13. studio album NO RETURN (Mick Box/Trevor Bolder/Ken Hensley) Chorus: I'm at the point of no return I'm watching the candle burn - both ends There's a lesson we both can learn - this time So if you wanna make my day There's something you've gotta say Now please don't laugh and turn away - this time I don't wanna make a fuss But this is the time for us And I ain't gonna miss the bus - this time No return So there'll be no turning back once I know that you'll be by my side No return Maybe you'll give me all the love That you always felt you had to hide No return I've come a thousand miles across the ocean But that ain't half as far as my emotion And now I've reached the point of no return While on my way down the avenue I had to stop for a drink or two - or three Now not that I was stalling you - for time It's just I wanted to feel my best And I almost passed the test I need your lovin' to do the rest - this time No return So please don't ever do what you've done So many times before No return Because I've made up my mind that this time I'll make it thru' your door No return I rose above the clouds so far below me But didn't get as high as when you hold me And now I've reached the point of no return I'm at the point of no return I'm watching the candle burn - both ends There's a lesson we both can learn - this time I don't wanna make a fuss But this is the time for us And I ain't gonna miss the bus - this time IMAGINATION (Ken Hensley) Sometimes I'm certain, sometimes my mind is filled with doubt Some thoughts lay heavy here sometimes I think it's figured out Imagination, endless voyage of discovery I'm at once impatient and afraid some day you may walk out on me At least when you're with me, I'm not afraid to live with mystery For I'm sure you know how sad one night without a dream can be Imagination, bitter-sweet companion as my time flies by Love-hate relation, hand in hand toward infinity Chorus: Lead me here, lead me there Everywhere if you really dare Today, tonight, tomorrow You don't have to take my hand I'll take it just the way it's planned Lead on, speed on, I'll follow When you see me coming, you're gonna know I'm not alone Me and my imagination We'll be side by side any way the wind is blown Love songs and fantasies, they've kept us busy Since the day we met But each new horizon, only reminds us it's not over yet Lead me here, etc. FEELINGS (Ken Hensley) Chorus: Feelings, empty feelings Prayin', hopin', needin' Just when I wanted to hold you You're leavin', leavin', leavin' I remember those magic nights Those nights when it all seemed right But I knew that by mornin' yaou'd be gone And though you tell me that it's not for long It ain't easy here holdin' on You gotta tell me where I stand 'Cause either you don't give a damn Or you don't even care to pretend Or you won't spare a thought Though you know it must come to an end You'd better know that I've made up my mind I gotta high of a different kind And it's gonna take me where I wanna be Sure I'll miss ya but I gotta choose You can't believe that I came here to lose And you ain't a winner that's easy to see So I'll see you around or I'll write And I'll send you some love 'Cause where I wanna go there ain't nothing to do but move Chorus: Feelings, empty feelings Prayin', hopin', needin' Just when I wanted to hold you You're leavin', leavin', leavin' FOOLS (Trevor Bolder) Fools play at games don't you know that fools play at games And I know that I'm not afraid of you I know this feeling inside has just made up my mind I'm gonna take this chance and do what's in my heart You always said that you'd stand by me and help me get along So understand I must do what's in my heart I know this feeling inside has helped me to carry on So as the days go by and the nights that never end You play the clubs and you play the game The next day you will find You'll have to try and please that fool again Day after day I feel this way that I need to be moving on You know I depend on you, but don't get me wrong I'll throw the dice and play the game and hope we get along Even then I won't be fooled again So I've read your words and I've signed my name But I can't make up my mind If you really care or you're playing your games CARRY ON (Trevor Bolder/Mick Box/Ken Hensley) 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 the time is flyin' You need another love maybe another town Carry on carry on Don't wait until your hope has gone When your last chance comes round I'm gonna keep on looking I won't quit Aggravation, it ain't gonna hurt a bit And I believe that I have seen the last of it There's nothing left to do but carry on WON'T HAVE TO WAIT TOO LONG (Trevor Bolder/Mick Box/Ken Hensley) It's a quatter to seven on a Saturday morning I open my eyes after die Friday night I don't worry about the rain upon my window Cos where I'm going I know the sun will always shine So now I'm heading away down to Rio de Janeiro I'll be leaving all my lonely times behind And if I'm looking for love in Rio de Janeiro There'll be someone there I know who'll find the time In this golden place, there's a smiling face I've got to find And I wont have to wait too long before she's mine My friends are telling me I'm chasing rainbows Or searching for the gold beneath the sea Bur rainbows only shine when it's been raining And gold can never keep you company So now I'm wondrin' what to say in conversation To the lady of my dreams that I should meet If I speak to her in die language of all nations Then I'm sure that she'd be knocked right off her feet And I know she will, then I'll love her till The end of time And I won't have to wait too long before she's mine Well I've been happy enough in Rio de Janeiro I've got a woman here that I can call my own But it doesn't matter if I'm living here or there-o 'Cos she used to live next door to me back home But if you're thinking that've settled down forever I'll be telling you, you've made a big mistake 'Cos I'll be heading away down to Denver, Colorado There's woman there l've got to try and make She can fill the hole, in my heart and soul For a long long time And now I won't have to wait too long before she's mine OUT ON THE STREET (Ken Hensley) Out on the street, dead on my feet At the mercy of the stone-cold night It's hard to compete, in a dead-end street With frustration in your line of sight Do you ever stop and think Do you ever stop at all Do you have the time to feel And if you do, do you know the feeling's real Followed a sign that pointed the way And I found myself right back at the start I like to feel good, I've tried feeling sad But I can't stand a broken heart Don't wanna wait till my dyin' day to realise I guess I'm lucky in a strange kind of way 'Cause it's clear before my eyes A grey cloud they say hides a surprise But it rained until I lost my belief Just close your eyes and we'll show you the way But I believe I've lost my faith One man speaks and one man does while another soul wields the sword I hear you all but I still can't see just who it is Who speaks the chosen word IT AIN'T EASY (Trevor Bolder) You make it all sound easy, now you've tasted all my wine I never wanted to hear the news, that you'd found another man But it's hard to see what you want from me It's not easy to be in-between It's now up to you to make the move this time Monday morning's waiting Take a look at what you see Make the most of your life Don't keep the pages clean Baby, now you've got this chance Don't leave me out It's so hard when you're in-between What you need and what may never be It ain't easy when you don't know where to turn And it ain't easy but you take the chance The final chance to learn, yes to learn That it ain't easy when you don't know where to turn And it ain't easy, so take a look Another look at life, look at life 'Cos it ain't what you've got in the palm of your hand And it's not what you'll get from another man That will last you the rest of your life my friend Bonus tracks: BEEN HURT (Ken Hensley) At the age of eighteen I had had enough And by twenty-one I decided to get tough And then I found the guard Was still too rough And I've been hurt Ever since that day I've been hurt And I've lost my way And still think I have a chance To find your love Well, I tried to love you One day at a time Each day waiting, hoping for the sign It was clear I needed luck More than this time And I've been hurt Ever since that day I've been hurt Well, I've lost my way And still think I have a chance To make you mine My empty heart is Counting all the ways Fire and desire Sat and count days Will you, won't you When and where Do you, don't you, do I care That same eternal question Is always there It's always there LOVE STEALER (Phil Wainman/Trevor Bolder) She's got an eye on you There's nowhere to hide She keeps her motives still Deep down inside She shows no mercy, no She plays it rough She don't want your money She just wants to love Love stealer, raw dealer Heart breaker, love taker She walks in the shadows As she waits for the night She gets what she's looking for She knows how to fight If you see her coming Then you'd better know If your love's for the taking She'll steal the show She just can't go round there first Facing the joint Then she'll move in And get right to the point So keep your love locked away Don't let it show Or the love stealer will rock you For more than you'll know THINK IT OVER (John Sloman/Trevor Bolder) (1982) Abominog I've had all I can take I've taken just too much I've made a big mistake That put me out of touch I don't think I can face Another single day Without a companion To take this pain away So many tears ago It's then you walked away It could've been the end But I knew babe I had to tell myself There'll be another day She wants to go to glench But don't you know Can't you see There's a chance for you and me Think it over Don't believe In the things that may not be Think it over I got to think it over Forgetting the result I can't give it in Whisper startle you But it's not over You have to face the truth I'm still in love with you I have to make you see But it's not over I got to think about it baby MY JOANNA NEEDS TUNNING (John Sloman/Trevor Bolder/Mick Box/Gregg Dechert/Chris Slade) I was waiting for somebody This afternoon Hope that she remembered Our rendezvouz And when she didn't show Just like yesterday I do the last, I'll find another way One night I saw the stranger Across the hall I knew he was the reason Why she didn't call I wish I had imagined Or dreamt the lot But the heart didn't choose The pain I've got Now she' turning me inside out Upside down And me heart is all a roundabout Spinnin' round She's turnin' me inside out Inside out She's turnin' me inside out Inside out Now he's got all so melt With a diamond ring And she was thinking through Almost anything She's like a shadow going up Seventh avenue But so what, she's only going Where she's didn't to I just got one thing to say Just before I go Since he was the offender I want her to know Now my mind has got me the day I'm watching to I'll never raise a thought Of what she'd done Now she' turning me inside out Upside down And me heart is all a roundabout Spinnin' round She's turnin' me inside out Inside out She's turnin' me inside out Inside out LYING (Ken Hensley/John Sloman/Trevor Bolder/Chris Slade) Don't let love make a fool of you Love is made to telling truth Than never any lies Came to me by seeing truth In each other's eyes Each other's eyes What can of a fool do you think I am? Cause I have no money Does it mean I'm half a man? You know that I will give you all Give you all that I can You're lying, telling me what I should be You're lying, telling everyone it's me You're lying, telling me what I should be You're lying, lying, lying, lying ... Telling lies can only break you in two You tell the biggest solo What do you hope to gain? If I were you then I would Try to make amends I'll tell all my friends You living in a world of dreams But it's too late to change Your way of life, it seems So you just carry on The best way you know how You know how You're lying, telling me what I should be You're lying, telling everyone it's me You're lying, telling me what I should be You're lying, lying, lying, lying ...
