Biography:
The Move evolved from several mid 1960s Birmingham based groups, including Carl Wayne & The Vikings, The Nightriders & The Mayfair Set. The group's name seems to refer to the move various members of these bands made to form the group. Beside Roy Wood, the original members of the Move were drummer Bev Bevan, bassist Chris "Ace" Kefford, vocalist Carl Wayne & guitarist Trevor Burton.
Their first single, 'Night of Fear' was released in 1966 and was the first in a line of memorable hits penned chiefly by Roy Wood.

Maybe I?ll drink your jasmine tea then I?ll hurry home.
Surely you know the likes of me should be left alone.
Why they like a me for, soon enough the world will end
If I answer the door.
VERSE 3
Look at the tall pagoda through, through your window pane.
watching you fly your dragon kite on a cocoa day.
You?ve discovered the white orchids in my humble moon
while the lantern is bright.
