 Well it's harvest time once again after many years of finding these vinyl/CD at Goodwill.  The only album I kept was the Phoenix album since the only songs I knew from him were on it:  Longer and Face The Fire which is odd because they played both songs quite a bit but the later never made it to any greatest or best hits compilations also included.  Looking at the lyrics to that song now finally--I think I can guess why:                  

I hear the thunder

Three miles away

The island's leaking

Into the bay

The poison is spreading

The demon is free

And people are running from

What they can't even see

Face the fire

You can't turn away

The risk grows greater

With each passing day

The waiting's over

The moment has come

To kill the fire

And turn to the sun

They'll take your money

And then take your health

To line their pockets with

Unequaled wealth

These men are under

The power of gold

We won't be safe until we

Shut them down cold

Face the fire

You can't turn away

The risk grows greater

With each passing day

The waiting's over

The moment has come

To kill the fire

And turn to the sun

The people came to the capitol town

One hundred thousand of them

Laid their hearts down

They screamed in anger

And broadcast their fears

Just to have them

Fall on deaf ears

I am kind of regretting giving all those vinyl back now as some of the songs are really sticking!

Here is the lone single from Peoria, Illinois' legendary Coachmen from 1968. Both sides written by and feature Mr. Fogelberg. No idea where I obtained this but it's either from one of Gyro's comps or Dan's Garage.
