Quotes:

David Copperfield: That is what he is, this fellow; a cold blooded, calculation fortune hunter, without honour, scruple, or mercy.::Mr. Edward Murdstone: [overturns the table they are sitting at] Be silent!::David Copperfield: I have been silent too long! I will be silent no more!::Miss Jane Murdstone: Edward... come away::Mr. Edward Murdstone: Hold your tounge!::David Copperfield: He bullied, and harried my poor, weak mother into her grave!::Mr. Edward Murdstone: Yes, she was weak. But it was not I who preyed upon her weakness, it was here own SON, who drained her of the strenght he needed with his wild behaviour and importunate demands!::David Copperfield: You killed her, as deliberately, and as pitilessly, as if you had thrust a knife into her heart!::Mr. Edward Murdstone: Repeat that in england, sir! Repeat that in a place, where you cant evade the laws of slander!::David Copperfield: I'll do better than that; I'll write it!

Plot
David Copperfield lives a nearly idyllic existence with his beautiful mother Clara and their housekeeper Peggotty. His life changes forever when his mother re-marries. Mr. Murdstone is a no-nonsense businessman and a strict disciplinarian who believes in corporal punishment. David is soon sent to a strict boarding school but when his mother dies, his stepfather sends him to London to work in a foul smelling factory. He forms a close friendship with Mr. Micawber and moves in with the man and his loving family but as the Micawbers are forced by circumstance to relocate, he seeks out his aunt Betsey Trotwood. She sends him to fine school and he lodges with Mr. Wickfield and his daughter Agnes. As he grows older David is apprenticed to a law firm where he soon meets the senior partner's daughter, Dora. Life's challenges continue to confront him but with the help of friends and family, he overcomes adversity including his aunt's loss of her savings, the death of his wife and the satisfaction of seeing the conniving Uriah Heep sent to a penal colony.

Quotes:

Barkis: [repeated] Barkis is willin'!

Murdstone: [to David] You will defy me no further, boy! You will learn!

Murdstone: This boy, you should know, Miss Trotwood, has a sullen, rebellious spirit, a violent temper and an intractable disposition.::Miss Murdstone: Of all the boys in the world, this is the worst boy.::Betsey Trotwood: Strong, Miss Murdstone.::Miss Murdstone: But not at all too strong for the situation.::Betsey Trotwood: Indeed? Well, sir?::Murdstone: I placed this boy in a respectable business. He ran away from it. The facts, I propose, speak for themselves.::Betsey Trotwood: About this respectable business, a blacking factory, I believe. If he had been your own boy, you would have put him to it just the same, I suppose.::Murdstone: I had my own opinion. This is the best way of bringing up this particular boy. I act on them and I say no more about them.::Betsey Trotwood: I see. What else do you have to say?::Murdstone: Merely this: I have come to take my stepson back. I will deal with him as I think right and dispose of him as I think proper. If you seek to impede me in any way, if you step between us now, you do so forever.::Betsey Trotwood: What does the boy say? Are you ready to go, David?::Young David Copperfield: Please don't make me leave you, Aunt. They made my Mama very unhappy and they never cared for me. I want to stay here with you and Mr. Dick.::Betsey Trotwood: Mr. Dick, what shall I do with this child?::Mr. Dick: I'd have him measured for a suit of clothes directly.::Betsey Trotwood: Mr. Dick, give me your hand. [She shakes his hand] For your common sense is invaluable. [Takes David in her arms] I'll take my chance with the boy. If he is all you say he is, I can at least do as much for him as you have done. But I don't believe a word of it!::Murdstone: [Standing up angrily] Miss Trotwood, if you were a gentleman...::Betsey Trotwood: BAH! Stuff and nonsense! Don't talk to me!::Miss Murdstone: How exquisitely polite. Overpowering, really.::Betsey Trotwood: [to Murdstone, ignoring Jane] You think I don't know what kind of life you've led this child's mother? It was a woeful day when you first appeared, smirking, making great eyes at her, so you wouldn't say "Boo!" to a ghost!::Miss Murdstone: I've never heard anything to elegant.::Betsey Trotwood: [Still ignoring Jane] And when you'd made quite sure of the poor little thing, you began to train her and break her. Like a caged bird, wearing her life away and teaching her to sing your notes.::Miss Murdstone: 'Tis either insanity or intoxication.::Betsey Trotwood: [Still ignoring Jane] You broke her heart, then punished the boy, because of your own guilt! There's the truth for your comfort, and you and your instrument may make the most of it!::Miss Murdstone: May I inquire whom you are referring to as an instrument?::Betsey Trotwood: Good day, sir! And Goodbye! [Murdstone leaves without a word]

Betsey Trotwood: [to Jane Murdstone] Let me see you ride a donkey over my green again, and I'll knock your bonnet off. And tread upon it!

Murdstone: David, if I have an obstenent dog or horse to deal with, what do you think I do? I beat him. I make him wince and smart. I say to myself, "I'll conquer that fellow, and even if it costs him every drop of blood he has, I'll do it." [Grasps David firmly] Do we understand each other? [David nods] Good. [Strokes David's head] Now wash your face and come downstairs directly.

Miss Murdstone: Generally speaking, I don't like boys.

Murdstone: What name did you just call your mistress?::Peggotty: [Coldly] Mrs Copperfield, same as always, sir.::Murdstone: But she has a new name now: Murdstone. Oblige me by remembering that in future.

Betsey Trotwood: I don't allow anybody to ride over this turf. I make no exceptions.::Miss Murdstone: Your regulation is rather awkward to strangers.

Quotes:

Mr. Micawber: [to young Copperfield] Boy, as I have frequently had occasion to observe, "When the stomach is empty, the spirits are low."

Aunt Betsy Trotwood: Now that there's a child coming, what will you call your girl?::Mrs. Clara Copperfield: Perhaps it will be a boy.::Aunt Betsy Trotwood: Don't contradict. I have a pre-sentiment that it will be a girl. And I shall be her godmother. She shall be christened Betsy Trotwood Copperfield. She must be well brought up, I shall see to that. Far better than my impractical nephew would have done.::Mrs. Clara Copperfield: Mr. Copperfield has been dead only six months. It is cruel of you to speak unkindly of him to me.

Mrs. Clara Copperfield: What have you got against Mr Murdstone?::Nurse Peggotty: [unimpressed at the meer mention of his name] Huh!::Mrs. Clara Copperfield: Is it to be hinted at that I am lacking in affection for my precious treasure? The dearest little fellow that ever was!::Nurse Peggotty: Nobody ever went an hinted no such thing.::Mrs. Clara Copperfield: Am I a naughty mama to you, Davy? Am I a nasty and selfish bad mama? I don't love you at all do I::David Copperfield as a child: [tearful] Yes you do...::Nurse Peggotty: [the tearful three embrace] I never meant to hurt you, m'am. I never meant to.

Barkis: No sweethearts I believe?::David Copperfield as a child: What?::Barkis: No person courting?::David Copperfield as a child: Oh. No, no.::Barkis: Ahhh. Well, when you is talking to her private, perhaps you'd tell her that Barkis is willing.::David Copperfield as a child: That Barkis is willing. Is that all the message?::Barkis: Well, y... y... yes. Barkis is willing.::David Copperfield as a child: Very well, Mr Barkis. I'll tell her.

Mr. Micawber: [Coming to David's rescue] Gentlemen!... Gentlemen!... Gentlemen!... Gentlemen!... In the aggregate I judge you to be a highly distasteful collection. And to detail: cowardly, uncouth, and deserving of merciless chastisement. You'll oblige me by removing your unsavory persons from my immediate vicinity. In short: GET OUT!

Mr. Micawber: Copperfield, you perceive before you, the shattered fragments of a temple once call Man. The blossom is blighted. The leaf is withered. The God of Day goes down upon the dreary scene. In short, I am forever floored.

David Copperfield as a child: But why must I go away, Aunt Betsey? I want to stay with you, and Mr. Dick.::Aunt Betsy Trotwood: But you have to be educated, David, and take your place in the world. There isn't a finer school in Canterbury than Dr. Strong's. You must make us proud, David. Never be mean in anything. Never be false. Never be cruel. Avoid these three vices, and I can always be hopeful of you.

Dan Peggotty: [Peggotty sits down with David Copperfield to tell him the fate of Emily, who had run off with Steerforth] Master Davy... It was in Naples, by the sea. There he wearied of her, and left her. When she knowed she was abandoned, her heart died in her. That snake - his servant - insulted her. Told her he'd been left there by his master to marry her. Something cast off for a servant's use. She tried to die by her own hand. So he locked her up, imprisoned her. And she, my poor lass, when night come, she forced a window and escaped to the shore.::Dan Peggotty: [Peggotty continues talking, as scene changes to show Emily struggling along a rocky, windswept shore] She fought herself home. Wandering on the Yarmouth beach, she stumbled on calling out for us who loved her. Thinking that here was the old boat, and there was her dear friends. When morning broke, they found her. By God's mercy, they took her in and cared for her.::Dan Peggotty: [Scene changes back to Peggotty and Copperfield, as Peggotty continues] All night long, we've been together. Her arms around my neck, and her head laid here. We knows full well we can put our trust in one another forevermore.

Mrs. Gummidge: I'm a lone, lorn creature. And everything goes contrary with me.

Mr. Murdstone: If I have an obstinate horse or a dog to deal with what do you think I'd do?::David Copperfield as a child: I don't know.::Mr. Murdstone: I'd beat him. I'd make him wince and smart. I say to myself, "I'll conquer that fellow". And if it were to cost him all the blood he had, I'd do it.

Uriah Heep - Gypsy (Official from "Live at Koko, London 2014")

Updated: 19 Dec 2014

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the release of URIAH HEEP’s newest live album entitled “Live at Koko, London 2014” on February 20th 2015 in Europe and February 24th in North America. In January 2011, the band returned to the studio to record “Into the Wild” and the band once again returned to the road for a worldwide tour. Playing to nearly 150,000 people, in Eastern Europe, Australia, Japan, and America and playing in 58 different countries in total. On March 4th 2014, Uriah Heep played in front of their “home” audience in London and performed an amazing show which was recorded in HD for a release in Double cd/dvd and, for the first time, on Blu-Ray. “Recording a live DVD in London at Koko's was just fantastic. Our fans travelled from all over the world to be there, and be part of this magic night,” says Mick Box. “This added so much to the atmosphere, and thankfully it was captured on camera. We debuted two songs from our new CD, 'Outsider,' that night, and the reaction was just incredible, proving that we have the best fans in the world.” Originally founded by vocalist David Byron and guitarist Mick Box, Uriah Heep has been through an incredible number of permutations, with Mick Box always at the helm. Long standing keyboard player Phil Lanzon and vocalist Bernie Shaw were recruited nearly 30 years ago in 1986. Drummer Russell Gilbrook who has now been with the band 7 years, has recorded studio albums “Wake the Sleeper”, “Into the Wild” & “Outsider”. “Wake the Sleeper” heralded an exciting new phase for the band, taking Heep’s classic sound right into the future. The band celebrated its 40th anniversary with an aptly titled greatest hits re-recordings album called “Celebration”. Dave Rimmer, who had been standing in for Trevor Bolder (ex-David Bowie's Spiders From Mars), continues as the bassist, with the band’s diary for the foreseeable future as full as ever. “Live at Koko, London 2014” track listing includes: CD1 : Against The Odds; Overload; Traveller In Time; Sunrise; Stealin’; I’m Ready; Between Two Worlds; Can’t Take That Away; One Minute; Nail On The Head. CD2 : Into The Wild; Gypsy; Look At Yourself; Box Wah Box; July Morning; Lady In Black; Free’n’Easy; Easy Livin’. DVD (Blu Ray) : Against The Odds; Overload; Traveller In Time; Sunrise; Stealin’; I’m Ready; Between Two Worlds; Can’t Take That Away; One Minute; Nail On The Head; Into The Wild; Gypsy; Look At Yourself; Box Wah Box; July Morning; Lady In Black; Free’n’Easy; Easy Livin’.

Top Uriah Heep, Abominog

On the rebound, on the rebound
That's how you fell for me
That's how you changed my life
You cut me like a knife
On the rebound, on the rebound
You came, you saw, you took
It only took one look
And lady, I was hooked
On the rebound - it's a replay ...
Your love was on the rebound
On the rebound
You came and took my soul
You came and left a hole
Where your love used to be
On the rebound, on the rebound
You like to drown in your tears
And after all these years
You give your pain to me
On the rebound - you came to me, babe
On the rebound - to set you free
On the rebound - too bad for me
Your love was on the rebound
You came to me
To set you free
To pray for me
It's a replay
You came to repay
It's a replay
To set you free
Just a replay
Your love was
Just a replay

Top Uriah Heep, DREAMMARE

Grinning demons, smiling sideways, laughing in my face.
Here within my troubled sleep is such a lonely place.
Running fast but never moving, I can't get away.
Strange but realistic objects making me their prey.
Then it's gone as fast as it came - evil dream.
Changing like the sun turns to rain - it would seem.
Dining with the gods of beauty on a distant shore.
Tasting foods of untold sweetness never seen before.
Dancing stars with crystal voices beckon with their eyes.
Unicorn of many colors rides to paradise.
Then it's gone as fast as it came - peaceful scene.
Changing like the sun turns to rain - it would seem.
Sleepless nights, that last a lifetime, crucify my head.
Dreams of peace and then disaster - wish that I were dead.
Looking for the end of darkness, seeking out the day.
For escape with speed of thought is bearing me away.
Then it's gone as fast as it came - evil dream.
Changing like the sun turns to rain - it would seem.

Top Uriah Heep, BIRD OF PREY

I can see that look that sends me where
you try to move in closer if you dare.
So I will sit and play my waiting game.
And for a while I know you'll do the same.
Oh No!
Watches like an eagle from its tree,
then like a bird of prey she captured me.
But I am older and more wise than you.
Bird of prey - straight into me you fool.
Oh No!
Now every time I try to set her free - Yeah! Ooh!
I'm glad to say she comes right back to me - Ah!
But if I knew she didn't want to stay - Yeah! Ooh Ah!
I wouldn't try to keep that lovely bird of prey - Ooh Ah!

Top Uriah Heep, IN THE MOMENT

Here we are
Once more in a world full of fantasy
Dream again
You need to believe in a future
That's bright as the sun
Shining there for you
Shining there for me
I am the mountain high, I am the sea
In the moment you take possession
It'll all disappear and there's the lesson
And the minute you think it's over
Say the word and your dream
Is coming back
All the way
I followed the road that was real to me
And suddenly
You take it for granted
And things don't turn out
Like you planned
When you think you've found
What is good and true
Through the open door
It can really turn on you
So here we are
We look for the light in so many eyes
And in our life
When hope starts to fade
There's a strength that
We give to each other
Walking in the sky over everyone
Head above the coulds

Top Uriah Heep, IMAGINATION

Sometimes I'm certain
Sometimes my mind is
Filled with doubt
Some thoughts lay heavy here
Sometimes I think it's figured out
Imagination
Endless voyage of discovery
I'm at once impatient and afraid
Some day you may walk out on me
At least when you're with me
I'm not afraid to live with mystery
I'm sure you know how sad
One night without a dream can be
Imagination, bitter-sweet companion
As my time flies by
Love-hate relation
Hand in hand toward infinity
Lead me here, lead me there
Everywhere if you really dare
Today, tonight, tomorrow
You don't have to take my hand
I'll take it just the way it's planned
Lead on, speed on, I'll follow
When you see me coming
You're gonna know I'm not alone
Me and my imagination
We'll be side by side any way
The wind is blown
Love songs and fantasies
They've kept us busy
Since the day we met
Each new horizon

Top Uriah Heep, LOGICAL PROGRESSION

Top Uriah Heep, LIFELINE

Well, I'm not superstitious
But there's something going on inside
Could be friendly, could be vicious
And there isn't any place to hide
It's my imagination, a blessing or a curse
No, I can't ignore it for better or for worse
It wakes me when I'm sleeping
A thief that takes my breath away
And I find myself reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline and bring me back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time
Sometimes, I can't control it
Sometimes, it isn't there at all
Sometimes, I try to roll it
And wind up staring at the wall
My imagination, I love the games it plays
I get in so deep that I get lost for days and days
It sometimes leaves me shakin'
Standin' in the dark alone
And I find myself reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline and bring me back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time
Can't you see that I am reaching?
And I find myself reaching for a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline and bring me back, back in time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down for the last time
I need a lifeline, throw me a lifeline
I'm going down, down, down, down, down for the last time
Lifeline, going down for the last time

Top Uriah Heep, LOOK AT YOURSELF

I see you runnin' - don't know what you're runnin' from.
Nobody's comin' - what'd you do that was so wrong?
Look back and turn back - look at yourself.
Don't be afraid just look at yourself.
If you need assistance - or if all you need is love,
there's no point in hiding - tell me what your frieghtened of.
You've got a friend just look at yourself.
Don't be afraid just look at yourself.
Look back and turn back - look at yourself.

Top Uriah Heep, LONELY NIGHTS

Will you risk your reputation
I don’t know
You just don’t know
What you’re saying
Anymore
You know beggars
Can’t be choosers
And it’s fair
We may win, we may be loosers
I don’t care, no no no
Oh baby, I just can’t stand
Another lonely night
So come on over and save me
Save me from another lonely night
I hear every word you’re saying
They’re all lies
But with every breath you’re taking
You’re thinking of
Ways to say goodnight
Baby, I just can’t stand
Another lonely night
So come on over and save me
Save me from another lonely night
Come on over

Top Uriah Heep, JULY MORNING

There I was on a July morning looking for love.
With the strength of a new day dawning and the beautiful sun.
At the sound of the first bird singing I was leaving for home.
With the storm and the night behind me and a road of my own.
With the day
came the resolution
I'll be looking for you.
I was looking for love in the strangest places.
There wasn't a stone that I left unturned.
I must have tried more than a thousand faces,
but not one was aware of the fire that burned
In my heart,
in my mind,
in my soul.
In my heart,
in my mind,
in my soul.
There I was on a July morning - I was looking for love.
With the strength of a new day dawning and the beautiful sun.
At the sound of the first bird singing I was leaving for home.
With the storm and the night behind me and a road of my own.
With the day
came the resolution

Top Uriah Heep, It Ain't Easy

You make it all sound easy
Now you’ve tasted all my wine
I never wanted to hear the news
That you’d found another man
But it’s hard to see
What you want from me
It’s not easy to be in-between
It’s now up to you to
Make the move this time
But it ain’t easy when you
Don’t know where to turn
And it ain’t easy
But you take the chance
The final chance to learn
Yes, to learn
That it ain’t easy when you
Don’t know where to turn
And it ain’t easy, so you take a look
Another look at life - look at life
‘Cause it ain’t what you’ve got
In the palm of your hand
And it’s not what you’ll get
From another man
That will last you
The rest of your life my friend
Monday morning’s waiting
Take a look at what you see
Make the most of your life
Don’t keep the pages clean
Baby, now you’ve got this chance
Don’t leave me out
It’s so hard when
You’re in-between
What you need and
What may never be

Top Uriah Heep, Lady In Black

She came to me one morning, one lonely Sunday morning,
her long hair flowing in the mid-winter wind.
I know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking,
and destruction lay around me from a fight I could not win.
She asked me name my foe then. I said the need within some men
to fight and kill their brothers without thought of men or god.
And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies,
so eager was my passion to devour this waste of life.
But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals,
so easy to begin and yet impossible to end.
For she the mother of all men had counciled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay.
"Oh lady lend your hand," I cried, "Oh let me rest here at your side."
"Have faith and trust in me," she said and filled my heart with life.
There is no strength in numbers. I've no such misconceptions.
But when you need me be assured I won't be far away.
Thus having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear.
My labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone.
I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day.
And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise.

Top Uriah Heep, KEEP ON RIDIN'

Keep on ridin' ...
By tomorrow morning
At the early dawn
I gotta hit the road
So long lady
Till another day, right now
I gotta be movin' on
There's another town and
The singer needs a song
I know you're on your own
I'll be back before too long
I gotta do what I gotta do
And you know how
My heart loves to run, I gotta ride
Keep on ridin'
Keep on ridin' now
There's a city waiting
And a railroad station
Where my face is known
And an old hotel
That I know so well
It's a little bit like home
It's a situation
Not of my own choosing
And though a gamblin' man
Would say that I was losing
I started out to win
And I'll do it again
I'm never givin' in
'Cause if it comes down
To my heart, or to my pride
I'm gonna ride
Keep on ridin', keep on ridin'
Keep on ridin', yeah
Keep on ridin', keep on ridin'
And I know you say
I'm driftin', driftin' on a dream
You'd better watch your step boy
It may not be what it seems
I just can't shake
This feeling here inside
This heart of mine
Keeps tellin' me to ride, ride, ride

Top Uriah Heep, Raging Silence

The gates have opened
Now I'm a free man
My time is over
I need a new plan
But I've had no loving
For a year and a day
My lady's waiting
Got a taste for her wine
She's wearing money
But none of it's mine
She's been surviving
While I've been wasting away
Back in my room
It ain't quite the same
You can't hide it
I'm onto your game
Rough justice, there's no disguise
And I can tell by
The look in your eyes
Rough justice, I've had my share
I've done my time
But I'm still running scared
Rough justice
Coming down on me
Long arm of the law
Never setting me free
Rough justice, I bide my time
Back in action, I'm riding the crest
And putting all that
I've learned to the test
No complications
Taking it day by day
Freedom of movement
Freedom of choice
Free to be right back here
With the boys
Ready to listen
But you've got nothing to say
Back in my room
It ain't quite the same
Just can't help it
I'm part of your game
Back in my room
It ain't quite the same
You can't hide it
Just part of your game
Rough justice ...

Top Uriah Heep, DEVIL'S DAUGHTER

I don't believe in your kind of affection
Your taking me in the wrong direction
Don't give me none of that holy water
Comin' on like you're The Devil's daughter
Just take me to your chapel
Show me to your leader
Take me to your chapel
I wanna meet your leader, yea
Come on
How do you find the time to exist?
I've got to keep my strength of mind to resist
Don't give me none of that holy water
Comin' on like you're The Devil's daughter
Just take me to your chapel
Show me to your leader
Take me to your chapel
I wanna meet your leader, yea, yea
Oh man, come on man
Come on man now take me there
Where do you come from and where do you go?
Can I touch without havin' to know?
Don't give me none of that holy water
Comin' on like you're The Devil's daughter
Just take me to your chapel
Show me to your leader
Take me to your chapel

Top Uriah Heep, Love, Hate & Fear

Dream in a lonely room
Fly on a star
Think of the forcing time
Then know where you are
Fear is the strongest force
Love, love is the key
Where is my hatred now?
Love rules over me
Something i have failed to see
The haunted of a memory
Darkness keeps my thoughts at bay
But i will find my dream one day
Hate, hate is my only thought
Blame, the blame is on you
Why, why, why, why
Why did you leave my side?
Heaven knows quite a few
Something i have failed to see
Like a haunted of a memory
Darkness keeps my thoughts at bay
But i will find my dream one day

Everybody got somebody
Trying to make you feel real bad
Aint' none of their business
Talking behind your back
Be strong in yourself

Lightning strikes
Before you hear the thunder
Stay on top - never go under

Be strong enough to take it
Ain't no need to rest

Stay on top - never go under
Lightning strikes
Before you hear the thunder

Watch out for the thunder
Bad times make you cry
But the good times get you high

I can't stand it no more
Somebody, everybody
Trying to make you feel real bad

Talking behind your back
Be strong in yourself
Stand up - walk away
Nobody's gonna listen
To a single word you say
Stay on top - never go under
Lightning strikes
Before you hear the thunder
Stay on top - never go under
Hold on tight
Look out for the thunder
Stay on top
You've got to stay on top
Stand up and sing it
Stay on top
Take care of business

I've done the rancher's daughter
And I sure did hurt his pride - Ha

Between his hide and mine
I don't need no food and no water

Top Uriah Heep, SPIRIT OF FREEDOM

(REALISING THE NEW WORLD)
I know instinctively
When something is right
With no one there to save me
You came into my life
The words you whispered
Still echo in my mind
Forget about tomorrow
Forget about time
So good to be alive and touch
The spirit of freedom - in your soul
So good to breathe the air and
Feel that life is worth living
There's no time to waste in this life
There's no time at all
So good to see the truth and touch
The spirit of freedom
I never thought that
I could ever feel this way
To see the warmest sunlight
On a cold and rainy day
Dawn wakes the silence
And I know that I can't wait
To hear the words
I wanna say again and again
So good to be alive and touch
The spirit of freedom - in your soul
So good to breathe the air and
Feel that life is worth living
There's no time to waste in this life
There's no time at all
There's no time to waste in this life
There's no time at all
So good to be alive and touch
The spirit of freedom - in your soul
So good to breathe the air and
Feel that life is worth living
There's no time to waste in this life
There's no time at all
So good to be alive and touch
The spirit of freedom - in your soul

Top Uriah Heep, STAND BACK

I see him coming
He's out to get you
He'll get us fooling your door
You've got a letter
From the sisters of mercy
They can't have you no more
Temptation, such sweet song
That burns inside
One rhythm, one power
One drain of blood left you dry
I see you there
Before the dancin' visions
So many stars in your eyes
You've got it all
But you ain't seen nothing
How can you be so blind
Stand back
Make way for the zodiac boy
Stand back
I'm gonna take you
To the other side
Stand back
Make way for the zodiac boy
Stand back
You've gotta listen to
The power of the future
It's so easy, it's a chain reaction
Every step of the way
There are places
You've been dreaming of
But never knew the way
Temptation, such a good thing
That burns inside
One rhythm, one power

Top Uriah Heep, SPIDER WOMAN

I had a spider woman
And she was so good
She chained me
In her web so tight
I lost the freedom
Of release that night
So I stayed right by her
I dreamt I saw a blind man
Who was singing a song
About a guy who
Couldn't take no more
And the meaning of
The words he swore
Told me go find her
She was a spider woman
But she was good to me
Spider Woman
But she was good to me
I told her 'bout my vision
But she laughed in my face
So I told her go
And walk in the street
But by the time
She got past my feet
I lost control

Top Uriah Heep, SO TIRED

Well, I've been on the road for a year or more
And I done a lot of things I never did before
Now I want everyone to listen to my song
And you can tell me when you've heard it if you think I'm wrong
'Cause I'm so tired of everybody staring at me
Yes, I'm so tired, and I'm so uninspired
Please help me
Well, I seen 'em rise and I seen 'em fall
And I use to think that I was having a ball
But I was kidding myself for a long, long time
But now I got myself a spoon, I'm feeling fine
But I'm so tired, everybody's staring at me
Yes, I'm so tired, and I'm so uninspired
Won't you please help me?
Where can you go, where can you go?
When there is no one to show a guiding light
What did you say, what did you say?
Have you been thinking about me day and night?
'Cause I'm so tired of everybody staring at me
And I'm so, so tired and I'm so uninspired, yeah
Please help me
Won't you please help me? Yeah
Won't you please help me, me, me, me, me me?

Top Uriah Heep, SOMETHING OR NOTHING

There's never a day
When I've got nothing to do
Something to me
Might mean nothing to you
So don't don't don't don't
Look at me strangely now
We'll find the line
That's in the middle and run
Something, something or nothing
Something, something or nothing
You say you love to spend days
But I will save mine
Wait for the sun in your eyes
To turn the river to wine
But don't don't don't don't
Look at me strangely now
We're gonna find the line
That's in the middle and run
Something, something or nothing
Something, something or nothing
You say you love to spend days
But I will save mine
Wait for the sun in your eyes
To turn the river to wine
But don't don't don't don't
Look at me strangely now
We're gonna find the line
That's in the middle and run
Something, something or nothing
It's gonna be something, something or nothing
Something, something or nothing

Top Uriah Heep, SIMON THE BULLET FREAK

Greater than to face it, give me your money.
Make my life sunny for a day.
Road that leads to nowhere, please stop your crying.
I ain't fit for dying this way.
Go steal another with your eye.
Go try some other heartless lie.
Now I have hope of speaking, bring back the moon.
Don't play your silly games with me.
Oh what a waste of daydream. What is your need?
I'm gonna bleed until you pay.
You've lost all sign of your direction.
You're only looking for the next one.
The next one to kill.
Ashes of destruction spread out so far.
Blackened nurses crying over me.
See a one time city, now just a scar.
Tears of the flower man fill the sea.
Give me a chance to fly away.
There's nothing here for me today.
Today.
Simon and the bullet freak.

Top Uriah Heep, Wake Up Your Sights

Wake up, set your sights
For never shall we fail
Stand up for your rights
And justice will prevail
You're listening through endless nights
And decision is your goal
So wake up, set your sights
For the time is right for your own
Yeah for your own, yeah,yeah
Wake up, wake up, wake up, set your sights
Never ,never, never shall we fail
Stand up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Justice, justice, justice will prevail
There in the morning
Flying over the hills
While many are yawning
They're all crushed by our wheels
Never have I witnessed people in fear
Not like today, not in many a year
Go kill another, there are more close behind
No screams a another are you of your mind
The way all shatterd pages don't seem to yield
Bodies are scattered there all part of the field
Oh no, did I tell you what would happen if you tried
Oh God stop this killing said the young man
Before he died
Wake up, set your sights
For never shall we fail
Stand up for your rights
And justice will prevail

Top Uriah Heep, YOUR TURN TO REMEMBER

I was always the one
Who did the thinkin'
It was me, I'm sorry
I who made the plans
There was never a thought
We might do somethin' between us
It's so clear I think
I'm beginning to understand
I was the one who had to
Lay it out and pay it out
I would work all night
Even though I wanted to
Play out and stay out
Now it's your turn to remember
And it's your turn
To try to understand
But you never would, would you?
When the time came
For stayin' together
You refused to even
Talk about for ever
It was easy telling me
You love me
And I was a little late in
Finding out the truth
The rule of love was there
You had to bend it
Now the damage is done
It's impossible to mend it
I can't mend it
Now it's your turn to remember
It's your turn to feel a little pain
I feel a little better
Talkin' about her
Yet her memory's not good for me
The skies are not so grey now
I've found a new tune to play now
It's a better song
It'll be followin' on
And when the time came
For stayin' together
You refused to even
Talk about for ever
It was easy telling me
You love me
And I was a little late in
Finding out the truth
The rule of love was there
But you had to bend it
Now the damage is done
It's impossible to mend it
You know I can't mend it
Come on babe
It's your turn to remember
Your turn to feel a little pain

Top Uriah Heep, WORDS IN THE DISTANCE

(LOVE AWARENESS)
Dancing with danger and
Tears in my eyes
Love ain't no stranger
So many goodbyes
Words in the distance
Are calling me
Just when I thought
I could make a a new start
Here comes another fire
Burning in my heart
Words in the distance
Are calling me
And to get to heaven
You gotta go through hell
I cut my heart on the wishing well
You know that I'm crazy
I'm just a fool
To say I love I love I love you
You know that I'm crazy, just a fool
To say I love I love I love you
My senses burning from
The heat of your skin
Deeper than deep
I feel you movin' in, oh
Words in the distance
Are calling me
You know that I'm crazy
I'm just a fool
To say I love I love I love you, well
You know that I'm crazy, just a fool
To say I love I love I love you
I love you
I hold this moment of magic
I hold it in my hand
A single moment of heaven
Don't you know that I'm crazy
I'm just a fool
To say I love I love I love you, yeah
You know that I'm crazy, just a fool
To say I love I love I love you
Don't you know I love you baby
Can't you feel it in my heart, yeah
And I don't know what to say, no
Well I've got a fire in my soul
I don't know which way to go
Or I don't know what to do, no

Top Uriah Heep, WONDERWORLD

We freely speak of dreams
We marvel at what they conceal
But in my wonderworld
Each sleeping vision is so real
So I believe and hope that all the things I see
May one day bring
Such truth and peace
As we can feel
Free from this waking world
Deep in sleep's mystery
My will is free to wander
Free to wander carelessly
At times it's not so far
From what we call reality
And at times I know I wonder
If it all could come true
Oh, Mr. Wonderworld, don't be afraid
'Cause dreams were made
Were made to dim the light
The torment day can bring
And leave you free to laugh aloud
And hear your heart bells ring
Oh, oh, Mr. Wonderworld
Wonderworld
Oh, Mr. Wonderworld, don't be afraid
'Cause your dreams were made
They were made to dim the light
The torment day can bring
And leave you free to laugh aloud
And hear your heart bells ring
Oh, oh, Mr. Wonderworld
Mr. Wonderworld

Top Uriah Heep, WON'T HAVE TO WAIT TOO LONG

It's a quarter to seven
On a Saturday morning
I open my eyes
After the Friday night
I don't worry about
The rain upon my window
'Cause where I'm going
I know the sun will always shine
So now I'm heading away
Down to Rio de Janeiro
I'll be leaving all my
Lonely times behind
And if I'm looking for love in
Rio de Janeiro
There'll be someone there
I know who'll find the time
In this golden place
There's a smiling face
I've got to find
And I won't have to wait too long
Before she's mine
My friends are telling me
I'm chasing rainbows
Or searching for the
Gold beneath the sea
But rainbows only shine
When it's been raining
And gold will never
Keep you company
So now I'm wonderin'
What to say in conversation
To the lady of my dreams
That I should meet
If I speak to her
The language of all nations
Then I'm sure that she'd be
Knocked right off her feet
And I know she will
Then I'll love her
Till the end of time
And I won't have to wait too long
Before she's mine
Well I've been happy enough in
Rio de Janeiro
I've got a woman here
That I can call my own
It doesn't matter if
I'm living here or there-o
'Cause she used to live
Next door to me back home
So if you're thinking that
I've settled down forever
I'll be telling you
You've made a big mistake
'Cause I'll be heading away
Down to Denver, Colorado
There's a woman there
I've got to try and make
She can fill the hole
In my heart and soul
For a long, long time
And I won't have to wait

Top Uriah Heep, WOMAN OF ThE WORLD

Did you ever meet
The kind of a lady
She lives her whole life
Saying maybe
Running here and there
As she pleases
Not a thought
For the social diseases
Though she never
Thinks of settling down
She’ll spend time
Turning your head around
But don't let your heart start dancing
The lady don't
Waste no time romancing
Are you mine or are you
The woman of the world
Are you really so different
From all the other girls
Do you care that I care
About the things that you do
Does anything matter to you
Does anything matter to you
Once in a garden of glory
Someone sowed
The seeds of this story
And the whole thing began
With a woman and a man
Still it's something

Top Uriah Heep, ALL GOD'S CHILDREN

Crazy little whirlwind child
Pretty babies drive ya wild
Look like one, act like another
Every night a different lover
Get affection where you can
Try a boy then try a man
First time love is in the past
Make it young and make it fast
All God's children will have their say
All God's children
Must have their way
It's a game where you can cheat
Lovers falling at your feet
High on sensuality
A photograph for all to see
First time love is in the past
Make it young and make it fast
They can never get enough
Strong as death and sweet as love
They walk and talk like angels

Top Uriah Heep, ALL FOR ONE

You think I'm crazy for wanting you
But you just hide away
Behind your untold truths
And so I sit and
Listen to your lonely words
Another reason for you
To be yourself
I can't be wrong for believing in you
'Cause this ice is melting
And the waves are breaking through
I see a fire, it's burning
In your heart tonight
There's only one way
For me to forget
All for one, one for all
Strong in heart, body and soul
We were all for one, one for all
All for one, one for all
Nothing could stop us, we had it all
We were all for one, one for all
I always knew
You had dreams of your own
But I can't understand you
So many words, too much to say
And nothing to hold on to
And so another day must end
In this loneliness
Another season
Another time, I guess
All for one, we were all for one
All for one, strong in body and soul
All for one, and
Nothing's gonna stop us

Top Uriah Heep, AGAINST THE ODDS

(the way of life that must change)In the court of kings I look aroundMy blood runs cold, I close my eyesOut of my head a vision flowsI’ll make the rules I needFor my survival, for my survivalI pull the strings, you take the gloryI load the gun, you shoot me downI’m on the edge about to fallDestructive power will make youLose your mind, use your mindTrapped inside my nightmareYou are thereAs I turn I feel your evil stareWe give our life, invest in timeTo only fools who take controllI spend another cold day in hellAgainst the odds I fightFor my survival, for my survivalYour useless life gets crushedInto the groundThe time has comeTo turn it all around

Top Uriah Heep, ACROSS THE MILES

When I'm all alone on a distant path
And my ticket home has been torn in half
Oh, I can hear your voice girl
I can feel your touch, across the miles tonight
On the road again will it always be
That the dream has changed on its way to reality
Oh, but the thought of you
Strange how it pulls me through, across the miles tonight
And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes
And hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off through the midnight sky
As the miles go by cities come and go
When you close your eyes and listen to the radio
Girl can you hear my song?
The signal is clear and strong, across the miles tonight
And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
Just close your eyes
And hold on tight
And here I am concentrating girl
With all my might
Now the sound of your laughter
Trails off across the miles
And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
And I am sending you this message
Through the wires tonight
And I am sending you this message

Top Uriah Heep, A YEAR OR A DAY

Seen from the height
Of a thousand miles
The earth looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day
But we can't find the things we need
Young man said the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead
In a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test â€¦
The day of creation
Was our finest hour
It's something we ought to defend
But it's been so abused
Since the first day of light
That no glory can come in the end
Young man cried the old man
There is victory in staying alive
And if you care so little
For the world we're in
Why and what do you
Want to survive
Can't we try
To let the past go by
With it's lessons firmly
Settled in our minds
To our children one by one
And before the darkness comes
Let us leave a world full of light
Of a different kind
In truth they should meet
And with love
Their hearts should beat
And with patience
Solve the problems of our time
It wouldn't be so hard to do
It's only up to me and you
Let us not bequeath
A life that is a crime
Young man cried the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead
In a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test
Young man ...

Top Uriah Heep, A FAR BETTER WAY

Seeing you here
All of my fears seem to
Drift right away
Seeing you smile
Checking out your style
I begin to hope you'll stay
Stay awhile so we can play
Lost in a dream
That's becaming a nightmare
Day by day
Its my love and my life
And somewhere between them
There's a road
And it's a far, a far better way
Out of nowhere came this vision
Of you and me together
Looking for a better way
Then from nowhere
You came running
Look out, world
There's something coming
Ive suddenly found
A lot of things to say
Now well sing our tune together
This way it's a whole lot better
Were out to prove
There is a place for love
Then from somewhere
Well come running
Look out, world
There's something coming
I think weve found
A far better way
I think weve found

Top Uriah Heep, Money Talk

Dressed right to please the crowd
All eyes can see by the way you walk.
Watching you dance around
Heaven lies down see the money talk.
Kiss her in picture books
Watching her moves like a hungry hawk.
Streets full of dirty looks
Heaven lies down see the money talk.
Down for the money
Down, down for the money
Travel the dusty road
Trying your best not to fall apart.
Let go your heavy load
See every man's got a hungry heart.
Dressed right to please the crowd
All eyes can see by the way you walk.
Watching you dance around
Heaven lies down see the money talk.
Down for the money

Top Uriah Heep, Believe

With the light of the world upon us
There'll be nothing to come between us
Something up ahead worth fighting for
You're thinking that life is easy
There's no danger that you cannot see
Do you know who is coming through your door?
To be one and free that's all we need
Let the morning sunlight take away your fear
Better believe you'll come alive again
If you believe that all the world will change
For me and you
Better believe you'll come alive again
Â€?Cos when you believe it, then it will happen
You will find that there's so much giving
Look for help and see how we're living
It's all the things you've never done before
If you're one and free that's all we need
Let the morning sunlight take away your fear
Better believe you'll come alive again
If you believe that all the world will change
For me and you
Better believe you'll come alive again
Â€?Cos when you believe it, then it will happen
Now I have your concentration
Now I've got you imagination
In a word I could not ask for more
When you're dealing with your frustration
All you need is determination
There is so much life worth fighting for
Better believe you'll come alive again
If you believe that all the world will change
For me and you
Better believe you'll come alive again

Top Uriah Heep, Uriah Heep

My love lives at
The end of a rainbow
One day I'm gonna
Fly there on a firefly
High above white angry water
With a love song in my heart
Someday, somehow
I know I'm gonna get there
I've been patient for so long
All my daydreams
Seem so much nearer now
And I beg you hear my song
Firefly
On your glowing wings I'll ride
Till I sit beside
This dream of mine
Firefly, high on a risin' tide
Only wanna touch
The things I've seen
Steppin' lightly from star to star
Cross a wilderness of blue
Wonderin' how much
In love with me you are
'cause I'm so much in love with you
Firefly, can you take me
I ain't had no lovin' lately
Firefly bring me love
To my new horizon
The one that I've still
Got my eyes on, my my firefly
Firefly, firefly, firefly
In my dreams you come to me
The answer to my prayer
As I begin to feel
You warm my heart
I awake and you're not there
Now and then I see your eye
As the stars begin to shine
No rain to cool my passion
No! not now!

Top Uriah Heep, Think It Over

I've had all I can take
I've taken just too much
I've made a big mistake
That put me out of touch
I don't think I can face
Another single day
Without a call from you
To take this pain away
So many tears ago
You turned and walked away
It could've been the end
But I knew better
I had to tell myself
There'll be another day
She wants to call it quits
But don't you let her
Can't you see
There's a chance for you and me
Think it over
Don't believe
In the things that may not be
Think it over
Why don't you think it over
Forgetting you is out
I ain't givin' in
The fuss was down to you
But it's not over
You have to face the truth
I'm still in love with you
I have to make you see
That it's not over

Top Uriah Heep, TIN SOLDIER

I am the little tin soldier
That wants to jump into your fire
You, oh look in your eye
A dream passing by in the skies
I don't understand
All I need is to treat me like a man
I ain't no child, take me like I am
I've got some love that belongs to you
I'll do anything that you want me to
I'll sing any song that you want me to
Sing to you
All I need is your whispered hello
Smiles melting the snow, nothing heard
Your eyes, oh deeper than time
I see a love that won't rhyme without words
So now bless my way
I need help to show me things to say
Give me your love before mine breaks away
I've got some love that belongs to you
I'll do anything that you want me to
I'll sing any song that you want me to
Sing to you
I don't need no aggravation
I just got to make you
I just got to make you understand
I've got some love that belongs to you
I'll do anything that you want me to
I'll sing any song that you want me to
Sing to you
I am the little tin soldier
That wants to jump into your fire
You oh, look in your eye
A dream passing by in the skies
I don't understand
All I need is to treat me like a man
I ain't no child, take me like I am, take me
I've got some love that belongs to you
I'll do anything that you want me to
I'll sing any song that you want me to
Sing to you
Oh I'll sing it to you
I just want some reaction
Someone to give me satisfaction

Top Uriah Heep, SWEET LORRAINE

Wouldn't you like to take this magic potion with me?
On a trip to a cosmic playground far beyond?

It's in her hands to find the door.

Top Uriah Heep, SWEET FREEDOM

SWEET FREEDOM
As you look around you do you like what you see?
Though it sometimes makes you lonely, do you like being free?
And are you sure you'll be OK without my company?
I just want you to be happy even if it's not with me.
Sweet, sweet freedom, sweet, sweet, sweet.
Will the line between all this and my love ever meet?
Sweet, sweet freedom, sweet, sweet, sweet.
What I'm really trying to say is that I will be around
should you find that after all you can't get by with what you've found.
Oh, it wasn't just my heart you took and tossed into the sea,
though it's hard to find the words I need I guess it was me.
Sweet, sweet freedom, sweet, sweet, sweet.
Will the line between all this and my love ever meet?
Sweet, sweet freedom, sweet, sweet, sweet.
Will the line between all this and my love ever gonna meet?
Sweet, sweet freedom, sweet, sweet, sweet.

Top Uriah Heep, SWEET SUGAR

(over importance of money)
I've no time for boring things
There's no religion
That can make my heart sing, no
They call me up
Say: hey come on down
We've got credit salvation
All over town
And I can see it everywhere I go
I can hear it on my radio
They keep telling me it's alright
But there's one thing
I don't need tonight
Is their sweet sugar, poison wine
I don't need these things
To make me feel fine
Sweet sugar, poison wine
Just need your love girl, every time
We don't need these
Pointless things
We just need to mend
Our broken wings
Take a look, a look
What's going down
We've gotta stop
Before we hit the ground
Yeah, we can have it
Don't you know
Take part in their tv show
They'll keep telling us it's alright
But there's one thing
I don't need tonight
You can't fool me
It's a waste of time
You're selling tears
Down the credit card line, yeah
But giving up is not
Their frame of mind
They'll find a way
To break us in time
Yeah, I can meet you
Everywhere I go
And I can hear you on my radio
You keep telling me it's alright
But there's one thing
I don't need tonight
Is your sweet sugar, poison wine
I don't need these things
To make me feel fine
Sweet sugar, poison wine
I just need your love girl, every time
Sweet sugar, poison wine
I don't need these things
To make me feel fine
Sweet sugar, poison wine
Just gimme your love girl
Gimme your love, gimme your love
Sweet sugar, poison wine
I need your love girl
Yeah, all the time
Sweet sugar, poison wine

Top Uriah Heep, SWEET PRETENDER

I didn't see you standing there
You took me by surprise
In your long silk dress
And those deep brown eyes
I was captured by your smile
But when fate put out it's hand
You're walking to your love
How was I to resist
The passion and the kiss
We raised the future alone
She stole my body and soul
With a heart next to mine
I didn't wanna face the day
But I have no choice when we kiss
She said
Goodnight my sweet pretender
Tonight we live forever
One heart, one soul
On the edge of the world
Goodnight my sweet pretender
Feels like we died together
In each others arms
On the edge of the world
When she touched me so warm
And so was her body
A kiss she gave to me
The name she said to pain and pleasure
Time my soul rescue me
But I know I'd be here on my own
As soon as the sun would rise
I didn't wanna face the day
But I have no choice when we kiss
I've dreamed of a place I know
With the shadows of my past
Still remain
You're buried in the midst of time
For always you'll be the sun that shines
Shines on me
Goodnight, goodnight

Top Uriah Heep, SUNDOWN

I'll see you at sundown
You can't back out now
The news is all over town
I'll see you at sundown
And they can put one of us
In a hole in the ground
Now it's three in the afternoon
And I'm frightened to death
When you're in the saloon
I wonder if he feels the same
For whoever wins there's still
The cowboy to blame
Sundown, give me some strength
I know I can't go it alone
Sundown, give me your strength
Give me a chance to go home
To go home
Three in the afternoon
And I'm frightened to death
When you're in the saloon
I hear the reverend feels the sin
For whoever wins there's still

Top Uriah Heep, SUICIDAL MAN

Waiting by the window
Staring at my shadow
Not believing what I'd seen
Touching but not feeling
And wondering what I was dealing
And not knowing where I'd been
So I began walking
To myself I was talking
But didn't know which way to go
Then I found a direction
And now I needed some action
But I should have just said no
Should have said no
Why won't you help me
Or give me hand
'cause I'm close to becoming
A suicidal man
What I need is someone
With a definite plan
For I've waited for just about
As long as I can
Suicidal man, suicidal ...
So on my travels
Still with all my troubles
I found someone who cared
The answer was so easy
That all she did to please me
Was to say a problems smaller
When it's shared

Top Uriah Heep, Sunshine

For many years I felt like a man
Feeling his way through darkness
This priceless treasure
For which I've searched
Appeared to me nothing more
Than a mirage in the sea
But when the vision faded
From this struggle and dream
Suddenly my illusion is diarry
I've now discovered what's reality
Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine
I've found you
Even if you're only
Even if you're only
Even if you're only
Destined for a while
Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine
I've found you
Even if you're only
Destined for a while
I'll be both most impressions
And I arrive this with a smile
As the picture book shows Stanley
Standing at the source of the Nile

Top Uriah Heep, Sunrise

Sunrise, and the new day's breaking through.
The morning of another day without you.
And as the hours roll by
noone's there to see me cry
except the sunrise,
the sunrise and you.
Tired eyes drift across the shore.
Looking for love and nothing more.
But as the sea rolls by
noone's there to see me cry
except the sunrise,
the sunrise and you.
Sunrise, bless my eyes.
Catch my soul, make me whole again.
Sunrise, new day heed my song.
I'm tired of fighting and fooling around.
But from now until who knows when?
My sword will be my friend.
And I'll love you...love ya
for all of my time.
Sunrise, bless my eyes.
Catch my soul, make me whole again.
(Repeat)

Top Uriah Heep, STRAIGHT THROUGH THE HEART

You came on like an angel
I didn't see the evil in your eyes
I could see but I was blinded
Oh, believed your lies
You hit we with your promises
You shot me, I fell to the ground
Your promise of tomorrow
When I looked, you were
Nowhere to be found
You set me up right from the start
Stripped me of my dignity
You got me straight
Through the heart
I never did stand a chance
You got me straight
Through the heart
You cut me and left me for dead
You promised me a heaven
Turned out to be one hell all the time
The truth that you're pretending
Was just a chorus of lies
You set me up right from the start
Strip me of my dignity
And got me straight
Through the heart
I never did stand a chance
Got me straight through the heart
You cut me and left me for dead
You cut me and left me for dead
You came on like an angel
Just like an angel
You set me up
You got me straight
Through the heart
I never did stand a chance
Got me straight through the heart
You cut me, you left me
Straight through the heart
You never gave me a chance
Got me straight throught the heart
I'm bleeding, you're leaving
Got me straight through the heart

Top Uriah Heep, STEP BY STEP

It's alright, it's not wrong
To sometimes feel
You're just hanging on
On those days when
Your feelings are low
Don't hold back
Just let those feelings show
If you want my time and devotion
You've got to give me
Some of your emotion
It's not too much, too much to ask
If you want this love to last
Born with open eyes
But you're blinded by confusion
Born with strength
Let's do it step by step
Into tomorrow
We can make it if we try
Just talk to me, walk with me
There's no reason why
Let's do it step by step
Into tomorrow with our open eyes
So come on talk to me
Just walk with me
You can do it if you try
One step, one step at a time
One heart beatin' with mine
Nothing gained, nothing ventured
Nothing won, no risk, no loss
In this world of indecisions
There's a bridge we all must cross
Born with open eyes
But you're blinded by confusion
Born with strength

Top Uriah Heep, Proud Words

Stand up and fight
Or you’ll lose your right
Do you wanna stand in a line
Fightin’ hard to hold on to your mind
Seek and you’ll find
Proud words on a dusty shelf
Find and you’ll seek
Just keep on helpin’ yourself
When the wind of trouble comes
Put away your battledrums
And stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
Don’t stand in a line
Hold on to your mind
Seek and you’ll find
Proud words on a dusty shelf
Find and you’ll seek
Keep on keepin’ on helpin’ yourself
Stand up and fight ...

Top Uriah Heep, Shadows And The Wind

Oh, they're moving in again
Hidden by the shadows
And the wind
But we'll just wait awhile and then
We'll show 'em all that
This time we ain't giving in
Without a care they
Sweep aside our dreams
To try and make way for their own
No more should we surrender
To their schemes
It's time to stand and
Show 'em we are not alone
Time has changed us all
We have our minds
Life has taught us
We all have our love
And it's time to use it, use it
Nature gave us colour
Day and night
So if you really got a reason
Then you better be right
The seasons of the year
Still are spring and fall
But there's nothing in the world
That's says it's right to fight
Time has changed us all
We have our minds
Life has taught us
We all have our love
Why don't we use it
Come on and use it
Why don't we use it
Come on and use it
La la la la la ...

Top Uriah Heep, TIME OF REVELATION

(MOVING TO A FANTASY WORLD)
Won't you take
A chance my brother
Follow me to a time of revelation
Can't you see that
Destiny will take a turn
And show you
There's no need to fight
'Cause you know it's right
And I finally see where I'm going
I finally know what I'm knowing
Now our journey's only just begun
You won't need to ask forgiveness
What you find
Will be your inspiration
You don't have to pray for glory
All is equal, no more pain
You know it's true, it's up to you
'Cause I finally see where I'm going
I finally know what I'm knowing
Now our journey's only just begun
Over the bridge
Where you start to believe
Down at the edge of the rainbow
Dark is the night
But we've seen another time
Follow the light of the shadow
Right or wrong, there is no reason
There will be no hidden destination
With the strength that you discover
You can show the way
How it was meant to be
For all to see
'Cause I finally know
What I'm knowing
I finally see where I'm going
Now our journey's only just begun

Top Uriah Heep, THE RIVER

River, rising to hide
Across the midnight
Wanderin westward by daylight
Take us and lead us to tomorrow
As fast as you come and can flow
River, you're windin
An unending rhythm
The sooner keep
Movin to warn him
The spirit that keeps
Us from sinking
Guide us from going astray
Point us a way
To a shoreline ahead
Through the mist and the fog
Of this valley of death
Too many years we have
Walked in a sleep
Now were awaken and ready fo flee
River, we hitchhikers
Beggin for mercy
Survive us from yesterdays curses
Don't damn us
Before you receive us
Were needin your face

Top Uriah Heep, She Still Calls His Name

Summer moonlight shines
On a midnight train
Lost in emotion she cries
To the wind and the rain
In silence she feels the breeze
No mercy tonight
The passion and promise has made
Life broken inside
She stills calls his name
She can’t get home
She stills calls his name
Broken hearted
Another town rolls by
As a distant rose
And wonderin’ what she will find
When she gets home
You, there’s a part in flame
But a careless heart
Dreams are an open game
Will tear you apart
She stills calls his name
She’s out of control
She stills calls his name
Broken hearted
One love comes of the rest
A bed of roses was a bed of nails
Don’t take the blame forever
Just give it time

Top Uriah Heep, Stone's Throw

I was a stone’s throw
From happiness
Feeling love grow in your caress
It was like nothing
I had felt or seen
And I waited impatiently
Oh, stone’s throw
And I can’t stand to see you go
You hurt me bad, cut me down
But it just don’t work without you
Without you around
It was a short walk
Now it’s a lonely ride
It turned my day
Into a lifeless night
It was my belief and
Now it’s my regret
I’ve got a one way ticket
That I can’t accept
Oh, just a stone’s throw
And I can’t stand to see you go
You hurt me bad
You cut me down
But it just don’t work without you
Without, without, without
Without you around
Oh, stone’s throw
And I can’t stand to see you go
You hurt me bad, cut me down
But it just don’t work without you
Gotta have you around
Gotta have you around ...

Top Uriah Heep, THE TIME WILL COME

Riding on together
Forever till the end
Some people try to
Come between us
But we know they're
Not our friends
So come on join our party
Let the hours slip on by
No more cares or worries
No more asking yourself why
Can you hear us, can you hear us
We're never far away
Can you hear us, can you hear us
This is all we have to say
All our love is true
Even just for you
Don't push us away
Like we're of yesterday
We never ask for more
And we give in return
The time will come
When everyone will listen
The time will come
When everyone will care
Just look ahead
What we said will glitter
Like a jewel sailing softly
Through the air
With everything to live for
Sometimes you're
Seeing just ahead
Wear your vision and find
That you're together

Top Uriah Heep, THE OTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT

Late at night I'll be knocking
On your door
Late tonight I'll be calling
You can be sure
I'll be waiting
Standin' in the shadows once again
Sneakin', creepin'
Howling like a tom cat once again
Oh, there'll be nowhere
You can hide
When I take you
On the other side of midnight
You know I don't love you
But I love what you can do
Some more of that hot persuasion
This time it's (? ) just like you
Oh, there'll be nowhere
You can hide
When I take you
On the other side of midnight
I'll be knockin'
The other side of midnight

On your door
I said late tonight I'll be callin'
You can be sure
I'm gonna take you
Oh, it's gonna hurt so good
I'm gonna make you do
What a bad girl should
Oh, there'll be nowhere to hide
When I take you
On the other side of midnight
The other side of midnight
I'll be knockin'
The other side of midnight
I'll be callin'
The other side of midnight
On the other side
I'll be waitin', I'll be callin'
The other side of midnight
I'll be knock knock

Top Uriah Heep, THE PARK

Let me walk awhile alone among the sacred rocks and stones.
Let me look in vain belief upon the beauty of each leaf.
There is green in every blade. The treetops lean, providing shade.
They are spining happy sounds, all nature's strength around.
And there's a horse that feels no pain,
its iron strength to take the strain.
Children rocking to and fro
and gayly drink its color glow.
Above, the sky, devoid of stars
thinks not to cast the thunder shroud.
And from this place, so full of joy,
a thing of gold that lies in blood.
"So why my heavy heart?" you say,
when tears would stain a sight so gay.
My brother's dreams, once hinted song,

Top Uriah Heep, EVERYTHING IN LIFE

It doesn't matter what you say
The cards are in your favour
We don't need no magic ride
To take you far away
Just give it a silent thought
And you will find the power
'Cause everything in life
Will tell you something
Yeah everything in life can set you free
Can you remember a distant dream
That holds your real attention
You don't need a preacher's word
To know what's going on
The secret is all aboard
The wings of your perception
Stand up and fight your troubled mind
Wait no longer
See the power in your life
Disbelievers come on strong
Lost in self importance
They don't know an average man
Can see this mystery
Jump into the twilight world

Top Uriah Heep, Fallen Angel

Fallen angel ...
Everyone I see reminds me of you
I keep turnin' round
Expectin' you to be there
I keep seein' our past
Through my looking glass
But fallen angel
Where are you now
After all these years
I remember the tears
When we parted you said
Don't forget me
You were ridin' so high
Now they're passin' you by
Girl I've never forgot you
Please come and get me
Livin' without you is
Hard enough anyway
But knowin' you're hurtin'
Makes it so much worse every day
I just wanna love you
Any way that I can
And watching you cry wasn't
Part of my plan
Tell me how did it feel
In your promised land
That you chose as
Your pain and your pleasure
A temporary sanctuary
Oh fallen angel

Top Uriah Heep, FEELINGS (vocals John Sloman)

Feelings, empty feelings
Prayin', hopin', needin'
Just when I wanted to hold you
You're leavin', you're leavin'
Leavin', you're leavin'
I remember those magic nights
Those nights when it
All seemed right
But I knew that by mornin'
You'd be gone
And though you tell me
That it's not for long
It ain't easy here holdin' on
You gotta tell me where I stand
'Cause either you don't give a damn
Or you don't even care to pretend
Or you won't spare a thought
Though you know
It must come to an end
You'd better know that
I've made up my mind
I gotta high of a different kind
And it's gonna take me
Where I wanna be
Sure I'll miss ya but I gotta choose
You can't believe that
I came here to lose
And you ain't a winner
That's easy to see
So I'll see you around or I'll write
And I'll send you some love
'Cause where I wanna go
There ain't nothing to do but move

Top Uriah Heep, FEELS LIKE

I can feel your sadness
From what I said to you
I'm drinking my forgiveness
So restless and confused
I don't know what I see
But it looks a lot like love
Showing me something
Deeper then deep in my soul
And it makes me feel like
I'm at the point of no return - feels like
I'm at the point
It makes me feel like
I'm at the point of no return - feels like
I'm at the point
I was drifting through the days
With nowhere else to turn
I finally discovered
How much I have to learn
I shouldn't be afraid
For you to bring my love
Taking me somewhere
Deeper than deep in my soul
This time my heart will lead the way
To win the game you'got to play
You love me like a lover
I see it in your face
No need to think it over
No need to run the race
I don't know if you planned it
But you're driving me insane
Telling me something

Top Uriah Heep, FALLING IN LOVE

Falling keep on falling
Keep on falling love
Now I don't mind
All this running around
Seems Ive been doing it
Most of my life
My musics been kind
But some days I find
It brings me two kinds of trouble
And three kinds of strife
So don't try to compare it
Cause I just want to
Share it with some people
I like to call friends
There aint nothing bad and
No need to feel sad
And there's certainly no need
To make amends
It wont do you no harm and
There's no cause for alarm
I wont be praying for
Help from above
If the only thing
Wrong with rock and roll
Is that I keep on falling in love
If the only thing
Wrong with rock and roll
Is that I keep on falling

Top Uriah Heep, FIRST TOUCH

I dreamed of all
The wonders in the world
And lovers that I knew
I saw so many good things
At one time
Mountains of emotion
Coming right into view
When I arose from my bed
I got that warm glow
At the back of my head
First touch, feel the power
Hear the thunder over me
First touch, out of nowhere
See the future over me
Then I dreamed about
The tenderness we shared
And how it makes us feel
Like every first encounter
That we have
When I think I must be dreamin'
You tell me that it's real
And here you are in my bed
I get that warm glow

Top Uriah Heep, FLYIN' HIGH

Im flyin high
And I know the reason why
Cause the wind of change
Has blown my way
And you love me
As much today as I love you
Honey, as I love you
I used to think
That love was all so strange
There was something
That I used to ease the pain
Though at times
It seems it hurts to touch
Its never gonna hurt
As much as no love at all
Honey, as no love at all
Flyin high, it's a crazy feeling
Flyin high, cause
Ive learnt the meaning of love
Flyin high it's a crazy feeling
Flyin high cause I believe in love
Im flyin high
And I guess I know the reason why
Cause the wind of change
Has blown my way
And you love me
As much today as I love you
Honey, as I love you
Im flyin high
Im flyin, flyin, flyin
Im flyin high

Top Uriah Heep, FIREFLY

My love lives at
The end of a rainbow
One day I'm gonna
Fly there on a firefly
High above white angry water
With a love song in my heart
Someday, somehow
I know I'm gonna get there
I've been patient for so long
All my daydreams
Seem so much nearer now
And I beg you hear my song
Firefly
On your glowing wings I'll ride
Till I sit beside
This dream of mine
Firefly, high on a risin' tide
Only wanna touch
The things I've seen
Steppin' lightly from star to star
Cross a wilderness of blue
Wonderin' how much
In love with me you are
'Cause I'm so much in love with you
Firefly, can you take me
I ain't had no lovin' lately
Firefly bring me love
To my new horizon
The one that I've still
Got my eyes on, my my firefly
Firefly, firefly, firefly
In my dreams you come to me
The answer to my prayer
As I begin to feel
You warm my heart
I awake and you're not there
Now and then I see your eye
As the stars begin to shine
No rain to cool my passion
No! Not now!

Top Uriah Heep, FIRES OF HELL (Your Only Son)

(THE FUTILITY OF WAR)
Oh, I was born your only son
And I will think of you
Before this day is done
The fires of hell surround me now
So I must fight for freedom
Against their raging guns
In all my life I never said
How much I loved you
In all this time
I never really said I cared
This war is wrong and so
I write these words
Before I give my life to the Somme
In all my life I never said
How much I loved you
In all this time
I never really knew you
The fires of hell surround me, oh
The guns of hell will
Take my breath away
From my life this day
The fires of hell surround me, oh
The words I say
Must never disappear
Keep them locked inside your heart
I can hear the piper's song
And it will play for me
Before this day is done
So I will hold my head up high
If I must give my life
To stop their raging guns
Oh, I was born your only son
And I thank god for that and
That that will be done

Top Uriah Heep, RED LIGHTS

Red lights - on the highway
Headlights - blinding my eye
Red lights - keep me waiting
White lights - drive me insane
Red lights - in the city
Streetlights - high in the night
Searchlights - I’m looking for someone
Red lights - young blood’s alright
Try as I can but (?)
I can’t keep away
No no no no way
Red lights - she knows what I’m here for
Headlights - look me in the eye
Red lights - are you looking for danger
White lights - drives me insane
Try as I can but (?)
I can’t keep away
No no no, not for one day
Red lights - no questions
Streetlights – youth's desire(?)
Red lights - burning desire
White lights – put you to bed (?)
Red lights- in the city
Streetlights - shadow the night
Sunshine - if you need some one
Headlights - that young blood’s alright
Try as I can but (?)
I can’t keep away
Not today
She brings me to my knees
Try as I can but (?)
I can’t keep away
I want you babe(?)
Red lights - Oh, I want you
Red lights - I need it
Red lights - you get too heavy

Top Uriah Heep, RETURN TO FANTASY

Searching every day looking every way
Trying to make a connection to find a piece of the action
Like a hungry poet who doesn't know
He is close to perfection choice is the question
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if they cared to look then they would see
It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Can you understand that in every man
There's a need to unwind that's never been defined
Somewhere deep within there's another being
You are somehow abusing by the person you're using
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if they cared to look then they would see
It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Traveling faster than lightening closer than ever before
We can go on for you and take you nearer to the legend of mystery
From the beginning of time dreaming time dreaming
We can return to the land of the good and the kind
Time dreaming time dreaming
No we won't come to your party and open our minds
In another place there's a newer face
Like an unfinished painting your creator is waiting
The brush and pen describe, what it is inside
That will set your mind thinking while the others are sinking
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if they cared to look then they would see

Top Uriah Heep, RICH KID

She's a rich kid
She wears diamond rings
Knows how to walk
Knows everything
About love, she's not too sure
What she's looking for
Fresh from the woods
Out on the street
She's looking good
Looking so neat
She don't know if she should
'Cause she don't know
If she's bad or good
She don't care if it
Hurts her father
She don't care if it
Breaks her mother
She don't care anymore
She just wants what
She's never had before
All she wants is love, she's ready
She wants love
And she's gonna get it
All she needs is love
She's gotta have it, someone to love
All she wants is love, she's ready
Gotta have love, she'll get it
All she needs is love
She's never had it, someone to love
She was a school boy's dream
High school queen
She had it all when she was sixteen
Stayed away from boys
'Cause she thought she'd get hurt
Why did she listen to
Her mother's words
Couldn't go out
Had to stay home
And how she hated
Being on her own
She needs love like everybody else
Now she's gonna
Get some for herself
All she wants is love, she's ready
She wants love
And she's gonna get it
All she needs is love
She's gotta have it, she needs love
All she wants is love, she's ready
She wants love
And she's gonna get it
All she needs is love

Top Uriah Heep, ROCKARAMA

Wind it up, here comes the video
It's that song again
Turn it up, it's on the radio
Rockarama -- Charge me up, I got electric eyes, I won't fall own
Light me up, just like a Christmas tree, Or am I seeing things
Wind it up, turn it up, charge me up, never stop
Wind me up, plug me in, turn me on and give me rock and roll
Strap me in to the rocket ship I'm headin' for the sun
Tune me in to the mother ship I must be seeing things
CHORUS:
Rockarama it's on the video
Rockarama on my radio
Rockarama on the stereo
Give me rock and roll
Give me rock and roll
Give me rock and roll
Plug me in jack to jack
Pin me to the wall
Hey leave that on
I'm on M.T.V. Now I'm seeing things
Wind it up, here comes the video
It's that song again
Turn it up, it's on the radio

Top Uriah Heep, ROLLER

Oh where is she woman
She's only here for the sun
It's now you'll discover
She's only here for the fun
And who will move over
Sweet talker choosin' her side
And it's then, it's all over
She' just along for the ride
She' s a roller
She's just a roller
Bet she'll roll her life away
One town is just like another
One man will just never do
Don't turn around
When she calls out your name
She's gonna break you in two
But she's a roller
She's just a roller
Rolling time come today
One town is just like another
One man will just never, never do
Don't turn around
When she calls out your name

Top Uriah Heep, ROLLIN' ON

Feels so cold, so alone
An empty stage, no one home
I feel so strange, so scared
No point in screaming
I won't be heard
You're so cold, you're so cool
It's so dark in this tomb
Time has come so soon
And time takes no prisoners
Except in the womb
There's no way out, no escape
This silence is deafening
I have to cry out
You're so cold, you're so cool
It's so dark in this tomb
Roll away the rock
Roll the rock away
Set me free from this grave
Am I forgiven, can I be saved?
You've been so cold for so long
This silence is deafening
Was I so wrong?
You're so cold, you're so cool
It's so dark in this tomb
Roll away the rock
Take that rock and roll it
Roll away the rock
You gotta roll the rock away
This silence is deafening

Top Uriah Heep, ROLLIN' THE ROCK

Feels so cold, so alone
An empty stage, no one home
I feel so strange, so scared
No point in screaming
I wonâ‚¬â„¢t be heard
Youâ‚¬â„¢re so cold, youâ‚¬â„¢re so cool
Itâ‚¬â„¢s so dark in this tomb
Time has come so soon
And time takes no prisoners
Except in the womb
Thereâ‚¬â„¢s no way out, no escape
This silence is deafening
I have to cry out
Youâ‚¬â„¢re so cold, youâ‚¬â„¢re so cool
Itâ‚¬â„¢s so dark in this tomb
Roll away the rock
Roll the rock away
Set me free from this grave
Am I forgiven, can I be saved?
Youâ‚¬â„¢ve been so cold for so long
This silence is deafening
Was I so wrong?
Youâ‚¬â„¢re so cold, youâ‚¬â„¢re so cool
Itâ‚¬â„¢s so dark in this tomb
Roll away the rock
Take that rock and roll it
Roll away the rock
You gotta roll the rock away
This silence is deafening

Top Uriah Heep, RUNNING ALL NIGHT (With The Lion)

I've been waiting for my lady
One hour - she finally came
She came walking by my table
And I'm thinking
What's this fox's game
To be honest, I was ready
To play that white witch's game
And I knew that she was ready
To cut loose on the town and meet
Somebody new for a change
When you're running
All night with the lion
Running all night with the lion ...
I may not recall exactly
How I got her to sit down
She was sitting at my table
And I'm making out like a clown
Oh, she'll make me very happy
When she showed her fallen again
And I knew that she was ready
To cut loose on the town and meet
Somebody new for a change
Rock'n'rollin' ladies
Good life to the games you can't win
We'll drink right at my table
And we'll talk till it's time to go in
This could be something heavy
If only you'd show me a sign
And something says you're ready
To cut loose on the town and meet
Somebody new for a change

Top Uriah Heep, SALISBURY

Somewhere in your eye, that very special glow.
Something drawing me, to where, I do not know.
I never really thought that I would lose myself.
But now I'm going faster than anybody else.
You move without a sound, touch me with your hand
just like the rain that fondles every grain of sand.
This thing we're gonna do, it's just for you and me.
I'm gonna make it good, good as it can be.
Your kiss is sweeter now, your breath is getting warm.
We must take our time and last it through till dawn.
I wonder will it be? Oh, I expect it to.
There have been other girls, but no one else like you.
I feel a power here I've never felt before.
And I begin to see what drives us to want more.
Oh god of all my dreams, please tell me if I'm wrong.
Because I think you have been in love.
As time past, and all too fast, I just knew it couldn't last.
And I guess that the end was near at hand.
Oh we tried our love inside, it just crumbled up and died.
What went wrong I will never, never understand.
You tell me why.
Alone again - how could you leave me.
Alone again - I don't want to be.
Alone again - yeah!
There's a line, in a rhyme, I was going to send to you.
It says: All that is to be will surely be.
So, though you had to go 'cause you needed someone new,
is there still a chance that you'll come back to me?
I want you back you see.
Alone again - how could you leave me.
Alone again - I don't want to be.
Alone again - yeah!
Somewhere in your eye, that very special glow.
Something drawing me, to where, I do not know.
I never really thought that I would lose myself.
But now I'm going faster than anybody else.
You move without a sound and touch me with your hand
just like the rays that fondle every grain of sand.

Top Uriah Heep, One Day

One day ...
Didn't I tell ya
Everything was gonna be alright
I never doubted
It was just a matter of time
And though I've travelled
Across the desert of despair
I know I'll get there one day
How times have changed
I better re-arrange it everything
But it can't change the love I bring
When I get back home to you
I am the same
It's just a game that I chose to play
But remember I can lose
As fast as I won one day
I still remember the hole in the wall
Where we all sat though
You said we'd fall
The dusty yard and
The broken down barn
Where you and me
Used to share a yarn
But it's gone now
But didn't I tell ya
That everything was
Gonna be alright
I never doubted
It was just a matter of time
Though I've travelled
Across the desert of despair
I know I'll get there one day
One day ...
I'll get there one day

Top Uriah Heep, ONE MORE NIGHT (Last Farewell)

One more night ...
City lights are
Burning in the distance
Seems they're tellin' me
To hurry home
But I can't push these
Wheels of mine no harder
So hold on baby for
One more night alone
There's time for me to take just
One look over my shoulder
One last glance at
What's been going on
'Cause I'll be there at
First light in the morning
We'll pick up the pieces
And baby, then we'll be long gone
Pick up the pieces and run with me
As fast as you can
You know you always said
I was the man
Pick up the pieces, let's do it now
Let's say our last farewell
Tomorrow may be too late
As far as I can tell

Top Uriah Heep, ONLY THE YOUNG

I havent’ listened to a word you’ve said
I’ve been wandering inside my head
Don’t care what you think of me
You only see what you want to see
So here I am in my paradise
In my heaven everything is alright
Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young inside
Only the young - only the young
Only the young - only the young
I’ve been around for a long time
Losing my way but not my mind
So I drink and play you along
But who cares when the fire burns on
So I’m out here in my paradise
It’s my heaven and it feels so right
Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young inside
Only the young stay young I said
Speaks the kid inside my head
Only the young stay young at heart
Only the young - only the young
Only the young - only the young
Live your life - in this time
We’ve only today - drink life’s wine
Don’t be fooled
Don’t believe what they say
Don’t believe what they say
I havent’ listened to a word you’ve said
Say what you like
You’re not in my head
Time goes with each breath we take
It rules the world the day we awake
So here I sit here in my paradise

Top Uriah Heep, OUT ON THE STREET

Out on the street, dead on my feet
At the mercy of the stone-cold night
It's hard to compete
In a dead-end street
With frustration in your line of sight
Do you ever stop to think
Do you ever stop at all
Do you have the time to feel
And if you do
Do you know the feeling's real
Followed a sign that
Pointed the way
And I found myself
Right back at that start
I like to feel good
I've tried feeling sad
But I can't stand a broken heart
Don't wanna wait till my dyin' day
To realise
I guess I'm lucky in
A strange kinda way
'Cause it's clear before my eyes
A grey cloud they say
Hides a surprise
But it rained until I lost my belief
Just close your eyes
We'll show you the way
But I believe I've lost my faith
One man speaks and one man does
While another soul wields the sword
I hear you all, but I still can't see
Just who it is

Top Uriah Heep, ONE ON ONE

People say I run too fast
But they don't understand
I'm livin' out the best of times
The way I always planned
Oh, little girl you got a dirty smile
Come along, walk with me
Down the golden mile
On my tongue the taste of love
Never felt so good
Easy come, no more leaving
By the back door
One on one
I could live like this forever
One on one
Take me all the way to Heaven
One on one
Stone by stone, frame by frame
We got this love together
No more headache in my heart
No more under pressure
Baby with you I can do anything
Just a touch is not enough
With you it's everything
On my tongue the taste of love
Never felt so good
Easy come
No more waitin' at the back door
One on one
I could live like this forever
One on one
Take me all the way to Heaven
One on one
Love runs in so easily
One on one

Top Uriah Heep, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

There's been some
Changes in my time
But this one's playing
Games with my mind
Stopped in my tracks
No thought of looking back
The lady's got me tied up
But I've already made my mind up
One way or another
She'll be mine
It wasn’t anything I could define
None of those ringing bells
Giving me a sign
I just took a look
But I was on the hook
The lady's got me tied up
Don't know how it's gonna wind up
One way or another
Gonna be all right
I'm beginning to think
That a forever kind of love
Is the kind of love
I'll look for forever
But still I'll love and love again
One way or another
I will find my friend
I knew some day my heart
Would lead my head
Beyond the path
My chosen life had led
I'd been so sure
But where is the cure
The lady's got me real good
But you can't say
What I should do
One way or another
It's all over now

Top Uriah Heep, PERFECT LITTLE HEART

When I think about it
Does anybody win
Taking for yourself and giving nothing
Now that we're apart
I see it wasn't really love
I can ride down the road
And let my soul run free
You may think it over
But no matter what you say
You're talking to yourself
And getting nowhere
There ain't no second chances
No reason to pretend
I'm gonna ride down the road
And let my soul run free
Now that we've grown apart
It seems so very sad
Why did it turn so bad and I remember
You said that all good things
Must surely end
Never mind all the hearts
That lie broken
I know I'll never make
The same mistake again
I doesn' matter what you say
Now I think about it
We all need a little time
'Cause if we ain't got love
We ain't got nothing
The doors are opened wide
On my one and only life
Gonna ride down the road
And let my soul run free
I know I'll never make
The same mistake again
But I will always be your friend
Now that we've grown apart
It seems so very sad
Why did it turn so bad and I remember
And I remember
Let my soul run free
Let my soul run free

Top Uriah Heep, Conquest

I'm at the point of no return
I'm watching the candle burn
Both ends
There's a lesson we
Both can learn - this time
So if you wanna make my day
There's something
You've gotta say
Now please don't laugh
And turn away - this time
I don't wanna make a fuss
But this is the time for us
And I ain't gonna miss the buss
This time
No return
So there'll be no turning back
Once I know that
You'll be by my side
No return
Maybe you'll give me all the love
That you always felt
You had to hide
No return
I've come a thousand miles
Across the ocean
But that ain't half
As far as my emotion
Now I've reached
The point of no return
While on my way down the avenue
I had to stop for a drink or two
Or three
Now not that I was stalling you
For time
It's just I wanted to feel my best
And I almost passed the test
I need your lovin' to do the rest
This time
No return - so please don't ever do
What you've done
So many times before
No return
Because I've made up my mind
That this time I'll make it
Thru' your door
No return - I rode above the clouds
So far below me
But didn't get as high as
When you hold me
Now I've reached
The point of no return
I'm at the point of no return
I'm watching the candle burn
Both ends
There's a lesson we
Both can learn - this time
I don't wanna make a fuss
But this is the time for us
And I ain't gonna miss the buss
This time
No return
So there'll be no turning back
Once I know that
You'll be by my side
No return
Maybe you'll give me all the love
You always felt you had to hide
No return - I rode above the clouds
So far below me
But didn't get as high as
When you hold me
Now I've reached
The point of no return
No return - so please don't ever do
What you've done
So many times before
No return
Because I've made up my mind
That this time I'll make it
Thru' your door
No return
I've come a thousand miles
Across the ocean
But that ain't half
As far as my emotion
Now I've reached
The point of no return

Top Uriah Heep, Paradise

I feel you trying
Though in my heart
I know you're lying
And though your love
For me is dying
I see you crying
Its the pain of your secret heart
Bringing you to tears
Filling you with fears
For your mind and for your soul
I touch you softly now
Borne on by hope
Until the end somehow
I am a man and I must keep my vow
I must go on
But the wall of your secret heart
Keeps my distance clear
Helps my footsteps fall
Back in line inside my mind
What's the use you turned me loose
And left me here to cry
Wheres the love we talked about
Wheres my sunny sky
Secret hearts and sorry tales
Will never help love grow
Spread your wings my daunted soul
The time has come to go
I will not be hurried down
Or blackened by your lies
I must go and find my dream

Top Uriah Heep, What About The Music (Spice Song)

I don’t mind talking, girl
But there’s a time and place
Right now we’re alone, yeah
But it’s just gone to waste
Look up and see the moon
Slide down the clouds
The radio is playing softly now
So if you talk above a wisdom
It’s too loud
What about the music, babe
What about the moon
It’s a shame if we talk music
We’ll be leaving soon
You keep on talking, girl
We can talk on the phone
We should be kissing, babe
Now that we’re alone
Though when they’re singing
Love songs to the moon
You know it’s love
That makes the flowers bloom
But you keep saying things you
Could tell me in a crowded room
What about the music, yeah
What about the moon, babe
It’s a shame if we talk music
We’ll be leaving soon
What about the music
Sweet soul music
What about the moon
Hey, what about the moon, babe
We are loving and I can’t lose it
We’ll be leaving soon
What about the music, yeah
What about the moon
I said it’s a shame if we talk music
We’ll be leaving soon
What about the music, yeah
What about the moon
It’s a shame if we talk music
We’ll be leaving soon
What about the music, yeah
What about the moon
It’s a shame if we talk music
We’ll be leaving soon
What about the music
What about the moon
It’s a shame if we talk music
We’ll be leaving soon

Top Uriah Heep, Why

thought of no tomorrow
the pain tears of sorrow
and you never told me why
the way you cheated
and mistreated
i could never ask you why
but i'm gonna find out, i'm gonna find out
whats been messig up your mind, messing up your mind
well i've been through some changes now im leavin'
while my mind rearranges why i'm grievin'
i don't mean that you hurt me, or deceive me
for i know that your there and you need me
you sure do, but i know
you can't see how it is
i can't stay any longer i've got to go
is there any true reason?
or anything i can explain
can't we talk about it baby and be together again
you see i have the feelin' that this isn't the end
and i feel on you i depend, i depend on you
i'm gonna find out, i'm gonna find out,
whats been messing up your mind
when i said that i love you and i need you
that means i'm yours, yes i belong to you
,but i just cant be certain that you love me too
now i got to know if i can believe in you
please believe that my heart is yours
i can't stay any longer. i got to go
perhaps its best for us to stay together and try to live our life as one

Top Uriah Heep, SYMPATHY

Sympathy just doesn't mean
That much to me
Compassion's not
The fashion in my mind
And if you're looking for
A shoulder to cry on
Don't turn your head my way
'Cause I'd rather have
My music any day
You and I are
Masters of our destiny
We look for consolation all the time
Until we find out things are not
What they were meant to be, oh no
And if it doesn't suit our mood
We'll call it crime
Dedication's not an obligation
Or a figment of
Someone's imagination
It's the only way they say
To live from day to day
To make each passing way
A small sensation
Dreams are the possession of
The simple man
Reality the fantasy of youth
But living is a problem that
Is common to us all
With love the only

Top Uriah Heep, SWEET TALK

I see your face in
The magazine stand
I wanna hold you in the palm
Of my hand
I love everything about you
You're such a long way away
Your sweet talk
Ain't enough for me
I may be deaf, but you're
Too blind to see
You're gonna break my bones
With your feminine tones
But I don't wanna hear
Your sweet talk tonight
Not again tonight
When I call tonight
Don't wanna hear your
Sweet talk tonight
I hear your voice on the radio
It's gettin' so bad I don't know
Which way to go
Why don't you wake up girl
You're such a long way away
Your sweet talk ain't enough
You see
I need a woman
Who's a woman to me
You're gonna break my bones
With those feminine tones
But I don't wanna hear
Oh, I don't wanna hear it
Not tonight
You're gonna break my bones
With your feminine tones
But I don't wanna hear
None of that sweet talk tonight
Oh, not again tonight
When I call tonight
Sweet talk tonight
Not again tonight
When I call tonight
Don't wanna hear your sweet talk

Top Uriah Heep, THE DANCE

See the picture in the hall
Framed in magic on the wall
Ain't it funny how it glows
What's on the inside no one knows
What makes this picture so inviting
To those who stand outside it
Maybe it's the dancers
Or maybe it's the dance
the dancer dances
Thousands will fill the gallery
Pay their price to see a dream
They can make believe for free
Two hours' worth of fantasy
Maybe they pretend the picture's them
Or maybe they just love to sit and blend
Maybe it's the dancer
Or maybe it's the dance
the dancer dances
Tonight the picture has no frame
Colours unleash and float away
To each and every one of you
Tonight the spirit brings the news
You become a part of it all
Thousands turn to one in the hall
You become the dancer
And we become the dance

Top Uriah Heep, THAT'S THE WAY THAT IT IS

I've been thinking about
What you said last night
And for all your fine words
You still don't have it right
'Cause that's the way that it is
And you won't ever change
You can scream at me
But the powers that be
Won't ever hear your voice
'Cause they're lost
In their own importance
No, they'll never hear your voice
'Cause that's the way that it is
And you won't ever change it
I've heard all your stories
Of how the few can be strong
And how you'll fight to the end
Just to prove me wrong
'Cause that's the way that you are
And you won't ever change it
But don't come cryin' to me
If your fanciful schemes
Don't turn out like you planned
'Cause you're chasin'
After something
That keeps slippin'
Through your hand
That's the way that it is
And you won't change it

Top Uriah Heep, TEARS IN MY EYES

I thought noone could keep us from sharing the rest of our lives.
Like a fool I believed you were true and had no disguise.
There's a clear blue sky outside and the summer is fine,
but with tears in my eyes I'm no longer pretending you're mine.
It's the same ugly story of a woman abusing a man.
So I have to forget you though I'm not even sure if I can.
There's a clear blue sky outside and the summer is fine,
but with tears in my eyes I'm no longer pretending you're mine.
It's the same ugly story of a woman abusing a man.
So I have to forget you though I'm not even sure if I can.
There's a clear blue sky outside and the summer is fine,

Top Uriah Heep, TALES

We told our tales as we sat under
Morning's sleepy sky
With all the colours of
The sunrise shining in our eyes
One, then another
With a story of yesterday's life
Or of a lover who had
Gone in a moment of strife
No thought of sleep ever dwells
Upon the wise man's mind
Some task or audience
Stealing every moment of his time
Thus we have learned to live
While mortal men
Stand waiting to die
How can we do what must be done
In just one short life
And if you ask
Then you must know
If you still doubt
You should be told
It was not we
That made it so
It was by those
Who went before
And there you sit
Tomorrow's child
So full of love
So full of life
But you must rise
To meet the day
Lest you become another tale
Another tale ...

Top Uriah Heep, THE MAGICIAN'S BIRTHDAY

In the magic garden, some were singing, some were dancing,
while the midnight moon shone brightly overhead.
The stars so gayly glistened and the sphinx in silence listened
to the magician tell of lives that he has led.
Let the bells of freedom ring.
Songs of love to Friday's king.
Let's all go to the magician's birthday.
It's in the forest but not so far away.
Much to do and so much to say,
while we listen to the oaken orchestra play.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you.
(Happy birthday - you magician, happy birthday to you.)
(Repeat)
And at the dead of midnight, as we watched the dancing firelight,
the air grew cold and seemed to dour the flame.
The fire died, the music faded, filled with fear of death we waited,
for now we knew some evil was to blame.
I challenge you, I challenge you all
for all you own and all you know
and by all the powers of darkness
I will steal what is mine.
Surrender now or face my spite.
I catch you: It may be Friday night,
but did you know this day also number thirteen.
First I give you fire...
I turn your fire into a sleepy stream.
yes! Now I give you nightmares.
From your horror I'll create a dream.
You cannot fight me, for I have the sword of Hades.
But one thing you can't see,
my answer is simply
an impenatrable fortress of love.
The fear went as quickly as it came.
The air was clear, the fire burned again.
The flames leapt beyond the glade,
the swan sang to greet the day.
And then we knew that

Top Uriah Heep, THE HANGING TREE

Passing through the arms of satan
Reaching for the hands of god
Robbing every mind for wisdom
Running so he wont get caught
Hes outlawed by majority
Been branded all his life
Some say that he's a sinner man
As he rides from day to night
Hes a bad man, so they say
Living for his love and living free
Riding swift and secretly
So hell miss the hanging tree
Wounded spirit on the wind
Riding to his dream and destiny
Hes laughing at the wanted posters
Calling for his friends to see
Laughing aloud as he rides away
Kicking up the dust with speed
Time hands him down a pathway
And freedom is a horse he rides
Glory is a dream he's after
And fortune is his hearts delight
Riding swift and secretly
So hell miss the hanging tree
Wounded spirit on the wind

Top Uriah Heep, THE GOLDEN PALACE

Locked behind the door
Taken by force
But I'm not guilty of the crime
How can this be real
What is aganst the law
To say what's on your mind
Then I see your face
So warm as it comforts me
And tells me I am not alone
Pray for me tonight
Give me the strength of love
To help me cross the virgin snow
I will run till daybreak
My tears will fade away
They'll never take me again
No I'm never going back
'Cause when I get to the golden palace
Everything will surely be so clear
Can we give ourselves
Like a mother to her child
They took a part of me
Whenever I think of it
I shiver to the bone
The scar is on my heart
When will the crimes of
Inhumanity be known
I am only one voice
I will not fade away
So many are silent
But I will never look back
'Cause when I get to the golden palace
Everything will surely disappear
The snow has gone at last
I'm out of the shadows and into the sun
And then I see you smile
Angel of mercy
The fight has jus begun
I can hear them calling
Across the frozen land
The world will hear us
You know it's never too late
'Cause when we get
To the golden palace

Top Uriah Heep, THE EASY ROAD

If you're looking for a place
You can fly together
And you're really afraid of
What you're leaving behind
Take the easiest road
But take care my brother
For you'll never find peace
With a troubled mind
Far better to love each other
Than to worry so deeply
â‚¬ËœBout the place youâ‚¬â„¢re in
And far better to kiss her softly
Than lookin' back on a love
You'll never have again
Time's as fickle as
The sky in winter
And two hearts always
Were better than one
Love has the wings
Of a tireless angel
She'll stay beside you
Till the day is done
La la la la la ...
Youâ‚¬â„¢ll never have again
No no no, never again
Youâ‚¬â„¢ll never have again

Top Uriah Heep, Holding On

Lost, lost like a precious flame
The ashes burn on
The ghost of a love we had
Tries to hold on, tries to hold on
No communication
All systems are down
No new conversation
Never a sound, never a sound
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone, holdin' on
What's the point in holdin' on
When the spirit is gone
Cold, cold as the empty night
Deep in your eyes
I know there's no truth, no light
Only your lies, only your lies
The circle's broken
The damage is done
The crystal lies
Smashed on the floor
Your presence has left me now
Your spirit has gone
The ghost of a love we had
Tries to hold on, tries to hold on
The circle's broken
The damage is done

Top Uriah Heep, FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW

Just like footprints in the snow
Who knows where my heart will go?
Will it lead me to you
Or will I see another empty day? Yeah
Seasons come and quickly go
Kinda makes me wonder if they know
Why my heart keeps running near and far
If only they could tell me where you are, oh
If you've ever been in love
Then you'll know the rocky road
I've been speaking of
You'll remember
When the times were good
And the times you had to do without
Think carefully my friend
It may look like the start
But it could be the end
Well, I'm not trying to bring you down
I'm just so tired of hangin' around
I won't make the same mistake again
If you've ever been in love
Then you'll know the rocky road
I've been speaking of
You'll remember
When the times were good
And the times you had to do without
Think carefully my friend
It may look like the start
But it could be the end
Think carefully my friend
It may look like the start
But it could be the end

Top Uriah Heep, Fools

I know this feeling inside
Has just made up my mind
I'm gonna take this chance
And do what's in my heart
You always said that
You'd stand by me
And help me get along
So understand
I must do what's in my heart
I know this feeling inside
Has helped me to carry on
So as the days go by
And the nights that never end
You play the clubs
And you play the game
The next day you will find
You'll have to try and
Please that fool again
Don't you know that
Fools play at games
Don't you know that
Fools play at games
And I know that
I'm not afraid of you
Day after day I feel this way
That I need to be moving on
You know I depend on you
Don't get me wrong
I'll throw the dice and
I play the game
And hope we get along
Even then I won't be fooled again
So I've read your words and
I've signed my name
But I can't make up my mind
If you really care or you're

Top Uriah Heep, Free Me

Free me
Free me
Why don't you free me
Free me from your spell
Come on and free me
Why don't you free me
Come on and free me
Free me from your spell.
Why should I worry that you might not love
you're not
The only love that I've ever had.
Your sweet memory will always comfort me
So why should I be feeling sad
As far as I can tell
You knew so well
I was always at the end of the line
I've loved you as much
As any man can
But not enough to make you mine
So long easy rider
I know I'll miss you for a while
But sooner or later
I know that I'll forget you
And I tell your baby
Free me
Come on and free me
. . .
We let a good love die.
We let it pass us by
Through you tried to keep me hanging on
But with all this doubt
It'll never work out
So tomorrow I'll be travelling on
And saying so long easy rider
I know I'll miss you for a while
But sooner or later
I know that I'll forget you
Free me
oh yeah
Come on and free me
Why don't you free me
Free me from your spell
Oh yeah
Come on and free me
Why don't you free me
Free me from your spell
Free me
Oh bab' come on and free me

Top Uriah Heep, FREE 'N' EASY

Ain't it strange
That when you're onely
And your friends they're not around
So you make your big decision
Get your feet back on the ground
When you're down
And no one wants you
And you wonder who you are
When your friends
They don't desert you
When you make it you're a star
But I'm gonna stay
Free and easy
I know just what I am
I'm gonna be free and easy
Well, I've been through
All the heartaches
And I've been through all the pain
But when you're up and riding high
Everybody stakes their claim
I'm gonna be free and easy
I know just what I am
I'm gonna be free and easy
I'm gonna be free and easy
I know just who I am

Top Uriah Heep, GYPSY

I was only seventeen,
I fell in love with a gypsy queen.
She told me - hold on!
Her father was the leading man,
said "You're not welcome on our land."
and then as a foe, he told me to go.
He took me to a little shack
and put a whip across my back
then told her - leave me.
I was out for quite a time,
came back with her on my mind.
Sweet little girl - she means all the world.
Though I want my gypsy queen,
will she still be torn between
her father and mother?
One day I will go to him
strong enough to fight and win.

Top Uriah Heep, HEARTLESS LAND

I know the world is full of light
So why can’t things just work out right
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land
It used to be so full of love
But now it’s only push and shove
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land
Just a breath of new life
Into an empty sky
From deep inside, where love must lie
No need to play the perfect fool
Stand up for love, break the rule
Oh come with me
You know that you can
I see the sky, I see the ground
What’s in between must now be found
There is no life
Inside this heartless land
Just a breath of new life
Into an empty sky
Somewhere in your soul
Where love must lie
And I say ... come to the light
Everyday is getting closer
To your sweet surrender
Out of the cold
‘Cause I found a way
That we can fly forever
With direction and peace of mind
The river will flow
Come to the light, my love
‘Cause I need you here
I need you here tonight
The chains of love they run so deep
But the hand that writes the law is weak
Oh take me, take me
From this heartless land
‘Cause it’s the place the broken go
The place that we don’t want to know
There is no love

Top Uriah Heep, HEARTACHE CITY

Hit the city, hit the night
Hit the club, sip the wine

You're steppin' into another world
See the man, he'll spin you alive
But just remember to leave on time
Heartache, city of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity
Heartache city
Crazy people in heartache city
City of heartache city
City of heartbreak pity

And if it's bad
Don't let it get you down
You can take it
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry
You can make it
Just hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head high
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head high
And if they stare, just let them
Burn their eyes on you moving
And if they shout, don't let it change
A thing that you're doing
Hold your head up ...

Top Uriah Heep, HIGH PRIESTESS

You - you brought the sunshine to my eyes.
You - the one that threw my sad disguise.
And I have a love that cannot die - for you.
High priestess of my heart.
Tell me that we won't fall.
Then I stood together in the sky.
Leave your lonely walks and wonder why.
For we have a love they can't deny - so true.
High priestess of my heart.

Top Uriah Heep, Shout It Out

She took me for a ride in her car
From the moment it started I knew
We wouldn't get far
That didn't matter it seemed
Though I knew it went schemed
And it was just like a dream
Oh, the joy of love was brand
That's when I heard
The little birds sing
The day I first met my love
Oh, the day I first met my love
Then we went walking in the park
Away with the day
Till the day became dawn
Man hand in hand with the son
Laughed at the rain
When it came along
Oh, the joy of love was brand
As well the birds
As well the stars would sing
The day I first met my love
Oh, the day I first met my love
Am I really standing here with you
Are you telling me you love me too
Will it grow
Can we let the world know
Put it about, shout it out

Top Uriah Heep, SHELTER FROM THE RAIN

When our hearts were young
We put our hands into the flames
Felt the heat from our emotions
We had fire in our veins
All those night we'd spend
Alone in your room
Though my silent thoughts
I still remember
We would use the power of love
Free our souls in endless love
We would sacrifice
Our hopes and dreams
Because without love
Our world would surely die
When our hearts were young
We never thought that
Life would change
Now the seasons go on
Oh why do we shelter from the rain
And all those nights we'd spend
Alone in your room
Through my silent thoughts
I still remember
When our hearts were young
We had fire in our veins
And each time we touched
We'd melt in the flames
When our hearts were young
We knew pleasure, we knew plain
But each time we kissed
We'd burn in the flames
Feel the fire in our veins

Top Uriah Heep, SHADY LADY

Out from St. Louis
I wasn't choosy
I just wanted to get
Back on the road
I hitched in cars
And worked in bars
Lookin' for a place
To lay down my load
I met a lady, a shady lady
And someone told her
I was all on my own
She poured a beer
And said when I'm finished here
Hang around â€˜cause
I'm taking you home
Don't worry
I'll treat you all right
Don't worry
You can stay all night
I thought it was any easy ride
But I didn't know where
I was until I got inside
She said, ok sonny
Give me your money
And don't start any foolin' around
I said what, I said what
Don't you think you're
Turning me upside down
She said, I don't care
I've been everywhere
And I've not been looking for you
But I'll take you in
And give you a spin
You'll know some tricks
By the time we get through
Shady lady
You want it all your own way
Shady lady
You won't let go of your prey
Shady lady
Eat me up and spit me out
But let's get started now
I know what you're talking about
Now in the morning
As the day was dawning
Shady asked me if
I'd stay there awhile
I said stay, baby no way
But I couldn't keep myself
From a smile
I said now no bye-bye's
Go in and dry your eyes
That ain't fittin'
For a lady like you
Why not be smart
And give your life another start
But take care now
Whatever you do
Shady lady
I'm on my way
Shady lady
We'll meet again one day
And don't worry 'cause when we do
I'm gonna make sure
That there ain't
Very much left of you

Top Uriah Heep, SHADOWS OF GRIEF

You're looking at me like I must be mad
But I've been through all this before
You'll kick and kick until I'm down
So don't think I'm comin' past my door, oh no
You think that love is such a pain
So the more it hurts the more you laugh
Just take it and shake it up and down
Till you think you've had enough but you won't get enough of my love
If you want to carry on in the same old way
Treating everyone like a piece of dirt
Just take it and break it and throw it away
There won't be anyone left to hurt
North, south, east and west
Wherever you go you'll find the same
And the only way you'll ever learn

Top Uriah Heep, SEVEN STARS

I don't care if the rain don't shine
Oh, I don't care if the sun don't fall
You are the one in a million, child
And you knew that I would call
Thoughts of you alone with me
I can't slow them down
But I can't sleep at night
Because you're not around
I can't wait
Seven days is a long time
To be waiting for you girl
I can't wait
Seven days is just too long
To be without you girl
I've tried every kind of distraction
But nothing will ease this pain
There is only one solution, girl
So why do you make me wait
Got to say I didn't think
That I could read your mind
But I can't sleep at night
'Cause baby you're on mine
I can't wait
Seven days is a long time
Oh, I miss you girl
I can't wait
Seven days is just too long
I can't wait
Seven days is a long time
To be without you
I can't wait
Seven days is just too long
Just too long

Top Uriah Heep, SEVEN DAYS

Top Uriah Heep, PILGRIM

A pilgrim at the gray of dawn
Leaving in the mist of morning
On his journey of goodness
Heaven sent, God blessed
Pilgrim laughing at the world
Spreading joy at the touch of his hand
Wiping out all the misery
Making love and history
Those of us who don't know war
We shouldn't try to make it
'Cause so many did and even more died
Do you think you could take it?
'Cause love lies waiting at our back door
Such a beautiful matter of fact
Life's like an apple with love as the core
And I'll tell you 'bout that
Just a man in my prime
Love was there but I had no time
I was cheered and adored
And I thought fame was all the world
Battles won and victory cheers
Were the sounds I'd heard for years
But the woman I really loved
Was losing me to all this blood
I only knew I had to win
And build a world where I was king
But leaders come and leaders go
And that's the truth I came to know
Love or war I could not choose

Top Uriah Heep, Innocent Victim

Well, it seems to me that I've been cheated
And it would appear that I've been lied to
All the promises that you repeated
Were never destined to come true
When I stop to think how I once trusted you
It's harder still to bear this doubt
I'm an innocent victim of heartbreaking circumstance
And I still can't get it figured out
'Cause all you did was cheat and lie
Now you're gone, made me cry
When my heart is heavy
And I just can't get it straight
Just the way you made me feel
A wound that only time can heal
Won't you take a little time
And show me my mistake
Well, listen
Well, it seems to me that I've been cheated
And it would appear that I've been lied to
All the promises that you repeated
Were never destined to come true
'Cause all you did was cheat and lie
Now you're gone, made me cry
When my heart is heavy
And I just can't get it straight
Just the way you made me feel
A wound that only time can heal
Won't you take a little time
You know you gotta show me my mistake, baby
'Cause all you did was cheat and lie
Now you're gone, made me cry
When my heart is heavy
And I just can't get it straight, yeah
Just the way you made me feel
A wound that only time can heal
Won't you take a little time
You know you gotta show me my mistake, oh

Top Uriah Heep, POET'S JUSTICE

Cold winds and cloudy skies
turn to sweetness in her eyes.
Fantasies I realized
came to life to my surprise.
Rain came and took her away
just when I thought she was here to stay.
Sun gone, I was left high and dry
when love came by and touched me and kissed me so long.
Shine hard October moon.
He will take me to her soon.
Run swiftly silver stream.
Find my love or let me dream.
Now half of me is all of her,
I'd be much happier if I were whole.
All my words and wisdom fail.
The poet's justice leads me to my goal - leads me to my goal.
Cold winds and cloudy skies
turn to sweetness in her eyes.
Fantasies I realized

Top Uriah Heep, POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL

You say you're gonna testify
Lie away, lie away
So you're gonna gun me down
Go ahead, fire away
You say you'll bring the curtain down
Turn around, walk away
You're gonna close this theatre down
Go ahead, stop the play
Your money talks, you pull the strings
Someone waits, in the wings
You flick the switch, the dancer falls
You deal the cards, the dealer calls in your game
CHORUS:
Poor little rich girl
Your money talks, you pull the strings
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
Your money burns, we all have wings
You say you're gonna leave this town
Fly away, fly away
So you gonna shoot me down
Go ahead
Your money burns
Your money stings
Another script, left on the floor
Another face is shown the door in your game
CHORUS:
Poor little rich girl
Your money talks, you pull the strings
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
Your money burns, we all have wings
In the game, poor little rich girl
It's easy come, it's easy go
It's a shame, poor little rich girl

Top Uriah Heep, PUT YOUR LOVIN' ON ME

Lady oh lady you're
Driving me crazy
You brought out the devil in me
You turned on my fire
With words of desire
You sure put the lovin'
Sure put the lovin' on me
You're sending me reeling
With love that you're giving
Spinning my poor heart around
The feelings that should be
Have finally saved me
You sure put the lovin'
Sure put the lovin' on me
Ain't no use in trying
I never would deny that
I love you love you
Ain't no doubt about it
I just can't live without it
I love you love you
Yes I love you, I really love you
Don't know what it is
That you're putting down
I only know it ain't no game
I only know what you're doing to me
And baby you're the one to blame
Lady oh lady you're
Driving me crazy
You're flying me high
With your eyes
There's no use in trying
Ain't no use denying
You sure put the lovin'
Sure put the lovin' on me
Yes, you did
Sure put your lovin'
Sure put your lovin' on me
Put your lovin', put your lovin' on me

Top Uriah Heep, Prisoner

Time has come to say goodbye
To the broken memories
They're locked inside like prisoners
In a place that no-one sees
Stayed up late with a friend of mine
Southern Comfort till dawn
We talked about the pains of love
Should've known from
The start you were wrong
I'm just a prisoner
Don't wanna lock myself away
Prisoner - I get so lonely, lonely
I'm a prisoner
Just when do you think love will stay
It walks right out on you - out on you
Tired blood runs through my veins
But I can't get no sleep
You lock my heart
In these prison walls
This place I've got to leave
I'm a prisoner
Don't wanna lock myself away
Prisoner - I get so lonely, lonely
I'm a prisoner
Just when do you think love will stay
It walks right out on you - out on you
The sky is grey, it's raining
Like the storm in my heart
There ain't no use explaining
'Cause I'm leaving, leaving
Won't somebody set me free
Take me away from this misery
I get so lonely
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely
Won't somebody set me free
Please, please, set me free

Top Uriah Heep, Rain

It's raining outside but that's not unusual
But the way that I'm feeling is becoming usual
I guess you could say
The clouds are moving away
Away from your days
And into mine
Now it's raining inside and that's kind of a shame
And it's getting to me, a happy man
And why should you want to
Waste all my time
The world is yours
But I am mine
Rain, rain, rain, in my tears
Measuring carefully my years
Shame, shame, shame, in my mind
See what you've done to my life
Rain, rain, rain, in my tears
Measuring carefully my years
Shame, shame, shame, in my mind
See what you've done to my life

Top Uriah Heep, QUESTION

There’s a lie that runs
Across the human race
There’s a truth that draws
A tear upon your face
A child is crying and it echoes
All over the world
If we try to find some
Deep communication
Bring an end to war
And start a new creation
From the truth inside
It’s waiting, it’s waiting
Suddenly then
The clearest voice will call
Feeling the air
You have no choice at all
Can I ask the question to you
Do you know who you are
Do you know what we’re doing here
Try to see the way from within
‘Cause it isn’t outside
Let your honesty see it clear
Why does anger fit our hearts
With missconception
Turn us inside out in every direction
From the truth inside
That’s waiting, it’s waiting
Follow the voice
That lives inside your heart
Never the choice
That tears your world apart
Take a walk and be
A wave upon the oceanTouch the sky and
Feel our spirit in motion
This is the love inside that’s waiting
Just waiting
Suddenly everything is there to see
You can be everything you want to be
Are you ready to go my love
Are you ready to be my love

Top Uriah Heep, REAL TURNED ON

Girl before you go now, there's one thing I wanted to do.
______________________, cause I want to make love to you.
You got me real turned on - yes you have.
But there's something in your eyes telling me you have to go.
Something in your eyes, but you're trying not to let it show.
You got me real turned on.
Next time you come over, I'll buy you a bottle of wine.
Just take a little drink and everything will turn out fine - yes it will.
Whoa baby, do you know what I have in mind?
Can you guess what it is or do you want it underlined?
You got me real turned
got me real turned
got me real turned

Top Uriah Heep, RAINBOW DEMON

There rides the rainbow demon
on his horse of crimson fire.
Black shadows are following closely
on the heels of his desire.
Riding on in the mist of morning
noone dared to stand in his way.
Posessed by some distant calling.
Riding on through night and day.
Rainbow demon - Pick up your heart and run.
Rainbow demon - Looks for his sword and is gone.
Riding on in the mist of morning
noone dared to stand in his way.
Posessed by some distant calling.
Riding on through night and day.
Rainbow demon - Pick up your heart and run.
Rainbow demon - Looks for his soul and is gone.

Top Uriah Heep, Hanging Tree

Passing through the arms of Satan
Reaching for the hands of God
Robbing every mind for wisdom
Running so he won't get caught
He's outlawed by majority
Been branded all his life
Some say that he's a sinner man
As he rides from day to night
He's a bad man, so they say
Living for his love and living free
Riding swift and secretly
So he'll miss the hanging tree
Wounded spirit on the wind
Riding to his dream and destiny
He's laughing at the wanted posters
Calling for his friends to see
Laughing aloud as he rides away
Kicking up the dust with speed
Time hands him down a pathway
And freedom is a horse he rides
Glory is a dream he's after
And fortune is his heart's delight
Riding swift and secretly
So he'll miss the hanging tree
Wounded spirit on the wind
Riding to his dream and destiny

Top Uriah Heep, Easy Road

If you're looking for a place
You can fly together
And you're really afraid of
What you're leaving behind
Take the easiest road
But take care my brother
For you'll never find peace
With a troubled mind
Far better to love each other
Than to worry so deeply
â€˜Bout the place you're in
And far better to kiss her softly
Than lookin' back on a love
You'll never have again
Time's as fickle as
The sky in winter
And two hearts always
Were better than one
Love has the wings
Of a tireless angel
She'll stay beside you
Till the day is done
La la la la la ...
You'll never have again
No no no, never again
You'll never have again

Celebrate, celebrate
Dance to the music ...
Slippin’ away, sittin’ on a pillow
Waitin’ for night to fall
Girl in a dream, sittin’ on a pillow
This is the night
We’re going to the celebrity ball
Satin and lace, isn’t it a pity
Didn’t find time to call
Ready or not
Gonna make it to the city
This is the night
We’re going to the celebrity ball
Dress up tonight, why be lonely
You’ll stay at home
And you’ll be alone
So why be lonely
Celebrate, celebrate
Dance to the music ...
Sittin’ alone, sittin’ on a pillow
Waitin’ to climb the wall
Maybe tonight
Wherever your dream goes
Woman alive
We’re going to the celebrity ball
Dress up tonight, why be lonely
You’ll stay at home
And you’ll be alone
So why be lonely
Celebrate, celebrate
Dance to the music ...

Top Uriah Heep, Born In A Trunk (Spice Song)

You were born in a trunk
Everyone talkin' about you
You were born in a trunk
Where would they be without you
You better move off the rails
People begin to look subways
You better move off the rails
You won't even listen to my way
I'm livin' in shame
People say I don't matter
I'm livin' in shame

Top Uriah Heep, ILLUSION

In a forest known as heartbreak
In a clearing in the wood
'Cross a pathway called confusion
Toward the garden of delight
You'll reach the river of desire
And meekly try and cross it
While the valley of love
Keeps avoiding you
Because it's only an illusion
Only an illusion
Upon the hill of high ideals
You begin to wonder if it's real
You are reaching sleep's oasis
You begin to wonder how you feel
But it happens so quickly
It doesn't fit into your scenes
Tossin' and turnin'
The star of so many scenes
It's only an illusion

Top Uriah Heep, BLIND EYE

Stranger than the sunrise
Darker than the night
Fiercer than a rainstorm
This is man's delight
This is man's delight
Weaker than a moment
And hot as any fire
Blinder than the blind eye
This is man's desire
This is man's desire
I ran to a place in the open sea
Where I pledged
My life to the sun
It was good for a while
I could laugh, I could smile
But when I woke up one day
The sun had gone
So what of my meaning
What am I trying to say
What of my caution
I'm a man anyway
I'm a man anyway

Top Uriah Heep, Magic Lantern

When you look inside
My magic lantern
All the world is yet unseen
Try to gaze into
The yellow glowing
To get a reflection of me
In a land of make believe and magic
You can be just anything you feel
You think that what you're in is a dream
But know that the lantern is viewing
View the magic lantern
Take a trip around the world
View the magic lantern
There's a thousand
Mysteries unfurled
And i know one of them
I remember your face
Can't remember the place
Here on our own
Living alone
You can dream that
You're a man of power
Ready to be happy with your gold
Without love your mind is going sour
Money's no good when you're old
View the magic lantern
You can have the sky above
Yeah, the magic lantern
You'll buy everything but love

Top Uriah Heep, WOMAN OF THE NIGHT

Ride along lady woman of the night
Looking for a place to go
Dancing on storm clouds
Hiding from the light
Looking for an easy Joe
You just wanna play around
Searching for a higher ground
Walking every side street
Kicking up the leaves
Running from the pouring rain
Standing on the corners
Shaking from the cold
Only got yourself to blame
You just wanna play around
Searching for a higher ground
Someone who could
Make you happy
Someone who would care
You've broken your life
Beyond repair
You're reaching for every rainbow
You're wondering why
Don't reach out for love
'Cause it's a lie
You've got your number on the wall
Of some deserted station hall
Is this your only claim to fame
Will you just play your waiting game
But you won't stop the things you do

Top Uriah Heep, CHEATER

Cheater, I know where youve been
Cheater, your lies
Cant hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I know
Cheater, I guess it's time for you to go
Im tired of chasing shadows
So lllusive in the night
And your empty words
That leave me high and dry
Now the curtains finally fallen
On this fantasy affair
Youve had me for the last time
With your lies
Cheater, you're a cheater
I know where youve been
Cheater, your lies
Cant hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I know
Cheater, I guess it's time for you to go
The voices in the wind I heard
Kept telling me to run
Whispering a warning to my heart
And the voices deep as thunder
Tried to speak of things to come
I was blinded then
But now I see the light
Cheater, you're a cheater
And I know where youve been
Cheater, mean mistreater
Your lies can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I know
Cheater, I guess it's time

Top Uriah Heep, CHOICES

I was walkin' all alone through a sideshow
With passion and pain on each side
Somethin' inside me was callin'
For a chance to stay alive
At the time I didn't know what was callin'
As my head was buried in grief
Today I heard what was cryin'
My freedom callin' me
And we all make our choices
Like a blind man feels his way
And the choice I've made is simple
Passion over pain
When I got to the end of the sideshow
And looked back to where I had been
My eyes filled with teardrops of loneliness
For the ones who will never be free
And we all make our choices
Like a blind man feels his way
And the choice I've made is simple
Passion over pain
I thought of the children in the sideshow
As they wandered around so confused
Someday they'll make their decision
But which one will they choose?
And we'll all make our choices
Like a blind man feels his way
And the choice I've made is simple
Passion over pain
And we'll all make our choices
Like a blind man feels his way
And the choice I've made is simple
Passion, passion over pain
And we'll all make our choices
Like a blind man feels his way
And the choice I've made is a simple one
Passion over pain
And we'll all make our choices
Like a blind man feels his way
And the choice I've made is simple

Nobody knows by the look of

Who would’ve guessed
By the way that you’re dressed
You’re a schoolgirl

What I wanna know is that
Who in the show I am worse than
Who would’ve guessed
By the way that you’re dressed
You’re a schoolgirl
Nobody knows by the look of

Oh, schoolgirl
Looking for something

You said on my lap that

Oh, schoolgirl

Top Uriah Heep, WISE MAN

I sat before the wise man
In the autumn of my youth
And I told him all
The things I had to know
He said you have the future
If you need to find the truth
And in his eyes
I saw that it was so
So I came right out
And asked him
The meaning of life
And as he smiled
I saw a twinkle in his eye
He said with all his years
There's still so much
He has to learn
And once again
I saw that it was so
Keep on living, loving
Waiting your turn
It's the only way to
Ease your concern
If you want to find
Your dream, be sure
You don't wake up too soon
Or you'll find it easier
Shooting for the moon
Wise man, wise man
Which way shall I run
There's so many roads
So many ways to turn
I am like a blind man
Lost in the sun
I wanna be like you
And be a wise man too
But I'm looking for
An easy way to learn

Top Uriah Heep, High And Mighty

I just lay down wonderin'
What to lay down
Lately I can do it
Every day undisturbed
I think I know what
But I can't find out how
The morning didn't show me
What it was worth
Miles and miles of smiles
Getting me nowhere
Opportunities I just can see
Can't lead me to the slaughter
¡®cause I'll already be there
I've been up that street
And I know what's waiting for me
Just waiting
Midnight, moonlight
Day into day
No escape I must stay
Midnight, show me the way
Show me the way
Give me something to play
Something to play
To help me make the new day
Take me out of the darkness
Into the light
I've no friends to stand by me
Here in the night
It's an affair of
A sad and weary heart
Take me out of the darkness
Back to the start
I just lay down wonderin'
What to lay down
Lately I can do it
Every day undisturbed
I think I know what
But I just can't find out how
The morning didn't show me
What it was worth

Top Uriah Heep, CRIME OF PASSION

It's a crazy life, a hazy life, a mixed up jumbled phasy life
A crazy life for people who want to smile
I just don't understand, why so hard to say 'Hello' before 'Goodbye'
It's a coo coo life, a lulu life, a moody magic voodoo life
A coo coo life for people who want to love
I just don't understand, why so green that it's been hang-ups day to day
I gotta pack up get away
'Cause it's a crazy life, yes, it's a crazy life, crazy life
It's a stupid life, elusive life, a lonely stuck secluded life
A stupid life for people who want to fly too high
I just don't understand, why so blue, what to do
I'm gonna kiss my sky, goodbye, I'm gonna jump way down and die

Top Uriah Heep, CROSS THAT LINE

What do you say
To a talk over dinner
Though we haven't
Spoken for a while
This time I won't take no
For an answer
You can't hide forever
From your only son
Let's take a seat
Right here by the window
I remember how you like the view
Now look me in the eye
The truth I wanna hear
The time is right
There's a shadow hanging
Over me tonight
Tell me what you did now
Even though it hurts to say
It's always been a mystery
Locked behind the door
Tell me is it true now
Do you need the heart to say it
I always did my best for you
Don't you lie
Don't you lie no more
You tought me the way
To be a winner
And never to play
On the losing side
I guess that I turned out
The way you always planned
So hard to cross that line
But the words have got to come

Top Uriah Heep, CRY FREEDOM

She told the story
I listened with my eyes closed
So sad but so true
She whispered softly
I asked her why she did so
She knew that I knew
She was a skater
The ice was her second home
The country's finest
Everyone could see
She had a plan
To break across the border
Instead of waiting for
The powers that be
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
To get ready
Cry freedom, sweet freedom
Tell the whole world
That we're ready
She said goodnight
But just as I was leaving
A black car came into view
And waiting there
They could hear me breathing
They knew that I knew, cry freedom
Insane questions
They asked me what did I know
So strange, they let me go
But more they try
The stronger our love grows
I know that I know, cry freedom
Cry freedom, sweet freedom ...

Top Uriah Heep, Very 'Eavy Very 'Umble

Well the very first time I saw you darling
Not one single word would come to my lips
Yes, the very first time I saw you darling
Not one single word would come to my lips
You see, I was so afraid you wouldn't love me
I want to tell you right now
I was frightened right down to my fingertips
So baby when you went away
That unlucky day last September
I was like a little lost boy in the wilderness
Baby baby baby baby baby baby baby
When you went away, oh yeah
I was like a little lost boy in the wilderness
And I've just been sitting and thinking
Of everybody I've ever known
Ooo, well you know I still love you the best
Yeah, the very best

Top Uriah Heep, CIRCUS

Walkin around this concrete garden
Viewing all in vain
Thinking why a dream
Is driving everyone insane
Then something will come
And make you feel
The master in control
Still you're picking up
And screwing anyone
Whos got a soul
Ive been here
Far too long to remember
Sights and sounds
From this town of clowns
Makin up, dressin up
Walkin around
Thinkin that you're greta garbos
Im sorry my dears
But we only sat down
And laughed and laughed in sorrow
But it was you
That opened the door
And it's that we thank you for
Everyone insane ...

Top Uriah Heep, COME AWAY MELINDA

Daddy, daddy, come and look, see what I have found
A little ways away from here, while digging in the ground
Come away Melinda, come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture book, they had before the war
Daddy, daddy come and see, daddy, come and look
Where there's four orfive little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book
Come away Melinda, come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war
Oh daddy, daddy come and see, daddy hurry do!
While there's someone in a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you, won't you tell me why
Come away Melinda, come in and close the door
That someone is your mummy, you had before the war
Daddy, daddy tell me if you can
Why can't things be the way they were, before the war began
Come away Melinda, come in and close the door

Top Uriah Heep, Come Back To Me

Alone again
I feel so alone again
with this emptiness I just can't hide
picture me with a broken heart
see the tears run down my face.
(Ev'rything I had has gone) Ev'rything is gone
loneliness still lingering on
ev'rytime I thought was mine
come back to me
can't we try it one more time
come back to me.
I know I'll find another love in time
but you'll always be there in the back of my mind
the power of love can bring such pain
I still love
I just love you
alone again I'm so alone again
with nothing
nothing but you on my mind
can't you see what you've done to my life
what can I do to win you back again ?
(Ev'rything I had has gone) Ev'rything is gone
loneliness still lingering on
ev'rything I thought was mine
(come back to me)
can't we try it one more time
come back to me
come back to me.
Take a piece of my heart
baby
come back to me
come back to me
don't you know
that I love you
girl
come back to me
come back to me
don't you know
that I love you
babe
come back to me
come back to me
w can you close and fail
how can the light that burns

Top Uriah Heep, HOT NIGHT IN A COLD TOWN

Sonny's out strolling, ambling slowly
Washed in amber street lights
A Mexican wind blows in
Takin' ahold of Angelina's hair
And her halo
Motors running, muffling the sound
Of the street talk
A big deal's goin' down
In another hot night
In a cold town
Got yourself a hot night
In a cold town
Johnny's got spare change
In his pocket
A ring and a watch
To hock for a sweet ride
A one way ticket
Hidden in his shoe
These last few hours
He says he'll spend with you
He's leavin' home without a trace
No forwarding address
He'll never have to face another
Hot night
In a cold town
Got yourself a hot night
In a cold town
Well, the losers and the groovers
And the corner boys
Are hangin' around
Runnin' in and out of doorways
Up and down the stairways
Stray dogs headed for the pound
In another
Hot night in a cold town
Got you, got yourself a
Hot night in a cold, cold town
Cold town
It's just another hot night
In a cold town
Such a cold town

Top Uriah Heep, Been Hurt

At the age of eighteen
I had had enough
And by twenty one
I decided to get tough
And then i found the guard
Was still too rough
And i've been hurt
Ever since that day
I've been hurt and i've lost my way
I still think i have a chance
To find your love
Well, i tried to love you
One day at a time
Each day waiting
Hoping for the sign
It was clear i needed luck
More than this time
And i've been hurt
Ever since that day
I've been hurt, well, i've lost my way
I still think i have a chance
To make you mine
My empty heart is
Counting all the ways
Fire and desire
Sat and count days
Will you, won't you
When and where
Do you, don't you, do i care
That same eternal question
Is always there

Top Uriah Heep, Celebrate

You're leavin', you're leavin'
Leavin', you're leavin'

And i'll send you some love
'cause where i wanna go

Top Uriah Heep, Into The Wild

Red blood on the white snow...
Red blood on the white snow...
The troopers are coming,
They want me dead not alive,
Gonna run in the danger,
When they open fire.
Don't cry,
Little sister I won't be coming home.
Don't cry,
Little sister...
In the cold hearted winter,
Dogs are running at my back,
The nightmare is coming in,
And I'm on this frozen track.
Don't cry,
Little sister I won't be coming home
Don't cry,
Little sister I'll fight this one alone
Red blood on the white snow...
Red blood on the white snow...
If you think I'm guilty
And I'm just a gambling man
Well no one is above the law,
I'm gonna have to make a stand.
Don't cry,
Little sister I won't be coming home.
Don't cry,
Little sister I'll fight this one alone
Red blood on the white snow...
Red blood on the white snow...
Across the land,
They're getting closer.
I keep my ear to the ground
They ride me down,
Got no mercy
But I never will be found
Oh little sister,
Don't you cry,
You know I cannot stay
I gotta find a place,
A place to hide
'Cos the blood hounds know my way
It's the same old lies,
Don't believe what you hear about me
I'm gonna fight 'till it's over,
And face that hanging tree
Don't cry,
Little sister I won't be coming home
Don't cry
Little sister I'll fight this one alone
Red blood on the white snow...
Red blood on the white snow...

Top Uriah Heep, Intro

Sunrise and the new day's breakin' trough
The morning of another day without you
And as the hours roll by
No one's there to see me cry except the sunrise
The sunrise and you...
Tired eyes drift across the shore
Looking for love and nothing more
But as the sea rolls by
No-one's there to see me cry... except the sunrise
The sunrise and you...
Sun-rise bless my eyes
catch my soul - make me whole again
Sunrise .. new day.. hear my song
I'm tired of fightin' and foolin' around
But from now on till who knows when
My sword will be my pen
And I'll love you... love ya'... for all of my time
Sun-rise.... bless my eyes
Catch my soul - make me whole again
Sun-rise.... bless my eyes
Catch my soul - make me whole again
Sun-rise.... bless my eyes

Top Uriah Heep, MAKE A LITTLE LOVE

I walked you to your doorstep
Believin' we could make a little love
And I let you have my heart
I was as certain as the stars above
Looked here and there
Every everywhere
I even searched beyond the dawn
But you were nowhere to be found
And I was going round and round
Lost like I'd never been born
Time after time
I’ve lost my love for a rhyme
A reason seemed good enough
You always put me down
While you made me run around
I can't take anymore of that stuff
Time after time
I’ve lost my love for a rhyme
And my reason
Seemed good enough
You always put me down
And you make me run around

Top Uriah Heep, Masquerade

A masquerade of dancing shadows
Appear before me
Through my mystic window
And soon to be seen
I saw presented
Became a vision that
I saw resented
I stood and watched
Its image changing
The unseen hand was rearranging
And all the time I wondered
How did it wind
Slowly, surely it unfolded
Its simple lines just as
A pole wind told it
A temporary revolution
My problems rose and fell
With a lapse of illusion
My mind was telling me, don't fight it
It's just a hazard in the night
Don't do those
Who've lost their way
It's a masquerade
Masquerade, it's a masquerade ...

Top Uriah Heep, LOVE IS BLIND

I tried to give you love
That was ever flowing
I tried to give a love
That could be so true
But you wanted less
Than I had to offer
What was I to do
I tried to bare a soul
That would swear devotion(?)
I tried to promise dreams
I would make come true
But you said that love was
A game for children
Here I stand, a fool
Love is blind
Blinded by love
You're all I can see in my eyes
My mind says, stop
But my heart says, go
And oh, how it hurts to find
It's true when they say that
Love is blind
Love is blind
I told myself if there
Was a chance to show you
Just how good a love affair could be
But love was something that
You had never given
I just couldn't see
I closed my eyes to all that
You never gave me
(???)My heart didn't wanna see
How you played around
And how well you showed me
How wounded love can be
Love is blind
Blinded by love
You're all I can see in my eyes
My mind says, stop
But my heart says, go
Oh, how it hurts to find
It's true when they say that
Love is blind
Love is blind
So blind

Top Uriah Heep, Love Machine

Lovely little lady, you've got me on the run.
You're a love machine and you say that I'm your gun.
But I don't care, cause I've got to know...
You said you were a loser, the kind that came up rusted.
So I had to try hard to satisfy your thirst.
But I don't care, cause I've got to know...
The only time she's happy is when the bullets fly.
and she'll make you feel you're better than any other guy.
But I don't care, cause I've got to know...
Lovely little lady, you've got me on the run.

Top Uriah Heep, LOVE OR NOTHING

la...
It's gotta be love
It's gotta be love or nothing
You gotta make up your mind
'cause you're running out of time
you know it's your game
and the winner takes all
it's time for you to realise
there's gonna be no compromise
it's gonna be love
it's gonna be love or nothing at all
it's gonna be love or nothing
it's gotta be love (la
or nothing at all.
I've thought about a new beginning
but you know your heart's not in
there's something inside
that ain't hearing my call.
And each new misty morning
brings a constant warning
it's gotta be love
it's gotta be love or nothing at all.
la...
It's gotta be love (La
It's gotta be love or nothing at all
you gimme your love or nothing at all
you gimme your love.
It's no good coming in the back seat
in the name of love
or tryin' to be somebody
that you know you're not
sneaking out the back door
at the dead of night
'cause you're never gonna find out
what it's really like.
it's gotta be love (la
it's gotta be love or nothing at all
it's gotta be love or nothing.

Time was when you took
A pride in puttin me down
Well Ive some news for you

And the games you wanna play
Cause a love like mines
Gonna take some time
You can't save it for a rainy day
Well, l do you know
Do you know
Do you know what
Im trying to say
Loves not a game
Its never the same
You gotta live your love
From day to day
Lonely days are long and
Sad nights are so black
Then I get right down thinkin
Maybe I could take you back
Till at mornin light
A new face appears at my door
As a kinda reminder that

Top Uriah Heep, DIFFERENT WORLD

You can't stop a man from learning
I could write the book of love
Captured moments there
Between me and you
Then I had the thought of leavin
It was a voice inside my head
Telling me I got to have the strength
To see it through
And I know its
Gonna break your heart
And I know its
Gonna break your heart
Im living in a different world
And as I slip away
I see you fade to black and white
Im living in a different world
With all my hopes and dreams
I drift off in the night
Im alone but Im not lonely
I found something that I never had
Laying back in the easy chair
Is not the life for me
You think Im your one and only
But you gamble with a restless man
In the end Ive found the way
That we can both be free
Im living in a different world
And as I slip away
I see you fade to black and white
Im living in a different world
With all my hopes and dreams
I disappear into the night
Im living in a different world
And as I slip away
I see you fade to black and white
Im living in a different world
With all my hopes and dreams
Im living in a different world
And as I slip away
Im living in a different world
With all my hopes and dreams

Top Uriah Heep, Head First

Ooh, late at night I?ll be knock, knock, knockin? on your door
I said late tonight I?ll be callin?, you can be sure
I?m gonna take you, ooh, it?s gonna hurt so good

When I take you
On the other side of midnight
The other side of midnight

The other side of midnight
I?ll be callin?
The other side of midnight
On the other side
I?ll be waitin?, I?ll be callin?
The other side of midnight
I?ll be knock, knock, knockin? at midnight

Top Uriah Heep, Demons and Wizards

He was the wizard of a thousand kings
and a chance to meet him one night wondering.
He told me tales and he drank my wine.
Me and my magic man kinda feeling fine.
He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire.
And as he spoke I felt a deep desire
to free the world of its fear and pain
and help the people to feel free again.
Why don't we listen to the voices in our hearts?
Cause then I know we'll find we're not so far apart.
Everybody's got to be happy, everyone should see.
For we know the joy of life and peace that love can bring.
So spoke the wizard in his mountain home.
The vision of his wisdom means we'll never be alone.
And I will dream of my magic night
and the million silver stars that guide me with their light.

Top Uriah Heep, Dreams

You should have seen Tuesday's dream dancing in my head
For you'd have heard a thousand words that nobody have said
And you'd have watched me try to run where dreams have never strayed
Heard my cries because I knew I really was afraid
Dreams, dreams I'll never keep
My body rests but my eyes refuse to sleep
Sights and sounds my mind created
Far beyond the thoughts of which we speak
Come on!
And then we danced on silver wings upon a gilded thread
I heard the song the Angel sings to bless my lowered head
And at the door of paradise my best laid plan begun
But as I turned to reach for you, my colored knight, it was gone
Dreams, dreams I'll never keep
My body rests but my eyes refuse to sleep
Sights and sounds my mind created
Far beyond the thoughts of which we speak
And then we danced on silver wings upon a gilded thread
I heard the song the Angel sings to bless my lowered head
And at the door of paradise my best laid plan begun
But as I turned to reach for you, my colored knight, it was gone
Dreams, dreams I'll never keep
My body rests but my eyes refuse to sleep
Sights and sounds my mind created

Top Uriah Heep, Home Again To You

Don't throw it all away
Hear what I've gotta say
Because you're always on my mind
I've got an eye on you
And only you will do
And I don't wanna waste my time
So won't you hear me out
Because It's all about when
I come home again to you
You're such a little child
You're gonna drive me wild
As I just don't know what to say
I got an eye on you
And only you will do
And I don't wanna get in your play
Hesitate, because I cannot wait
Till I come home again to you
You make me feel so old
Just like I have been told
Because it's always up to you
Oh baby, hear me out
I've done all my time
I don't wanna be misused
So please don't hesitate
Because I cannot wait
Till I come home again to you

Top Uriah Heep, I Want You Babe (Spice Song)

Oh, I want you babe
I want you all to myself
And now and then
I’m gonna hold you
Tell you that I’m gonna love you
Come with me and I will show you
In a while I’ll get to know you
Oh, you know I needed you woman
I needed you, I needed you
Every day and night, right
Now and then
I’m gonna hold you
Tell you that I’m gonna love you
Come with me and I will show you
In a while I’ll get to know you
Yeah, yeah, oh
Well, you know what
The secret is I guess
And you think you know
Who your lover’s wife is
So you better stop
That thing you’re doing
Baby, you‘re driving me, driving me
Driving me to my ruins
But I, I want you babe
When I was a young man
Always trying to say hello babe
But you’d never know
You live in want
Never knowing that I existed
Till my mind was twisted
I was always trying, sometimes crying
Oh, I needed you, needed you
Needed you ...
Stop that thing that you’re doing
Baby, you‘re driving me, driving me
Driving me to my ruins
Oh, I want you babe
I needed you, I needed you
Every single day
Of my entire life
And everytime I tried
Someone else would come along
There it went again
But now and then
I’m gonna hold you
Tell you that I’m gonna love you
Come with me and I will show you
In a while I’ll get to know you
You and me we’re gonna make it
Come with me, we mustn’t break it

Top Uriah Heep, I'm Alive Again

So many questions
So many lies
Truth has been hidden
Behind your eyes
But I'll survive
Oh, I'm alive
Look for the answers
Try to understand
Fight when you have to
Run if you can
But I'll survive
Yeah, I'm alive
Look closely at the stars
I'm a man of broken dreams
But I'm alive again
Oh yeah, I can bleed
I'm a man of broken dreams
When I'm alive again
Oh yeah, come see me bleed
I'm a man of broken dreams
But I'm alive again
Don't take no prisoners
That's what you said
I was burned, I was broken
Lost and left for dead
But I'll survive
Oh, I'm alive
Look closely at the stars
I'm a man of broken dreams
But I'm alive again
Oh yeah, I can bleed
I'm a man of broken dreams
But I'm alive again
Oh yeah, I'm alive again
I'm alive again
Come see me bleed
I'm alive again
I'm alive again

Top Uriah Heep, In Love (Spice Song)

Whether she’ll come, I could not say
We made the date just the other day
Well, here she comes
All dressed in white
She looks so nice
She’ll last the night
In love
Perhaps it will last until dawn
In love
Or untill that we two are one
In love
Oh, I’m old and she is so young
In love, in love, in love
I asked her if she’d come out again
She said she likes such mature men
Yes, she did
She says that I’m so nice and strong
I’m getting through, it won’t be long
In love
With her hands caressing my face
In love
I’m so glad I’ve got my own place
In love
She must be of very bad taste
In love, in love, in love
There must come a time
Even for me
But all this happens so suddenly
So quick
It’s very hard for me to say
But can this be the only way
In love
I can’t think of anyone who
In love
Could make me feel like I do
In love
We’ll start our lives anew
In love, in love, in love
In love ...

Top Uriah Heep, Crystal Ball

Do we live our lives in moderation?
Does this appear when you're around?
And the deeper in debt
The harder the bet
Your thoughts are one of a clown
Look out before you sign
Your soul away
The crystal ball, it seems
Is not reading tomorrow - reading today
Does the time seem right
For some rethinking?
It seems a gift that you have
Are you living a dream
Of express progress?
It's just a thought that you have
Oh, you should've known better
When the warning light was lit
As it did for others
You preach a sermon
When you talk of the Messiah
We are yet to discover
Thinkin', lovin', feelin'

Top Uriah Heep, Magic Lantern (Spice Song)

When you look inside
My magic lantern
All the world is yet unseen
Try to gaze into
The yellow glowing
To get a reflection of me
In a land of make believe and magic
You can be just anything you feel
You think that what you’re in is a dream
But know that the lantern is viewing
View the magic lantern
Take a trip around the world
View the magic lantern
There’s a thousand
Mysteries unfurled
And I know one of them
I remember your face
Can’t remember the place
Here on our own
Living alone
You can dream that
You’re a man of power
Ready to be happy with your gold
Without love your mind is going sour
Money’s no good when you’re old
View the magic lantern
You can have the sky above
Yeah, the magic lantern
You’ll buy everything but love
Everything but love

Top Uriah Heep, Magician's Birthday

In the magic garden
Some were singing
Some were dancing
While the midnight moon
Shone brightly overhead
The stars so gaily glistened
And the sphinx in silence listened to
The magician tell of
Lives that he had led
Let the bells of freedom ring
Songs of love to Friday's king
Let's all go to
The magician's birthday
It's in a forest
But not so far away
Much to do
And so much to say
While we listened to
The orchid orchestra play
Happy Birthay to you ...
Happy Birthday to magician
Happy Birthday to you ...
Then at the dead of midnight
As we watched the dancing firelight
The air grew cold
And seemed to dull the flame
The fire died
The music faded
Filled with fear of death we waited
For now we knew
Some evil was to blame
I challenge you
I challenge you all
For all you own
And all you know
And I own the powers of darkness
I will steal what is mine
Surrender now or face my spite
I grant you it may be Friday night
But did you know this day
Also numbers thirteen
First I'll give you fire
I turn your fire into a sleepy stream
Yes, now I give you nightmares
From your horror I'll create a dream
You cannot fight me
For I have the sword of hate
But one thing you can't see
My answer is simply
An impenetrable fortress
Of love ... love ... love ...
The fear went as quickly as it came
The air was clear
The fire burned again
The flames leapt
The organ played
The swans sang
To greet the day
And then we knew that
Love will find love will find love ..

Top Uriah Heep, The Wizard

Top Uriah Heep, THINK IT OVER (vocals John Soman)

I've had all I can take
I've taken just too much
I've made a big mistake
That put me out of touch
I don't think I can face
Another single day
Without a call from you
To take this pain away
So many tears ago
You turned and walked away
It could've been the end
But I knew better
I had to tell myself
There'll be another day
She wants to call it quits
But don't you dare her
Can't you see
There's a chance for you and me
Think it over
Don't believe
In the things that may not be
Think it over
Forgetting you is out
I ain't giving in
The fuss was down you
But its' not over
You have to face the truth
I'm still in love with you
You have to make scene
But it's not over
Well, think it over, babe

Top Uriah Heep, THINK IT OVER (vocals Peter Goalby)

Top Uriah Heep, WHY (single b-side version)

This version has slightly different lyrics than 'The Lansdowne Tapes' version
Thought of no tomorrow
The pain, tears and sorrow
And you never told me why
The way you cheated
And mistreated
I could never ask you why
Well, I'm gonna find out
I'm gonna find out
What's been messing up your mind
Messing up your mind
Well, I've been through
Some changes
Now I'm leaving
While me mind rearranges
Why I'm grieving
I don't mean that you hurt me
Or deceived me
For I know that you're there
And you need me
You sure do
But I hope you can't see how it is
I can't stay any longer
I've got to go
Is there any true reason
Or anything I can explain
Can't we talk about it baby
And get together again
You see I have the feeling
That this isn't the end
And I feel knowing
On you I depend
I depend on you
I'm gonna find out, yes I am
I'm gonna find out
What it is that's been
Messing up your mind
Well, I said that I love you
And I need you
Then it means I am yours
Yes, I belong to you
But I just can't be certain
That you love me too
Well, I've got to know
If I can believe in you
Please believe my heart is yours
I can't stay any longer
I've got to go
Perhaps it's best for us
To stay together
And try to live our lives as one
And maybe we will find
We're still together
To watch the setting of the sun

Top Uriah Heep, WHY DID YOU GO

I woke up today
With my head in daze
¡®cause my love had gone
With nothing to do
Just to dream about you
And how we went wrong
But oh, why did you go
I loved you so, didn't you know
I walk into town
With my head hangin' down
Tryin' to hide my pain
The people I meet
As I float down the street
Tell me try again
When I remember how good it was
It makes me cry
'cause my life's been
Turned upside down
All I want is someone
But how do you say
Please will you stay
Please will you stay
I'll settle down to a life
Of a clown to remain alive
I'll work till I bleed
And if I can succeed

Top Uriah Heep, WHICH WAY WILL THE WIND BLOW

People on the sidewalk
Making small talk
Keeping up with life
Ask no questions
Make no decisions
Just do what's right
Oh, do you wanna runaway
Oh, do you wanna breakaway
Someone's screamin'
Calling out for help
But everyone looks after themselves
No one cares or gives a damn
How can we live in this land
Are you looking out for you
One hand can change
This world, it's true
Some will stay and some must go
But do they really know
Oh, which way will the wind blow
Which way will the seas flow
Which way with time
Oh, which way will the world turn
Who's hand will control it in our time
With our hands on eyes
Fingers in our ears
We've been like this
For too many years
Let others do what they do
Without asking if it's good for you
Turn it round, upside down
Plug it in, turn up the sound
Let's hear what's in your head

Top Uriah Heep, WHO NEEDS ME

Don't take life for granted
Cause you know that
Life wont grant you back
The feelings on the love
That you once had
Youve taken me for granted
Cause you know
Im a lover just like you
And I'll do anything
You want me to
Who needs me?
Who needs me now?
Youll find someone
How you'll find one
Who needs me?
Who needs me now?
Youll find another but no better
You can't argue with me now
I needed you and
You did not know how
Don't let go of something
That is good when
Ill tell you it's bad
Let em hear the story
Make em sad
And if the price of love
Can cost you less than
When it first began
I guess that you wont
Find a better man

Top Uriah Heep, WHAT'S WITHIN MY HEART

Will I never see again
The smiling faces of my friends
Could it be they've gone completely
And though thoughts will linger
Sweetly in my heart
May I hear once more
The bird calls my name
May I be permitted just one friend
To share my game
The one who doesnt't't give a damn
For what I seem to be
And really cares for what I am and
What's within my heart
I believe the sun will shine
And I know that given time
The leaves will blow tumble and
Cry upon the autumn stone below
And my heart grows tired each day
As the sun grow cold
Weary uninspired each day
Til the story is told
You gave your love to one
Who only wants
What you seem to be
And doesnt't't really care for you or
What's within your heart
On my grave lay one black rose
Do this for me but don't suppose
Because Im gone, my soul is dead
For I'll be here in spirit
And our love once more
There must be a heart somewhere
In need of the love I have
That will reach out in sincerety and
Take my life in hand
Then I'll know it's not some one
Who wants just what I seem to be
The one who cares
For what I am and
What's within my heart

Top Uriah Heep, WHEN THE WAR IS OVER

When the war is over
Got to get away
Pack my bags to
No place in no time no day
You and I, we used
Each other's shoulder
Still so young
But somehow so much older
How can I go home
And not get blown away
Ain't nobody gonna
Steal this heart away
When the war is over
Got to start again
Try to hold a trace of
What it was back then
You and I, we shared
Each other's stories
Just a page that's
Lost in all its glory
How can I go home
And not get blown away
You and I had our sights
Set on something
Hope this doesn't mean
Our days are numbered
I've got plans for more
Than a wanted man
All around is chaos and madness
Can't help feeling
Nothing more than sadness
Only choice to face it
The best I can
Ain't nobody gonna
Steal this heart away
And not get blown away ...

Top Uriah Heep, What Can I Do?

I wish you'd stop and
Give a helping hand
For I guess I'm only half a man
I feel the only way for me to leave
Is just to give you
Everything I can give
â€˜Cause without you, without you
What can I do
I will give you all the love I have
Just to know you stop me
Being so sad
I hope you won't think
So badly of me
â€˜Cause I had to tell you
This could break myself in
Being helpless is a habit of mine
No one else can understand
You are the one to
Help me to survive
If you're any friend of mine
Yesterday you gave a helping hand
To some one you'll
Never understand
Though I tried to tell you of this way
You said I had nothing
Constructive to say
But without you, without you
What can I do ...

Top Uriah Heep, WHAT SHOULD BE DONE

So you think you found a way of living
that prevents you losing any sleep.
Well, my friend, take this that I'm giving.
It's your piece of mind you aught to keep.
You'll run into trouble, for sure,
by living behind a locked door.
Well, you run the risk of being taunted
by doing what you want to do.
Or do you prefer to have your whole life haunted
by the ones who choose to care for you?
Where are their motives, my friend?
Take care your still there again.
Watch out for winter, it'll bite you with cold.
Black spirits trying hard to bribe you with gold.
Would you steal a nickel from a blind man?
Well right now, I do believe you would.
It's not the thought of you doing it that hurts me,
it's the mind behind it that's no good.
If this is your way, I don't want to know.
There's only so far I can go.
I won't go no further - not for you or anyone.
I have my own ideas of what should be done.
What should be done.
What should be done.

Top Uriah Heep, WEEP IN SILENCE

You who thought
Your eyes could tell no lies
So your life became a compromise
And it was you
Who had seen men dyin’
You heard their children cryin’
While their women weep in silence
And you who thought
You were so wise
Succeeded only in disguise
Now and then
You'd find a bridge to cross
Reach the other side
And you'd still be lost
Evaded by the sweet smell of life
And the people that you try
To show the way
Never believe you
Never believe you - no way
While your women weep in silence
Your women weep in silence

Top Uriah Heep, WHAD'YA SAY

Whadya say ...
Lady you're tyin me down
Turning my heart to stone
And I can't help feeling
Id be better off
Back out in the streets alone
Baby you're hurtin me
Deserting me again
I looked for your loyalty
And found a fickle friend
We could try to get back
On the right track baby
Or leave it, just throw it away
We could pick it up, pack it up
Make up or break up
Lets try it again
Faced with this situation
There's two things we can do
A lot of it is up to us
But most of it's down to you
You know we
Shouldnt play with love
Its a dangerous thing to do
So lets not get agony

Top Uriah Heep, CONFESSION

I'm so sorry for the things I've done
And the times it went a little wrong
Try to understand
That I’ve made my plans
With my love for you in mind
Sometimes you get the wrong idea
And I can't seem to make it clear
If my heart doesn't show
It's ‘cause I don't know
The best way to say I love you
Every living day
You fill my heart
With a breath of spring
And I search the universe
For some joy

Top Uriah Heep, THE SHADOWS AND THE WIND

Oh, they're moving in again
Hidden by the shadows
And the wind
But we'll just wait awhile and then
We'll show 'em all that
This time we ain't giving in
Without a care they
Sweep aside our dreams
To try and make way for their own
No more should we surrender
To their schemes
It's time to stand and
Show 'em we are not alone
Time has changed us all
We have our minds
Life has taught us
We all have our love
And it's time to use it, use it
Nature gave us colour
Day and night
So if you really got a reason
Then you better be right
The seasons of the year
Still are spring and fall
But there's nothing in the world
That's says it's right to fight
Time has changed us all
We have our minds
Life has taught us
We all have our love
Why donâ‚¬â„¢t we use it
Come on and use it
Why donâ‚¬â„¢t we use it
Come on and use it
La la la la la ...

Top Uriah Heep, What About The Music

I don't mind talking, girl
But there's a time and place
Right now we're alone, yeah
But it's just gone to waste
Look up and see the moon
Slide down the clouds
The radio is playing softly now
So if you talk above a wisdom
It's too loud
What about the music, babe
What about the moon
It's a shame if we talk music
We'll be leaving soon
You keep on talking, girl
We can talk on the phone
We should be kissing, babe
Now that we're alone
Though when they're singing
Love songs to the moon
You know it's love
That makes the flowers bloom
But you keep saying things you
Could tell me in a crowded room
What about the music, yeah
What about the moon, babe
It's a shame if we talk music
We'll be leaving soon
What about the music
Sweet soul music
What about the moon
Hey, what about the moon, babe
We are loving and i can't lose it
We'll be leaving soon
What about the music, yeah
What about the moon
I said it's a shame if we talk music
We'll be leaving soon
What about the music, yeah
What about the moon
It's a shame if we talk music
We'll be leaving soon
What about the music, yeah
What about the moon
It's a shame if we talk music
We'll be leaving soon
What about the music
What about the moon
It's a shame if we talk music

Top Uriah Heep, One More Night

One more night ...
City lights are
Burning in the distance
Seems they're tellin' me
To hurry home
But i can't push these
Wheels of mine no harder
So hold on baby for
One more night alone
There's time for me to take just
One look over my shoulder
One last glance at
What's been going on
'cause i'll be there at
First light in the morning
We'll pick up the pieces
And baby, then we'll be long gone
Pick up the pieces and run with me
As fast as you can
You know you always said
I was the man
Pick up the pieces, let's do it now
Let's say our last farewell
Tomorrow may be too late

Top Uriah Heep, THE SPELL

What do you think I am
Do you think Im dreaming
Don't you know I know
What it is you're scheming
Who dyou think gave you the right
Hidden by the dead of night
To take the world and
Turn it upside down
When it should be round
Seems I made it just in time
To use my reason and my rhyme
To save us from
The evils of your mind
I will cast the spell
Be sure I'll cast it well
I will light a fire
Kindled with desire
Ill fill you with fear
So you know Im here
And I wont be treated like a fool
Its no good you pretending
Therell be no happy ending
Im alive and darkness is my tool
But when the night is over
And daytime steals your cover
The goodness of the morning sun
Will warm away
What you have done
And leave you cold
I have no need for moonlight
Youre wrong to trust in sunlight
For I exist not just in storms
But in life itself in so many forms
To leave you cold
I will leave you now
But you wont defeat me
You had best beware
When you come to meet me
Love and truth will follow me
An army of reality
Brought from every corner
Of the world
You will never break the spell
Ill summon all the fires of hell
And this is my advice
For what it's worth
Let us not begin
This fight we cannot win
Be sure you're watching me
Cause all through your life
Everyday and everynight
You should know that

Top Uriah Heep, Skools Burning

Skools burning, it's burning down
Burning down, burning down
Stand up, sit down
Don't turn around
Don't talk and don't smoke
Don't laugh, no joke
Too many rules, too many fools
Gonna raise it to the ground
We're gonna get high
Light up the sky
Gonna burn it down
Yes sir, no sir, 3 bags full
Speak up or shut up
Backs to the wall
Stand in line, take it outside
See the soldiers march in time
Rollin' out of bed, fallin' on my head
I think I'll pull the pin
Shape up, or ship out
Your hair's too long
Yes sir, no sir, the same old song
Stay after time and
Learn all your lines
Or write 'em out a thousand times
I heard what you said
Bells in my head
I think I'll pull the pin
There's gonna be a party tonight
People gonna come from miles
There's gonna be a fire here tonight
Gonna dance with the devil
Till the dawn
Dance with the devil till the dawn
Stand up, sit down
Don't turn around
Don't talk, don't smoke
Don't laugh, no joke
Too many rules, too many fools
Gonna raise it to the ground
Gonna get high, light up the sky

Looking out at the open space,
There's A new war beginning,
God my head is spinning

You know it takes no warning signs,
To know what's going on,
And the hands,

Top Uriah Heep, LOST ONE LOVE

She's lost in the night
She's out of my sight
Gotta find her again
She's out of my life
Gotta find her again
Will I ever see the daylight
Will I ever see the sun
Will I ever know the reason
Like a shadow she's gone
She's lost in the night
Out of my sight
Will I find her again
Taken my life
Have to find her again
Will I ever see the daylight
Will I ever see the dawn
How can I ever find her
She's just a shadow
Missing person
I don't know where she's gone
Lost one love, last seen somewhere
Walkin' away from the light
Lost one love, somewhere last seen
Walkin' into the night, she's gone
Will I ever see the daylight
Will I ever see the sun
Can I ever know the reason
Like a shadow, missing person
I don't know where she's gone
Lost one love, last seen somewhere
Walkin' away from the light
Lost one love, somewhere last seen
Walkin' into the night
She's lost in the night
And I don't the reason
Will I find her again
She's out of my sight
But I can't lose this feeling
Will I find her again

Top Uriah Heep, BEEN HURT (vocals John Sloman)

At the age of eighteen
I had had enough
And by twenty one
I decided to get tough
And then I found the guard
was still too rough
And I've been hurt
Ever since that day
I've been hurt and I've lost my way
I still think I have a chance
To find your love
Well, I tried to love you
One day at a time
Each day waiting
Hoping for the sign
It was clear I needed luck
More than this time
And I've been hurt
Ever since that day
I've been hurt, well, I've lost my way
I still think I have a chance
To make you mine
My empty heart is
Counting all the ways
Fire and desire
Sat and count days
Will you, won't you
When and where
Do you, don't you, do I care
That same eternal question
Is always there
It's always there

Top Uriah Heep, BETWEEN TWO WORLDS

You’re not the only one
Amongst the saints and sinners
There are those that we can see
And those no longer with us
To take that walk again
With someone you were close to
On stage in the other world tonight
And there are many
Who will say it’s speculation
We need to focus on
The sleeping generation
The healing vision
That extends beyond the pain
Will take you there and back again
I can remember
You were no stranger
As you came to me
Dreamers walking
And in that moment
Between two worlds
I saw the furthest star
Exploding all around you
And through the journey
You spoke in silence
And you made it clear
Walk in peace now
Then you touched me
Revealing all upon your way
Inside the burning fountain of timeOf time ...
A time so real as the one
We share each day
The same dimension
Just a heartbeat away
In every part of you
There’s so much exploration

Top Uriah Heep, BEEN AWAY TOO LONG

I'm coming home
I've been away far too long
I'm leaving it up to you
To understand
You may wonder why
When it was me who said
The last goodbye
But cannot change my mind
One more time
It's high time
I can't wait any longer
It's my time to find out
Who I belong to
It's breaking my heart
Waitin' for another day
When the time comes
You won't see me around
I've been patient
Standing my ground
Gotta see ya and hold ya
Hear what you have to say
Do you wake up in the morning
Wantin' me
The way I wake up wantin' you
And in the same breath
You keep hauntin' me
Does it ever occur to you
I've been in love too long
To stop now, oh
I've been away too long
I've been away too long
If you've ever cried
Then you'll know the pain
You felt inside
And just like me you pray
It's all untrue
But time alone will tell
If you have learned
Life's lessons well
And maybe then you'll know
What I should do
Been away, I've been away
I've been away too long
I've been away too long
I've been away too long
Too long, much too long

Top Uriah Heep, BEEN HURT (vocals John Lawton)

Top Uriah Heep, Bad Blood

Desperate man, desperate times
Desperate heart
Once she was mine
Bad blood, cold sweat
The more I give, the less I get
She picked clean to the bone
Black ice, danger zone
Bad blood runs through her veins
She's got bad blood
She'll never change
I held on long as I could
But that girl - bad blood
Perfect crimes, no clues
That girl's just bad news
I held on long as I could
Bad girl, bad blood
She cut clean to the bone
Tight jeans, danger zone
Girl's got bad blood ...
Glass heart, fools gold
Her blood is stone cold
Held on long as I could
But that girl's just no good
She picked clean to the bone
Black ice, danger zone

Top Uriah Heep, BEAUTIFUL DREAM

Sail down the stream
Such a beautiful dream
Never stopping
Never touching anything
Till dawn awakes you
With a breath of the Spring
Far from the crowds
Way above the clouds
We can take you to
The edge of the day
And show you living in
A new kind of way
We'll take you floating to
A sea of morning dew
Where everyone's the same
And no-one knows your name
And there you'll see that you can
Live your life to the extreme
Such a beautiful dream

Top Uriah Heep, BAD BAD MAN

In this supermarket city
Among the native smiles
You have to pay for attention
And do the best you can
There's a raging silence
And it's charged with action
Got no time for weakness
'Cause I'm a bad bad man
Down the streets of darkness
Where they know my name
Lies a force of evil
And a destructive plan
There's no time for questions
When you run into danger
Don't get too close to me
'Cause I'm a bad bad man
I'm working for the L.A. division
To stop the inner city collision
I'm bringing law and order
To the twenty-first century
I don't care for politics
You can keep your point of view
You'd be better off without it
I got my own bad plan
A tough cop has a lonely existence
A reputation of
The highest resistance
A mean runner bringing order
To the twenty-first century
I don't believe in passion
Don't believe in feelings
I take peace from the wicked
Run and hide while you can
I got no time for small talk
Got no time for off-the-wall talk
Don't care who I tread on
'Cause I'm a bad bad man

Top Uriah Heep, All My Life

I had a little look for a minute today
and I told here there was something that I wanted to say.
Just sitting there glowing, with her red light on,
so I gotta move fast and it shouldn't take long.
Maybe she will? Maybe she won't?
You get yourself together cause she doesn't say don't.
I never ever thought I was looking for a wife
but I think I can love her for the rest of my life.
I only took one cause I couldn't take two.
I want to make love and it's gotta be you.
Every little thing that I ever tried to say
is coming out right in my own kind of way.
Take it, make it, the weather feels fine.
She must be Lady Luck and she's gonna be mine.
I never ever thought I was looking for a wife
but I think I can love her for the rest of my life.
I will love you all my life.

Top Uriah Heep, Angel

Cant go to sleep without you
Starring in my dreams
I can't get you out of my head
I close my eyes, you're always there
I lock the door
But you're comin up the stairs
Cant stay awake
I know I have to try
What will it take to stop you
Walking in my sleep
How can I break
The hold you have on me
Angel will you never
Ever set me free
Oh angel, I can't stop you
Dancing on my bed
Youre an angel and
I can't get you out of my head
Angel, I can't stop you
Walking in my sleep
Youre an angel and I cant
Stop you starring in my dreams
How come you're givin me
These technicolour dreams
How can I get you out of my head
I close my eyes, you're always there
How can I get you out of my bed
I lie awake, all I see is you
Im going crazy, what can I do
Switch off the light
Then you start to call
I lock the door
Now you're coming through the wall
Angel, I can't stop you
Dancing on my bed
Youre an angel and
I can't get you out of my head
Sweet angel, I can't stop you
Walking in my sleep
Youre an angel and I cant
Stop you starring in my dreams
I can't stay awake much longer
This feelings getting stronger
You must be an angel
Cause I can't stop you
Dancing on my bed
Youre an angel and
I can't get you out of my head
Angel, I can't stop you
Walking in my sleep
Youre an angel and I cant
Stop you starring in my dreams
Sweet angel, I can't stop you
Dancing on my bed

Angel, I can't stop you
Walking in my sleep
Youre an angel and I cant
Stop you starring in my dreams
Sweet little angel eyes

Top Uriah Heep, Split Image

It’s the same old line
People get to you if they can
They take what they find
They will change you mind
They will fit you into their play
And then one day you’ll wake up
As somebody else
Someone they advented
A split image
Don’t let them burn you
Split image
Don’t let them turn you
Split image
Just keeps comin’ back
Comin’ back, comin’ back
To who you are
And the wrong get born
And the right ones just stay away
What he’s livin’ for
If the wrong get born
And we don’t have a word to say
And it’s so hard to wake up
Or in right groove
A crack in the mirror
He’s come ...
Remember who you are

Top Uriah Heep, WALKING IN YOUR SHADOW

I'm walking in your shadow ever since you went away.
And the clock on the wall really hasn't very much to say.
Oh, you left me bleeding
and left me needing - you.
In so very many ways I was trying to attract your mind.
But I'm the lonely one cause I had to leave it all behind.
Lied and decieving,
why should I be grieving - you?
Ride on a golden wing.
Set sail for the sun.
Make every cloud your slave.
Don't be alone.
When I get back from my trip of the ocean wide.
Still walking in your shadow and still looking for somewhere to hide.
If I am worse off,
it's all because of - you.
It's all because of you.
Ride on a golden wing.
Set sail for the sun.
Make every cloud your slave.
Don't be alone.
When I get back from my trip of the ocean wide.
Still walking in your shadow and still looking for somewhere to hide.
If I am worse off,
it's all because of - you.

Top Uriah Heep, WAKE UP (Set Your Sights)

Wake up! Set your sights! For never shall we fail.
Stand up for your rights and justice will prevail.
You're listening through endless nights
and decision is your goal.
So wake up! Set your sights! For the time is right for your role.
Yeah - for your role.
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Set your sights!
Never, never, never shall we fail.
Stand up, stand up, stand up for your rights.
Justice, justice, justice will prevail.
There in the morning, flying over the hills.
While men are yawning they are crushed by our wheels.
Never have I witnessed people in fear.
Not like today, not in many a year.
Go kill another, there are more close behind.
No screams of mother, are you out of your mind?
Though they are shattered they just don't seem to yield.
Bodies are scattered in all parts of the field.
Oh No! Did I tell you what would happen if you tried?
"Oh God, stop this killing!" said a young man before he died.
Wake up! Set your sights! For never shall we fail.

Top Uriah Heep, WEEKEND WARRIORS

Ten thousand stallions runnin’ wild
They dare to race the devil’s child
The race is on, hold tight the reins
They shared a week of broken chains
Wheels turnin’, wheels burnin’
See the eagles fly
Weekend warriors ...
Like shining knights
Of days gone by
They’re born again
They’ll never die
Wheels turnin’, wheels burnin’
See the angels fly
Weekend warriors ...
Like silver lighting from the sky
These gold-clad horses thunder by

Top Uriah Heep, WE GOT WE

WE GOT WE (Box, Byron, Hensley, Kerslake, Thain)
I got you
You got me
We are where we belong
Safe places
Warm faces
All have been gone too long
Sky writing
Inviting
Disappears amidst the cloud
False promise
The last cold kiss
All seem so distant now
Just with each other
We are all so well armed
And with a little care we need
Never be harmed
We've got we
And there's love
Before our eyes
We can have it
And hold it

Top Uriah Heep, TRAVELLER IN TIME

Every day I have to look to the sun
To see where it was that
I have come from
I have a feeling that
There must be a time
When I'll get a chance to go home
'Cause I'm so tired
Of being here alone
But I'm just a traveller in time
Trying so hard to pay for my crime
If I could go back
The same way I got here
And see the people that
I once held so near
I'd do my best to
Find an answer for you
But first I must wait till I'm set free
And I don't know
How long that's gonna be
'Cause I'm a man with
A whole lot on his mind
Just out there somewhere
Travelling in time
Travelling in time
I've tried for so long to find
Some way of helping mankind

Top Uriah Heep, Wake the Sleeper

I look back at those days
At the permanent haze
And the dark that surrounded me
Then good fortune arrived
I saw life in your eyes
You talked about changing views
Freedom to choose, darkness to light
There lies the kingdom
Of beautiful stories
Pure as the heaven's rain
Shine on the heartache
The bittersweet glory
Shine over everyone
Down the road I would fall
The wrong side of the wall
Sound of madness
Moved in for the kill
Then good fortune arrived
I saw life in your eyes
You talked about taking me
To place I should know
Just you and me
There's a hole in the sun
Where I wanted to run
There were clouds in the open sea
Then good fortune arrived
I saw life in your eyes
You talked about showing me
A place I should know
Just you and me
Shine over everyone...

Top Uriah Heep, VOICE ON MY TV

It's a familiar voice
Sometimes I wonder
If I have a choice
You give it everything
You're selling God
But am I listening
I hear you've seen the light
Your message comes to me
By satellite
You say I must believe
I say it's just another way
To deceive
If my salvation has anything to do
With your empty promises
And what you think is true
Well here's my donation
If it's all the same to you
I am the voice on your TV
But I am one and I am free
Always to say what I believe
I know you're only
A voice on my TV
The numbers on the screen
Will help me get to heaven
So it would seem
The money flows and flows
And no-one cares enough
To know where it goes
Look at all the millions
That you've taken for a ride
With the warmest words
And the coldest heart inside
And how much longer
Can I listen to your lies
What are all the
Credit card believers gonna say
When they hear about the scandals
And the lovers that you pay
And all about the meetings
In your secret hideaway
I am the voice on your TV
But I am one and I am free
Always to say what I believe
You're just a voice on my TV
Your power's strong but I am free
Always to say what I believe
I am the voice on your TV
But I am one and I am free
Always to say what I believe
Can you hear me
I am the voice on your TV
But I am one and I am free
Always to say what I believe

Top Uriah Heep, UNIVERSAL WHEELS

Top Uriah Heep, Spell

What do you think I am
Do you think I'm dreaming
Don't you know I know
What it is you're scheming
Who d'you think gave you the right
Hidden by the dead of night
To take the world and
Turn it upside down
When it should be round
Seems I made it just in time
To use my reason and my rhyme
To save us from
The evils of your mind
I will cast the spell
Be sure I'll cast it well
I will light a fire
Kindled with desire
I'll fill you with fear
So you know I'm here
And I won't be treated like a fool
It's no good you pretending
There'll be no happy ending
I'm alive and darkness is my tool
But when the night is over
And daytime steals your cover
The goodness of the morning sun
Will warm away
What you have done
And leave you cold
I have no need for moonlight
You're wrong to trust in sunlight
For I exist not just in storms
But in life itself in so many forms
To leave you cold
I will leave you now
But you won't defeat me
You had best beware
When you come to meet me
Love and truth will follow me
An army of reality
Brought from every corner
Of the world
You will never break the spell
I'll summon all the fires of hell
And this is my advice
For what it's worth
Let us not begin
This fight we cannot win
Be sure you're watching me
â€˜Cause all through your life
Everyday and everynight
You should know that
I'll be watching you

Top Uriah Heep, TIME TO LIVE

Let me see the sunshine. Let me feel the rain.
Let me go where I wanna go.
Well I want to smell the flowers, see the dawn again.
Find those friends I used to know.
Find those friends I used to know.
Well I spent twenty long years in a dirty old prison cell.
I never saw the light of day.
If you could understand, oh that kind of living hell.
That's the price I had to pay. Oh yeah!
That's the price I had to pay.
They say I killed a man, but I never told 'em why.
So you can guess what I've been through.
And so for twenty long years I've been thinking of that other guy
and what I saw him do to you.
What I saw him do to you.
Listen. So when tomorrow comes and I walk outside that door,
try to understand the strain.
But if you smile that smile I know I couldn't ask for more.
I know I'd do it all again. Yes I would.

Top Uriah Heep, I'm Alive

How strange when
You know the feeling
That something aint right
Youre fooled by the need of being
Youre blind to the light
Don't ask where
The stranger leads you
Hell show you the way
Just go out and make your conquest
Youve something to say
Im alive, Im alive and Im me
Ive just got to be free
Im alive to the world
There's been so much
Bad time wasted
Just look and you'll see
Weve got so much going for us
Its not just a dream
Lets look and well find the answers
To questions Ive made
Well reach out for new beginnings
Let love show the way
Lets leave our past behind
The love can make us blind
But now we know

Top Uriah Heep, Easy Living

This is a thing I've never known before, it's called easy living.
This is a place I've never seen before, and I've been forgiven.
Easy living, and I've been forgiven,
since you've taken your place in my heart.
Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find you.
Day after day on that windy road I had walked behind you.
Easy living, and I've been forgiven,
since you've taken your place in my heart.
Waiting, watching, wishing my hard life away.
Dreaming, fainting, ready for love every day
and some easy living.
Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find you.
Day after day on that windy road I had walked, walked behind you.
Easy living, and I've been forgiven,
since you've taken your place in my heart.
Easy living, and I've been forgiven,

Top Uriah Heep, Change

Once there was a man of power
Had no care for human life
Then one day he saw his living lie
Growing all around him
The wheel of change had taken over
Found a love he never knew
Now he teaches children what is true
Gather all around him
What made him choose to turn away
What makes us change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive
Running around in your confusion
From the cradle to the grave
Aint got time to see the world go by
Where are you going
Always moving round in circles
Talking words that never end
Standing in the grip of madness
Why oh why
What are you saying
How can we choose to run away
How do we change our mind
See the perception turn around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive
Realise this understanding
Move before it gets too late
Take this chance
Or life will pass you by
This is the only way
We must pull ourselves together
There's so much we must explain
Got to teach the children what is true
There is no other way
Why did we choose to turn away
Why did we change our mind
The will to see turns you around
There is no explanation why
There is no rhyme or reason
Just feel the love and you're alive
The incredible gift of life
Where the fire within burns bright
Every moment we live is true

Top Uriah Heep, CARRY ON

Carry on ...
So what can I do, what can I say
Do I have to stand and
Watch you walk away
I know there's got to be
A better way
I just can't go on living for today
I thought I heard a voice
Out on the wind
And I'm sure I heard it say
I'd find a friend
And it said I'd find
The answers in the end
All I gotta do is carry on
Carry on, carry on, the time is flyin'
You need another love
Maybe another town
Carry on, carry on
Don't wait until your hope is gone
When your last chance
Comes round
I'm gonna keep on looking
I won't quit
Aggravation
It ain't gonna hurt a bit
And I believe that
I have seen the last of it
There's nothing left to do

Top Uriah Heep, CHEAT 'N' LIE

Cheater, I know where you've been
Cheater, your lies
Can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I know
Cheater, I guess it's time for you to go
I'm tired of chasing shadows
So lllusive in the night
And your empty words
That leave me high and dry
Now the curtain's finally fallen
On this fantasy affair
You've had me for the last time
With your lies
Cheater, you're a cheater
I know where you've been
Cheater, your lies
Can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I know
Cheater, I guess it's time for you to go
The voices in the wind I heard
Kept telling me to run
Whispering a warning to my heart
And the voices deep as thunder
Tried to speak of things to come
I was blinded then
But now I see the light
Cheater, you're a cheater
And I know where you've been
Cheater, mean mistreater
Your lies can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I know
Cheater, I guess it's time
For you to go

Top Uriah Heep, CHASING SHADOWS

Safe in the shadows
Deep in the night
I know you're near
But you're nowhere in sight
Safe from the darkness
Down in the streets
I hear your footsteps
I hear your heartbeat
Oh, I can hear your heartbeat
On the street corner
Away from the light
I know you're near
But you're nowhere in sight
Over my shoulder
I feel you're near
I feel you moving
But you never appear
Chasing shadows
Chasing something I can't see
Chasing shadows
Will I ever be free
Chasing shadows
Into the darkness from the light
Chasing shadows
I'm just a victim of the night
The night
Cloaked in darkness
You play at your game
I hear you breathing
Call out your name
Closer, closer, I feel you so near
You're just a shadow
But you never appear
Chasing shadows
Chasing something I can't see
Chasing shadows
Will I ever be free
Chasing shadows
Into the darkness from the light
Chasing shadows
Another victim of the night
The night
Shadows in the night
Safe from the darkness
Deep in the night
I know you're here
You're nowhere in sight
Over my shoulder
I know you are near
I feel you moving
Will you ever appear
I'm chasing something I can't see
Will I ever be free

Top Uriah Heep, BLOOD RED ROSES

Heaven's above
What on earth has this come to
What have I done
What can I do now to show you
There's still a chance
If you're ready to make up
It's not too late
'Cause I'm not ready to break up
I try to call
But you don't hear at all
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Is tearing me apart
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
You've got to understand
That's my heart in your hand
Don't walk away
We can get this heart mended
Or am I the fool
And has this love just ended
I tried to call
But you don't hear at all
I gotta keep on trying
To stop this love from dying
You've got to understand
That my heart is in your hand
Roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Is tearing me apart
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
Roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart
Tears me apart
Roses - blood red roses
You've got to understand
That's my heart in your hand
Roses
I'm sending blood red roses
'Cause this burning in my heart
Tears me apart

Top Uriah Heep, CIRCLE OF HANDS

Circle of hands, cold spirits' plan,
searching my land for an enemy.
Came across love's sweet cost
and in the face of beauty evil was lost.
Sky full of eyes. Minds full of lies.
Black from their cold hearts down to their graves.
Murder the dawn. Spreading their scorn.
Cursing the son of which love was born.
We must keep them away or pretty soon we'll pay
and count the cost in sorrow.
Sacrifice, the future has its price
and today is only yesterday's tomorrow.
We must keep them away or pretty soon we'll pay
and count the cost in sorrow.
Sacrifice, the future has its price
and today is only yesterday's tomorrow - tomorrow.
Tomorrow Tomorrow

Top Uriah Heep, CAN'T STOP SINGING

I can't stop singing
I can't see the end
Just a new beginning
As long as I keep on trying
I'll survive just fine
Free to take my time
Ridin' the moon in the midnight sky
I can see through
The man who lies with eyes
And the real thing that's wrong is
He has no song to lean on
So I'll take my time
Just to give you my rhyme
To try to be sure and open the door
'cause there's much more to life
Than a day and a night to dream on
Now I ain't confessin'
To same kind of blessin'
I'm trying to say
Why I'm happy today
I'm not preachin', teachin',
Makin' some speech in dedication
'cause it's no good me sayin'
Where the blame should be layin'
For with that kind of reason
It comes out the same
With an ear to the ground

Top Uriah Heep, CAN'T KEEP A GOOD BAD DOWN

I can't believe y'all are still sayin'
We're a long way from rock'n'roll
You won't look for the good
In the tunes we're playin'
Prefer to say we got no soul
But day after day in town after town
People say we're doin' alright
We play and we stay boogyin' down
And rockin' on into the night
It's breath and words
And time you're wastin'
When you should be tryin'
To have a good time
For a good few years
It's been yours we've tasted
So here's a little piece of our mind
We'll roll and we'll roll
And we'll roll and we'll roll
Till we run out of reason to try
If it happens you don't approve
It don't matter we won't ask why
You can't keep a good band down
You'll never find the solution
You won't stop us runnin' around
You're dealin' with an institution
We'll fill our cup with wine while you
Fill your head with high ideals
You know so much
But you still can't touch
Till you find out how it feels
It'll take much more
Than the high and mighty
To bring down the king of the road
We could still be friends
And quit this fightin'
And let the real story be told
You can't keep a good band down
You'll never find the solution
You won't stop us runnin' around

Top Uriah Heep, IF I HAD THE TIME

If I had the time,
To re-live my life
I don't think I'd care,
To change a thing
As long as I find,
Just a little peace of mind
I can dream and laugh and sing
I can have my fun,
With the silver stars
I can watch the sun,
Fall in the sea
And if it rains,
I will smile just the same
For the rain will make the flowers sing
I know how it is to feel sad
I know how it is when things go bad
But I'm sure that I have found the way
I'm happy here and here I'll stay whoa
Here I'll stay
If I had the time,
To re-live my life
I don't think I'd care,
To change a thing
As long as I find,
Just a little peace of mind

Top Uriah Heep, TOO SCARED TO RUN

Too scared I could not run
I could not make a sound
Lights were flashing
My whole life passing
My feet were stuck to the ground
Too light to call it night
Too dark to call it day
Too scared to stay and fight
Too scared to run away
So scared I could not move
I could not make a sound
There were people running
People shouting
Flashes all around
Too scared to run
Too scared to run away
Too scared I could not think
My eyes could not scarcely see
My heart was racing
My legs were shaking
They would not carry me
Lights were flashing
My whole life passing
My heart, my heart
My heart was racing
My legs were shaking

Top Uriah Heep, I'LL KEEP ON TRYING

You came to me with all of your lies
and I was taken in so well.
Took me quite a time to see the disguise,
you made it very hard to tell.
Now here you are again but you're beggin' in vain
cause I really don't want to know.
You came to me with a little bit of charm,
you had me down on my knees.
I didn't really think there was any harm,
but all you ever did was tease.
You took all the love that I ever had to give
and there was nothing left to show.
Well I remember everything,
everything around me.
The long dark winter till the breath of spring
came close enough to drown me.
So I'm gonna keep on trying - till I feel like dying
and I lay down and pass away.
But that wont happen till tomorrow - and by then I can borrow
another day. So I'm gonna keep on trying.
You came to me with a little bit of charm
and you had me down on my knees.
I didn't really think there was any harm,
but all you ever did was tease.
You took all the love that I ever had to give

Top Uriah Heep, Astranaza

Top Uriah Heep, I WANNA BE FREE

As I wake up everyday with no new songs to play
feeling like I aught to pack my bag and run.
My imagination flies to some other sunny skies
where I felt so good and everything was done.
And my time was my own.
And my heart felt so free.
Come On!
I don't mind a little rain, but it doesn't seem the same
when the clouds shut out your beauty from my eyes.
There's a storm inside my head and I know it doesn't leave
till I clear a day when nobody will cry.
I can't stand here alone
and I need to be free.
Free!
So bring fire and bring steel, for you know the way I feel.
Bring a silver horse to carry me away.
I'm no stranger, I'm a friend and my pain will never end
till the world will let us live out lives as one.
And our time is our own.
And our hearts can be free.
I wanna be free!
I wanna be free!
I wanna be free!
I wanna be free!

Top Uriah Heep, I WON'T MIND

I don't mind
If you steal my last dime
Just leave me anytime
And I'll get, get along fine
I don't really know why
But I know I'll get by
If I don't I'll die tryin'
If it rains again
I'm gonna fly to the sun
'Cause nothing gets done
Just sitting, sitting around
Look at the way it's been
Just waitin' and wonderin'
I've just got to keep trying
Looking for gold in the sky
Gets kinda rough
Maybe I'm to blame
â€˜Cause I didin't look hard enough
But I still get the feeling
That it shouldn't be so tough
So I won't mind, I, I won't mind
I won't mind, I, I won't mind
So I won't mind
I, No, I won't mind
I won't mind, I, said I won't mind

Top Uriah Heep, HOT PERSUASION

You know you light my candle
You knew you load my gun
You're way too hot to handle
There's nothing we ain't done
Give me your love
Give me that hot persuasion
I can't get enough
Give me that hot persuasion
Give it to me
Mouth full of hot persuasion
You face me upside down
A love for all occasions
You won't catch me foolin' around
Give me your love
Give me that hot persuasion
I can't, can't get enough
Give me that hot persuasion
Oh, I need to know you're near me
I need you by my side
You keep my tank on empty
You keep me up all night
Give me your love
Give me that hot persuasion
Oh no, can't get enough
Give me that hot persuasion
Give me your hot persuasion
I can't get enough, get enough

Top Uriah Heep, I HEAR VOICES

I feel the pressure
Pushing down on me
Can't face the world
Can't change the things I see
I got my hands in my pockets
Staring at the walls
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all
I hear voices in my head
They taunt me
Can't lock them out
Inside my thoughts
They breathe in me
I got my hands in my pockets
Screaming at the walls
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all
I've got to run to be free
Break the chains round my heart
Take away the pain and the joy
Release the man from the boy
Run to be free, run from the heart
Life will take you where it goes
You can offer me salvation
Feed me when I call
Don't talk to me of sanity
When I'm not quite here at all
I've touched the sun
I felt its warmth in me
So you will never take away my dignity
Cause I've got my hands in my pockets
Fighting for my cause
Can nobody help me
To escape from it all
Run to be free
Break the chains round my heart
Life will take you where it goes
Run to be free

Top Uriah Heep, BLOOD ON STONE

His blood's on stone
It's running down the frozen wall
His hand's so cold
He's trying not to fall
Oh, will he make it now
One slip and he's lost
It's his last chance for freedom
It's all that he's got
He feels good, so right
Hot sweat on a cold night
Breaking free into the wind
He's got nothing to lose, just win
He's just a runaway
He's free now and on his way
He's almost home
Just one push and
He'll take this wall
It's blood on stone
From trying not to fall
He's made it now
Where others have not
Just one last jump to freedom
Is all that he's got

Top Uriah Heep, MORE FOOL YOU

I held the rope so tightly
As she climbed
Down from her room
We said we'd make our getaway
Underneath the moon
I always will remember
The night that we left home
And the words of warning
Ringing in my ears
More fool you, more fool me ...
New job, new friends and a family
In a house on the sunny side
We played on the wheel of fortune
But it was me that took the ride
It didn't work between us
I had to give it all away
And in the end I knew it had to be
If I've told you once
Then I've told you twice
But I'll tell you once again
Now she's taken away
Most everything

Top Uriah Heep, MISTY EYES

I was missing my
Little miss misty eyes
She made my life complete
Id been waiting on
True loves sweet surprise
And it tasted so sweet
Oh it tasted so sweet
I could hear
The sound of the love bell
Told me all it could tell
And the sight of
The blue moon rising
Told me all was well
Told me all was well
I was just driftin
As a wind blown wave
Like a stricken ship
I thought I'd never be saved
So far below me
There seemed so much more
Yet a man has to know
What he's looking for
Something unknown
Kept my life turning around
But I couldnt get near to
Putting my feet on the ground
With all that I had
Any man would be glad
But my everything was nothing
So what made me sad
I was missing my
Little miss misty eyes
She made my life complete
I was waiting on
True loves sweet surprise
And it tasted so sweet
It tasted so sweet
Farewell to that same lonely road
Ive seen the last of
That heavy load
No more blues about paying dues
Its time for reaping

Top Uriah Heep, ON THE REBOUND

Top Uriah Heep, NO RETURN

Top Uriah Heep, NIGHT OF THE WOLF

Streets are full of rain
Lightning cracks the sky
Hear a lonely cry, eyes full of pain
Searchin in the darkness
Eyes pierce the night
Calling for her young one
As she walks towards the light
Its the night of the wolf
Hear the cry of the wolf
Streets paved with gold
Night gives out a warning
There's thunder in her heart
And mother wolf is calling
Searchin in the shadows
For the one she must save
She cries out a prayer
Like a song from beyond the grave
The bells will toll
No one will sleep tonight
While she alone will
Walk the streets tonight
Sun begins to rise
All the streets washed with rain
Still hear her cries
Eyes burnt with pain
Returning to the twilight
Betrayed by the night
Screaming for her young one

Top Uriah Heep, NAME OF THE GAME

Here comes trouble
In the shape of a lady
She started cool but now
Shes coming around daily
Shes got some big ideas
About being my baby
Its her game
With the name of love
Now she's sure pretty
That I have to confess
But no five-star fox is
Getting me in a mess
Lets buy a ring, she says
Lets go and get blessed
Its her game and she calls it love
Rock and roll rules my soul
Pushing everything and everyone
To one side
But when all grows old
Chills still cold
When I sing with my sweet guitar
When I sing with my sweet
My sweet guitar
Don't waste your tears on me
Go cry in the river
What you need I aint
About to deliver
Im my own man and
That's how Im gonna stay
Cause music is
The name of the game
Rock and roll rules my soul
Pushing everything and everyone
To one side
But when all grows old
The chills still cold
While I sing with my sweet guitar
While I sing with my sweet

Top Uriah Heep, SKOOLS BURNIN'

Top Uriah Heep, ECHOES IN THE DARK

I have heard the echoes in the dark
Dim and distant voices of the past
And I've seen so far into the night
And lingered in the land of no light.
Far beyond the shrouded hours of dawn
Through the mist of daybreak I was born
But the day was clouded still by night
Leaving me in the land of no light.
Though I'd love to
Say hello to you
You might have to wait a while to say
Goodbye
For it must end as it began
And then start again.
The day of darkness comes to every man
And lingers while he reaches out his hand
And he cannot know how it will end
Till he finds out if he has a friend...
A friend...
A friend...

Top Uriah Heep, MIRACLE CHILD

She got me to walk on water
I did what she said
She got me to steal the moonlight
Put it over her head
And after I moved the mountain
Which stood in the way
The answer was in the question
She asked me if I wanted to stay
All of my friends said it couldnt last
Id be another there in her past
But I disagree cause
I can't say say no, no, no, no
Save me, she's so hungry
Make a man do anything
I know, she gets hungry
Gets away like an innocent child
Save me, she's so hungry
Has the appetite to everything
I know, she's just hungry
Shes got the mind of a miracle child
And when I changed the seasons
And water to wine
I took all the wordly problems
And got the peace in our time
And after I built the temple
She wanted so bad
I took her to altar on sunday
To look at everything that we had
I could say no, but I always do
Someone outside
Would be comin through
And I can't stop her
I can't say no, no, no, no
Shes so hungry

Top Uriah Heep, Midnight

I just lay down wonderin'
What to lay down
Lately I can do it
Every day undisturbed
I think I know what
But I can't find out how
The morning didn't show me
What it was worth
Miles and miles of smiles
Getting me nowhere
Opportunities I just can see
Can't lead me to the slaughter
â€˜Cause I'll already be there
I've been up that street
And I know what's waiting for me
Just waiting
Midnight, moonlight
Day into day
No escape I must stay
Midnight, show me the way
Show me the way
Give me something to play
Something to play
To help me make the new day
Take me out of the darkness
Into the light
I've no friends to stand by me
Here in the night
It's an affair of
A sad and weary heart
Take me out of the darkness
Back to the start
I just lay down wonderin'
What to lay down
Lately I can do it
Every day undisturbed
I think I know what
But I just can't find out how
The morning didn't show me
What it was worth

Top Uriah Heep, Easy Livin'

(Hensley)
This is a thing I've never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've never seen before
And I've been forgiven
Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find ya
Day after day on the windy road I had walked behind ya
Easy livin and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away
Dreaming, thinking
Ready for my happy day
And some easy livin'!
Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find you
Day after day on the windy road I had walked behind you
Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place in my heart
Easy livin' and I've been forgiven
