WOMAN OF THE NIGHT (Mick Box/John Lawton/Lee Kerslake)

Ride along lady woman of the night
Looking for a place to go
Dancing on storm clouds, hiding from the light
Looking for an easy Joe
You just wanna play around
Searching for a higher ground

Walking every side street kicking up the leaves
Running from the pouring rain
Standing on the corners, shaking from the cold
Only got yourself to blame
You just wanna play around
Searching for a higher ground

Someone who could make you happy
Someone who would care
You've broken your life beyond repair
You're reaching for every rainbow
You're wondering why
Don't reach out for love'cause it's a lie

You've got your number on the wall
Of some deserted station hall
Will you just play the waiting game
But you won't stop the things you do
Some night the evil get to you



FALLING IN LOVE (Ken Hensley)

Falling keep on falling I keep on falling in love

Now I don't mind all this running around
Seems I've been doing it most of my life
My music's been kind but some days I find
It brings me two kinds of trouble and three kinds of strife
So don't compare it'cause I just want to
Share it with some people I like to call
friends there ain't nothing bad and no need to feel sad
And there's certainly no need to make amends

It won't do you no harm and there's no cause for alarm
I won't be prayin' for help from above
If the only thing wrong with rock and roll
Is that I keep on falling in love



ONE MORE NIGHT (LAST FAREWELL) (Ken Hensley)

City lights are burning in the distance
Seems they're tellin' me to hurry home
But I can't push these wheels ot mine no harder
So hold on, baby, for me one more night alone

There's time for me to take just one look over my shoulder
One last glance at what's been going on
'Cause I'll be there at first light in the morning
We'll pick up the pieces, baby, then we'll be long gone

Pick up the pieces and run with me as fast as you can
You know you always said I was the man
Pick up the pieces let's do it now let's say our last farewell
Tomorrow may be too late as far as I can tell



PUT YOUR LOVIN' ON ME (John Lawton)

Lady, oh lady, you're driving me crazy
You brought out the devil in me
You turned on my fire with words of desire
You sure put the lovin' sure put the lovin' on me

You're sending me reeling with love that you're giving
Spinning my poor heart around
The feelings that should be, have finally saved me
You sure put the lovin' sure put the lovin' on me

Ain't no use in trying, I never would deny that
I love you love you
Ain't no doubt about it, I just can't live without it
I love you love you
Yes, I love you, I really love you

Don't know what it is that you're putting down
I only know it ain't no game
I only know what you're doing to me
And baby you're the one to blame

Lady, oh lady, you're driving me crazy
You're flying me high with your eyes
No use in trying ain't no use denying
You sure put the lovin' sure put the lovin' on me
Put your lovin' on me



COME BACK TO ME (Lee Kerslake/Ken Hensley)

Alone again I feel so alone again
With this emptiness
I just can't hide
Picture me with a broken heart
See the tears run down my face

Everything I had has gone ...
Loneliness ... still lingering on
Everything I thought was mine ...
Come back to me, can't we try it one more time
Come back to me

I know I'll find another
But you'll always be there in the back of my mind
The power of love can bring such pain
But I still love you, I just love you

Alone again I'm so alone again
With nothing but you on my mind
Can't you see what you've done to my life
What can I do to win you back again



WHAD'YA SAY (Ken Hensley)

Whad'ya say
Lady you're tyin' me down
Turning my heart to stone
And I can't help feeling I'd be better off
Back out in the streets alone

Baby you're hurtin' me, deserting me again
I looked for your loyalty
And found a fickle friend

We could try to get back on the right track, baby
Or leave it, just throw it away
We could pick it up, pack it up, make up, or
Break up, let's try again, whad'ya say

Faced with this situation, there's two things we can do
A lot of it is up to us, but most of it's down to you
You know we shouldn't play with love
It's a dangerous thing to do
So let's not get agony and ecstasy confused
Whad'ya say



SAVE IT (Trevor Bolder/Pete McDonald)

Gonna take my heart and my soul
And lay it onto someone's daughter
Gonna give out all that I got
To the woman who sits by the water

Gonna spend the rest of my time
With the woman by the winding river
Gonna let her know, I'll give her all
That I got forever and ever

She knows what I like, she knows what I need
And babe, let me tell you she'll give it all to me
Save it, save it, save it all for me
Save it, save it, save it all for me
Save it, save it, you gotta save it all for me



LOVE OR NOTHING (Ken Hensley)

You gotta make up your mind
Cause you're runnin' out of time
You know it's your game and the winner takes all
It's time for you to realise
There's gonna be no compromise
It's gotta be love or nothing at all

I've thought about a new beginning
But you know your heart's not in it
There's something inside that ain't hearing my call
And each new misty morning
Brings a constant warning
It's gotta be love or nothing at all

It's no good climbing in the back seat in the name of love
Or tryin' to be somebody that you know you're not
Sneakin' out the back door at the dead of night
Cause you're never gonna find out what it's really like



I'M ALIVE (John Lawton)

How strange when you know the feeling
That something ain't right
You're fooled by the need of being
You're blind to the light
Don't ask where the stranger leads you
He'll show you the way
Just go out and make your conquest
You've something to say I'm alive, I'm alive, and I'm me
I've just got to be free, I'm alive to the world

There's been so much bad time wasted
Just look and you'll see
We've got so much going for us
It's not just a dream
Let's look and we'll find the answers
To questions I've made
We'll reach out for new beginnings
Let love show the way

I'm alive, I'm alive, and I'm me
I've just got to be free
I'm alive to the world

Let's leave our past behind
A little hurt can make us blind
And we'll just smile and say
We've found a better way
Cause now we know that we're alive



FALLEN ANGEL (Ken Hensley)

Fallen Angel ... Fallen Angel ...
Everyone I see reminds me of you
I keep turnin' round expectin' you to be there
I keep seein' our past through my looking glass
But fallen angel where are you now

Atter all these years I remember the tears
As we parted you said don't forget me
You were ridin' so high now they're passin' you by
Girl, I never forgot you please come and get me

Livin' without you is hard enough anyway
But knowin' you're hurtin'
Makes it so much worse every day
I just wanna love you
Any way that I can
And watching you cry wasn't part of my plan

Fallen Angel ... Fallen Angel ...
Tell me how did it feel in your promised land
That you chose as your pain and your pleasure
A temporary sanctuary
Oh, fallen angel, I am your real treasure
Fallen Angel ... Fallen Angel ...



Bonus tracks:

CHEATER (Ken Hensley)

Cheater, I know where you've been
Cheater, your lies can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I've know
Cheater, I guess it's time for you to go 

I'm tired of chasing shadows
So lllusive in the night
And your empty words
That leave me high and dry
Now the curtain's finally fallen
On this fantasy affair
You've had me for the last time
With your lies 

Cheater, you're a cheater
I know where you've been
Cheater, your lies can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I've know
Cheater, I guess it's time for you to go 

The voices in the wind I heard
Kept telling me to run
Whispering a warning to my heart
And the voices deep as thunder
Tried to speak of things to come
I was blinded then
But now I see the light 

Cheater, you're a cheater
And I know where you've been
Cheater, mean mistreater
Your lies can't hide your sin
Cheater, don't ask me how I've know
Cheater, I guess it's time for you to go 

Cheater. I know where you've been
Cheater, you're a cheater
Cheater, you're a cheater
Cheater, I know where you've been
Your lies can't hide your sins
Cheater ... 



GIMME LOVE (STRUTTIN') (Mick Box/Trevor Bolder/Lee Kerslake/John Lawton)

Love, love, love - I'm looking for love
Love, love, love 

When I was only sixteen
Well, give it take a year or more
I've got to singing about
The life I've lead
And I threw it right out of the door
I've got to get some of
That heavy jive
That the old folks are talkin' about
So I strutted my stuff
To the local club
To see what I was leaving now 

Looking for love, love, love
Looking, looking for love
Love, love, love

I took my seat at
The foot of the stage
And waited for the fun to begin
And there in the light
Stood this heavy chick
With the cutest babe
That I've ever seen
She smiled at me
She did her dance
Took me by surprise
The way she wiggled her hips
And she shook that ...
Right between the eyes

Looking for love, love, love
L.O.B, I'm looking for love
Love, love, love 

After the show she came
And sat down
Said: Hi son, what's your name?
I said: Never mind that
Think about this:
Loving's the name of my game
She said: That's alright
But it'll cost you, son
I said: Tell me what's
The price of the day
She said: Twenty dime
And a wedding ring
And everything will be OK 

Looking for love, love, love
Looking for ... love, love, love
I'm lookin, lookin' for love
I'm lookin' for love
L.O.B. love, love ...
Love, love, love ... 



A RIGHT TO LIVE (John Lawton)

I must thank Lord
In my hour of need
I've given way to a better man
But I ain't been free
To push the hour here
In this soul of mine
I've burned my bridges
And I'm satisfied

The preacher's due here
In an hour or so
To give me a reasons for
The things I know
I might have been careless and I
I might have been blind
If I'm the guilty, I'm satisfied 

Oh woman, why did you
Do me wrong?
Sending me down and
I just can't get along
When daybreak comes and
I've reached the end of the line
I have a right to live
And I'm left to die 

It all seems so hazy now
It seems so long ago
She hid the things she'd done
Or things I should know
What was I to do for
The hurting here inside
I kill for love but the ... 

I have a right to live
When I'm left to die
Oh, woman
I have a right to live ... 



BEEN HURT (Ken Hensley)

Don't you know I've been hurt?
Don't you know I've been hurt? ...

At the age of eighteen
I had had enough
And by twenty-one
I decided to get tough
And then I found the door
And still too rough
And I've been hurt
Ever since that day
I've been hurt
And I've lost my way
And still I had a chance
To find your love 

Well, I tried to love you
One day at a time
Each day waiting, hoping for the sign
It was clear I needed luck
More than this time 

And I've been hurt
Ever since that day
I've been hurt
Well, I've lost my way
And still I had a chance
To make you mine 

My empty heart is
Counting all the ways
Fire and desire
Sat and count days
Will you, won't you
When and where
Do you, don't you, do I care
That same eternal question
Is always there
It's always there

LET IT RIDE (Ken Hensley/Mick Box/Lee Kerslake/John Lawton)

Before I leave town today
Well, there's something
That I wanna say
That you regret the stormy night
You put your eyes on me

Well, you cheated on me
And you lied
And I must've had that
A thousand times
But I'll be comin' back one day
Just you wait and see 

Oh, yeah, let it ride, let it ride
Let it slip, let it slide
Ride the night away
