1.Best Thing

Written:james young, dennis deyoung
Lead vocals:dennis deyoung

Your loving seemed to be the best thing
That i ever had
Your loving seemed to be the best thing
That i ever had

Your loving seemed to be the best thing
That i ever had
Your loving seemed to be the best thing
That i ever had

Silk and satin make me wonder
Just who i am
To be with you in times of slumber
Makin' me a man

I haven't known you for a very long time
But it's on my mind what i want to do
A trip to the skies we begin to fly
Oo-oooh

All the riches i have taken
From you every night
Pay you back someday with interest
'cause your loving makes it right
Yeah

Your loving seemed to be the best thing
That i ever had
Your loving seemed to be the best thing
That i ever, ever had
Oh yeah

Best thing
(repeat to fade)


2.I'm Gonna Make You Feel It

Written:dennis deyoung
Lead vocals:james young

Every day i get the feeling
When you move on down the street
Wondering when i'll be your lover
And you'll make my dream complete

The way you walk is so inviting
That i quiver and i shake
The way you move it makes me wonder
How much more can i take

I'm gonna make you feel it
Basically that's what i say
I'm gonna make you feel it
Cause you want it just that way

Every time that we're together
My head starts to rock and roll
I get this strange electric feeling
That i simply can't control

I'm gonna make you feel it
Basically that's what i say
I'm gonna make you feel it
Cause you want it just that way


I'm gonna make you feel it
I'm gonna make you feel it
I'm gonna make you feel it


3.Lady

lady, when you're with me i'm smiling
Give me all your love
Your hands build me up when i'm sinking
Just touch me and my troubles all fade
Lady, from the moment i saw you
Standing all alone
You gave all the love that i needed
So shy, like a child who has grown

You're my lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You're my lady

Lady, turns me on when i'm lonely
Show me all your charm
Evenings when she lays down beside me
Just take me gently into your arms

Your my lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You're my lady

Lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You're my ... lady


4.Man Of Miracles

Written:james young, raymond brandle, dennis deyoung
Lead vocals:james young

He was a man of miracles

Fighting the solar windstorm
A winged horse guides his way
Oracle of the ancient midnight
Calls forth everlasting pain

And i know, yes i know
He was a man of miracles
Riding golden meteorites
Ruler of distant galaxies
Born of the northern lights
Of the northern lights

Sorcerer of the dark moon
Who dare incur his rage?
First child of the scorpion
Prophet of the crystal age

And i know, yes i know
He was a man of miracles
Riding golden meteorites
Ruler of distant galaxies
Born of the northern lights
Of the northern lights

He was a man of miracles

Well i've got this crazy feeling
It's a sickness in my soul
Well i can't play no 9 to 5 games

And we're goin' at the light of dawn

6.Southern Woman

Written:james young, raymond brandle
Lead vocals:james young

First met you in a southern town
On a warm november day
You made me smoke like a whirlwind
I knew we had nothing to say
Love me but don't try and make me stay

Southern woman
Take my soul but don't you take my life
Southern woman
Make me feel good but don't you tell my wife


Once again in the early spring
I touched your raven's crown
Your wild eyed stories of rare delight
Like to knock me down
It's getting so damn hard to put you down

Southern woman
Take my soul but don't you take my life
Southern woman
Make me feel good but don't you tell my wife


Southern woman
Take my soul but don't you take my life
Southern woman
Make me feel good but don't you tell my wife

Southern woman
Take my soul but don't you take my life
Southern woman
Make me feel good but don't you tell my wife

Southern woman
Yeah


7.The Grove Of Eglantine

Written:dennis deyoung
Lead vocals:dennis deyoung

Hey you there
Cast an eye this way
You with that young lust virgin smile
Don't pretend that you're quickly melting before my eyes
That's a lie

'cause i see all of you
Quite clearly now
I like our looks your moves you know everything
So when i ring you up in the evening i shall meet you

In the grove of eglantine
Just south of man's delight
Close to a soft flowing stream

In the grove of eglantine
We will join as lovers might
Between the lines of a dream

Your magic lips
Have made me realize
All of the pleasures man can fantasize
So don't pretend that you're sad to see me say goodbye
That's a lie

You're a wicked wench...ha
But thanks for all the laughs
You and your young lust virgin smile
And when i'm gone for awhile
I'll once more want to meet you

In the grove of eglantine
Just south of man's delight
Close to a soft flowing stream

In the grove of eglantine
We will join as lovers might
Between the lines of a dream
In the grove of eglantine
Just south of man's delight
Close to a soft flowing stream

In the grove of eglantine
We will join as lovers might
Between the lines of a dream

In eglantine...of a dream (fade)


8.What Has Come Between Us

Written:mark gaddis
Lead vocals:dennis deyoung

Look at all the people
Looking at their dreams
Smiles upon their faces
Tell me what they see

Look at all the people
Have they gone astray?
Living for tomorrow
With dreams of yesterday

Lovely lady
Tell me what you feel
As a child were you mild
Does it make it so unreal?

Lovely lady
Feel so insecure
When you give all yourself
How can you be sure?

What has come between us
What has made us sad
Childhood's forgotten
Yet it's hiding in the past

What has come between us
There's something in ourselves
Lines upon our faces
Saying no more time for rest

Lovely lady
Tell me what you feel
As a child were you mild
Does it make it so unreal?

Lovely lady
Feel so insecure
When you give all yourself
How can you be sure?

Lovely lady
Tell me what you feel
As a child were you mild
Does it make it so unreal?

Lovely lady
Feel so insecure
When you give all yourself
How can you be sure?

Lovely lady
Feel so insecure
When you give all yourself
How can you be sure?

Lovely lady
Tell me what you feel
As a child were you mild
Does it make it so unreal?

Lovely lady
Feel so insecure
When you give all yourself
How can you be sure?


9.Witch Wolf

Written:james young, ray brandle
Lead vocals:james young

Reoccurring symptoms
Answer the baleful howl
Bringing me dreams of darkness
The doer of all that's foul
Raping the minds of infants
Sower of unplanted seeds
Full moon warrior
Doer of sordid deeds

Witch wolf
Night rider
Why do you call for me?

Thirteenth hour madman
Bringing my soul to fire
Visions of my sweet beulah
To torment soon retire

Witch wolf
Night rider
Why do you call for me?

Got my one-way ticket
On this hell bound train
I can't seem to stop falling
I bear the wrath of cain

Witch wolf
Night rider
Why do you call for me?


10.You Need Love

Written:dennis deyoung
Lead vocals:james young

Bah bah bah bah bya ba ba dada
Bah bah bah bah bya ba ba dada
Bah bah bah bah bya ba ba dada
Bah bah bah bah bya ba ba dada da

Welcome my friends
To a place that may seem
Most disturbing
Quite unnerving

Lend me your dreams
And we'll add what we need
To be free
Terminally

We'll fly to a spot
Where i know there is not
Any sorrow
No tomorrow

People just laugh
Cause they know how it feels
To have loved
And be loved

Don't you worry
Ain't no need to hurry
All you really need
Is love

Bah bah bah bah bah

Now you may say
Tell me more of this place
So inviting
And exciting

Here and above
Children love without doubt
And can be
They can be

Listen my friends
Carefully to direction
To get there
And you know where

Love is the place
Skewed to matter and space
For us all
For us all

Don't you worry
Ain't no need to hurry
All you really need
Is love, love, love
