The 77's Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Over, Under, Sideways, Down

Lyricist:Jeff Beck, Chris Dreja, Jim Mccarty, Keith Relf, Paul Samwell
Smith

Cars and girls are easy to come by in this day and age
Laughing, joking, drinking, smoking, 'til I've spent my wage
When I was young, people spoke of immorality
All the things they said were wrong are what I want to be

(Hey)
Over, under, sideways down
(Hey)
Backwards, forwards, square and round
(Hey)
Over, under, sideways down
(Hey)
Backwards, forwards, square and round

When will it end?
When will it end?

I find comments about my looks irrelativity
I think I'll go and have some fun 'cause it's all for free
I'm not looking for a reason to enjoy myself
Seems it's better done than argued with somebody else

(Hey)
Over, under, sideways down
(Hey)
Backwards, forwards, square and round
(Hey)
Over, under, sideways down
(Hey)
Backwards, forwards, square and round

When will it end?
When will it end?


2.Time Is Slipping Away

Lyricist:Mascoli Eugene J Jr, Roe Michael S

Today you may be young and free
But tomorrow's never guaranteed
What's seventy years
Compared to eternity

You say nobody's gonna run your life
But you could lose it any day or night
Where will you be
When they turn out the light

Look at me
Look at someone who struggled
Someone who struggled for years
Look at me
Look at someone who struggled
Are you gonna waste the same tears

Time is slipping away
This could be your last day
Time is slipping away

You tell me that you don't got time
And then you work and slave for every dime
Just to get things
You know that you'll one day either lose
Or leave behind

You say you don't believe in fairy tales
But you keep looking for some holy grail
The cup that you need
Is made out of thorns and nails

Look at me
Look at someone with something
Someone with something that's real
You tell me
Are you someone with something you know
Or something you feel

Time is slipping away
Heaven's holding open its gates
Don't hold back because you're afraid
Someone's helping you
Someone's holding your hand today
What's gonna stand in your way


3.Ping Pong Over The Abyss

Lyricist:Proctor Mark Edward, Roe Michael S

Wouldn't it, couldn't it
Shouldn't it be nice to be in love
Wouldn't it couldn't it
Shouldn't it be nice to be above

All of the pain
And frustration of being alone
Nobody nobody nobody likes
To be chilled to the bone

You been trying, you been trying maybe
To find that one missing part
You been trying and trying baby
But you can't seem to melt your own heart

You heard lies and believed them
Until you cannot learn a thing
But late at night when you're all alone
You can still hear our ears ring

I can't help but sigh when you try to deny
Every why with a lie that may fry you in hell forever
You don't need to die and that's the reason why
I'm looking in your eye and telling you that it's now or never

Turn back, from the way you been living
Give back everything you've been given
Walk back to the Lord and you'll be forgiven

Fall back to your knees in praying
Look back to the word He was saying
Get back on your feet get up from
Where you been laying


4.Phony Eyes

Lyricist:Harmon Mark D, Harmon William B, Leonhardt David E, Roe
Michael S

Tuned in the radio to a passion play
Sounds much better now, sounds all the same
Say this, say that, it's just a game
Some things go 'round and 'round but never change

No phony eyes
No phony eyes

Flipped on the videos chasing a rhyme
Watched all the scary bones into the night
Fade in, fade out build up the hype
Paper thin images drifting from sight

No phony eyes
No phony eyes

A thin veil of innocence
Can't smother the flame of this angry atmosphere
We're all insane face it, don't space it
It's not just a game

Too many phony eyes
Too little shame

No phony eyes
No phony eyes


5.Kites Without Strings

Lyricist:Harmon Mark D, Leonhardt David E, Roe Michael S

I was high
Like a kite you pulled me through
When you ran
I followed you

Clipped at the wings
You held all my strings
I was taught
But never learned a thing

Is it any wonder
I came crashing down
When I did I hit solid ground
Was it all a blunder
Or were all those years I spent
Head in clouds, heaven sent

Gotta learn to walk
Before you run
You flew before you
Learned either one

Now you're gone
You're gone
Now you're gone
You're gone

Tangled in you
I aimed for the wild blue
When I hit the ground
What a bitter earth I found

Kites without strings
Fly on to bigger things
But you brought me down
You were determined
I was bound

You can't fly away
From who you are
You tried and you
Drifted way too far

Now you're gone
You're gone
Now you're gone
You're gone

Flying on the ground
Is always wrong
I let it go
But you kept holding on

Now you're gone
You're gone
Now you're gone
You're gone

Now you're gone
You're gone
Now you're gone
You're gone


6.Caught In An Unguarded Moment

Lyricist:Proctor Mark Edward, Roe Michael S, Volz Jan Eric

I saw you smiling
From the corner of your mouth
In the corner of my eye
(You didn't know that it was there)

But I hope that you appreciate
The fact you were appreciating
One who did not see
And so you did not care

But you were caught in an unguarded moment
You didn't know it would show
But you were caught in an unguarded moment
Your incognito went right out of the window

I saw a young man standing
On a crowded bar room floor
He was getting less and less
Thinking he was getting more

And when all at once he heard a sound
Exploding from the stage
He was taken unaware
And with no time to prepare

For he was caught in an unguarded moment
He wasn't ready to go
But he was caught in an unguarded moment
He had no time to say no

I saw a young girl fly
Over a rocky mountain brink
She had had too much to drink
She did not have time to think

But it was far more than just her car
That flew out of control
She had gone over the edge
Long before she'd lost her soul

And she was caught in an unguarded moment
Her fate was inappropriate
But she was caught in an unguarded moment
She's been a pleasure to know

But she was caught in an unguarded moment
She made a brief cameo
But she was caught in an unguarded moment
Something she could not foreknow

And she was caught in an unguarded moment
All fall down like dominoes
And now she's caught in an unguarded moment
Eternal sorrow and woe


7.Renaissance Man

Lyricist:Tootle Mark J

He's the high priest of the future
Controlled experiments are his specialty
Sewing up questions with mental sutures
Trying to make some sense out of reality

A renaissance man
Tearing himself from the rock
A renaissance man
Tearing himself from the rock

It's from 'star stuff' that he's made
It's the cosmos that gave him life
How does that help him feed the poor?
How does that help him love his wife?

A renaissance man
Tearing himself from the rock
A renaissance man
Tearing himself from the rock

He's cast away all thoughts of heaven
His science is full of preconceptions
His answers make me ask more questions
How many can wait on evolution?

A renaissance man
Tearing himself from the rock
A renaissance man
Tearing himself from the rock

He needs to live
On the sides of the north
In the city of reformation
That's where he'll find his life

A renaissance man
Tearing himself from the rock
A renaissance man
Tearing himself from the rock


8.Mercy Mercy

Lyricist:Proctor Mark Edward, Roe Michael S

I was wallowing
In a pit of snakes
They come crawling
Up around my legs

Now I despise
Them but I know
If they hypnotize me
Down down I go

Then I say Lord
Have mercy on me
I say Lord
Have mercy

Love to fly
In a purple haze
Believe lies
Just to stay faced

But when I crash
On solid ground
Then I go spat
And my up comes down

Then I say Lord
Have mercy on me
I say Lord
Have mercy

Complete
Forgiving
Chastening
Embracing

Love to go far
On my guitar
Love when she sings
Love when she stings

But if I bow
Down to her notes
When death comes 'round
That's all she wrote

Then I say Lord
Have mercy on me
I say Lord
Have mercy

Complete
Forgiving
Chastening
Embracing

Unearned
Undeserved
A total work


9.Nobody's Fault But Mine

Lyricist:Page James Patrick, Plant R A

Nobody's fault but mine
Nobody's fault but mine
If I don't keep my soul alive
It's nobody's fault but mine

The devil he taught me to roll
The devil he taught me to roll
How to roll that invisible line
Well, it's nobody's fault but mine

I've got a Bible in my house
I've got a Bible in my house
If I don't read it, my soul dies
Well, it's nobody's fault but mine

My sister she taught me to read
My sister she taught me to read
I didn't read it, lost my life
It's nobody's fault but mine

If I don't read my soul to life
Well, nobody's fault but mine


10.Someone New

Lyricist:Mascoli Eugene J Jr, Roe Michael S

Guess, I better come clean
I was lying through my teeth
You know that I was getting
Downright mean

And you heard about enough
Excuses from me
To fill a magazine
It was getting hard to sleep

'Cuz my talk was only cheap
But you're gonna be surprised
To find me talking like I'm
Someone new

Was looking oh so cool
But I done enough crying
All alone to fill
A King-size pool

Guess, I had to find out
The hard way baby
I was someone's fool
It was getting hard to sleep

'Cuz my heart was on the street
But you're gonna be surprised
To find me looking like I'm
Someone new cuz baby

Someone new got ahold of me
Someone new took control for me
And what I blew
It won't be held against me

Someone new is looking out for me
Someone who's got real love for me
But what's it to you
Are you gonna be the last to know?
Are you gonna be the last to know?

You think you're gonna be good
You think you're gonna try and
Save the world
Like some modern-day Robin Hood

Guess, you're gonna find out
The hard way, babe
There's only One that could
It's getting too late to sleep

Why don't you come in off that street
And you're gonna be surprised
When you find out you can be
Someone new too cuz baby

Someone new could take care of you
Someone who's got real love for you
It's up to you what you gonna do, yeah
Someone new looking out for you

Someone who's got real love for you
But what's it to you
Are you gonna be the last to know?
You don't want to be the last to know?
You could be someone new


11.Make A Difference Tonight

Lyricist:Proctor Mark Edward, Roe Michael S, Tootle Mark J

Bells buzzers sirens and horns
Ringing in my head
Bills budgets savings and loans
Always in the red

Times schedules deadlines and forms
I think I'll go crazy
Wish I could remember what it was
Like to be lazy

I'm always running out of time
I'm always standing in a line
I'm always spending every dime

Moments minutes weeks months and years
Just to end up this way
Toils trials troubles and tears
The endless price I pay

Thorns thistles thatches and tares
Tangled up in me
Gonna take much more than a man
To set me free

Why won't somebody tell my how to
Make a difference tonight


12.The Rain Kept Falling In Love

Lyricist:Harmon Mark D, Leonhardt David E, Roe Michael S

I curse the sun in the summer
Burns me up till I'm blind
I curse the cold in the winter
But I don't really mind

If they asked any money
I would give any money
To the sun and the wind
And the rain to be kind

Prayed the rain to keep up
But it kept coming down
Washed my hands of it all
But it's all over town

I would give any money
To see the sky again sunny
But I'll let it rain, really pour
Salt my tears, let me drown

Rain on, rain on, rain on, rain on
The rain kept falling in love

Can the dirt in the ground
Sprout a seed all alone
Can the dirt in my heart
Go away on it's own

If you asked me for money
I would give you the money
To make the rain wash the stain
Take my shame and go home

Rain on, rain on, rain on, rain on
The rain kept falling in love
