Uriah Heep : Return to Fantasy

Тексты песен


1. RETURN TO FANTASY

Searching every day
Looking every way
Trying to make a connection
To find a piece of the action
Like a hungry poet
Who doesn't know
He is close to perfection
Choice is the question
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if they cared to look, then they would see
It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy

Can you understand
That in every man
There's a need to unwind
That's never been defined
Somewhere deep within
There's another being
You are somehow abusing
By the person you're using
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if you care to look, then they would see
It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy

Travelling faster than lightning
Closer than ever before
We can go on for you, and take you nearer to
The legend of mystery from the beginning of time
Dreaming... TIME... Dreaming
We can return to the land of the good and the kind
TIME... Dreaming... TIME... Dreaming
Why don't you come to our party and open your minds

In another place
There's a newer face
Like an unfinished painting
Your creator is waiting
The brush and pen describe
What it is inside
That will set your mind thinking
While the others are sinking
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if they cared to look, then they would see
It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, oh yeah
Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy


2. SHADY LADY

Out from St. Louie, I wasn't choosy
I just wanted to get back on the road
I hitched in cars, and worked in bars
Lookin' for a place to lay down my load
I met a lady, a shady lady
And someone told her I was all on my own
She poured a beer and said "When I'm finished here
Hang around 'cause I'm taking you home

Don't worry I'll treat you all right
Don't worry you can stay all night"
And I thought it was any easy ride
But I didn't know where I was till I got inside

She said "Okay sonny, give me your money
And don't start any foolin' around"
I said "What?" I said "What
Don't you think you're turning me upside down"
She said "I don't care, I've been everywhere
And I've not been lookin' for you
But I'll take you in and give you a spin
You'll know some tricks by the time we get through"

Shady lady, you want it all your own way
Shady lady, you won't let go of your prey
Shady lady, eat me up and spit me out
But let's get started now I know what you're talkin' about

Now in the morning, as day was dawning
Shady asked me if I'd stay there awhile
I said "Stay? baby no way"
But I couldn't keep myself from a smile
I said "Now no bye-bye's, go in and dry your eyes
That ain't fittin' for a lady like you
Why not be smart, and give your life another start
But take care now whatever you do"

Shady lady I'm on my way
Shady lady we'll meet again one day
And don't worry 'cause when we do
I'm gonna make sure that there ain't very much left of you

I gotta get out! (repeat and fade w/vocal adlib)


3. DEVIL'S DAUGHTER

I don't believe in your kind of affection
You're takin' me in the wrong direction
Don't give me none of that holy water
Comin' on like you're the Devil's Daughter

Just take me to your chapel
Show me to your leader
Take me to your chapel
I wanna meet your leader, yeah!
C'mon!

How do you find the time to exist
I've got to keep my strength of mind to resist
Don't give me none of that holy water
Comin' on like you're the Devil's Daughter

Just take me to your chapel
Show me to your leader
Take me to your chapel
I wanna meet your leader, yeah
C'mon now, c'mon now, c'mon now and take me there

Oh yeah!
Where do you come from and where do you go
Can I touch without havin' to know
Well don't give me none of that holy water
Comin' on like you're the Devil's Daughter

Just take me to your chapel
Show me to your leader
C'mon take me to your chapel
I wanna meet your leader


4. BEAUTIFUL DREAM

Sail down the stream, such a beautiful dream
Never stopping never touching anything
Till dawn awakes you with a breath of the Spring

Far from the crowds, way above the clouds
We can take you to the edge of the day
And show you living in a new kind of way We'll take you floating to
A sea of morning dew
Where everyone's the same
And no one knows your name
And there you'll see that you can
Live your life to the extreme
Such a beautiful dream We'll take you floating to
A sea of morning dew
Where everyone's the same
And no one knows your name
And there you'll see that you can
Live your life to the extreme
Such a beautiful dream
Such a beautiful dream
Such a beautiful dream
(repeat w/ vocal adlib to fade)


5. PRIMA DONNA

I'll go down fighting but I'd rather be delightin'
All the people who come to see
The Devil's from Chicago, now where the hell do they go
When we get in our limousines

'Cause we just want to be, where it's all going on
But tell me what do you do when it's over and everyone who loved you is gone
They're gone, I said they're gone

You're our kind of people you're the church and we're the steeple
But we're all inside the hall
If we've got what you need then we'll give you the speed
To get up and have a ball

'Cause we just want to be yeah where it's all going on
But tell me what do you do when it's over and everyone who loved you is gone

You're just another Prima Donna of rock 'n' roll
So please let me know when you want me to go

You're our kind of people you're the church and we're the steeple
But we're all inside the hall
If we've got what you need then we'll give you the speed
To get up and have a ball

'Cause we just want to be where it's all going on
But tell me what do you do when it's over and everyone who loved you is gone

You're just another Prima Donna of rock 'n' roll
So please let me know when you want me to go
(repeat w/ vocal adlib)


6. YOUR TURN TO REMEMBER

I was always the one who did the thinkin'
It was me, I'm sorry I, who made the plans
There was never a thought we might do somethin' between us
And it's so clear I think I'm beginning to understand
I was the one who had to lay it out and pay it out
I would work all night even though I wanted to play out and stay out

Now it's your turn to remember
And it's your turn to try to understand
But you never would, would'ya?

When the time came for staying together
You refused to even talk about forever
It was easy tellin' me you love me
And I was a little late in finding out the truth
The rule of love was there you had to bend it
Now the damage is done it's impossible to mend it
I can't mend it

Now it's your turn to remember
It's your turn to feel a little pain, yeah

I feel a little better
Talking about her yet her
Memory's not good for me
The skies are not so grey now
I've found a new tune to play now
It's a better song
It'll be followin' on

And when the time came for stayin' together
You refused to even talk about forever
It was easy tellin' me you love me
And I was a little late in finding out the truth
The rule of love was there but you had to bend it
Now the damage is done it's impossible to mend it
You know I can't mend it

Now it's your turn to remember
It's your turn to feel a little pain
C'mon baby

It's your turn to remember
Your turn to feel a little pain
(repeat to fade out)


7. SHOWDOWN

It's gonna happen before too long
It's getting hard to tell who's right and who's wrong
I can see it coming so I gotta be strong

There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be changes in this town
We're gonna see a showdown

A time's gonna come in the future when
A whole lotta people gonna think again
We're gonna keep right on till you break and then

There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be changes in this town
We're gonna see a showdown

Do you want to be out of touch, only you can decide
For something different you're out of luck
'Cause on we will ride on, we're gonna ride, ride on!
Oooh ride on! C'mon!

The music explodes like a gun in your hand
We're gonna give you more than your head can stand
Then we'll sit down and talk man to man

There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be changes in this town
We're gonna see a showdown

There's gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be changes in this town
We're gonna see a showdown

Showdown, showdown
(repeat to fade)


8. WHY DID YOU GO

I woke up today with my head in a daze
'Cause my love had gone
With nothing to do, just to dream about you
And how we went wrong

But oh
Why did you go
I loved you so
Didn't you know

I walk into town with my head hanging down
Tryin' to hide my pain
The people I meet, as I float down the street
Tell me try, try again

But oh
Why did you go
I loved you so
Didn't you know

When I remember how good it was
It makes me cry
'Cause my life's been turned upside down
All I want is someone, but how do you say
Please will you stay
Please will you stay

I'll settle down to the life of a clown
To remain alive
Work till I bleed, and if I can succeed
Maybe I'll survive

But oh
Why did you go
I loved you so
Didn't you know

Oh
Why did you go
I loved you so
Didn't you know


9. A YEAR OR A DAY

Seen from a height of a thousand miles the earth
looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day
but we can't find the things we need

Young man said the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead in a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test
Test, test, TEST!

The day of creation was our finest hour it's
something we ought to defend
But it's been so abused since the first day of light
that no glory can come in the end

Young man cried the old man
There is victory in staying alive
And if you care so little for the world we're in
Why and what do you want to survive

Can't we try to let the past go by, with its lessons firmly
settled in our minds
To our children one by one and before the darkness comes
let us leave a world full of light of a different kind

In truth they should meet and with love their hearts should beat
And with patience solve the problems of our time
It wouldn't be so hard to do, it's only up to me and you
Let us not bequeath a life that is a crime

Seen from a height of a thousand miles the earth
looks the same as it did
How is it we can fly faster than day
but we can't find the things we need

Young man cried the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead in a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test whoa

Young man cried the old man
Let the youth in your heart be at rest
We may all be dead in a year or a day
When the devil is put to the test whoa

Young man, young man
(repeat to fade)
