Space

I'm gonna make a little space
Around me
A very special place
Around me
No-one can come in

Business

Don't judge me Mama
Don't tell me that I've done wrong
It's a hard business
It's a hard business
To make it on your own

Don't judge me Papa
If I can't handle the things in my head
'Cos it's a hard business
Such a hard business
Walking on the edge

I've got nothing and no-one in my life
So how can I lose again
Got my feet in muddy water
But I'm gonna find that road again

So I'll be taking care of business
'Cos I know what I'm looking for
I've been working every hour God gives to Man
But I still see the same closed door…

I've got nothing but trouble in my life
But I feel I've got a lot to give
Every day I try to build a new world
But I've had no-one to build it with
I've been looking for a woman to share my hopes
And I know I ain't a patch on you
And I've been thinking that a woman's God's gift to Man
Are you thinking the same way too…?

So don't leave me Mama
Don't make me go on alone
'Cos it's a hard business
Yes it's a hard business
Ooh

Don't leave me Papa
When my belief in myself is gone
'Cos it's a hard business
Such a hard business
Tell me it's a hard business
Being on my own

China Belle

There's a little lady livin' down in old Beijing
She got everythin' you need well you know what I mean
No it ain't what you're thinkin' she ain't love for sale
She'll get you jumpin' just for fun but there's a sting in her tale
She's a lover she's a fighter she's a red hot bit
You take her as you find her but you never can quit
She's a pretty little lady called China Belle
She's a Little Bit o' Heaven and a Whole Lotta Hell

She gotta bad reputation but you won't say no
You gonna need her sweet loving when yo go go go
She gotta diamond on her finger you can see it glisten
She got plenty conversation (don't talk just listen)
She could be flat bed fakin' but you never can tell
Got the body of an angel but you know darn well
She's a pretty little lady called China Belle
She's a Little Bit o' Heaven and a Whole Lotta Hell

I was standin' at the station on the Neck of Siam
I met a Guy from Abu Dhabi said " you know who I am"
They call me Hard Nosed Harry who could never get hooked
But I fell in love with trouble after just one look
She'll give you dirty loving honey make you feel real swell
But if you say you wanna stay she ain't that kinda gel
I said you're talkin' 'bout a lady that I know darn well
She's a Little Bit 'o Heaven and a - Whole Lotta Hell -

She'll take you Nee-How walkin' to a Chinese Ball
You'll be singin' and a-dancin' underneath the Great Wall
But just when you're strollin' in the rain through Tiananmen Square
You turn around and look for China and she ain't nowhere
She's a dangerous habit she's a red hot hit
You could get a better rabbit but you just can't quit
She's a pretty little little lady
She's a pretty little little lady
She's a pretty little little lady called China Belle
She's a Little Bit o' Heaven and a -
Whole Lotta Hell

Why Don't We Try Again

After the storm there's the dead of night
It seems there's no way back for me
So little comfort in my little bed
To know that it had to be

And now I miss you in so many ways
You know I miss you for so many lonely days
Why don't we try again
In the dark there's a desert flower
It blooms when no one sees

Our love was stronger than history
Our love will never cease to be
How can I live with you as a memory
You hold the best part of me

And now I miss you in so many ways
You know I miss you for so many lonely days
Why don't we try again

No use of me waiting by the telephone
You're gone, you ain't gonna ring

And now I miss you in so many ways
You know I miss you for so many lonely lonely days and nights

I know you miss me for so many lonely days
Why don't we try again
Why don't we try again
Why don't we try again

On My Way Up

Hey

Got all of my life left for living

Nobody gonna tell me no
Nobody gonna stop me so
Everybody gonna see me grow
Nobody gonna hold me down
Gotta get to be better place
Gotta wake up and see your face
Gotta hold on
Move on
Go through that wall

It's my life or it's nothing
Our life or it's nothing at all

I'm on my way up, yeah
Better come with me, lets go

Cyborg

Welcome to my world

Power, fight, death

Come play with me
Hahahahaha
I'm waiting

I'll play their fantasy and I'll live their pain
My heart and soul locked up in a cold steel brain
A strange creature's crawling and it's calling out my name
I don't want to, I don't need to, but I must fight again
(Let me out)
(Set me free)

Calling out for the cyborg - Gonna rub you out
Time is up for the cyborg, you'll never get out
Ah! You're nothing but a cyborg

Cyborg

Cyborg, it's your time

I'll make it back there baby, just you watch me try
(one more try, one more try)
We'll fly again into the deep blue sky
I feel a hunger baby, cyborg feels no shame
Lord I have to, Lord I need to win this wicked game

Come step to me

Calling out for the cyborg, gonna rub you out
Time is up for the cyborg, he'll never get out
Time is up for the cyborg, gonna put your light out
Ah! You're nothing but a cyborg, you'll never get out

I'm gonna erase your file

The Guvnor

Special Guest Guitar - Jeff Beck
Drums - Cozy Powell
Assistant Mix Engineer - Neil Amor
Engineering for Jeff - Clive Drew-Clifton


Ooh yeah yeah yeah

Oh I ain't greedy
But you gotta see my point of view
I was not born yesterday
Don't you know I must have learned a thing or two

But there's a man on the loose, baby
He's all bad
He'll tan your hide and give you
What you never had

They call him the Guvnor
(God bless the Guvnor)
He's trained to kill
(God bless the Guvnor)
Make way make way for the Guvnor
(Make way for the Guvnor)
Give yourself a thrill, come on

Look at the dude!

He's got the world, he got it made
He got attitude
He got a fist like a switchblade
Everyone in the city
Gotta play his game
I don't wanna be a wannabe
I wanna be it

Wanna be the Guvnor
(God bless the Guvnor)
He's politically incorrect
(God bless the Guvnor)
Give way give way to the Guvnor
(Make way for the Guvnor)
You gotta show some respect

Don't bother looking for a way to catch his ass
This man is cookin' with a red hot kind of gas
He'll play the hits, electrifying
Tear you to bits, leave you crying crying crying

Get ready for the showdown
(Don't lose your head)
If licks could kill we'd all be long gone dead
On account of the Guvnor
(God bless the Guvnor, God bless the Guvnor)
God bless the Guvnor
(God bless the Guvnor, God bless the Guvnor)
Make way make way for the Guvnor

Let's see some respect now...

Wilderness

Born in the time of the changes
Where are you going
How will you fly
Is it for love of freedom all your days have been
Waiting for life to catch you
Watching and waiting and seeking a sign
In the wilderness

Each of us learns while we're sleeping
Sleeping we know
Waking a ghost
Passionate dream of heaven
Hold you close again
Only the Queen of heaven
Watches us grow, hearing his cry
Wanting and searching and losing our way
In the mire
In the wilderness

Wilderness child, you've got to hold on
Wilderness child, you've got to find your way home
Wilderness child, you've got to be strong
Wilderness wilderness wilderness child

Wilderness child
Let me see you
Stand in the light
Make me whole again
And if you can then show me
Approach me if you dare
Love is an open secret
Healing and hiding and wondering and weeping
Waiting for someone to find and open the door
In the wilderness
In the wilderness
In the wilderness
In the wilderness
In the wilderness

One Rainy Wish

Gold and rose, the colour of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and lilac too
Never to grow old

There you were under the tree of song
Sleeping so peacefully
In your hand a flower played
Waiting there for me

I have never laid eyes on you
Not before this timeless day
But you walk and you once smiled my name
And you stole my heart away
Stole my heart away, little girl, yeah
Alright

Gold and rose, the colour of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and lilac too
Never to grow old

Gold and rose, the colour of the dream I had
Misty blue and lilac too
Gold and rose, the colour of the dream I had
Misty blue and lilac too
Gold and rose, Gold and rose, Gold and rose

It's only a dream

I'd love to tell somebody about this dream
The sky was filled with a thousand stars
While the sun kissed the mountains blue
And eleven moons played across the rainbow
For me and you

Gold and rose, gold and rose
The colour of the velvet wall that surrounds us

All The Way From Memphis

Good evening Memphis
How are we doing
Let's do it

Forgot my six-string razor and I hit the sky
Halfway to Memphis before I realised
Hey, I rang the information, my axe was cold
They said "she rides the train down to Oriole"

Well it's a mighty long way down the dusty trail
And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rail
And I look like a bum and I crawl like a snail
All the way from Memphis

I got to Oriole, you know, it took a month
And there was my guitar, electric junk
Some dude said "rock'n'rollers, you're all the same
Man that's your instrument" I felt so ashamed

Now it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
Through the Bradford Cities and the Orioles
And you look like a star but you're still on the dole
All the way from Memphis

"Of course we weren't always superstars
There was a time when we were just ordinary commoners just like you"

Thank you Mr Hoople

Well it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl
And you climb up the mountains and you fall down the holes
All the way from Memphis

Well it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
And your name gets hot and your heart grows cold
And you've got to stay a young man, you can never get old
All the way from Memphis

Well it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
Through the Bradford Cities and the Orioles
And you look like a star but you're still on parole
All the way from Memphis

All the way from Memphis
All the way from Memphis (all the way from Memphis)
All the way from Memphis

Thank you and goodnight

Another World

In another world
Under another sky
I see another story waiting to be told
And another you
Wakes up with another me
For that's the way we've come to be
In another world

In a different place
Way across time and space
A door is open wide
Drawn to a different light
Maybe we'll step inside

In another world
We can show we care
You can be sure I'm waiting there
In another world

Oooh yeah
When the dies were cast
They laid a crazy path
We follow to our graves
But I know in a different world
We journey a different way

So we live
But life isn't what it seems
We're only living in our dreams
In another world

You can believe I'll meet you here
In another world
