Your Move Lyrics

Artist: Yes

I've seen all good people turn their heads each day
so satisfied I'm on my way.
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day
so satisfied I'm on my way.
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 a wife.
'Cause it's time, it's time in time with your time and its news is captured
For the queen to use.
Move me on to any black square,
Use me any time you want,
Just remember that the goal
'Sfor us to capture all we want, anywhere,
Yea, yea, yea.
Don't surround yourself with yourself,
Move on back two squares,
Send an Instant Karma to me,
Initial it with loving care
Don't surround
Yourself.
'Cause it's time, it's time in time with your time and
its news is captured
For the queen to use.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit
Didda.
Don't surround yourself with yourself,
Move on back two squares,
Send an Instant Karma to me,
Initial it with loving care
Don't surround
Yourself with yourself.
Don't surround yourself.
Send an Instant
Karma to me. Don't surround
yourself.
'Cause it's time, it's time in time with your time and its news is captured
For the queen to use.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
Diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit diddit didda.
'Cause it's time, it's time in time with your time and its news is captured.
II. All Good People
(Squire)
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way.
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way.
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way.
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way.
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way.
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way.
Yea, yea.
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way.
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way.
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way.
I've seen all good people turn their heads each day so satisfied I'm on my way.

One amazing song! wow. just wow.

oh and I love the chess references, it kinda helped me play the game ;). Good message.

"Send an instant "comment" to me..." not "Send an instant karma to me..."

by Kathy stuart on 6/21/2010 11:03pm
It IS "Send an Instant Karma to me". Also it's "Make the white queen run so fast, she hasn't got time to make you white."

by willem on 8/19/2010 10:08am
I thought it's a reference to lennon
therefore instant karma

by Icepulse on 1/5/2011 9:56am
@ Kathy:

"...she hasn't got time to make you white."?

I don't think so.

by TA on 4/17/2011 12:04am
"WISE" not white

by Preasbaby on 9/10/2011 1:55pm
It is "instant comment" for sure. And it's not "wife" or "white" but "wise". At least this is how I've been hummering for almost 40 years :)

Instant Karma & white...
you make eense of anything else?
What does Jon Anderson say?

Instant was a hot expression at the time and fits with making your move with love, otherwise, you're catured by the Queen in the game where you gotta get all you want.

Don't agree? Oh, well.

by smfoy on 1/3/2012 2:48pm
It is "...send in Instant Karma to me...". Yes, and especially Jon Anderson, adored John Lennon and the Beatles.

by William Kempe on 1/28/2012 3:31pm
To some it`s karma,
To others comment,
It matters not to me;
The reason that
I love this song
Is diddit, diddit, diddit.

I've always wondered how many times the last line of the song is repeated. My radio station used to play it so the last line was repeated probably about 20 times at least, but more recently they seem to cut it off at about 10 repetitions as it is listed here. Interesting how the last part of the song starts out with upbeat guitar riffs and seemlessly degenerates into a foreboding dirge as the pipe organ/synthesizer kicks in.

by Jamie L on 4/3/2013 10:08pm
It is "instant karma" and it's "wise" not "white" or "wife". All you really have to do is listen to a remake and it's a lot easier to tell for sure.

by Azazal on 7/15/2013 2:04am
Move me on to any black square, use me anytime you want. Just remember that the goal is for us to capture only one !!!

by CQW on 8/28/2014 3:49pm
It's "Send an instant CORNER to me' - maintains the chess theme.

by WA Eng on 8/30/2014 8:05pm
The John Lennon theme of "Instant Karma" makes even more sense when you listen to the background "All we are saying/Is give peace a chance" during some of the "diddits".

by Red on 11/23/2015 7:51pm
Instant comment sounds like something modern-dayish like instagram and twitter and all that, and seeing how there weren't even cell phones yet when this song came out, I think it is more likely Instant Karma. When I saw Jon Anderson in concert he said he was thinking of John Lennon when he wrote this song, so it is most likely Instant Karma.
