BLOOD ON STONE (Trevor Bolder)

His blood's on stone
It's running down from the frozen wall
His hand's so cold
He's trying not to fall 
Oh will he make it now
One slip and he's lost
It's his last chance for freedom 
It's all that he's got

He feels good, so right
Hot sweat on a cold night
Breaking free into the wind
He's got nothing to lose - just win 

He's just a runaway
But he's free now and on his way
He's just a runaway
He's free now and on his way

He's almost home
Just one push and he'll take this wall
It's blood on stone
From trying not to fall 
He's made it now
To where others have not
Just one last jump to freedom 
Is all that he has got

WHICH WAY WILL THE WIND BLOW (Trevor Bolder)

People on the sidewalk
Making small talk
Ooh, keeping up with the life
Ask no questions

Make no decisions
Just do what's right

Ooh, do you wanna runaway
Ooh, do you wanna breakaway

Someone's screamin', calling out for help
But everyone looks after themselves
No one cares a gives a damn
How can we live in this land

Ooh, do you wanna runaway
Ooh, do you wanna breakaway

Are you looking out for you
One hand can change this world it's true
Some will stay,some must go
But do they really know
Ooh, which way the winds blow
Which way will the seas flow
Which way with time
Ooh, which way will the world turn
Who's hand will control it
In our time

With our hands on eyes
Fingers in our ears
We've been like this for too many years
Letting others do what they do
Without asking if it's good for you

Ooh, do you wanna runaway
Ooh, do you wanna breakaway

Turn it round
Plug it in, turn up sound
Let's hear what's in your head
Before it's too late to be said

Ooh, do you wanna runaway
Ooh, do you wanna breakaway

Are you looking out for you
One hand can change this world it's true
Some will stay,some must go
But do they really know

ALL GOD'S CHILDREN (Mick Box/Phil Lanzon)

Crazy litle whirlwind child
Pretty babies drive ya wild
Look like one, act like another 
Every night a different lover
Get affection where you can
Try a boy then try a man
First time love is in the past 
Make it young and make it fast

All God's children will have their say
All God's children must have their way

It's a game where you can cheat
Lovers falling at your feet
High on sensuality
A photographfor all to see

First time love is in the past
Make it young and make it fast
They can never get enough
Strong as death and sweet as love
They walk and talk like angels

[Stripe]

ALL FOR ONE (Trevor Bolder)

You think I'm crazy for wanting you
But you just hide away
Behind your untold truths
And so I sit and listen to your lonely wards, ooh
Another reason for you to be yourself

I can't be wrong for believing in you
The ice is melting
And the waves are breaking through
I see the fire burning in your heart tonight
There's only one way for me to forget

All for one, one for all
Strong In heart, body end soul
We were all for one, one for all
All for one, one for all
Nothing could stop us we had it all
We were all for one, one for all

I always knew you had dreams of your own
But I can't understand you
So many words, too much to say and
Nothing to hold on to
And so another day must end in this loneliness
Another reason, another time, I guess

[Stripe]

DIFFERENT WORLD (Mick Box/Phil Lanzon)

You can't stop a men from learning
I could write a book of love
Captured moments there between me and you
Then I had the thought of leavin'
It was a voice inside my head
Telling me I got to have the strenght to see it through

I know it's gonna break your heart
I know it's gonna break your heart

I'm living in the different world
And as I slipped away
I see you fade to black and white

I'm living in a different world
With all my hopes and dreams
I drift off in the night
I'm alone but I'm not lonely
I found something that I never had
Laying back in the easy chair's not the life for me
You think I'm your one and only
But you gamble with a restless man
In the end I've found the way that we can both be free

[Stripe]

STEP BY STEP (Trevor Bolder)

It's alright, its not wrong
To sometimes feel you're just hanging on 
On those days when your feelings are low
Don't hold back just let those feelings show

If you want my time and devotion
You've got give me some of your emotion
It's not too much too much to ask
If you want this love to last
Born with open eyes
But you're blinded by confusion
You're born with strenght inside

Oh, let's do it step by step
Into tommorrow
We can make it if we try
If you talk to me, walk with me
There's na reason why
We can do it step by step
Into tommorrow, with our open eyes
So come on talk to me, just walk with me
You can do it if you try
One step, one step at a time 
One heart beatin' with mine

Nothing gained, nothing ventured 
Nothing won, no risk no loss 
In this world of indecisions 
There's a bridge we all must cross

SEVEN DAYS (Mick Box/Phil Lanzon)

Don't care if the rain don't shine 
Don't care if the sun don't fall
You are the one in a million child
And you knew that I would call
Thoughts of you alone with me
I can't slow them down

But I can't get to sleep at night
Because you're not around

I can't wait
Seven days is along time
To be without you girl
I can't wait
Seven days is just too long
To be wating for you girl

I've tried every kind of distraction
But nothing will ease this pain
There's only one solution
So why do you make me wait
Got to say I didn't think that 
I could read your mind
But I can't get to sleep at night
Cos baby you're on mine

[Stripe]

FIRST TOUCH (Phil Lanzon)

I dreamed of all the wonders in the world
And lovers that I knew
I saw so many good things at one time
Mountains of emotion coming right into view

When I arose from my bed
I got that warm glow at the back of my head
First touch, feel the power hear the thunder
Over me

Then I dreamed about the tenderness we shared
And how it makes me feel
Like every first encounter that we have
When I think I must be dreamin' 
You tell me that it's real

And here you are in my bed
I get that warm glow at the back of my head

[Stripe]

ONE ON ONE (Mick Box/Phil Lanzon)

People say I run too fast
But they don't understand
I'm livin' out the best of times
The way I always planned
Ooh, little girl you got a dirty smile
Come along, walk with me
Down the golden mile
On my tongue the taste of love
Never felt so good
Easy come, no more leaving by the back door
One on one

I could like this forever
One on one
Take me all the way to Heaven
Wo-oh-oh-oh-oh
One on one
Love runs in so easily
One on one
All you give is what I need

Stone by stone, frame by frame
We got this love together
No more headache in my heart
No more under pressure
Ooh, babe with you I can do anything
Just a touch is not enough
With you it's everything
On my tongue the taste of love
Never felt so good
Easy come, no more leaving by the back door

[Stripe]

CROSS THAT LINE (Mick Box/Phil Lanzon)

What do you say to talk over dinner
Though we haven't spoken for a while
This time I won't take no for an answer
You can't hide forever - from your only son 
Let's take a seat right here by the window
I remember how you like the view
Now look me in the eye
The truth I wanna hear 

The time is right
There's a shadow hanging over me tonight

Tell me what you did now
Even though it hurts to say it
It's always been a mystery
Locked behind the door
Tell me if it's true now
Do you need the heart to say it
I always did my best for you
Don't you lie no more

You taught me the way to be a winner
And never to play on the losing side
I guess that I turned out the way you always planned 

So hard, to cross that line
But the words have got to come from you this time

[Stripe]

Bonus tracks:

STAND BACK (Mick Box/Phil Lanzon)

I see him coming
He's out to get you
He'll get us fooling your door
You've got a letter
From the sisters of mercy
They can't have you no more

Temptation, such sweet song
That burns inside
One rhythm, one power
One drain of blood left you dry

I see you there
Before the dancin' visions
So many stars in your eyes
You've got it all
But you ain't seen nothing
How can you be so blind

Stand back
Make way for the zodiac boy
Stand back
I'm gonna take you
To the other side
Stand back
Make way for the zodiac boy
Stand back
You've gotta listen to
The power of the future

It's so easy, it's a chain reaction
Every step of the way
There are places
You've been dreaming of
But never knew the way

Temptation, such a good thing
That burns inside
One rhythm, one power
One drain left you dry

BLOOD RED ROSES (Peter Goalby)
(1989) Raging Silence

Heavens above - what on earth has this come to
What have I done - what can I do now to show you
There's still a chance if you're ready to make up
It's not too late, cause I'm not ready to break up

I try to call, but you don't hear at all

I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart is tearing me apart
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
You've got to understand
That's my heart in your hand

No ...
Don't walk away - we can get this heart mended
Or am I the fool - and has this love just ended
I tried to call, but you don't hear at all
I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses
This burning in my heart is tearing me apart

I'm sending roses
I'm sending blood red roses

I gotta keep on trying
To stop this love from dying

You've got to understand
That my heart is in your hand

HOLD YOUR HEAD UP (Rod Argent/Chris White)
(1972) Argent: All Together Now
(1989) Uriah Heep: Raging Silence

And if it's bad
Don't let it get you down - you can take it
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry - you can make it

Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head high

And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes on you moving
And if they shout
Don't let it change a thing that you're doing

Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head up woman
Hold your head high

ROCKARAMA (Peter Goalby/John Sinclair/Trevor Bolder/Lee Kerslake/Mick Box)
(1985) Equator

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 own
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 

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

Rockarama it's on the video
Rockarama on my radio
Rockarama on the stereo
Give me rock'n'roll
Give me rock'n'roll
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 seeing things

Wind it up, here comes the video
It's that song again
Turn it up, it's on the radio
Or am I hearing things
