The Hanging Tree
Album: Firefly (1977)
Ken Hensley /Jack Williams

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

Firefly
Album: Firefly (1977)
Ken Hensley

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!
No, now you're mine!

Wise Man
Album: Firefly (1977)
Ken Hensley

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 donÍt 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
And be a wise man too

Free 'N' Easy
Album: Innocent Victim (1977)
Mick Box /John Lawton

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
I'm gonna be free and easy 

Illusion
Album: Innocent Victim (1977)
Ken Hensley

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
It's only an illusion

Free Me
Album: Innocent Victim (1977)
Ken Hensley

Free me, free me
Why won't you free me
Free me from your spell
Come on and free me
Why won't you free me
Come on and free me
Free me from your spell

Why should I worry
That you might not love me
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 awhile
But sooner or later
I know that I'll forget you
And I tell you babe

Free me
Come on and free me
Why won't you free me
Free me from your spell
Oh babe, free me
Why won't you free me
Come on and free me
Free me from your spell

We let a good love die
We let it pass us by
Though you tried to
Keep me hangin' on
But with all this doubt
It'll never work out
So tomorrow I'll be travellin' on
And saying:

So long, easy rider
I know I'll miss you for awhile
But sooner or later
I know that I'll forget you
And I beg it babe

Free me
Come on and free me
Why won't you free me
Free me from your spell
Come on and free me
I'm on my knees, babe
Free me
Why won't you free me
Free me from your spell

Oh babe, come on
Come on and free me
Why won't you free me
Free me from this spell

Come Back To Me
Album: Fallen Angel (1978)
Lee Kerslake /Ken Hensley

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

Everything I had has gone
Everything is gone
Loneliness still lingering on
Everything 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 you, I just love you

Alone again, I'm so alone again
With nothing but you on my mind
Can't you see
What you've done to my life
What can I do to
To win you back again

Everything I had has gone
Everything is gone
Loneliness still lingering on
Everything 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
Come back to me
Baby come back to me
Don't you know that I love you
Come back to me

Love Or Nothing
Album: Fallen Angel (1978)
Ken Hensley

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 gotta be love or nothing at all

It's gotta be love or nothing at all

I've thought about a new beginning
But you know your heart's not in it
There's something inside
That ain't hearing my call
And each new misty morning
Brings a constant warning
It's gotta be love or nothing at all

It's gotta be love

You give me your love
Or nothing at all
You give me your love

It's no good climbing
In the back seat
In the name of love
Or tryin' to be somebody
That you know you're not
Sneakin' out the back door
At the dead of night
'Cause you're never gonna find out
What it's really like

Fallen Angel
Album: Fallen Angel (1978)
Ken Hensley

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
I'm your real treasure

Woman Of The Night
Album: Fallen Angel (1978)
Mick Box /John Lawton /Lee Kerslake

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
Some night the evil get to you

Carry On
Album: Conquest (1980)
Ken Hensley

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 
But carry on

Feelings
Album: Conquest (1980)
Ken Hensley

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

Feelings, empty feelings
Prayin', hopin', needin'
Just when I wanted to hold you
You're leavin', you're leavin'
Leavin', you're leavin'

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

Feelings, empty feelings
Prayin', hopin', needin'
Just when I wanted to hold you
You're leavin', you're leavin'
Leavin', you're leavin'

Feelings, empty feelings
Prayin', hopin', needin'
Just when I wanted to hold you
You're leavin', you're leavin'
Leavin', you're leavin'

Think It Over
Album: Abominog (1982)
John Sloman /Trevor Bolder

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

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

Well, think it over, babe

Think it over ...
Think it over ...
Think it over ...
Think it over ...

Love Stealer
Album: Conquest (1980) (out-take) (single a-side)
Phil Wainman /Trevor Bolder

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 ...

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

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

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

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

On The Rebound
Album: Abominog (1982)
Russ Ballard

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 

That's The Way That It Is
Album: Abominog (1982)
Paul Bliss

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

Hot Persuasion
Album: Abominog (1982)
Mick Box /Bob Daisley /Peter Goalby /Lee Kerslake /John Sinclair

You know you light my candle
You know 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' aroung

Give me your love
Give me that hot persuasion
I can't, can't get enough
Give me that hot persuasion

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, can't get enough
Give me that hot persuasion

Give me your hot persuasion
I can't get enough, get enough
I've done hot persuasion

Stay On Top
Album: Head First (1983)
T. Jackson

Everybody got somebody
trying to make you feel real bad
Ain't none of their business
Talking behind your back
Be strong in yourself
Stand up - walk away
Nobody gives a damn for a 
Single thing you say

I'm singing
Stay on top - never go under
Lightning strikes
Before you hear the thunder
Stay on top - never go under
Hold on tight
Here comes the thunder

Hide money in your pocket
Be nobody's fool
Always think of number one
That's my golden rule
Take care of business
Go for it with the best
Be strong enough to take it
Ain't no need to rest

I'm singing
Stay on top - never go under
Lightning strikes
Before you hear the thunder
Stay on top - never go under
Hold on tight
Watch out for  the thunder

Bad times make you cry
But the good times get you high

I can't stand it
I can't stand it no more

Somebody, everybody
trying to make you feel real bad
Aint' nobody's business
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
Stay on top

Lonely Nights
Album: Head First (1983)
Adams /Vallance

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
Come and save me

The Other Side Of Midnight
Album: Head First (1983)
Mick Box /Bob Daisley /Peter Goalby /Lee Kerslake /John Sinclair

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
I'll be callin'
The other side of midnight
Knock, knockin'
The other side of midnight

I'm gonna take you
I'm gonna make you
At midnight, at midnight

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
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
Knockin' at midnight

Weekend Warriors
Album: Head First (1983)
Mick Box /Bob Daisley /Peter Goalby /John Sinclair /Lee Kerslake

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

Weekend warriors ... 

Easy Livin'
Album: Demons And Wizards (1972)
Ken Hensley

This is a thing I have
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 you
Day after day on that windy road
I had walked behind you

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'

The Wizard
Album: Demons And Wizards (1972)
Mark Clarke /Ken Hensley

He was the wizard
Of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him
One night wandering
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'd find
We're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy
Everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life
The 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 a million silver stars
That guide me with their light

Gypsy
Album: Very 'Eavy ... Very 'Umble ... (1970)
Mick Box /David Byron

I was only seventeen
I fell in love with a gypsy queen
She told me: "Hold on"
Her father was the leading man
He 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 gypsy 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 ...

Hold Your Head Up
Album: Raging Silence (1989)
Argent /White

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 ...

Blood Red Roses
Album: Raging Silence (1989)
Peter Goalby

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 

Voice On My TV
Album: Raging Silence (1989)
Mick Box /Phil Lanzon

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

This is your conscience speaking

Cry Freedom
Album: Raging Silence (1989)
Mick Box /Phil Lanzon

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 ...

When The War Is Over
Album: Raging Silence (1989)
Prestwich

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 ...

Blood On Stone
Album: Different World (1991)
Trevor Bolder

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

Different World
Album: Different World (1991)
Mick Box /Phil Lanzon

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 it's
Gonna break your heart
And I know it's
Gonna break your heart

I'm living in a different world
And as I slip away
I see you fade to black and white
I'm living in a different world
With all my hopes and dreams
I drift off in the night

I'm alone but I'm not lonely
I found something that I never had
Laying back in the easy chair
Is not the life for me
You think I'm your one and only
But you gamble with a restless man
In the end I've found the way
That we can both be free

I'm living in a different world
And as I slip away
I see you fade to black and white
I'm living in a different world
With all my hopes and dreams
I disappear into the night

I'm living in a different world
And as I slip away
I see you fade to black and white
I'm living in a different world
With all my hopes and dreams
I'm living in a different world
And as I slip away
I'm living in a different world
With all my hopes and dreams

I disappear into the night

All God's Children
Album: Different World (1991)
Mick Box /Phil Lanzon

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

They walk and talk like angels ...

Which Way Will The Wind Blow
Album: Different World (1991)
Trevor Bolder

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
Before it's too late to be said

Look At Yourself
Album: Look at Yourself (1971)
Ken Hensley

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

Lady In Black
Album: Salisbury (1971)
Ken Hensley

She came to me one morning
One lonely Sunday morning
Her long hair flowing
In the midwinter 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
Ah ah ah ...

She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers
Without thought of love 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
Ah ah ah ...

But she wouldn't think of battle that
Reduces men to animals
So easy to begin
And yet impossible to end
For she’s the mother of our men
Who counselled me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay 
Ah ah ah ...

Oh lady lend your hand outright
And let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust
In peace she said
And filled my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers
Have no such misconception
But when you need me
Be assured I won't be far away
Ah ah ah ...

Thus having spoke she turned away
And though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw 
Her black coat disappear
My labour 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
Take courage from her
As your prize
And say hello from me
Ah ah ah ...
