Terry Reid Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.May Fly

Nothing I can think, nothing I can do
That I would want to say
Nothing in my head or yours
That you can say really makes me want to say
Now I found out there's something really standing all for life
Oooh, I think it's about time
We did something about what's going down

Chorus
'If you think our love is just worthwhile
Think it's all been worth it
If you think that life is too unbearable to unwind
Fly on, May Fly'

There's something right, before me
I hope you get it today
'Haven't heard a thing or a line in six months
And I'm in a bad bad way
But now I know cause I've sorted
All the things yours and all the things of mine...'
Oh and I know, I'll send back the case
When I can find a place to put it down

Chorus
'If you think our love is just worthwhile
Think it's all been worth it
If you think that life is too unbearable to unwind
Fly on, May Fly'


2.Driver

Wake up alone and find
It's the wheels just rollin in my mind
Cant stop to think or see
Is this really what God cut for me

You think I'd love to see nothing
But the wheels just rollin round and
I throw my head back and I'm blind

You can stop sometime
If you ever do, you'll lose your mind
It's more than a dream to me
Just an alibi for rivalry

You think I'd love to see nothing
But the wheels just bearing down and
I throw my head back and I go blind

When I look back at my life sometimes
I see it all as broken lines
Running over
When you look up to me

Well it's hard to understand sometimes
When I go put mine on the line
And it's hard
As it always used to be

They don't care
(forget this line)

Like the old boys
Runnin in the night
Cross the borders, between their own headlights
Runnin them hard

When I open up and find
There's another part of life sometimes
When you look up at me and find

And I know that it's hard to understand
Who would expect someone to ever give out their hand
To someone like me?

Gotta understand
It's a cold stormy day
Get out there and see

Like the old boys
Runnin in the night
Cross the borders, between their own headlights

Runnin, runnin
Cross that border
Just runnin them hard
And takin em home


3.Stay With Me Baby

Lyricist:Jerry Ragovoy, George David Weiss

Where did you go when things went wrong now baby?
Who did you run to and find a shoulder to lay your head upon?
Baby, wasn't I there, didn't I take good care of you?
Oh no, I can't believe you're leaving me

Stay with me, baby, stay with me, baby
Stay with me, baby, I can't go on

Who did you trust when you needed tenderness?
I gave you so much and in return I found happiness
Baby, what did I do? Maybe, I was too good to you
Oh no, I can't believe you're leaving me

Remember, you said you'd never, never leave me
Remember, you said you're always gonna need me
Remember, remember
I'm askin' ya, beggin' ya, please, please

Stay with me, baby, stay with me, baby
Stay with me, baby, I can't go on


4.Rich Kid Blues

Lyricist:Terry Reid

Havin' bad times, now I'm paying dues
Got shoes and money, good friends too
Always play to win, always seem to lose
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues

And I know what's going on
And I know that the way is too long
And I know just exactly what's on your mind
But you'll be back and I'll lose them forever

'Cause I'm wondering why, now, should I ask your name
All the people standing by, all there in the game
Love is just a story, a story without words
Words that always never seen and never even heard

And I know what's going on
And I know that the way is too long
And I know just exactly what's on your mind
But you'll be back and I'll lose them forever

Know my good times, just angels
I got shoes and money, good friends, too
No, I always play to win and always seem to lose
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues
That's why I think I got a rich kid's blues

And I know what's going on
And I know that some way is too long
And I know that there's something on your mind
And I'll say to wave back and just lose them forever


5.Something's Gotten Hold Of My Heart

Lyricist:Roger Cook, Roger Greenaway

Something's gotten hold of my heart
Tearing my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife

Turning me up and turning me down
Making me laugh and making me frown
In a world that was strong
I would lived in a time with no peace or no trouble at all

But then my way
And a feeling I know, shook my heart
And I want you to stay
All of my nights and all of my days

Something's gotten hold of my heart
Tearing my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife

Changing the gray to a depression blue
Scarlet for me, it's scarlet for you

Got to know if this is the real thing
I've got to know what's making my heart sing, oh, yeah

Turn around, I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is a lifetime
Every hour, every day
You touch me and my mind goes astray

Baby, gotta tell you something's gotten hold of my heart
Tearing my soul and my senses wide apart
Something's gotten right into my life
Cutting its way through my dreams like a knife

Changing the gray
Changing the blue
Scarlet for me
It's scarlet for you


6.Seed Of Memory

Lyricist:Reid Terence James

Brave dreams that are kindled from ashes
Rise out over all the battle below
Spread wings over all that he passes

So his life can stay immortal to his country
All the shades of green that fall beneath this tree
So let the winds of change that rearrange the country
Let it also sow a seed of memory

Marlena in the cool satin sashes
Spread dreams over the battle below
Bring love with a song as she passes
So his life can stay immortal to the country

And let every man aware of being free
Mmm, when she talks of times when wine is handed to me
From a face that walked out of a memory

And now that the battle is done
And you wake up in the morning
With the sun up in the sky

Summer never gives you no warning then
Flowers are getting thrown up to cover the mud up on the line
Valleys getting greener and there's
Nothing but love on your mind

Brave dreams that are kindled from ashes
Rise out over the battle below
Spread wings over all that he passes

So his life can immortal to the country
Other shades of the green that brought for me a victory
But the winds of change, have rearranged this country
Let in also sow the seed of memory, yeah

Let it always sow the seed of memory, yeah
Let it always sow the seed of memory, yeah


7.Erica

Lyricist:Reid Terence James

Erica would much prefer to hide behind her hair
Conveniently you cannot see her face
Though she keeps her mind wide open
To the affluent society
And the mystery's still kept up in her hair

Why don't you just stop and say
One word or two or maybe more?
With a face like yours right away I'm sure
One day I caught you running with the wind

I can smell the perfume in the garden of her hair
Mirrors and reflections I can see
Though I never get quite close enough
Because I stop and stare
And the mystery's still kept up in her hair


8.Brave Awakening

Lyricist:Reid Terence James

Mother, I fear for the laddies
There ain't much more coal to go down to
There ain't much more soul to get round to
Not anymore

Mother, I hear for the laddies
Ain't much more soul to get round to
Lessening of companies that are finding
Things to bind to it anymore

I'd hate to just realize why
That company's getting so shy
The bairns don't have get togethers
'Round here not anymore


Mother, I hear for the laddies
Talking 'bout going on down to
The town where the money's just bound to
Surely just ease the door

It's happening all over the city
There ain't much more doubt to get down to
Lessening of reasons, that can send you
Back down for more

They're telling their sisters of why
Feelings that pass them close by
All that they seek is what they're wanting to keep
And it's glistening right there in their eyes

So mother I fear for the laddies
Father, says no one goes down to
The face of some mine no boy of mines
Gonna be bound to, anymore

The future's, a brave new awakening
Have to no more go back down to
Bowels of this earth that will take you
Away from home and more

Come home, family gotta know
Oh, I know that, family just gotta know
No, no, no I want answer

Ever body just working, going on, going down, down
Working in a coal mine going down
Everybody wants to work in a coal mine
Going down, down
Working in a coal mine going down


9.July

Thought that in July
That we could buy
The months of May
And the time for the lines

I couldn't make sun, sea and spray
Is where you lay so peacefully like a stone
Sown by land and sea
Red from red to brown, from brown to gold and out of view

Still the sun is beating down
Beating down onto your body
Like the sun rose out the dew

Ahh, if we ever meet again
I won't be sorry, won't even worry, won't even care
Just as long as you can make it out
You'll be there, oh, that's right

Red from red to brown, from brown to gold and out of view
Till the sun is beating down
Beating down onto your body
Like I know, some rose out you

Wah, if we ever meet again
I know, I wont' be sorry, won't even worry, won't even care
Just as long as you can show me
The one thing

Come on, girl, make it out, why won't you be there?
'Cause you're the one I love
You're the one I love, you're the one I love
You're the one I love


10.Season Of The Witch

As I look through my window
Many sights to see
And as I look through my window
Many people I wish that I could be

It's strange
It's so very, very, very strange
You've got to pick up every stitch
You've got to pick up every stitch

Sounds like people go round and round
It really should go like a itch
You've got to make them itch
Try it again even if everybody else to it now

Say it now, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch

And as I look out my window
Many sights I wish I could see
Some are okay looking over
So many people I wish I could be

So strange
So very, very, very, very strange
That's why you've got to pick up every stitch
That's why you've got to pick up every little stitch

Two rabbits running side by side in a ditch
That's why I can't see it on my eye
That's why I can't see my result
That's why I feel like I'm in the gutter, oh yeah

Say it now, must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season of the witch

As I look through my window
Many sights I wish I could see
Some are okay looking over
Why do they see that they make me free?

'Cause it's so very, very, very strange
So very, very, very strange
Strange enough to make you pick up every stitch
That's why you see it in a ditch

Why can't see nobody else?
That's why you can't see a man
That's why you it takes known as a man
And why from the other itch
That's why they name him

That's why it must be the season of the witch, oh, all right
Must be the season of the witch, ha, ha
Must be the season of the witch
Must be the season season, bah, bah, bah

Season of the witch


11.Bang Bang

You were four and I was six
Rode on horses made of sticks
You wore black and I wore white
You would always win the fight

Bang, bang, you shot me down
Bang, bang, I hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
Bang, bang, my baby shot me down

You grew up, and I left town
I will always call you mine
You would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Bang, bang, you shot me down
Bang, bang, my cold heart hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
Bang, bang, I baby shot me down

You always young heart
Now you're gonna get this part
You always laugh and say
Remember when you used play

To this day I don't know why
To the lonesome times I cry
Wouldn't even try to lie about
The times we knew inside

Bang, bang, you shot me down
Bang, bang, I hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
Bang, bang, my baby shot me down

Now we're torn and all apart
Thought that we were always smart
You would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play

Bang, bang, you shot me down
Bang, bang, I hit the ground
Bang, bang, that awful sound
Bang, bang, my baby shot me down

You were always young at heart
Now you're gonna get this part
You always laugh and say
Remember when you used play

Bang, bang
Bang, bang
My baby shot me down


12.This Time

There I've done it again
This time I can't hide it from my friends
I guess it's got to be explained
Although it was my destiny, oh I, you have me, girl

Wish I knew just where I stood
I wouldn't cry even though I could
I guess it's got to be the same
Although I know I'm the one to blame now

Oh I, you have me, girl, you've got to do it, ah
I said now that I love you now
She's said no one like you around now
Oh, not never again now just myself

So there I've done it again
I know that this time
I can't hide it from you my friend
How should I know it was got to be the same way

Although it was my destiny
Oh, now you have me, girl
Come out and don't waste time
Said you've got to do it now


13.Sweater

If I had met her wearing the sweater
I would feel better than I do today
She would deplore me
And just stand there in the door

Would come out to play with me
Then I would show you the ways of the sea
Have you got time for me love?
Me walk out and follow me

Followed the daughter, looked into the water
Walked out the water and I caught hold of her hand
Pulling me under my ears filled with thunder

Like a peal of bells falling out of the sky
So I begin to feel that life is fine, fine
The thing was in the light, ooh, ooh, oh

To see
What I mean

If I had met her wearing the sweater
I would feel better than I do today
Ignore me, stand in the doorway

Come out to play with me
Then I will show you the ways of the sea
Follow me I will show you the ways of the sea

Walk out and follow me
The edge of the water with me to the sea


14.Writing On The Wall

I can see the writing on the wall
Under deciphered messages to us
Thoughts of long forgotten people
Fading away, getting vaguer day by day
Each hiding a secret that not one will declare

I see the writing
I see that none of it is read up unto to me
I'm the exception
Said, no one stopped to write a doggone thing about me
Hey, hey well, now that I know

Well, the wall could tell a tale or two
Maybe some of me or some of you
Everybody listening carefully
But not enough that sometime you wrote a lie
A cliche upon our door or did you write more?

I see the writing
I see that none of it is read up unto to me
I'm the exception
I said, no one ever gets to write a thing about me
Well, now that I know

Sing it


15.When You Get Home

When you get home
Home away from your home, from home
When you get home
Home just seems like your home

They'll be people dancing everywhere
When the evening comes there's no one there
People watching as the sun goes right on down
Peace and quiet there will be for miles around

When you get home, when you get home
Said, when you get home, yeah
Home away from your home, from home

I said now there's no place like home
And you can do just what you want
And live where you roam

They'll be people dancing everywhere
When the evening comes there's no one there

When you get home, when you get home
Said, when you get home, yeah
Home away from your home, from home

I said now there's no place like home
And you can do just what you want
And live where you roam

They'll be people dancing everywhere, yeah
When the evening comes there's no one there
People watching as the sun goes right on down
Peace and quiet there will be for miles around

When you get home
When you get home
Said ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Said when you get


16.Superlungs My Supergirl

You find the kind of girl in every town
Wherever there's a scene she's always hanging around
She's so naive and innocent and looks at you with awe
She's only fourteen but she knows how to draw, yeah

Whoa, super lungs
Whoa, super lungs

She never gets involved with blowing her cool
She's too busy getting high with her classmates in school
Teachers all ignore her, they would if they could
But she ain't quite grown up yet but her breathing's real good
Come on now

Whoa, super lungs
I said now that's what she's got, super lungs
I know I need me some super lungs
Whoa, super lungs

Whoa, super, super
Super, super, super, super
Do, do, do, do, do, do
Whoa yeah, whoa, whoa yeah
