A song EVERYONE knows, huh?

-- Was released in 1971

-- Was never released as a single

-- Was played as the last song at EVERY school dance I EVER went to, even though it's really pretty terrible as a slow dance

An injury which has surely all those, gives it is a gold sparkles and it buys a staircase with the sky. For if it there it receives, knows, if all the memories with one are closed the word which can receive it that it came. Of Ooh, ooh and they buy a staircase with the sky. There is a sign on the wall, but it would like to be sure, ' the cause which you know that sometimes, of the words two importances have. In a tree by all sometimes the brook, a bird of song which sings, of our thoughts misgiven has there. Ooh, forms it me miracle, of Ooh, forms to me miracle to him. There is a feeling which I receive, if I look in the west, and my spirit to walk for the abandonment. In my thoughts, I saw the rings of smoke by the trees and the voices of those which upright looking at. It forms of Ooh, me miracle, of Ooh, forms to really me miracle to him. And that murmured to him soon, if we lead all the call then the melody Pfeifer to conclude us. And a new day is born for those which are a long time and the forests echo with the laughter. If it is not Geschaeftigkeit precipitated in their hedgerow, alarm now has, these are to you there precisely a spring which can the queen for is clean. There is to be able to go two manners, you, but in the long run the calm time ago which is put in circuit at road to modify you. It forms and me miracle. Your head whirrs and it does not suit you, if you do not know, Pfeifers who calls you, to connect it, dear injury, can the wind intend to roast and knew you your lies of staircase on the murmuring wind. And as we roll up our shades on to the bottom the road which are higher than our heart. There, an injury us that all know, with which white light shines and to show would like goes, as ev' rything with gold still turns. And if you very strongly hear, the melody comes finally to you. If all are, all is one and to be a rock and not to roll. And it buys a staircase with the sky.

Heh. Pretty easy...

ETA: Everyone got it, which didn't surprise me a bit. What surprised me were the people who actually put a question mark after their answer. You young'uns...

I'm pretty sure it's the German-to-French link that does the brunt of the mangling, myself.
