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

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

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!

Woman Of The Night
Mick Box /John Lawton /Lee Kerslake

John Lawton - Lead Vocals

Lee Kerslake - Drums

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

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

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 ...

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

Illusion

John Lawton - Lead Vocals

Lee Kerslake - Drums

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

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
Come and save me
 
Voice On My TV

Lee Kerslake - Drums

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

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

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

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'

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 ...
