Uriah Heep - Revelations/ The Uriah Heep Anthology [compilation] (2004) by Uriah Heep (보컬) on maniadb.com

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 qypsy 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

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

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
Oh, the time is right for your role
Yeah, or 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 wills
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 a 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

She came to me one morning
one lonely Sunday morning
her long hair flowing
in the mid winter wind
I know not how she found me
for in darkness I was walking
and destruction lay around me
from a fight I could not win

She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
to fight and kill their brothers
without thought of men or god
And I begged her give me
horses to trample down my enemies
so eager was my passion to devour
this waste of life

But she would not think of battle
that reduces men to animals
so easy to begin
and yet impossible to end
For she the mother of all men
had counciled me so wisely that
I feared to walk alone again
and asked if she would stay

Oh lady lend your hand I cried
Oh let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust in me
she said and filled
my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers
I've no such misconceptions
But when you need me be assured
I won't be far away

Thus having spoke she turned away
and though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until
I saw her black cloak disappear
My labor is no easier
but now I know I'm not alone
I find new heart each time
I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you
drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her as your prize
and say hello for me

There I was on a July morning
Looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

At the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
And a road of my own

With the day came the resolution
I'll be looking for you
La la la la …

I was looking for love
In the strangest places
Wasn't a stone
That I left unturned
Must have tried more
Than a thousand faces
But not one was aware
Of the fire that burned

In my heart, in my mind, in my soul
La la la la …

There I was on a July morning
I was looking for love
With the strength
Of a new day dawning
And the beautiful sun

And at the sound
Of the first bird singing
I was leaving for home
With the storm
And the night behind me
Yeah, and a road of my own

LOOK AT YOURSELF

I see you running
Don't know what
You're running from
Nobody's coming
What'd you do that was so wrong

Look back and turn back
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself

If you need assistance
Or if all you need is love
There's no point in hiding
Tell me what you're frightened of

You've got a friend, just
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself

He was the wizard of a thousand kings
and a chance to meet him one night wondering.
He told me tales and he drank my wine.
Me and my magic man kinda feeling fine.

He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire.
And as he spoke I felt a deep desire
to free the world of its fear and pain
and help the people to feel free again.

Why don't we listen to the voices in our hearts?
Cause then I know we'll find we're not so far apart.
Everybody's got to be happy, everyone should see.
For we know the joy of life and peace that love can bring.

So spoke the wizard in his mountain home.
The vision of his wisdom means we'll never be alone.
And I will dream of my magic night
and the million silver stars that guide me with their light

This is a thing I have
Never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've
Never seen before
And I've been forgiven

Easy livin?and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
Your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on that windy road
I had walked behind you

Easy livin?and I've been forgiven
Since you've taken
Your place in my heart

Waiting, watching
Wishing my whole life away
Dreaming, thinking
Ready for my happy day
And some easy livin'

Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide.
I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride.

Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah
oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah.

Well, there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine.
I don't need no food, no water, Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time.

Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave.
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'. nothing left to save
but my life.

Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah
oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah.

Stood on a ridge and stunned religion thinking the world was mine.
I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying.

All that fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to an early grave.
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save
but my life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life.

So I stood on a ridge and stunned religion thinking the world was mine.
I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying.
I was stealing when I should have been buying,
I was stealing when I should have been buying.
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING woo
STEALING hahaha, yeh
I was STEALING when I should have been buying
STEALING oh yeh yeh yeh yeh yeh
STEALING oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
STEALING rock'n'roll, alright
STEALING rock'n'roll, alright
STEALING babe, babe
STEALING should, should, should have been buying
STEALING should, should, should have been buying
STEALING should have, should have, should have been buying
STEALING buying, yeah

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 ?

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 they cared to look
Then they would see
It's just our return to fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy ?

Travelling faster than lightening
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

Wind it up, here comes the video
It's that song again
Turn it up, it's on the radio
Charge me up, I got electric eyes
I won't fall down
Light me up
Just like a christmas tree
Or am I seeing things
Wind it up, turn it up
Charge me up, never stop
Wind me up, plug me in, turn me on
And give me rock'n'roll
Give me rock'n'roll
Strap me in to the rocket ship
I'm headin' for the sun
Tune me in to the mother ship
I must be seeing things
Wind it up, turn it up
Charge me up, please don't stop
Wind me up, plug me in, turn me on
And give me rock'n'roll
Rockarama, it's on the video
Rockarama on my radio
Rockarama on the stereo
Give me rock'n'roll ...
Plug me in jack to jack
Pin me to the wall
Hey leave that on, I'm on MTV
Now I'm seein' things
Wind it up, here comes that video
It's that song again
Turn me up, I'm on the radio
Or am I hearing things
Wind it up, turn it up
Charge me up, don't you stop
Wind me up, plug me in, turn me on
Give me rock'n'roll
Rockarama, it's on the video
Rockarama on my radio
Rockarama on the stereo
Give me rock'n'roll
Give me rock'n'roll
Rockarama, it's on the video
Rockarama on my radio
Rockarama on my stereo
Give me rock'n'roll ...
