RESURRECTION

(Words: May, Music: May, Powell, Page)

There's a pain in my brain
Confusion in my heart
My blood's fit for bursting my body apart
I'm gonna ride - ride the night into the morning sun

Yeah I'm gonna make my resurrection
No more of this crap
Got a whole new direction
Ain't no turning back
Resurrection is a-gonna come

My spirit is weeping
For freedom it cries
Been scraping my living
In the valley of lies
Gonna ride the night into the morning sun

Yeah I'm a victim of a victim
Of a conspiracy
From a corpum derelictum
Gonna fly and be free
Resurrection is a-gonna come - yeah

Clear the vision
Heal the system
Sins forgiven
Rise

Flee the prison
Break the system
Sins forgiven
Rise

Ride the night
Yes I know I'm still alive
Gotta ride the night - yeah
I'm gonna ride
Rise again in the morning light

There's no sense in my counting
The price of those years
There's too many heartaches
And too many tears
Ride the night into the morning sun

Yes I thought I was dreaming
But the east is ablaze
With the promise of the future
Those Heavenly days
Ride the night into the morning sun
Ride the night into the morning sun
Cos the resurrection is a-gonna come

LOVE TOKEN

(May)

Mama's in love, Papa's in love
It's such a shame they don't love each other.
Papa's in a jam, Mama's throwin' pans
The game's up - it's time to run for cover

Everybody's cryin' but they can't stop hopin'
Everybody's lookin' for the door that's open
Mama's making heat to keep the fire smokin'
Papa's hangin' on his old love token

You got love but you ain't got style
You want your freedom but in a while
You're lost children but you know for sure
You gotta find out what your love is for

[Oh baby life ain't what is used to be]
(You're telling me - not since you 'been hangin' round here)
[Mama's what you screamin' for actin' like a demon for]
And hey mama quit wavin' them hands in the air
(Don't talk to me that way)
[well I don't see no reason to raise your voice to me]
(You put fat in the fire you got meat for brains)
[Well you don't give me comfort and a Man's
gotta get it somewhere]
(Ooh that's a shame) [Yeah, well...]
Mama's hangin' on to every word that's spoken
But Pap's hangin' onto his old love token

Oh I don't wanna leave you Mama
Oh I don't wanna leave you Papa

Long haired women gonna you to stone
You can't beat em - cos you need 'em
You gotta live - you gotta love
Your love token's gotta fit like a glove

Listen to the story 'bout the dream that's broken
You gotta keep a hold of your old love token

Oh I don't wanna leave you Mama
Oh I don't wanna leave you Papa
No I don't wanna leave you alone
But I'm gonna have to Babe

TOO MUCH LOVE WILL KILL YOU (LIVE)

(May,Musker,Lamers)

I'm just the pieces of the man I used to be
Too many bitter tears raining down on me
I'm far away from home
And I've been facing this alone for much too long
I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be
In my tangled state of mind
I've been looking back to find where I went wrong

Too much love will kill you
If you can't make up your mind
Torn between a lover and the love you leave behind
You're headed for disaster 'cos you never read the signs
Too much love will kill you - every time

I'm just the shadow of the man I used to be
And it seems there's no way out this for me
I used to bring you sunshine
Now all I ever do is bring you down
How would it be if you were standing in my shoes
Can't you see that it's impossible to choose
No there's making sense of it
Every way I go I have to lose

Too much love will kill you
Just as sure as none at all.
It'll drain the power that's in you
Make you plead and scream and crawl
And the pain will make you crazy
You're the victim of your crime
Too much love will kill you
Every time

Too much love will kill you
It'll make your life a lie
Yes, too much love will kill you
And you won't understand why
You'd give your life you'd sell your soul
But here it comes again
Too much love will kill you
In the end...
In the end.

BACK TO THE LIGHT (LIVE)

(May)

Far, Far from the light
Hear the night creatures call
With cold breath they howl
All the hollow hours they're calling
I'll be there
No matter what you're going through
In the dark I care
I'm holding on, I'm hoping on
It's still the same old me inside

chorus:
Back to the light
Back to the street, that are
Paved with gold
Back to the light
Back to the land where the
Sunshine heals my soul

Deep deep in the night
When the world fills with tears
And wind blows, colder and colder it grows
And the fire dims with the same old fears
I'll be there
Though maybe you don't hear me babe
I still care
No matter when, I'll still be there
When you make it to the other side

chorus:
Back to the light
Back to the street, that are
Paved with gold
Back to the light
Back to the land where the
Sunshine heals my soul

On and on
Searching for a clearer view
Winning and losing an inner war
Wonder what we do it for
Though road seems never ending
Hold on to the hope I'm sending through

I'll be there
No matter where you're going to
In the dark I care
I'm holding on - believe it -
We'll be walking in the light
'Cos they'll be no place left to hide

chorus:
Back to the light
Back to the street, that are
Paved with gold
Back to the light
Back to the land where the
Sunshine heals my soul

TIE YOUR MOTHER DOWN (LIVE)

(May)

Get your party gown
Get your pigtail down
Get your heart beatin' baby
Got my timin' right
Got my act all tight
It's gotta be tonight my little
Schoolbabe

Your momma says you don't
And your Daddy says you won't
And I'm boilin' up inside
Ain't no way I'm gonna lose out this time

Tie your Mother down
Tie your Mother down
Lock your Daddy out of doors
I don't need him nosing around
Tie your Mother down
Tie your Mother down
Give me all your love tonight

You're such a dirty louse
Go get outta my house
That's all I ever get from your
Family ties, in fact I don't think I ever heard
A single little civil word
from those guys
But you know I don't give a light
I'm gonna make out all right
I've got a sweetheart hand
To put a stop to all that
Grousin' an' snipin'

Tie your Mother down
Tie your Mother down
Take your little brother swimmin'
With a brick (that's all right)
Tie your Mother down,
Tie your Mother down
Or you ain't no friend of mine

Your momma and your Daddy gonna
Plague me til I die
Why can't they understand I'm just a
Peace lovin' guy
Tie your Mother down
Tie your Mother down
. . .etc etc. . .

LET ME OUT

(May)

Yeah Nice and gentle

Ooh I been sleeping I been hiding
Beat my head against the wall
I been crying just from staring
At the shame of it all

Let me out
Let me outa here
We can fly away tonight no one will know
We can fly away tonight no one will know
No one will know - that's right

Really talking soon be laughing
It's a brand new world out there
If I'm dreaming it don't matter
I can feel that fresh air

Let me out - let me out
Let me outa here
We can fly away tonight no one will know
We can fly away tonight no one will know
Nobody will know

All our souls on fire

Well I've been waking news is breaking
There's a world outside my door
We can take it we can make it
And I won't ask for more

Let me out - yeah
Let me outa here
We can fly away tonight no one will know
We can fly away tonight no one will know
Not till tomorrow anyway
Then we can be miles away
Let me out baby

Help me Edward

Don't be grieving don't be pouting
Give yourself a holiday
Say you're leaving Sunday driving
Pack your bags up and shout

Let me out - shout it out
Let me outa here
We can fly away tonight no one will know
We can fly away tonight no one will know

Let me out baby
