1.Bird of Prey
Lyricist:Michael Frederick Box, David Byron, Paul Newton
Ooh ho
Oh ho aww
I can see that look that says beware
Try to move in closer if you dare
So I must sit and play my waiting game
And for a while I know should do the same
Fly away
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Watches like an eagle from its tree
Then like a bird of prey she captures me
But I am older and more wise than you
Bird of prey straight into me you flew
Fly away
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Now every time I try to set her free yea!
(Ooh)
I'm glad to say she comes right back to me
(Ah)
But if I knew she didn't want to stay yea!
(Ooh ah)
I wouldn't try to keep that lovely bird of prey
(Ooh ah)
(Ooh ah)
2.Come Away Melinda
Lyricist:Fred Hellerman, Fran Minkoff
Daddy, daddy, come and look
See what I have found
A little ways away from here
While digging in the ground
Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture-book
They had before the war
Daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, come and look
Why there's four or five
Little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book
Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war
Oh daddy, daddy, come and see
Daddy, hurry do
Why, there's someone in a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you
Won't you tell me, why?
Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
That someone is your mummy
You had before the war
Daddy, daddy, tell me if you can
Why can't things be
The way they were
Before the war began?
Come away, Melinda
Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war
3.Dreammare
Lyricist:Paul Newton
Grinning demons smiling sideways
Laughing in my face
Here within my troubled sleep
There's such a lonely place
Running fast but never moving
I can't get away
Strange but realistic objects
Making me their prey
Then it's gone as fast as it came
Evil dream
Changing like the sun turns to rain
It would seem
Dining with the gods of beauty
On a distant shore
Tasting fruits of untold sweetness
Never seen before
Dancing stars with crystal voices
Beckon with their eyes
Unicorn of many colors
Rides to paradise
Then it's gone as fast as it came
Peaceful scene
Changing like the sun turns to rain
It would seem
Sleepless nights that last a lifetime
Crucify my head
Dreams of peace and then disaster
Wish that I were dead
Looking for the end of darkness
Seeking out the day
For escape with sweeter thought of
Bearing me away
Then it's gone as fast as it came
Evil dream
Changing like the sun turns to rain
It would seem
Come into my dream
4.Gypsy
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, I want 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
5.I'll Keep on Trying
Lyricist:Michael Frederick Box, David John Byron
Oh oh
You came to me with all of your lies
And I was taken in so well
Took me quite a time to see the disguise
You made it very hard to tell
Now here you are again but you're beggin' in vain
'Cause I really don't want to know
Oh oh
You came to me with a little bit of charm
You had me down on my knees
I didn't really think there was any harm
But all you ever did was tease
You took all the love that I ever had to give
And there was nothing left to show
Oh oh
Well I remember everything, everything around me
The long dark winter till the breath of spring
Came close enough to drown me
So I'm gonna keep on trying till I feel like dying
And I lay down and pass away
But that won't happen till tomorrow and by then I can borrow
another day
So I'm gonna keep on trying, yea
You came to me with a little bit of charm
And you had me down on my knees
I didn't really think there was any harm
But all you ever did was tease
You took all the love that I ever had to give
And there was nothing left to show
Oh oh
6.Real Turned On
Lyricist:Michael Box, David Byron, Paul Newton
Girl before you go now
There's one thing I wanted to do
I said I'd take you back
'Cause I want to make love to you
You got me real turned on
Yes you have
But there's something in your eyes
Telling me you have to go, yeah
Something in your eyes
But you're trying not to let it show, yeah
You got me real turned on
Next time you come over
I'll buy you a bottle of wine
Just take a little drink
And everything will turn out fine, yes it will
Whoa baby, do you know
What I've got in mind?
Can you guess what it is
Or do you want it underlined?
You got me real turned
Got me real turned
Got me real turned
Got me real turned on
7.Wake up (Set Your Sights)
Lyricist:Mick Box, David Byron
Oh yeah
Wake up, set your sights for never shall we fail
Stand up for your rights and justice will prevail
You're listening through endless nights
And decision is your goal
So wake up, set your sights for the time is right for your role
Yeah, for your role
Wake up, wake up, wake up, set your sights
Never, never, never shall we fail
Stand up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Justice, justice, justice will prevail
There in the morning, flying over the hills
While men are yawning they are crushed by our wheels
Never have I witnessed people in fear
Not like today, not in many a year
Go kill another, there are more close behind
No screams of mother, are you out of your mind?
Though they are shattered they just don't seem to yield
Bodies are scattered in all parts of the field
Oh no! Did I tell you what would happen if you tried?
'Oh God, stop this killing!' said a young man before he died
Wake up, set your sights for never shall we fail
Stand up for your rights and justice will prevail
8.Walking in Your Shadow
Lyricist:David Byron, Paul Newton
I'm walking in your shadow
Ever since you went away
And the clock on the wall
Really hasn't very much to say
Oh, you left me bleeding
And left me needing, you
In so very many ways
I was trying to attract your mind
But I'm the lonely one
'Cause I had to leave it all behind
Lied and deceiving
Why should I be grieving, you?
Oh yeah
Ride on a golden wing
Set sail for the sun
Make every cloud your slave
Don't be alone, oh
When I get back from my trip
Of the ocean wide
Still walking in your shadow
And still looking for somewhere to hide
If I am worse off
It's all because of, you
It's all because of you
Ride on a golden wing
Set sail for the sun
Make every cloud your slave
Don't be alone
When I get back from my trip
Of the ocean wide
Still walking in your shadow
And still looking for somewhere to hide
If I am worse off
It's all because of you
It's all because of you, yeah, yeah
