Uriah Heep Album

I see you running
Don't know what
You're running from
Nobody's coming
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 you’re frightened of

You've got a friend, just
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself

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.
(Repeat and Fade)

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

Oh, I want my qypsy queen
Will she still be torn between
Her father and lover
One day I will go to him
Strong enough to fight and win
The kind of a man
That he'll understand

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

Take me across the water
‘Cause I need some place to hide
I done the rancher’s daughter
And I sure did hurt his pride

Well, there's a
Hundred miles of desert
Lies between his hide and mine
I don't need no food
And no water, Lord
‘Cos I'm running out of time

Fightin', killin', wine and women
Gonna put me to my grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'
Nothing left to save but my life

Stood on a ridge
And shunned religion
Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
LyricsStealin', when I
Should've been buyin'

All that fightin', killin'
Wine and those women
Gonna put me to an early grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'
Nothing left to save but my life, life...

So I stood on a ridge
And shunned religion
Thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake
Stealin', when I
Should've been buyin'
I was stealin’
When I should’ve been buyin’
I was stealin’
When I should’ve been buyin’
Stealin’, when I
Should’ve been buyin’ ..
I was stealin’ ...

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

I wish you'd stop andGive a helping handFor I guess I'm only half a manI feel the only way for me to leaveIs just to give youEverything I can give
¡®cause without you, without youWhat can I do
I will give you all the love I haveJust to know you stop meBeing so sadI hope you won't thinkSo badly of me¡®cause I had to tell youThis could break myself in

Being helpless is a habit of mineNo one else can understandYou are the one toHelp me to surviveIf you're any friend of mine
Yesterday you gave a helping handTo some one you'llNever understandThough I tried to tell you of this wayYou said I had nothingConstructive to say
But without you, without youWhat can I do ...

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

The day I first met my love

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 …

Can you understand
That in every man
There's a need to unwind
LyricsThat'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 just our return to fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy …

Travelling 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
Why don't you come to our party
And open your 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

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
In five different ways

See the blind man
At the dead of night
He can see, so he won't fight
Running scared like a swan in flight
On and on, looking for delight

But it's you, he'll hear you running
As this blind man tells the blind

See the children in the jungle zone
Black man woken
Till your work is done


He can't hide
There's nowhere to run
Waiting for salvation to come

And it's you, coming from far
Got a lonely mind to sell

Crime of passion, crime of pain
How long before I see you again
I've been free and I've been high
Got a soul, never ask my why

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 ...

Love, love, love
I'm looking for love
Love, love, love

When I was only sixteen
Well, give it take a year or more
I've got to singing about
The life I've lead
And I threw it right out of the door

I've got to get some of
That heavy jive
That the old folks are talkin' about
So I strutted my stuff
To the local club
To see what I was leaving now

Looking for love, love, love
Looking, looking for love
Love, love, love

I took my seat at
The foot of the stage
And waited for the fun to begin
And there in the light


Stood this heavy chick
With the cutest babe
That I've ever seen

She smiled at me
She did her dance
Took me by surprise
The way she wiggled her hips
And she shook that ...
Right between the eyes

After the show she came
And sat down
Said: hi son, what's your name?
I said: never mind that
Think about this:
Loving's the name of my game

She said: that's alright
But it'll cost you, son
I said: tell me what's
The price of the day
She said: twenty dime
And a wedding ring
And everything will be o.k.

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

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

She's got an eye on you
There's nowhere to hide
She keeps her motives still
Deep down inside
She shows no mercy, no
She plays it rough
She don't want no money
She just wants to love

Love stealer, raw dealer
Heart breaker, love taker
Yeah yeah ...

She walks in the shadows
As she waits for the night


She gets what she's looking for
She knows how to fight
If you see her coming
Then you'd better know
If your love's for the taking
She'll steal the show

She just can't go round there first
Facing the joint
Then she'll move in
And get right to the point
So keep your love locked away
Don't let it show
Or the love stealer will rock you
For more than you'll know

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

Why don't you think about it, babe

I was waiting for somebody
This afternoon
Hope that she remembered
Our rendezvouz
And when she didn't show
Just like yesterday
I do the last, I'll find another way

One night I saw the stranger
Across the hall
I knew he was the reason
Why she didn't call
I wish I had imagined
Or dreamt the lot
But the heart didn't choose
The pain I've got

Now she' turning me inside out
Upside down
And me heart is all a roundabout
Spinnin' round


She's turnin' me inside out
Inside out
She's turnin' me inside out
Inside out

Now he's got all so melt
With a diamond ring
And she was thinking through
Almost anything
She's like a shadow going up
Seventh avenue
But so what, she's only going
Where she's didn't to

I just got one thing to say
Just before I go
Since he was the offender
I want her to know
Now my mind has got me the day
I'm watching to
I'll never raise a thought
Of what she'd done

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
Smile smelting 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 don't need no aggrevation
I just got to make you
I just got to make you understand

I just wan't some reaction
Someone to give me satisfaction
I love you

He's the son of the bitch
He's the son of a fool
Sign of the times
No exception he's the rule
He's down on his luck
He's down on his knees
Cut really deep
He knows how to bleed

He's the son of the dog
You'll see him run with the pack
He won't look you in the eyes
He'll stab you in the back
The son of the dog
Only runs with the pack
He'll take your life
He won't look back

Son of a - he's a son of a bitch
He's a son of a -
He's a son of a bitch

Hear the woman of the streets
She never learned how to cry
She'll spread her wings
She'll never fly
Woman of the night
She hangs like a bat
She'll scratch at your eyes
Fight like a cat


Hear the lost, hear the lonely
Hear the fool, that won't get to see
Hear the lost, hear the lonely
And don't, don't pity me

Son of the bitch
He's a son of a -
Oh, the son of a bitch

He's the son of the poor
The son of the rich
The son of the dog
The son of the bitch
Woman of the night
Hangs like a bat
She'll scratch at your eyes
She fights like a cat

He's the son of the bitch
He's the son of a fool
A sign of the times
No exception he's the rule
Down on his luck
Down on his knees
Cut really deep
So he knows how to bleed

He's a sign of the times
He's the son of a -
Son of a ... bitch
The son of a bitch

Travel down the road of heartache
Hear an echo in my mind
I've played with fire
Burned my fingers
Now I'm gonna take my time
You don't have to shout about it
Can't you see it obvious
Feel (? ) it's getting close to comfort
Why you makin' such a fuss?

Take your time with
What you're doin'
And you'll see the skies appear
Seen and heard it all before her
Now you understand my fear
Can't you see the time will tell us
How it's gonna always be
You can wrap me
Around your finger
And I ain't no mystery

Playing for time
That's all I can do
I'm playing for time
Before I fall in love with you

You can push me every which way
Hey I got no place to fall
Guess you're gonna rue your bullshit
When your back's against the wall
Louder now that's what the games go(? ? ? ? )


And I bought the devil now(? ? ? )
You can get to dream about it
I won't need one anyhow

Playing for time
That's all I can do
Playing for time
Before I fall in love
Playing for time
That's all I wanna do
Playing for time
Before I fall in love

Oh, you don't have to shout about it
Can't you see it obvious
Feel it's getting close for comfort
Why you making such a fuss?
Travel down the road of heartache
Hear an echo my mind
Played with fire, burned my fingers
Now I'm gonna take my time

Playing for time
Before I fall in love with you
Playing for time
That's all I want to do
Playing for time
Before I fall
Playing for time
All I wanna do
Playing for time ...
