VERY ‘EAVY … VERY COME AWAY MELINDA So baby, when you went away ‘UMBLE / URIAH HEEP That unlucky day last September Daddy, daddy, come and look I was like a little lost boy 1970 See what I have found In the wilderness A little ways away from here Baby baby baby ... While digging in the ground When you went away I was like a little lost boy GYPSY Come away Melinda In the wilderness Come in and close the door I was only seventeen It's nothing, just a picture-book And I’ve just been sitting here I fell in love with a gypsy queen They had before the war Thinking of everybody I’ve ever known She told me: ”Hold on” Well, you know I still love you the best Her father was the leading man Daddy, daddy, come and see Yeah, the best Said: ”You’re not welcome on our land” Daddy, come and look And then as a foe, he told me to go Why, there's four or five Little Melinda girls He took me to a little shack Inside my picture book DREAMMARE And put a whip across my back Then told her: ”Leave me” Come away Melinda Grinning demons, smiling sideways I was out for quite a time Come in and close the door Laughing in my face Came back with her on my mind There were lots of little girls like you Here within my troubled sleep Sweet little girl, she means all the world Before they had the war There’s such a lonely place Running fast but never moving Oh, I want my qypsy queen Oh Daddy, daddy, come and see I can’t get away Will she still be torn between Daddy, hurry do Strange but realistic objects Her father and lover Why, there's someone in a pretty dress Making me their prey One day I will go to him She's all grown up like you Strong enough to fight and win Won't you tell me why Then it’s gone as fast as it came The kind of a man that he’ll understand Evil dream Come away Melinda Changing like the sun turn to rain Come in and close the door It would seem That someone is your Mummy WALKING IN YOUR You had before the war La la la la la … SHADOW Daddy, daddy, tell me if you can Dining with the gods of beauty
Why can't things be the way they were On a distant shore I’m walking in your shadow Before the war began Tasting fruits of untold sweetness Ever since you went away Never seen before And the clock on the wall Come away Melinda Dancing stars with crystal voices Really hasn’t very much to say Come in and close the door Beckon with their eyes Oh, you left me bleeding The answer lies in yesterday Unicorn of many colours And left me needing you Before they had the war Rides to paradise
In so very many ways Then it’s gone as fast as it came I was trying to attract your mind Peaceful scene But I’m the lonely one Changing like the sun turns to rain ‘Cause I’ve had to leave it all behind LUCY BLUES It would seem
Lied and deceiving Not included on the North American La la la la la … Why should I be grieving you versions of the first album.
Sleepless nights that last a lifetime Ride on a golden wave Well, the very first time Crucify my head Set sail for the sun I saw you darling Dreams of peace and then disaster Make every cloud your slave Not one single word Wish that I were dead Don’t be alone Would come to my lips Looking for the end of darkness
Seeking out the day When I get back from my trip Yes, the very first time For escape with speed unthought of Of the ocean wide I saw you darling Bearing me away Still walking in your shadow Not one single word
And still looking for Would come to my lips Then it’s gone as fast as it came Somewhere to hide Peaceful scene You see, I was so afraid Changing like the sun turns to rain If I am worse off You wouldn’t love me It would seem It’s all because of you I wanna tell you right now
It’s all because of you I was frightened right down Come into my dream To my fingertips

REAL TURNED ON WAKE UP (Set Your Sights) SALISBURY 1971
Girl, before you go now Wake up, set your sights There’s one thing I wanted to do For never shall we fail That’s get you to come back Stand up for your rights BIRD OF PREY Because I wanna make love to you And justice will prevail Included on the North American versions Got me real turned on You’re listening through endless nights of the first album replacing ‘Lucy Blues’, Yes, you have And decision is your goal elsewhere in the world on SALISBURY. So wake up, set your sights But there’s something in your eyes Oh, the time is right for your role I can see that look that says beware Telling me you have to go Yeah, for your role Try to move in closer if you dare Something in your eyes So I must sit and play my waiting game But you’re trying not to let it show Wake up, wake up, wake up And for a while I know Set your sights She’ll do the same Got me real turned on Never, never, never shall we fail Fly away Stand up, stand up, stand up Next time you come over For your rights Watches like an eagle from its eyrie I’ll buy you a bottle of wine Justice, justice, justice will prevail And like a bird of prey she captures me Just take a little drink But I am older and more wise than you And everything will turn out fine There in the morning Bird of prey, straight into me you flew Yes, it will Flying over the hills Fly away While men are yawning Whoa baby, do you know They are crushed by our wills Now every time I tried to set her free What I’ve got in mind Never have I witnessed people in fear I’m glad to say she comes Can you guess what it is Not like today, not in many a year Right back to me Or do you want it on the line But if I knew she didn’t want to stay Go kill another I wouldn’t try to keep that Got me real turned There are more close behind Lovely bird of prey Got me real turned ”No” screams a mother Got me real turned ”Are you out of your mind” Got me real turned on Though they are shattered They just don’t seem to yield Bodies are scattered THE PARK
In all parts of the field Let me walk a while alone
I’LL KEEP ON TRYING Among the sacred rocks and stones Oh no, did I tell you Let me look in vain belief What would happen if you tried You came to me with all of your lies Upon the beauty of each leaf ”Oh god, stop this killing!” And I was taken in so well Said a young man before he died It took me quite a time There is green in every blade
To see the disguise The tree tops lean providing shade
You made it very hard to tell Maypoles spin in happy sound
Now here you are again All nature’s strength around But you’re begging in vain BIRD OF PREY (original ‘Cause I really don’t want to know version) And there’s a horse that feels no pain Its iron strength to take the strain You came to me B-side of ‘Gypsy’ single in Europe, Children rock it to and fro With a little bit of charm appeared also on North American And gaily drink its colour-glow You had me down on my knees versions of the first album. I didn’t really think there was any harm Above, the sky, devoid of cloud But all you ever did was tease I can see that look that says beware Thinks not to cast a thunder shroud You took all the love Try to move in closer if you dare Upon this place so full of joy That I ever had to give So I will sit and play my waiting game A field of gold of loves employ There was nothing left to show And for a while I know She’ll do the same So, why my heavy heart? You say Well, I remember everything Oh no! When tears would stain the sights so gay Everything around me My brother’s dreams once here did soar The long dark of winter Watches like an eagle from its tree Until he died at the hand of needless war Till the breath of spring And like a bird of prey she captures me Came close enough to drown me But I am older and more wise than you Bird of prey, straight into me you flew So I’m gonna keep on trying Oh no! Till I feel like dying TIME TO LIVE
And I lay down and pass away Now every time I tried to set her free Let me see the sunshine But that won’t happen till tomorrow I’m glad to say she comes Let me feel the rain And by then I can borrow another day Right back to me Let me go where I wanna go So I’m gonna keep on trying But if I knew she didn’t want to stay I wanna smell the flowers
I wouldn’t try to keep that See the dawn again
Lovely bird of prey Find those friends I used to know

Well, I spent twenty long years Thus having spoke she turned away I feel a power here In a dirty old prison cell And though I found no words to say I never felt before I never saw the light of day I stood and watched until I saw And I begin to see If you could understand Her black coat disappear What drives us to want more Oh, that kind of living hell My labour is no easier Oh, girl of all my dreams That’s the price I have to pay But now I know I'm not alone Please tell me if I’m wrong That’s the price I have to pay I find new heart each time Because I’ve been blue I think upon that windy day But we belong They say I killed a man But I never told them why And if one day she comes to you As time passed and all too fast So you can guess Drink deeply from her words so wise I just knew we couldn’t last What I’ve been through Take courage from her as your prize And I guessed that the end So for twenty long years And say hello from me Was near at hand I’ve been thinking of that other guy Ah ah ah … Though we tried our love inside And what I saw him do to you It just crumpled up and died What I saw him do to you What went wrong I will never understand Listen here HIGH PRIESTESS So if tomorrow comes You tell me why And I walk outside that door You, who brought Alone again Try to understand the strain The sunshine to my eyes How could you leave me alone again But if you smile that smile You, who wondered I don’t want to be alone again I know I couldn’t ask for more Through my sad disguise I know I’d do it all again, yes I would And I have a love There’s a line in a rhyme I know I’d do it all again That cannot die ... for you I was going to send to you It says: ”All that is to be will surely be” High priestess of my heart So oh, though you had to go Tell me that we won’t part ‘Cause you needed someone new LADY IN BLACK Is there still a chance Then let’s get together in the sky That you’ll come back to me She came to me one morning To leave the lonely world I want you back you see One lonely Sunday morning To wonder why Her long hair flowing For we have a love Alone again In the midwinter wind We can’t denie ... so true How could you leave me alone again I know not how she found me How could you leave me alone again For in darkness I was walking I don’t wanna be alone again And destruction lay around me From a fight I could not win SALISBURY Somewhere in your eyes That very special glow Ah ah ah … Something drawing me Somewhere in your eyes To where I do not know She asked me name my foe then That very special glow I never really thought I said the need within some men Something drawing me That I would lose myself To fight and kill their brothers To where I do not know But now I’m going faster Without thought of love or God I never really thought Than anybody else And I begged her give me horses That I would lose myself
To trample down my enemies Now I’m going faster You move without a sound So eager was my passion Than anybody else And touch me with your hand To devour this waste of life Just like the waves that fondle Ah ah ah … You move without a sound Every little grain of sand And touch me with your hand This thing we’re gonna do But she wouldn't think of battle that Just like the rain that fondles It’s just for you and me Reduces men to animals Every grain of sand And I’m gonna make it good So easy to begin This thing we’re gonna do Just you wait and see And yet impossible to end It’s just for you and me
For she’s the mother of all men I’m gonna make it good
Who counselled me so wisely then Good as it can be
I feared to walk alone again And asked if she would stay Your kiss is sweeter now ADDITIONAL SONGS: Ah ah ah … Your breath is getting warm We must take our time Oh lady lend your hand outright And last it through til dawn And let me rest here at your side I wonder will it be SIMON THE BULLET Have faith and trust in peace, she said Oh, I expect it to FREAK And filled my heart with life There have been other girls There is no strength in numbers No-one else like you Included on North American versions of Have no such misconception SALISBURY replacing ‘Bird Of Prey’, But when you need me elsewhere in the world released as a Be assured I won't be far away single b-side.

Than a thousand faces
I sit in my sunny chair But not one was aware With my head held low I WANNA BE FREE Of the fire that burned I know the reason I’m dreaming It’s really been fun As I wake up everyday In my heart, in my mind, in my soul But where is there left to go With no new songs to play La la la la … Save to give my life a new meaning Feeling like I ought to Pack my bag and run There I was on a July morning And if by chance you’d come my way My imagination flies I was looking for love I’ll have to say To some other sunny skies With the strength Here am I, give me love Where I felt so good Of a new day dawning Here am I, give me love And everything was done And the beautiful sun
How was I to know And my time was my own And at the sound Your heart was unsatisfied And my heart felt so free Of the first bird singing When you never troubled to tell me I was leaving for home No wish that you made to me I don't mind a little rain With the storm Ever was denied But it doesn't seem the same And the night behind me I played it just the way that it should be When the clouds shut out Yeah, and a road of my own Your beauty from my eyes But then you turned and walked away There's a storm inside my head I have to say And I know it doesn't lead Here am I, give me love To a clearer day TEARS IN MY EYES Here am I, give me love When nobody will cry I thought no-one could keep us Here am I, give me lov I can't stand here alone From sharing the rest of our lives And I need to be free Like a fool I believed you were true And had no disguise

There's a clear blue sky outside Would you steal a nickel May I hear once more And the summer is fine From a blind man The bird calls my name But with tears in my eyes Well right now, I do believe you would May I be permitted just one friend I'm no longer pretending you're mine It's not the thought of you To share my game Doing it that hurts me It's the same weary story It's the mind behind it what's no good The one who doesn’t give a damn Of a woman abusing her man For what I seem to be So I have to forget you If this is your way And really cares for what I am and Though I'm not even sure if I can I don't wanna know What’s within my heart It's only so far I can go I believe the sun will shine I won't go no further And I know that given time SHADOWS OF GRIEF Not for you or anyone The leaves will blow tumble and I have my own ideas on Cry upon the autumn stone below You're looking at me like I must be mad What should be done But I've been through all this before You'll kick and kick until I'm down What should be done So don't think you're Comin' past my door, oh no And my heart grows tired each day You think that love is such a pain LOVE MACHINE As the sun grow cold So the more it hurts, the more you laugh Weary uninspired each day Just take it and shake it up and down Lovely little lady Til the story is told Till you think you've had enough You got me on the run But you won't get enough of my love You're a love machine You gave your love to one And you say that I'm your gun Who only wants If you want to carry on But I don't care What you seem to be In the same old way ‘Cause I've got to know And doesn’t really care for you or Treating everyone like a piece of dirt What’s within your heart Just take it and She said she were a loser Break it and throw it away The kind that came off worse On my grave lay one black rose There won't be anyone left to hurt So I had to try hard Do this for me but don’t suppose To satisfy your thirst Because I’m gone, my soul is dead North, South, East and West But I don't care For I’ll be here in spirit Wherever you go you'll find the same ‘Cause I've got to know And our love once more And the only way you'll ever learn Is to realize that you're to blame The only time she's happy There must be a heart somewhere Is when the bullets fly In need of the love I have And she'll make you feel That will reach out in sincerety and You're better than any other guy Take my life in hand WHAT SHOULD BE DONE And I don't care Then I’ll know it’s not some one ‘Cause I've got to know Who wants just what I seem to be So you think you found a way of living The one who cares for what I am That prevents you losing any sleep Lovely little lady And what’s within my heart Well, my friend, take this that I'm giving You got me on the run
It's your piece of mind you oughta keep You're a love machine What’s within my heart ... And I’m trying to be your gun

And help the people to feel free again Somewhere along the lonely road There rides the rainbow demon
I had tried to find you On his horse of crimson fire Why don't we listen to Day after day on that windy road Black shadows are following closely The voices in our hearts I had walked behind you On the heels of his desire ‘Cause then I know we'd find
We're not so far apart Easy livin’ and I've been forgiven Ridin' on in the mist of morning Everybody's got to be happy Since you've taken No one dared to stand in his way Everyone should sing Your place in my heart Possessed by some distant calling For we know the joy of life Riding on through night and day The peace that love can bring Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away Rainbow demon So spoke the wizard Dreaming, thinking Pick up your heart and run In his mountain home Ready for my happy day Rainbow demon The vision of his wisdom And some easy livin' Lives for his sword and his gun 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 POET’S JUSTICE ALL MY LIFE
Cold winds and cloudy skies I had a little look for a minute today Turned to sweetness in her eyes TRAVELLER IN TIME And I told there was something Fantasies I realised That I wanted to say
Came to life to my surprise Every day I have to look to the sun Just sitting there glowing To see where it was that Rain came and took her away With her red light on I have come from Just when I thought she was here to stay So I've gotta make fast I have a feeling that Sun gone I was left high and dry And it shouldn't take long There must be a time Love came by and touched me
And kissed me so long

Weaker than a moment Rain, rain, rain in my tears THE MAGICIAN’S And hot as any fire Measuring carefully my years BIRTHDAY Blinder than the blind eye Shame, shame, shame in my mind
This is man's desire See what you've done to my life In the magic garden This is man's desire Some were singing, some were dancing See what you’ve done to my life While the midnight moon I ran to a place in the open sea Shone brightly overhead Where I pledged my life to the sun
It was good for a while The stars so gaily glistened I could laugh, I could smile SWEET LORRAINE And the sphinx in silence listened to But when I woke up one day The magician tell of The sun had gone Would you like to take Lives that he had led
This magic potion with me So what of my meaning On a trip to a cosmic Let the bells of freedom ring What am I trying to say Playground far beyond Songs of love to Friday's king What of my caution She understands, she's been before I’m a man anyway It's in her hands to find the door Let's all go to the magician's birthday I’m a man anyway It's in a forest but not so far away
Sweet Lorraine Much to do and so much to say
Let the party carry on While we listened to
You and I will swim the sea The orchid orchestra play ECHOES IN THE DARK Sweet Lorraine Let the party carry on Happy Birthay to you ... I have heard the echoes in the dark You and I can feel the breeze Happy Birthday to magician Dim and distant voices of the past Happy Birthday to you ... And I've seen so far into the night There is no time, no wealth And lingered in the land of no light Only I surround you Then at the dead of midnight The fortune of this guide As we watched the dancing firelight Far beyond the shrouded hours of dawn Is simply sincerity The air grew cold Through the mist She understands, ‘Cos she's been before And seemed to dull the flame Of daybreak I was borne It's in her hands to find the door, so The fire died, the music faded But the day was clouded still by night Filled with fear of death we waited Leaving me in the land of no light For now we knew Some evil was to blame Though I'd love to say hello to you TALES You might have to wait awhile I challenge you, I challenge you all To say goodbye We told our tales as we sat under For all you own and all you know For it must end as it began Morning's sleepy sky And by all the powers of darkness And then start again With all the colours of I will steal what is mine The sunrise shining in our eyes The day of darkness comes to every man Surrender now or face my spite And lingers while he One, then another I grant you it may be Friday night Reaches out his hand With a story of yesterday's life But did you know this day And he cannot know how it will end Or of a lover who had Also numbers thirteen Till he finds out if he has a friend Gone in a moment of strife A friend ... First I'll give you fire No thought of sleep ever dwells I turn your fire into a sleepy stream Upon the wise man's mind Yes, now I give you nightmares Some task or audience From your horror I'll create a dream RAIN Stealing every moment of his time You cannot fight me It's raining outside Thus we have learned to live For I have the sword of hate But that's not unusual While mortal men stand waiting to die But one thing you can't see But the way that I'm feeling How can we do what must be done My answer is simply Is becoming usual In just one short life An impenetrable fortress I guess you could say Of love ... love ... love ... The clouds are moving away And if you ask, then you must know Away from your days and into mine If you still doubt, you should be told The fear went as quickly as it came It was not we that made it so The air was clear, the fire burned again Now it's raining inside It was by those who went before The flames leapt, the organ played It’s kind of a shame The swans sang to greet the day And it's getting to me, a happy man And there you sit, tomorrow's child And then we knew that Why should you want to So full of love, so full of life Love will find love will find love ... Waste all my time But you must rise to meet the day The world is yours but I am mine Lest you become another tale
Another tale ...

Look at the way it’s been Love rules over me Just waitin’ and wonderin’ And at the door of paradise I’ve just got to keep trying My best laid plan begun Something I have failed to see But as I turned to reach for you The haunted of a memory Looking for gold in the sky My coloured night, it was gone Darkness keeps my thoughts at bay Gets kinda rough But I will find my dream one day Maybe I’m to blame ‘Cause I didin’t look hard enough Hate, hate is my only thought But I still get the feeling Blame, the blame is on you That it shouldn’t be so tough Why, why, why, why Why did you leave my side? So I won’t mind, I, I won’t mind Heaven knows quite a few I won’t mind, I, I won’t mind So I won’t mind Something I have failed to see I, No, I won’t mind Like a haunted of a memory I won’t mind, I, said I won’t mind Darkness keeps my thoughts at bay But I will find my dream one day

I was just driftin' I just lay down wonderin' Though she never As a wind blown wave What to lay down Thinks of settling down Like a stricken ship Lately I can do it every day undisturbed She’ll spend time I thought I'd never be saved I think I know what Turning your head around So far below me But I just can't find out how But don't let your heart start dancing There seemed so much more The morning didn't show me The lady don't Yet a man has to know What it was worth Waste no time romancing What he's looking for Are you mine or are you Something unknown The woman of the world Kept my life turning around YOU CAN’T KEEP A GOOD Are you really so different But I couldn't get near to BAND DOWN From all the other girls Putting my feet on the ground Do you care that I care
With all that I had About the things that you do I can’t believe y'all are still sayin' Any man would be glad Does anything matter to you We're a long way from rock'n'roll But my everything was nothing Does anything matter to you You won't look for the good So what made me sad In the tunes we're playin' Once in a garden of glory Prefer to say we got no soul I was missing my little Miss Misty Eyes Someone sowed the seeds of this story
She made my life complete And the whole thing began But day after day in town after town I was waiting on With a woman and a man People say we're doin' alright True love's sweet surprise Still it's something no one understands We play and we stay boogyin' down And it tasted so sweet And rockin' on into the night It tasted so sweet
It's breath and words Farewell to that same lonely road And time you're wastin' FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW I've seen the last of that heavy load When you should be tryin' No more blues about paying dues To have a good time Just like footprints in the snow It's time for reaping For a good few years Who knows where my heart will go All the seeds I sowed It's been yours we've tasted Will it lead me to you
So here's a little piece of our mind Or will I see another empty day
We'll roll and we'll roll Seasons come and quickly go MIDNIGHT And we'll roll and we'll roll Kinda makes me wonder if they know Till we run out of reason to try Why my heart keeps I just lay down wonderin' If it happens you don't approve Running near and far What to lay down It don't matter we won't ask why If only they could tell me Lately I can do it every day undisturbed Where you are I think I know what You can't keep a good band down But I can't find out how You'll never find the solution If you’ve ever been in love The morning didn't show me You won't stop us runnin' around Then you'll know the rocky road What it was worth You're dealin' with an institution I've been speaking of You'll remember when Miles and miles of smiles We'll fill our cup with wine while you The times were good Getting me nowhere Fill your head with high ideals And the times you had to do without Opportunities I just can see You know so much Think carefully my friend Can't lead me to the slaughter But you still can't touch It may look like a start ‘Cause I'll already be there Till you find out how it feels But it could be the end I've been up that street And I know what's waiting for me It'll take much more I'm not trying to bring you down Just waiting Than the high and mighty I'm just so tired of hangin' around To bring down the king of the road I won't make the same mistake again Midnight, moonlight, day into day We could still be friends No escape I must stay And quit this fightin' Midnight, show me the way And let the real story be told Show me the way CAN’T STOP SINGING Give me something to play You can't keep a good band down Something to play You'll never find the solution I can't stop singing To help me make the new day You won't stop us runnin' around I can't see the end, just a new beginning With your paragraphs of pollution As long as I keep on trying Take me out of the darkness I’ll survive just fine Into the light Free to take my time I've no friends to stand by me Here in the night WOMAN OF THE WORLD Ridin' the moon in the midnight sky It's an affair of a sad and weary heart I can see through Take me out of the darkness Did you ever meet the kind of a lady The man who lies with eyes Back to the start She lives her whole life saying maybe And the real thing that's wrong is
Running here and there as she pleases He has no song to lean on
Not a thought for the social diseases

Love’s not a game, it’s never the same Don’t turn your head my way You’ll find another but no better You gotta live your love from day to day ‘Cause I’d rather have My music any day You can’t argue with me now Lonely days are long and I needed you and you did not know how Sad nights are so black You and I are masters of our destiny Then I get right down thinkin’ We look for consolation all the time Don’t let go of something that is good Maybe I could take you back Until we find out things are not When I’ll tell you it’s bad Till at mornin’ light What they were meant to be, oh no Let ‘em hear the story, make ‘em sad A new face appears at my door And if it doesn’t suit our mood As a kinda reminder that We’ll call it crime And if the price of love can cost you less I ain’t seein’ you no more Than when it first began I guess that you won’t find a better man Who needs me ...
