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

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

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
