SHE'S SO FINE (Günther Skitschak/John Lawton/Robert Papst/Chris Birawsky)



TOMORROW (John Lawton/Robert Papst/Günther Skitschak/Chris Birawsky)

Looking back on those wayward days 
Everybodys remained the same 
Reach out for the light on the inside 
Doesn't matter what you say 
You know its gotta be that way 
Your soul will be heard, when the wind cries 

I can see tomorrow, feel tomorrow 
Leave all this pain and sorrow 
I can see tomorrow 
See and look in your eyes

We were happy with what we knew 
Its only love that can see us through
The tears of today I'd gladly surrender

I can see tomorrow, feel tomorrow 
Leave all this pain and sorrow 
I can see tomorrow 
See and look in your eyes

And I'll be there tomorrow
Where your heart goes 
Oh no, there'll be no love borrowed 
See tomorrow, face that morning sunrise 

Yeah, tomorrow

I can see tomorrow, feel tomorrow 
Leave all this pain and sorrow 
I can see tomorrow 
See and look in your eyes

And I'll be there tomorrow
Where your heart goes 
Oh no, there'll be no love borrowed 
See tomorrow, face that morning sunrise 

Tomorrow, tomorrow ...



CAN'T GET YOU OUT OF MY MIND (John Lawton/Robert Papst/Günther Skitschak/Chris Birawsky)

I have wasted so much time 
Till I found you and that peace of mind 
You were good for me, your all I really need 
Should I tell him? 
Should I tell him, about you and me?
There'd be no more lies, no sordid alibis 
You gave me all I need to carry on 
No more that I can say
You'll never get away 
And I can't get you out of my mind
 
I have wasted so much time 
Never knowing, what's was hidden deep inside 
It took just one kiss, to show me what I missed 
Should I tell him?
Should I tell him, about you and me?
I just can't let go, the gypsy told me so 
You gave me all that I need to carry on
One thing that I can say
You'll never get away 
And I can't get you out of my mind 



STARLIGHT ANGEL (John Lawton/Robert Papst/Günther Skitschak)

In the morning with the sunrise 
She'll be leaving her yesterdays 
No more shadows in the mirror 
All those tears been washed away 

Starlight angel 
On the wings of freedom 
Starlight angel
On the wings of morning 

Soul divided, in time of needing 
That precious love child he turned away 
All he wanted was body freedom 
And she gave the easy way 

Starlight angel - Learning to fly 
On the wings of freedom - You will survive 
Starlight angel - You gotta let go 
On the wings of morning - You'll cry no more 

He was a star of stage and in the magazines 
He was a cool cool lover to his virgin queen 
Timeless child in the need for love 
Soul provider she'd been dreaming of 

She's been wounded by their desire 
He took the freedom, she bore the pain 
In the city, the rules were broken 
No more the scandal, no more the shame 

Starlight angel - learning to fly 
On the wings of freedom - you will survive 
Starlight angel - you gotta let go 
On the wings of morning - you'll cry no more

TRY A LITTLE TENDERNESS (Harry Woods/Jimmy Campbell/Reg Connelly)
(1966) Otis Redding: Complete & Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary Of Soul

Oh she may be weary
Young girls they do got weary
Wearing that same old shabby dress
Yeah yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness

Oh yeah, thats all you gotta do

You know shes there waiting
Just anticipating
Things that shell never, never possess
No no no
But while shes there waiting
Try a little tenderness

Its not just sentimental, no no no no
She has her grief and cares
But the soft words
That are spoke so gently, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bear

You wont regret it
Young girls they dont forget it
Love is their only happiness
Yeah yeah yeah
Its so so easy
Try a little tenderness
You know what I mean

But the soft words
They are spoken so gently, yeah, yeah
It makes it easier, easier to bear

She may be weary
Young girls they do got weary
Wearing that same old shabby dress
Yeah yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness

Yeah, a little tenderness
Thats all youve gotta do
Listen to me
Try, try, try, try
One time for the last time
A little bit of tenderness
Tenderness, tenderness
Ooh, need you, I love you
I want you tonight, love me, baby
A little bit of tenderness



TONIGHT (John Lawton)
(1979) Uriah Heep: Ten Miles High (unreleased album)

I never promised you love
That I couldn't give you
If I'd had nothing at all
You'd live like a queen
I give you my heart
You give me a reason
One thing I know
It will always be me

So let me know love tonight
And let it show love tonight
And may your love shine tonight
Tonight, tonight

You took me into your world
And gave me your shelter
But I was too blind 
I just couldn't see
You gave me your heart
I gave you a reason
One thing I know
It will always be me

So let me know love tonight
And let it show love tonight
And may your love shine tonight
Tonight, tonight

You took me into your world
And gave me your shelter
But I was too blind 
I just couldn't see
You gave me your heart
I gave you a reason
One thing I know
It will always be me

So let me know love tonight
And let it show love tonight
And may your love shine tonight
Tonight, tonight

And let it grow love tonight
And let it show love tonight
And may your love shine tonight
Tonight, tonight ...
