Tony Carey
Anthony Lawrence Carey (born October 16, 1953, Watsonville, California) is an American-born, European-based musician, composer, producer, and singer/songwriter. One of his earliest musical experiences was in a band called Blessings, in which he played until 1975 when Ritchie Blackmore hired him as keyboardist for Rainbow. He played with Rainbow on two world tours, until 1977. After his departure from Rainbow, he began a solo career, releasing albums under his own name as well under the pseudonym Planet P Project, and producing for and performing with other artists.
Early history
Carey had been playing his church's piano during off hours since he was very young, and he was permitted to play the pipe organ as well. He was fascinated by the sound. His family acquired a piano when he was seven, and he "lived at that piano" until, at age eleven, he got his first acoustic guitar and formed his first group, which played music by The Mamas and the Papas and others. His father gave him a Lowrey organ for his 14th birthday, and he started a rock band with other neighborhood kids, playing music by The Doors. He also played contrabass in his school's orchestra.

A Long Way From Home
in London, Berlin
skinheads are movin´ in
they got the songs, the boots and beer
homegrown bigot every one a patriot
just like we got over here
when times get rough
people ain´t got much
they think you´re trying to take it away
they look for a scapegoat
throw him from the lifeboat
he ain´t like us anyway
and you´re damned if you do
damned if you don´t
no place for you in the middle of the road
you´re walkin´ on a knife´s edge
runnin´ for your life
there ain´t no place for you tonight
you´re a long way from home
you´re got a long long way left to go
on a hot night a knife fight
underneath a street light
sounds like the same old song
this front, that front
nothin´ but a witchhunt
send you back where you belong
and you´re damned if you do
damned if you don´t
no place for you in the middle of the road
you´re walkin´ on a knife´s edge
runnin´ for your life
there ain´t no place for you tonight
you´re a long way from home
you´re got a long long way left to go
you´re a long way from home
