1.Paradise, The Spell
I feel you trying,
though in my heart I know you're lying.
And though your love for me is dying,
I see you crying.
It's the pain of your secret heart
bringing you to tears, filling you with fears
for your mind and for your soul.
I touch you softly now,
born on by hope until the end, somehow.
I am a man and I must keep my vows,
I must go on.
But the wall of your secret heart
keeps my distance clear, helps my footsteps fall
back in line inside my mind.
What's the use? You turned me loose
and left me here to cry.
Where's the love we talked about?
Where's my sunny sky?
Secret hearts and sorry tales
will never help love grow.
Spread your wings my darkened soul,
the time has come to go.
I will not be hurried down
or blackened by you lies.
I must go and find my dreams
and live in paradise.
(Repeat and fade)
What do you think I am? Do you think I'm dreaming?
Don't you know I know what it is you're schemeing?
Who did you think gave you the right,
hidden by the dead of night,
to take the world and turn it upside down,
when it should be round?
It seems I made it just in time
to use my reason and my rhyme
to save us from the evils of your mind.
I will cast the spell, be sure I cast it well.
I will light a fire, kindled with desire.
I'll fill you with fear so you'll know I'm here
and I won't be treated like a fool.
Stop what you're pretending, there'll be no happy ending.
I'm alive and darkness is my tool.
But when the night is over,
and daytime steals your cover,
the goodness of the morning sun
will wear away what you have done
and leave you cold.
I have no need for moonlight.
You're wrong to trust in sunlight.
For I exist, not just in storms,
but in life itself, in so many forms
to leave you cold.
I will leave you now, but you wont defeat me.
You had best beware when you come to meet me.
Love and truth will follow me,
an army of reality,
brought from every corner of the world.
You will never break the spell.
I summon all the fires of hell
and this is my advice for what it's worth:
Let us not begin this fight we cannot win.
Be sure you're watching me.
Cause all through your life,
every day and every night,

3.That's the Way It Is
Lyricist:Paul Bliss
I've been thinking about
What you said last night
And for all your fine words
You still don't have it right
'Cause that's the way that it is
And you won't ever change
You can scream at me but the powers that be
Won't ever hear your voice
'Cause they're lost in their own importance
No, they'll never hear your voice
'Cause that's the way that it is
And you won't ever change it
Now I've heard all your stories
Of how the few can be strong
How you'll fight to the end
Just to prove me wrong
'Cause that's the way that it is
And you won't ever change it
So don't come cryin' to me if your
Fanciful schemes don't turn out like you planned
'Cause you're chasing after something
That keeps slipping through your hand
4.What Can I Do (B-Side Single)
Lyricist:Michael Box, David Byron, Lee Kerslake
I wish you'd stop and give a helping hand
For I guess I'm only half a man
I feel the only way for me to leave
Is just to give you everything I can give
'Cause without you, without you
What can I do, yeah
I will give you all the love I have
Just to know you stop me being so sad
I hope you won't think, oh, so badly of me
'Cause I had to tell you this could break myself in
'Cause without you, without you
What can I do, yeah
Being helpless is a habit of mine
No one else can understand
You are the one to help me to survive
If you're any friend of mine
Being helpless is a habit of mine
No one else can understand
You are the one to help me to survive
If you're any friend of mine
Yesterday, you gave a helping hand
To someone you'll never understand
Though I tried to tell you of this way
You said I had nothing constructive to say
But without you, without you
What can I do, yeah
What can I do? What can I do?
What can I do? What can I do?
What can I do?
5.Here Am I
Lyricist:Ken Hensley
I sit in my sunny chair with my head held low
I know the reason I'm dreaming
It's really been fun but where is there left to go
Save to give my life a new meaning
And if by chance you'd come my way
I'll have to say
Here am I, give me love
Here am I, give me love
How was I to know your heart was unsatisfied
When you never troubled to tell me
No wish that you made to me ever was denied
I played it just the way that it should be
But then you turned and walked away
I had to say
Here am I, give me love
Here am I, give me love
Here am I, give me love
I imagine I must sit here till the winter comes
And just watch the days growing shorter
To gather in dust won't go till my thinking's done
And I walk from this troubled water
By then my need won't be so bad
And I'll gladly say
Here am I, give me love
Here am I, give me love
Love
6.Born In A Trunk
Lyricist:Michael Frederick Box, David Byron
You were born in a trunk
Everyone talkin' about you
You were born in a trunk
Where would they be without you?
You better move off the rails
People begin to look subways
You better move off the rails
You won't even listen to my way, yeah
I'm livin' in shame
People say I don't matter
I'm livin' in shame
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
You were born in a trunk
Everyone talkin' about you
You were born in a trunk
Where would they be without you?
You better move off the rails
People begin to look subways
You better move off the rails
You won't even listen to my way
7.Gypsy (Live)
Lyricist:Michael Frederick Box, David John 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, oh
Oh, I love 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
Oh, oh, oh
I love my gypsy
8.Something or Nothing (Live)
Lyricist:Michael Box, Ken Hensley, Gary Thain
There's never a day when I got nothing to do
The something to me, it might mean nothing to you
But don't, no, no, no, look at me strangely now
We're gonna find the line that's in the middle and run
You're gonna run
Something, something or nothing
You say you love to spend days but I will save mine
Waiting for the sun in your eyes to turn the water to wine
So don't, don't, don't, don't look at me strangely now
We're gonna find the right line in the middle and run
We're gonna run
Something, something or nothing
You say you love to spend days but I will save mine
You're waiting for the sun in your eyes to turn the water to
wine
So don't, no, no, no, look at me strangely now
We're gonna find the right line in the middle and run
Something, something or nothing
Something, something or nothing
Something, something or nothing
It's gotta be something, something or nothing
Something, yeah
9.Angels Walk With You
Lyricist:Trevor Bolder
I only know what I'm feeling
Do you know it's true
'Cause I've searched for you
'Cause I believe in you
Why do we walk in shadows
While this world falls apart?
'Cause I'd die for you
'Cause I know
Angels walk with you
In my hands I hold nothing
The more I had the less I used
If I'd gone down that road forever
I would not have found you
And a new world with a new morning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new life with a real meaning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
'Cause angels walk with you
If we sit and do nothing
Will the light surely fade?
Can I trust in you forever?
If you show me the way
A new world with a new morning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new life with a real meaning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
'Cause angels walk with you
Yeah, walk with you
'Cause I'd die for you
'Cause I know
Angels walk with you
A new world with a new morning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new life with a real meaning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
'Cause angels walk with you
10.Woman of the Night (Live)
Lyricist:Kenneth William Hensley
Ride along lady
Woman of the night
Looking for a place to go
Dancing on storm clouds
Hiding from the light
Searching 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 can 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, no, no
Some night the evil get to you, you
Someone who can 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
11.Valley Of Kings
Lyricist:Michael Frederick Box, Robert Daisley, Peter Goalby, Lee Gary
Kerslake, John Sinclair
I've been thinkin' about it
Ive been thinkin' a lot to tell you
I've been thinkin' it over
I've been thinkin' of how to show you
Oh, my love, you, my love
I've been thinkin' about you
I've been thinkin' of how to show you
I've been thinkin' it over
I've been figurin' how to tell you
You, my love, you, my love
Ain't no secret, yes, it's true
I don't know what I'll do
Ain't no secret, guess it's true
I'd be lost without you
Ain't no secret, yes, it's true
I'd be lost without you, without you
I've been thinkin' about you
I've been thinkin' of how to show you
I've been thinkin' it over
I've been figurin' how to tell you
You, my love, you, my love
12.Magic Lantern
Lyricist:Box Michael Fred, Garrick David John
When you look inside my magic lantern
All the world is yet unseen
Try to gaze into the yellow glowing
And get a reflection of me
In a land of make believe and magic
You can be just anything you feel
You think that what you're in is a dream
But know that the lantern is viewing
View the magic lantern
Take a trip around the world
View the magic lantern
There's a thousand mysteries unfurled
And I know one of them
I remember your face
Can't remember the place
Here on our own
Living alone
You can dream that you're a man of power
Ready to be happy with your gold
Without love your mind is going sour
Money's no good when you're old
View the magic lantern
You can have the sky above
Yeah, the magic lantern
You'll buy everything but love
Everything but love
13.Can't Keep a Good Band Down
Lyricist:Kenneth William Hensley
I can't believe y'all still sayin'
We're a long way from rock 'n' roll
You won't look for the good in the tunes we're playin'
You prefer to say we got no soul
But day after day in town after town
People say we're doin' alright
We play and we stay boogyin' down
And rockin' on into the night
It's breath and words and time you're wastin'
When you should be tryin' to have a good time
For a good few years it's been yours we've tasted
So here's a little piece of our mind
We'll roll and we'll roll and we'll roll and we'll roll
Till we run out of reason to try
If it happens you don't approve
It don't matter we won't ask why
You can't keep a good band down
You'll never find the solution
You won't stop us runnin' around
You're dealin' with an institution
We'll fill our cup with wine while you
Fill your head with high ideals
You know so much but you still can't touch
Till you find out how it feels
It'll take much more than the high and mighty
To bring down the king of the road
We could still be friends and quit this fightin'
And let the real story be told
You see you can't keep a good band down
You'll never find the solution
You won't stop us runnin' around
You're dealin' with an institution
You can't keep a good band down
You'll never find the solution
You won't stop us runnin' around
With your paragraphs of pollution
You can't keep a good band down
You'll never find the solution
You won't stop us runnin' around
You're dealin' with an institution
You can't keep a good band down
You'll never find the solution
You won't stop us runnin' around
With your paragraphs of pollution
You can't keep a good band down
Let me tell you
You can't keep a good band down
Let me tell you
14.Astranaza
Lyricist:Michael Frederick Box, David Byron
Hey girl, you are the one that got me started
And I bet you'll be the one to get us parted
In the beginning, in the beginning, you were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning, now everybody's had their
fun
How I'm wishing we could live together
Ohh, but the answer in your eyes is never
In the beginning, in the beginning, you were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning, everybody's had their fun
Well, you and me and we know what we're saying
To the rest of them, it's a game we're playing
In the beginning, in the beginning, we were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning, everybody else will come
How I'm wishing we could live together
Ohh, but the answer in your eyes is never, never
In the beginning, in the beginning, you were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning, oh, the mother of my son
In the beginning, in the beginning, you were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning, everybody had their fun
15.Corina
Lyricist:Michael Frederick Box, Philip James Lanzon, Bernie Shaw
You're too vain, you're insane
You think the world will stop turning 'cause you ain't around
Blind eyes, cheap lines you got the whole band playing
But you don't hear the sound
Your venom pen will never poison me
I won't be sticking round that long
Corina, what's this talk of glory
Between the sheets in halls of fame
Corina, just a hard luck story
Bratpack fever running through your brain
Your fast cars, rock stars, you were seen at the party
But you weren't even there
False name, the same game somebody's minding your business
You don't even care
You think it's all some kind of circus ride
You think that someone's keeping score
Corina, what's this talk of glory
Between the sheets in halls of fame
Corina, just a hard luck story
Bratpack fever running through your brain
Corina, what's this talk of glory
Between the sheets in halls of fame
Corina, just a hard luck story
Bratpack fever running through your brain
Corina, what's this talk of glory
Between the sheets in halls of fame
Corina, just a hard luck story
Bratpack fever running through your brain
16.Paradise/The Spell
Lyricist:Kenneth William Hensley
I feel you trying
Though in my heart
I know you're lying
And though your love
For me is dying
I see you crying
It's the pain of your secret heart
Bringing you to tears
Filling you with fears
For your mind and for your soul
I touch you softly now
Borne on by hope
Until the end somehow
I am a man and I must keep my vow
I must go on
But the wall of your secret heart
Keeps my distance clear
Helps my footsteps fall
Back in line inside my mind
What's the use you turned me loose
And left me here to cry
Where's the love we talked about
Where's my sunny sky
Secret hearts and sorry tales
Will never help love grow
Spread your wings my daunted soul
The time has come to go
I will not be hurried down
Or blackened by your lies
I must go and find my dream
And live in paradise
17.Wise Man (Single Edit)
Lyricist:Hensley Kenneth William David
I sat before the wise man, in the autumn of my youth
And I told him all the things I had to know
He said, â½You have the future if you need to find the truthâ
And in his eyes, I saw that it was so
So I came right out and asked him the meaning of life
And as he smiled I saw a twinkle in his eye
He said with all his years there's still so much he has to learn
And once again, I saw that it was so
Keep on living, loving, waiting your turn
It's the only way to ease your concern
If you want to find your dream
Be sure you don't wake up too soon
Or you'll find it easier shooting for the moon
Wise man, wise man, which way shall I run?
There's so many roads, so many ways to turn
I'm like a blind man, lost in the sun
I wanna be like you and be a wise man too
But I'm looking for an easy way to learn
Wise man, wise man, which way shall I run?
There's so many roads, so many ways to turn
I'm like a blind man, lost in the sun
I wanna be like you and be a wise man too
But I'm looking for an easy way to learn
Oh, wise man, oh, wise man, yeah
I wanna be like you, yeah and be a wise man too, ohh
I wanna be like you and be a wise man too
I wanna be like you
Hey, wise man, wise man, which way shall I run?
There's so many roads, so many ways to turn
I am like a blind man, lost in the sun
I wanna be like you and be a wise man too
I wanna be like you and be a wise man too
But I'm looking for, easy way
18.Carry On (Single Edit)
Lyricist:Kenneth William Hensley
Carry on
Carry on
So what can I do
What can I say?
Do I have to stand
And watch you walk away?
I know there's got
To be a better way
I just can't go on
Living for today
I thought I heard a voice
Out on the wind
And I'm sure I heard it say
I'd find a friend
And it said I'd find
The answers in the end
All I gotta do
Is carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
The time is flyin'
You need another love
Maybe another town
Carry on, carry on
Don't wait until your hope is gone
When your last
Chance comes around
I'm gonna keep on lookin'
I won't quit
Aggravation
It ain't gonna hurt a bit
I believe that
I have seen the last of it
There's nothing left to do
But carry on
Carry on
Carry on
Carry on
19.Woman of The Nigh
(Box/Lawton/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 the waiting game
But you won't stop the things you do
Some night the evil get to you
20.One More Night (Last Farewell)
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
