Too Scared to Run Album: Abominog (March 1982) Mick Box /Bob Daisley /Peter Goalby /Lee Kerslake /John Sinclair Peter Goalby - Lead Vocals Mick Box - Lead Guitars John Sinclair - Keyboards Bob Daisley - Bass Lee Kerslake - Drums 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 Could not see, I could not see Chasing Shadows Album: Abominog (March 1982) Mick Box /Bob Daisley /Peter Goalby /Lee Kerslake /John Sinclair Peter Goalby - Lead Vocals Mick Box - Lead Guitars John Sinclair - Keyboards Bob Daisley - Bass Lee Kerslake - Drums 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 Shadows in the night On The Rebound Album: Abominog (March 1982) Cover of Russ Ballard 1979 Russ Ballard Peter Goalby - Lead Vocals Mick Box - Lead Guitars John Sinclair - Keyboards Bob Daisley - Bass Lee Kerslake - Drums 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 ...
