Five Per Cent For Nothing Lyrics

Five Per Cent For Nothing

Yes drummer Bill Bruford wrote this instrumental about the management of the group. They get 5% for essentially doing nothing. (thanks, Mike - Mountlake Terrace, Washington)

Each of the five members of Yes contributed one track of their own design to this album. Bill Bruford created this, which was played by the entire group with percussion instruments. "The Fish" was created by Chris Squire using only the bass guitar. Steve Howe did "Mood For A Day" as a solo guitar piece. "Cans And Brahms" was arranged by Rick Wakeman, and he played all the parts as well. Jon Anderson sang all the vocal parts in "We Have Heaven" himself. (thanks, Randy - Chicago Heights, IL)

The liner notes for the album describe this song as "a sixteen bar tune by Bill Bruford, played twice by the group, and taken directly from the percussion line."
