With Yes a lot of focus is always on the lengthy epics, but they have done a handfull of short songs as well. So which Yes song under 3 minutes is your favorite? Vote in the poll and expound in a post.

Probably not a 'song' as such, but I also love We Have Heaven.

Good with chips - Jon Lizard Man
Surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come - P. Shelley
This is the strangest life I've ever known - J. Morrison

CYI hands down! Funny thing is, I always thought it was longer. lol!!
Yeah.
One look at the list, and I was already missing
Five Percent For Nothing. Yeah, I know it's a solo piece from Fragile, but they're all playing on it.
You're also missing Clear Days, although it's mostly string quartet plus piano.
And Picasso.
And I'm Down. Both of these are pretty complete group tracks
Fly From Here - Overture
Fly From Here, Pt. V - We Can Fly From Here Reprise
Endless Dream: Silent Spring
Endless Dream: Endless Dream . . . well these are all part of larger works, but still, they're listed as individual tracks under 3:00 . . .
And then there's Evensong (Union) (Bruford and Levin)
Vevey, Part 2
Vevey, Part 1 . . . both of which seem to be Wakeman and Howe just noodling around
We Have Heaven (all Anderson? . . . I don't know . . . sounds like Chris might be playing as well.)
Cans and Brahms (all Wakeman)
Montreaux's Theme (just a demo, but still has at least three of 'em playing.
Amazing Grace (all Chris)
The Fish (Chris featured, but seems to have Alan and Steve as well)
In The Tower (Anderson, Squire and Wakeman)
Let's Pretend (ABWH)

I did take only songs of the official studio albums and that, as far as I know but I could have made a mistake, the whole band was playing on. I did overlook 'let's pretend'.
Anyway, my own choice would be 'Cinema'. Great rocking track with some great playing of all involved.

Can You Imagine I just wish it was longer. I nearly voted for Time is Time but I actually love the way it's a short coda to the CD and like to hear it in that context.
