Easy Livin'
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'

Look At Yourself
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
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 ...

Free Me
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
 
Stealin'
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’ ...

The Wizard
Ken Hensley /Mark Clarke

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
 
July Morning
David Byron /Ken Hensley

There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

At the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
And a road of my own

With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la...

I was looking for love
In the strangest places
Wasn't a stone
That I left unturned
Must have tried more
Than a thousand faces
But not one was aware
Of the fire that burned

In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
La la la la ...

There I was on a July morning
I was looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

And at the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
Yeah, and a road of my own
 
Fallin' In Love
Ken Hensley

Falling keep on falling
Keep on falling love

Now I don't mind
All this running around
Seems I've been doing it
Most of my life
My music's been kind
But some days I find
It brings me two kinds of trouble
And three kinds of strife

So don't try to compare it
'Cause I just want to
Share it with some people
I like to call friends
There ain't nothing bad and
No need to feel sad
And there's certainly no need
To make amends

It won't do you no harm and
There's no cause for alarm
I won't be praying for
Help from above
If the only thing
Wrong with rock and roll
Is that I keep on falling in love

If the only thing
Wrong with rock and roll
Is that I keep on falling
Keep on falling
Keep on falling in love
 
Woman Of The Night
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
 
I'm Alive
John Lawton

How strange when
You know the feeling
That something ain't right
You're fooled by the need of being
You're blind to the light
Don't ask where
The stranger leads you
He'll show you the way
Just go out and make your conquest
You've something to say

I'm alive, I'm alive and I'm me
I've just got to be free
I'm alive to the world

There's been so much
Bad time wasted
Just look and you'll see
We've got so much going for us
It's not just a dream
Let's look and we'll find the answers
To questions I've made
We'll reach out for new beginnings
Let love show the way

Let's leave our past behind
The love can make us blind
But now we know
That we're alive
 
Who Needs Me
Lee Kerslake

Don't take life for granted
'Cause you know that
Life won't grant you back
The feelings on the love
That you once had

You've taken me for granted
'Cause you know
I'm a lover just like you
And I'll do anything
You want me to

Who needs me?
Who needs me now?
You'll find someone
How you'll find one
Who needs me?
Who needs me now?
You'll find another but no better

You can't argue with me now
I needed you and
You did not know how

Don't let go of something
That is good when
I'll tell you it's bad
Let 'em hear the story
Make 'em sad

And if the price of love
Can cost you less than
When it first began
I guess that you won't
Find a better man

Who needs me ...

Sweet Lorraine
Mick Box /David Byron /Gary Thain

Would you like to take
This magic potion with me
On a trip to a cosmic
Playground far beyond
She understands
She's been before
It's in her hands
To find the door

Sweet Lorraine
Let the party carry on
You and I will swim the sea
Sweet Lorraine
Let the party carry on
You and I can feel the breeze

There is no time, no wealth
Only I surround you
The fortune of this guide
Is simply sincerity
She understands
‘Cos she's been before
It's in her hands
To find the door, so
 
Free'n Easy
John Lawton /Mick Box

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
 
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
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
 
Cheat'n Lie
Ken Hensley

Well, it seems to me
That I've been cheated
And it would appear
That I've been lied to
All the promises
That you repeated
Were never destined
To come true

When I stop to think
How I once trusted you
It's harder still
To bear this doubt
I'm a innocent victim of
Heartbreaking circumstance
And I still can't get it figured out

'Cos all you did was cheat and lie
Now you're gone and
Made me cry
When my heart is heavy and
I just can't get it straight
Just the way you made me feel
A wound that only time can heal
Won't you take a little time
To show me my mistake

'Cos all you did was cheat and lie
Now you're gone and
Made me cry
When my heart is heavy and
I just can't get it straight
Just the way you made me feel
A wound that only time can heal
Won't you take a little time
You know you gotta
Show me my mistake
 
One More Night
Ken Hensley

One more night ...

City lights are
Burning in the distance
Seems they're tellin' me
To hurry home
But I can't push these
Wheels of mine no harder
So hold on baby for
One more night alone

There's time for me to take just
One look over my shoulder
One last glance at
What's been going on
'Cause I'll be there at
First light in the morning
We'll pick up the pieces
And baby, then we'll be long gone

Pick up the pieces and run with me
As fast as you can
You know you always said
I was the man
Pick up the pieces, let's do it now
Let's say our last farewell
Tomorrow may be too late
As far as I can tell
