King Of Dreams

It doesn’t matter if I’m right or wrong
It really doesn’t mean a thing
It doesn’t matter if you like my song
As long as you can hear me sing
‘Cause I’m the thorn in every little girl’s rose
You know I cut but never bleed
A shadow in the night, pure delight
I can satisfy your every need

I’m a real smooth dancer, I’m fantasy man
Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar of love, second hand hero…King of Dreams

Don’t make a difference what you got
It doesn’t matter what you lose
Don’t make a difference if you like it or not
Baby I’m gonna change your attitude
‘Cause all around me there is mystery and wonder
Now can’t you see it in my eyes
I’ll crack the sky, make you feel the thunder
You’ll never see through my disguise

I’m a real smooth dancer, I’m fantasy man
Master of illusion, with my sleight of hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar for love, second hand hero… King of Dreams

All around, all around
Emotional squeeze through again and again
I know how to please you, your mind is on the bend
Can’t you feel the power, surrender in my arms
Beyond the witching hour we’re travelling on and on

I’m a real smooth dancer, I’m fantasy man
Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand
The stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar of love, second hand hero… King of Dreams

I’m a real smooth dancer, fantasy man
Master of illusion, sleight of hand
The stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar for love… King of Dreams

Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye

(Airey/Gillan/Glover/Morse/Paice)

I threw a rock in the lake and it sank to the bottom
The waves spread out but the rock got forgotten
The ripples came back just as we feared
Looking for the rock but the hole disappeared
It’s somewhere in the middle some ways down
The last guy that went looking almost certainly drowned

He ran out of time
He can kiss tomorrow goodbye

Yes I piss in the water and burn down the trees
I watch as the creatures fall to their knees
They ain’t got a clue as disaster looms
They’re too busy choking on toxic fumes
They got no hope and there’s no point running
No matter what they do I keep on coming

They ran out of time
They can kiss tomorrow goodbye

I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing

Well hallelujah and holy mackerel
All we got left is a thief and a jackal
The writing is big and it’s there on the wall
Oh how the mighty empires fall
Ther’s nothing to fix it’s much too late
Sit down and prepare to meet your fate

You have ran out of time
Kiss tomorrow goodbye

Kneel And Pray

You were good
I was bad
I just want everything you had
Good loving is meant for two
A bit for me and a bit for you
Alright, oh yeah
C’mon and make my bed
Oh, baby, baby, I…c’mon
Kneel and pray
Oh baby this is what I say
You did right, I did wrong
Let me sing my simple song
Oh baby, oh please
Oh tremble on my knees
Yeah, yeah, I need you so
Come in, come in, oh let us play with sin
Alright, yeah
Kneel and pray
Oh baby this is what I say
Oh…
Lady, lady, lady
You better turn around
Look at the ground
Tell me what you found
Aaah, oh yeah
I wanna feel so good inside you
Alright
I can’t hear you
I can’t see you
I need you
You better turn around
Look at the ground
Tell me what you found

Knockin’ At Your Back Door

(BlackmoreGloverGillan)
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a Samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And none of us could reach that high
She came on like a teaser
I had to touch and please her
Enjoy a little paradise
The log was in my pocket
When Lucy met the Rockett
And she never knew the reason why
I can’t deny it
With that smile on her face
It’s not the kill
It’s the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
It’s knocking at the door
You know it’s no good running
It’s not against the law
The point of no return
And now you know the score
And now you’re learning
What’s knockin’ at your back door
Sweet Nancy was so fancy
To get into her pantry
Had to be the aristocracy
The members that she toyed with
At her city club
Were something in diplomacy
So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues
And now she eases gently
From her Austin to her Bentley
Suddenly she feels so young

Lady Double Dealer

Get outta my way
I’m gettin’ tired of you
There ain’t no chance
Doin’ what you wanna do
I’ve been down down down down down
Got to get my feet back on the ground

Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say

I ain’t satisfied
Dealin’ with second hand goods
You wanted somethin’ for nothin’
Taking everything you could
You been ’round–I got the news
But you ain’t waitin’ ’round for me to lose

Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say
I gave love to you
Did what you wanted me to
But all you did was bring me down
So I just had to try
Try to reason why
You took advantage of my love

Two timin’ woman
Tryin’ to take me for a ride
You’re a hard lover honey
But you sure don’t keep me satisfied
I wanna be there
To try to make you see
There ain’t no woman gonna make a fool outta me

Lady Luck

She was a juke-box dancer
A blue eyed gypsy queen
She always had an answer
For what she’d done
And where she’d been
A feathercane Lady Midnight
For all around to see
She spoke with words of wisdom
And this is what she said to me

Lady luck
C’mon give me what I want
Pull me up
Lady luck
If I see you again
I will call you my friend

I have always been a sinner
But then the lady came along
She stole my heart and turned me ’round
‘Till I didn’t know right from wrong
She whispered words of kindness
I’d never ever heard before
Golden words and silver tongue
Till I really couldn’t take no more

Lady luck
C’mon give me what I want
Pull me up
Lady luck
If I see you again
I will call you my friend
C’mon shake me

Lalena

(Donovan)

Donovan’s song done how we thought Donovan might like to have heard it. The only double tracking on this cut is the guitar passage at the end. The slightly “jazzy” feel to the organ is a bow in the direction of Donovan’s mellow yellow days.
When the sun goes to bed
That’s the time you raise your head
That’s your lot in life Lalena
Can’t blame you Lalena

Arty Tart la de da
Can your heart get much sadder
That’s your lot in life Lalena
Can’t blame you, oh, Lalena

Run your hand through your hair
Paint your face with despair
That’s your lot in life Lalena
Can’t blame you, oh, Lalena

Run your hands through your hair
Paint your face, pait you face up with despair
That’s your lot in life Lalena
I can’t blame you, oh lalena

When the sun goes to bed
That’s the time you raise your head
That’s your lot in life Lalena
I can’t blame you Lalena

Arty Tart Oh so la de da
Can your part ever get, ever get much sadder
That’s your lot in life Lalena
I can’t blame you Lalena
Oh, Lalena

Lay Down Stay Down

I don’t care if my lady’s gone
As long as you give me just what I want.
I’ve been losin’ my direction,
Got to find a new connection.

You have wasted the love I tasted,
Now I’m really gettin’ hungry more and more.
Been a long time, had a bad sign.
Tell me what am I fighting for?

Let me know you feel it,
you know I really need it.
Keep on pushin’ for more,
lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
there’s one thing I really need.
I’m gonna tell you right now,
lay down, stay down.

Lookin’ for trouble, I guess that’s right.
When I was young I was taught to fight.
It’s been long gone since I had known,
Now I’m headin’ for some more.

Let me know you feel it,
you know I really need it.
Keep on pushin’ for more,
Lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
there’s one thing I really need.
I’m gonna tell you right now,
lay down, stay down.

Let me know you feel it,
you know I really need it.
Keep on pushin’ for more,
lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
there’s one thing I really need.
I’m gonna tell you right now,
lay down, stay down.

Lazy

You’re lazy just stay in bed
You’re lazy just stay in bed
You don’t want no money
You don’t want no bread

If you’re drowning you don’t clutch no straw
If you’re drowning you don’t clutch no straw
You don’t want to live you don’t want to cry no more

Well my trying ain’t done no good
I said my trying ain’t done no good
You don’t make no effort no not like you should

Lazy you just stay in bed
Lazy you just stay in bed
You don’t want no money
You don’t want no bread

Lick It Up

My shoes are heavy
My feet are winding down
I look for her in comers
But she’s not around
What I eat is eating me
It hits me hard
I’m one jack short of a royal flush
A stranger holds the card

Here come the salvation in the shape of my guitar
And I’m gonna ride it like a shooting star

I don’t want your money
I don’t want your soul
I don’t need a reason
I just want to get right down and lick it up

Mother Mercy told me
A picture never lies
She told me no self respecting hero
Ever cries
The prisoner walks in circles
The victim walks alone
Scissors cut the paper
The paper wraps the stone

Standing at the entrance to the gates of paradise
The lights go down the heat goes up that’s when I cry

I don’t want your money
I don’t want your soul
I don’t a reason
I just want to get right down and lick it up

I put my faith in fortune reaching for the sky
The only game in town that gets me high

I don’t want your money
I just want to get right down and lick it up
I don’t want your soul
I just want to get right down and lick it up
I don’t need a reason
I just want to get right down and lick it up
