Fireball Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The golden light above you shows me where you're from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
You stand up on your hill, they bebop all around you
They wonder where you're from, oh yeah
They wonder where I found you
[Chorus]
Oh, my love, it's a long way
Where you're from it's a long way
[Verse 2]
I tried to understand you, tried to love you right
The way you smile and touch me always sets my heart alight
Your lips are like a fire burning through my soul
And people ask me where you're from
They really wanna know
[Chorus]
Oh, my soul, it's a long way
Where you're from it's a long way
[Bridge]
Magic woman wrecking up my soul
Things you tell me have never been told
Magic woman I don't know
Electric before me, I love you, so I love you so
[Verse 3]
You're racing like a fireball dancing like a ghost
You're Gemini and I don't know which one I like the most
My head is getting broken and
My mind is getting bust
But now I'm coming with you down the road of golden dust
[Chorus]
Oh, my love, it's a long way
Where you're from it's a long way
[Instrumental Break 01:48-02:30]
[Bass Solo]
[Organ Solo]
[Verse 4]
The golden light above you shows me where you're from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
You stand up on your hill, bebop all around you
They wonder where you're from, oh yeah
They wonder where I found you
[Chorus]
Oh, my love, it's a long way
Where you're from it's a long way
[Instrumental Outro]
No No No Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Really hate the running
Really hate the game
Looking at them all
I wanna be unborn again
Their suit is getting tighter
Although they're getting thin
The flies are crawling on their face
And trying to get in
[Pre-Chorus]
People say that we're to blame, I say
No no no, it's just the game
[Chorus]
Must we let them fool us? No no no
Have we got our freedom? No no no
Is it getting better? No no no
Do we love each other? No no no
Must we wait forever? No no no no no
[Instrumental break 1:32-2:46]
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 2]
Heads are getting stronger bodies getting weak
Looking at them all it feels good to be a freak
Their hands are getting closer they're reaching out so far
The greenies gonna get them make them serve stars
Tell them how it is and they say
No no no we know it all
We know it all
[Chorus]
Must we let them fool us? No no no
Have we got our freedom? No no no
Is it getting better? No no no
Do we love each other? No no no
Must we wait forever? No no no no no
[Instrumental break 4:04-5:23]
[Organ solo]
[Verse 3]
The washing's getting dirty the air is getting thin
It's all in such a mess that no one knows where to begin
They talk about creating but all they do is kill
They say we're gonna mend it but they never will
Poison in the rain but they say
No no no we ain't to blame
It ain't us
[Chorus]
Must we let them fool us? No no no
Have we got our freedom? No no no
Is it getting better? No no no
Do we love each other? No no no
Must we wait forever? No no no no no
Demon’s Eye Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't mind just what you say
I never heard you, baby, never heard you anyway
I don't care what you do
Just so long as it ain't me and you
[Chorus]
Sly, sly, like a demon's eye
[Verse 2]
Everything's good, I said, everything's fine
You don't know, don't know it's the end of your time
How does it feel to be turned away?
I've known it, baby, almost every day
[Chorus]
Sly, sly, like a demon's eye
[Instrumental Break]
[Organ Solo]
[Verse 3]
I don't need you anymore
I don't want you, baby, hanging round my door
You slip and slide round my brain
You think you're so clever, yeah, but you know you're insane
[Chorus]
Sly, sly, like a demon's eye
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
I d-d-don't mind just what you say
I never heard you, I never heard you anyway, no I didn't
Everything's good, everything's fine
You don't know, it's the end of your time
[Chorus]
Sly, sly, like a demon's eye
Like a demon's eye
[Outro]
Oh oh yeah, you're so sly baby yeah ooh yeah
You make me feel upside down, oh
Like a demons eye, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh!!
Anyone’s Daughter Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I stood under your bedroom window
Throwing up a brick
No one came I threw one more
That really did the trick
Your daddy came and banged my head
He said what kind of man
Is this that's hanging 'round my girl
And threw me in the cab
[Chorus 1]
You're a farmer's daughter
You're a farmer's daughter
Why do I always get
The kinda girl I didn't oughta get
I won't get no more eggs and water
Now I've laid the farmer's daughter
[Verse 2]
Imagine I was a full-grown man
And I could talk just right
Could I came and see you here
And do this every night
Wham! The door comes crashing down
Your daddy's face all pale
Says come with me you hairy bum
I'll put you in my jail
[Chorus 2]
You're a judge's daughter
You're a judge's daughter
Why do I always get
The kinda girl I didn't oughta get
Now I'm getting jail and torture
Cos' I made the judge's daughter
Yes, I did
It was nice
[Bridge]
It seems they're screaming law and order
When I go with anyone's daughter
[Verse 3]
Woman I should like some peace
And daddy hold your tongue
I think you're gonna die of fright
When I tell you what I've done
I can hear your tales and lies
You say I'm dumb and scraggy
But man this dumb and scraggy is
Your daughter's baby's daddy
[Chorus 3]
She's a lucky daughter
Such a lucky daughter
Why did I always get
The kinda girl I didn't wanna get
Now I've got what I always fought for
Cos I've married a rich man's daughter
Ha
What do you think of that
The Mule Lyrics
[Verse]
No one sees the things you do
Because I stand in front of you
But you drive me all the time
Put the evil in my mind
Used to sing and say my prayers
Live my life without a care
Now I have become a fool
Because I listened to the mule
How can I change when my mind is a friend of a Lucifer hid in the ground
Just another slave for the mule
[Outro]
Fools Lyrics
[Intro]
I'm crying
I'm dying
[Verse 1]
I can see what's wrong with me
It's in my head
I can see what's going to be
As I lie in my bed
Man is not my brotherhood
I am of the dead
[Chorus]
I died as I lived as I loved and was born
On some distant hill
The reasons to hide were the reasons I cried
Fools pass laughing still
[Verse 2]
There can be bad blood in all I can see
It's in my brain
You don't know the pain I feel
As I must live again
Rocks and stones can't bruise my soul but
Tears will leave a stain
[Chorus]
They smile to themselves as they lay down my head
On some distant hill
The blind and the child sweep a tear from their eye
Fools smile as they kill
[Instrumental break 3:40-6:23]
[Verse 3]
I got my own way to go and now I want
To take your minds
I believe if you could see
The blood between the lines
I believe that you could be
A better kind
[Chorus]
Please lead the way so the unborn can play
On some greener hill
Laugh as the flames eat their burning remains
Fools die laughing still
No One Came Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Maybe it's because I'm only starting
That I think it won't take too long
Maybe it's because I can see you laughing
That I think you've got it wrong
Maybe I could be like Robin Hood
Like an outlaw dressed all in green
Someone said, “what's he gonna turn out like?”
Someone else said, “never mind”
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Well, the big and bold were more than twice as old
As all the cats I'd ever seen
I grew my hair and bought a suit of shiny white
Or was it cream?
I shook and shivered, danced and quivered
And stood on a mountain top
[Chorus 1]
No one came from miles around and said
“Man, your music is really hot”
[Verse 2]
Well, I knew what they meant because I was a freak
Ah, my throat was tired and worn
My pretty face just looked out of place
As they poured on the scorn
I wrote on yellow paper from a man who was the king
He said my boy we'll have some crazy scenes
There weren't any scenes at all like he was talking about
He must've been the King of Queens
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well, I could write a million songs about the things I've done
But I could never sing them, so they'd never get sung
Well, there's a law for the rich and one for the poor
And there's another one for singers
It's die young and live much longer
And spend your money and sit and wonder
[Chorus 2]
No one came for miles around and said
“Man, your music is really funky”
[Guitar Solo]
[Organ Solo]
[Verse 3]
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
Nobody knows who's real and who's faking
Everyone's shouting out loud
It's only the glitter and shine that gets through
Where's my Robin Hood outfit?
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Well, I've come and I've gone before you wink an eye
No one even cared enough to say goodbye
The money's good and the time you have
Fun and games galore
But you spend your money, and you lie in bed forgotten
And wonder what you did it for
[Chorus 3]
No one came from miles around and said
“Man, who's he?”
[Instrumental Outro]
