken from the album Free Hand
This thing is called On Reflection
