3. Solo Album:



BABY FACED KILLER (David Byron/Daniel Boone)

I will give you lace and diamond
If that's how it has to be
Shower you with my affections
Be around you constantly
If you think that you can lose me
You are in a world apart
'Cause given just the smallest moment
I will surely steal your heart

I am aware that I don't compare
To magazine fantasies seen everywhere
But don't let me in
'Cause really I'm a baby faced killer
Don't be surprised when
I look in your eyes
If images change in their shape
And their size
'Cause you're under the spell
The spell of the baby faced killer

I would like to be a spider
Hanging from your bedroom wall
Watching you go through your motions
Seeing you reveal your all
But I am a mere mortal
And I have no such disguise
So I'll have to use the power
That exists within my eyes



RICH MAN'S LADY (David Byron/Daniel Boone)

Here she comes again
Without a steady guy
Will she look at me will she pass me by
I ain't got no money it's a crying shame
'Cause if I don't win this time
I got myself to blame
She'll let you kiss and mess around
Provided that you spread
Your bread around

'Cause she's a rich man's lady
And I ain't got a dime
As she's a rich man's lady
And have to pass her up this time

Should I take the chance
Should I say hello
Would I look a fool
Will she turn and go
I'd really like to know her
'Cause she's really fine
But as I'm stone broke
I doubt if she will be mine
That's the way the story goes
She's really into money and it shows



SLEEPLESS NIGHTS (David Byron/Daniel Boone)

Sleepless nights ...

Sleepless nights
Are catching up on me
Sleepless nights
I'm tired as I can be
Since you've been gone
I find I've lost my piece of mind
And I know I won't unwind
Sleepless nights

I've tried to reason why I'm all alone
I'm sure we'll work it out 
If you'd come home
And then if you weren't sure
If it could work out just once more
You could slam the door
And leave me sleepless nights

I can remember a love so fine
But then I went and messed around
And lost the only love I've ever found



AFRICAN BREEZE (David Byron/Daniel Boone)

When the sound of the drums
Is as dark as the sky 
Dancers are moving
So fast they can fly
I just sit all alone on a natural high
With the African breeze

Fever is coming and
Eyes getting blazed
The smell of the night sets
The whole place ablaze
Sit all alone, casually gaze
With the African breeze

On the African breeze
African breeze

I can smell, I can feel
The African night and my senses
Are reaching a new kind of high
And I know that the feeling
I'm getting is right
With the African breeze

This morning is easing me
Out of the spell
Got the African breeze
It's been feeling so well
I can return with a story to tell
Of the African breeze



EVERYBODY'S STAR (David Byron/Daniel Boone)

I left you standing there
At gate number 27
Trying to find the perfect words to say
See, I've got to be in Phoenix and
I simply cannot find the time to stay

I am a rock 'n' roller
And it takes a lot to bowl me over
But you came along and
Turned me upside down
Just holding hands, biting lips
Is moving me so much
Shakes the ground

But it will be alright
When I call you late tonight
You can say the things
That it's hard to say right now
Yes, it will be alright
Just look at that star
That's shining bright
'Cause tonight I'm gonna be
Everybody's star but my heart
Will be right there with you
Where you are

My occupation makes it difficult
To say when I'll be free
To do whatever comes along
See, I'm half-blinded by the lights
That pick me out so bright
When I sing my song

I do my gig each night
And most of the time I get it right
So the people want to
See me back again
So please don't tell nobody
That this rock'n'roll is
Driving me insane

'Cause tonight I'm gonna be
Everybody's star but my heart
Will be right there with you
Where you are



HEAVEN OR HELL (David Byron/Daniel Boone)

I woke up cold this morning
To see another rainy day
And as I stopped my yawnin' 
I wished that I could get away
There's nothing left to live for
Or that's the way it seems to be
You coud have tried to give more
But that's the way it had to be

Am I in Heaven, am I in Hell
Am I in Heaven, or am I in Hell

I had to make my mind up
But I just could not find my way
'Cause every door I opened
Just led me back to my dismay
Here comes another evening
And I have yet to win the fight
The question's never answered
It's either lost or out of sight

Am I in Heaven or am I in Hell ...
Where am I? ...



ONLY YOU CAN DO IT (David Byron/Daniel Boone)

Hey, each time I see you cry
I really wish that I could
Somehow get it through
I'm true to you

Hey, I'd like to let you know
It hurts each time you go
And so it really goes to show

Only you can do it
Make me laugh and cry
Only you can do it
So what's the reason why oh why ...

Say, I really wish you would
Come just like you should
'Cause I can't explain the way
I feel for you

Say, would you consider this
To leave without your kiss
Would be a livin' misery

'Cause only you can do it
Make me laugh and cry
Only you can do it
So what's the reason why oh why ...



DON'T LET ME DOWN (David Byron/Daniel Boone)

I've been lookin' around and
I think that I've found a little lady
With her feet on the ground
'Cause in a world of
Ever-changing times you need
Someone to pull you through
When nothing rhymes

'Cause it's a hard fightin'
Sometimes frightenin' world we're in
So every now and then
A love becomes a friend
Somebody that you can believe in

So don't let me down
Now that I've found that I love you
Love you
Don't let me down
I wouldn't put no-one above you
I've been waiting for
A long, long time
To overcome the past
And lay it on the line
So don't let me down
This time around

I've been crazy to think
That we couldn't go wrong
We'll have to see
If we can both get along
The only thing to do
Is really try and make
The future bright for you and I

'Cause it's a hard fightin'
Sometimes frightenin' world we're in
But I believe in you and know
We'll make it through
'Cause I know that we're
Right for each other



ACETYLENE JANE (David Byron/Daniel Boone)

Well, she's a dirty little lady
With an evil eye
And she gets a little crazy
When she's feeling high
She walks into banks
With her acetylene gun
And burns through
The armoured windows just for fun
She leaves everybody
Laying on the ground and
Tip-tip-tiptoes out of town

Acetylene Jean
She's gonna set you aflame
Look out, she's real mean
So just remember her name
Acetylene Jean
Such an innocent face
Cutest you've ever seen
Acetylene Jean
She's alright

She looks like an angel
But she's evil inside
And the fact that she's
The devil's queen ain't been denied
And everytime we hang around
She's waiting for the pay
But when she steams right in
And blows them all away
'Cause when she feels unkind
She sets her torch alight and
Boot-boot-bootheels out of sight

Acetylene Jean
She's gonna set you aflame
Look out, she's real mean
So just remember her name
Acetylene Jean
You're such an innocent face
Prettiest you've ever seen
Acetylene Jean



I REMEMBER (David Byron/Daniel Boone)

I can talk about it now
Because I'm free

Didn't I say just a moment ago
All of my life has been
Just like a show
Always impatient and ready to go
I remember

I've been 'round the world
With a whole bunch of clowns
Seen all of the cities
And most of the towns
We had our ups and
Plenty of downs
I remember

I can talk about it now
Because I'm free
But I'll always be the same old me

Playing my music is all I can do
To say all the things
That is possible to
But sometimes I thought that
I wouldn't pull through
I remember

So I'll carry on for as long as I can
With hardly a reason
And never a plan
'Cause I'll be contented
If I stay the man
I remember well



B-sides of singles:

DOWN ON MY LUCK (David Byron/Daniel Boone)
B-side of 'African Breeze' single

I've been up, I've been down
I could say in my own kinda way
That I've been around

I've been in and I've been out
So believe me when I say
I know what I'm talking about

So you can you burn and beat me
You can lie and cheat me
But you'll never see me
Down on my luck
'Cause you're kind of lyin's
Something I ain't buying
No, you'll never see me
Down on my luck
On my luck, on my luck, on my luck
On my luck, on my luck, on my luck
Never see me down on my luck

I've been high and I've been low
But no matter what happened
I always had somewhere to go
I've been out but I came back
And I've always been able
To pull out an ace from the pack

So you can you burn and beat me
You can lie and cheat me
But you'll never see me
Down on my luck
'Cause you're kinda liar
Something I ain't buying
No, you'll never see me
Down on my luck

So you can you burn and beat me
You can lie and cheat me
But you'll never see me
Down on my luck
'Cause you're kinda liar
Something I ain't buying
No, you'll never, never, never, never
Never see me down on my luck!



ALL IN YOUR MIND (David Byron/Daniel Boone)
B-side of 'Rich Man's Lady' single

Think of the things
That you do just for me
Love me in so many ways
Yes, in the past I've been bad
I agree, but now 
I'm a fool with no stage

And it's all in your mind
Love's hard to find
So don't believe what
everybody says about you 
I'll never need you to tell me 
'cause I'm nearly gonna 
do without you
All in your mind
So whine, whine, whine
Just let yourself 
you're old enough 
to give me a lesson 
the ones who really show you 
That's it's all in your mind

Think of the things
That I've done just for you
Before you decide where I stand
Worried awake stay and
Think what you do
Whole of my world's in your hands
