Look At Yourself
Single: Look at Yourself/Simon The Bullet Freak
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

Simon The Bullet Freak
Single: Look at Yourself/Simon The Bullet Freak
Ken Hensley

Freed of empty faces
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

Land of hopeless speaking
Bringing back the moon
Don't play your silly games with me
Oh, war of wasted daydream
What is your need
I'm gonna bleed until you kill me

You've lost all sight of your direction
You're only looking for the next one
The next one to kill

Ashes of destruction
Spread out so far
Blackened others 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

Gypsy
Single: The Wizard/Gypsy
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 ...

Why
Single: The Wizard/Why
Mick Box /David Byron /Paul Newton /Ken Hensley

Thought of no tomorrow
The pain, tears and sorrow
And you never told me why
The way you cheated
And mistreated
You could never tell me why

But I'm gonna find out
I'm gonna find out
What's been messing up your mind
Messing up your mind

Is there any true reason
Or anything I can explain
Can't we talk about it baby
Get together again
You see I have the feeling
That this isn't the end
And I feel it knowing
On you I depend

I'm gonna find out
Yeah, I'm gonna find out 
What has been
Messing up your mind

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

Stealin'
Single: Stealin/Sunshine
Ken Hensley

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
Stealin', 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' ...

Sunshine
Single: Stealin/Sunshine
Gary Thain /Mick Box

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

What Can I Do
Single: Something Or Nothing/What Can I Do
Mick Box /David Byron /Lee Kerslake

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

‘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
‘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 ...

Shout It Out
Single: Prima Donna/Shout It Out
Ken Hensley

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

Return To Fantasy
Single: Return To Fantasy/The Time Will Come (Germany)
Ken Hensley /David Byron

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
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 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

The Time Will Come
Single: Return To Fantasy/The Time Will Come (Germany)
Mick Box /David Byron /Ken Hensley /Lee Kerslake

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

Crime Of Passion
Single: Wise Man/Crime Of Passion
Ken Hensley /Mck Box /Lee Kerslake

Oh yeah!
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

Masquerade
Single: Free Me/Masquerade
Ken Hensley

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 ...

Gimme Love
Single: b-side 1978
Trevor Bolder / Mick Box / Lee Kerslake / John Lawton

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
Single: Come Back To Me/Cheater
Ken Hensley

Cheater, I know where you've been
Cheater, your lies can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I've 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've 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've know
Cheater, I guess it's time for you to go

Cheater. I know where you've been
Cheater, you're a cheater
Cheater, you're a cheater
Cheater, I know where you've been
Your lies can't hide your sins
Cheater ...

Been Hurt
Sigle: Carry On/Been Hurt
Ken Hensley

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 try 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

Love Stealer
Single: Love Stealer/No Return
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

Think It Over
Single: Think It Over/My Joanna Needs Tunning
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  ...

My Joanna Needs Tuning
Single: Think It Over/My Joanna Needs Tunning
John Sloman /Trevor Bolder /Mick Box /Gregg Dechert /Chris Slade

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

Tin Soldier
(Abominog EP)
Steve Marriott /Ronnie Lane

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

Son Of A Bitch
(Abominog EP)
Mick Box /Bob Daisley /Peter Goalby /Lee Kerslake /John Sinclair

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

Hes the son of the dog
Youll see him run with the pack
He wont look you in the eyes
Hell stab you in the back
The son of the dog
Only runs with the pack
Hell take your life
He wont look back

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

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

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

Son of the bitch
Hes a son of a -
Oh, the son of a bitch

Hes 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
Shell scratch at your eyes
She fights like a cat

Hes the son of the bitch
Hes 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

Hes a sign of the times
Hes the son of a -
Son of a ... bitch
The son of a bitch

Playing For Time
Single: Stay On Top/Playing For Time
Mick Box /Bob Daisley /Peter Goalby /John Sinclair

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 ...
