Maze signed a contract with Capitol Records in 1976, and released their debut LP, "Maze featuring Frankie Beverly", in 1977. They had great success with the debut and the following albums "Golden Time of Day" (1978), "Inspiration" (1979) and "Joy and Pain" (1980).

Their most acclaimed recording is "Live in New Orleans" (three quarters of which was recorded at the Saenger Theatre November 14-15, 1980). By now the band had a reputation as one of the best live acts in American soul music, also enjoying a great following in United Kingdom. In 1989, they released the hit album "Silky Soul", the excellent "Back to Basics" album in 1993, and a live recording at London's Hammersmith Odeon in 1994.

Maze Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can tell that I'm a lucky man
Got me friends and a real good band
I don't want for nothin but to do my thing
Play my music and I love to sing

All I need to get some satisfaction
Your true love give me quick reaction
Now I'm able to get along

I know the difference between right and wrong

Time is on my side o yea Time is on my side o yea
Time is on my side o yea Time is on my side o yea

I've been down and I've seen the rain
I paid my dues and I'm still the same
I just want my freedom so I can be myself
To live my life for nobody else

All I need to get some satisfaction
Your true love give me quick reaction
Now I'm able to get along
I know the difference between right and wrong

Time is on my side o yea Time is on my side o yea
Time is on my side o yea Time is on my side o yea

The heart of the ocean. The Origin. The Pre-Eminent. The Filet Mignon of the Beef. The Crux of The Situation. The Power Plug to the Generator. Choose your euphemism. This song, "Time Is On My Side" defines the entire MAZE musical philosophy and aesthetic, all in the space of 5 minutes. This song gave birth to all the rest.
