Wishbone Ash Album

You want me to go and steal
A million dollars
You make me fight an army
Win and get away

I've got so many things to tell you
I've got so many things to say

You expect me to lay the crown
Jewels at your feet
Pour upon you gold and
Silver too

I've got so many things to tell you
I've got so many things to say

Nasty things that you ran away from
Will catch you up again
Heroes that you try to be like
Will make you feel your pain
There'll you sit alone and lonely
Everything'll turn gray
You try to figure out the high
Life came and made you insane

You want me to go out and steal
A million dollars
I got to hold everybody off
While you get away

We'll be leaving this town in the morning
Tomorrow we'll be able to see
I've seen enough of the city
And she's had enough out of me

Say if I climbed to the mountains
Would you still follow me there
Steal me away in an echo
The mountains will always be there

I'm turning my sights on the country
I've sold everything that I own
I'm heading away from the bright lights
Looking for where the wind blows

Say if I climbed to the mountains
Would you still follow me there
Steal me away in an echo
The mountains will always be there

Rock 'n roll keeps dragging me
Where I don't know and you can't see
Cities keep rolling by and by
Twist my arm and sting my eye

Watch me join the circus
Watch me steal the show
There ain't no easy money
There ain't no easy road

Buy me, pay me, wonder why we
Stumble across the land
Don't fail for me, I can't fail for you
We start to understand

Trust in me, I'll try to do
Everything to help you that I can
Broken wings can heal and mend again
Don't be afraid to cry your tears out loud
Everybody needs to have a friend

It's only love that I can give
And I give to you the only love I have
When I see you're IN MYSERY
It makes me want to try and understand
Everybody needs a helping hand

If everything should turn around
And it's me who feels so down and out
You could be the kind of company
To share a load and know how bad it feels
Everybody needs to have a friend

Doctor can you help me please
I'm laying on the floor
I need a glass of something
Like you gave me once before
I'll send my little messenger
He'll bring the money to you
He'll slowly make his way back home
There'll be no horror show today my friends
And me we'll be up and get away
If I fill your every need
You won't feel so empty
In my web I'll bet your life
You're dead before you're thirty

Doctor can you help me please
I trust you like my mum
I know that you won't stop me turning
All the whole world on
You know that I'll always come to you
When everything goes wrong
You pick me up, don't let me go down
To the horror show today my friend's
And me we'll be up and get away

In a garden of the southland
He found her wandering astray
She came to show him of her beauty
That many passersby don't see

Would you be taking in
Such frail-looking lady
The sadness of her lone display

Dressed in yellow fire burning
The corner dweller on the lane
Sorrow was her only feeling
For she could have no living shame

Take good care of time
To sow your own true seed
The summers end will bring your leaving

Then he journeyed for a long ways
She was never in his mind
Came he home to just a memory
For the lady she had died

Take good care of time
To sow your own true seed
The summers end will bring your leaving

Remember the bar garden
Glass filled with beer
Nothing to lose, only good times to gain
A friend to help along
When the words wouldn't come
Sing out the song brother
Sing it loud and clear
Then we'll laugh together
Like the old days (so dear)

The rusty guitar
Its sound filled the air
Out of tune choruses
That didn't sound quite there
How about the joker
He got his laugh and then he said

Sing out the song brother
Sing it loud and clear
Then we'll laugh together
Like the old days (so dear)

The way the things are now
It's not the same anymore
And I sometimes wish that
We could all sit down together
And sing it all again

It happened in an open field
Down in a southern state
And no one knows the reasons why
Some would say it's hate
They shot the guy who sold the dogs
It came as some surprise
And to the lady standing there
Brought sadness to her eyes

She's a rock and roll widow living in this town
Another rock and roll widow since they gunned him down

The heat of the day still hung around
As night began to fall
The sheriff came up from the town
In answer to the call
The band played on in darkness
Not knowing what to do
As people ran from side to side
Just looking for a clue

She's a rock and roll widow living in this town
Another rock and roll widow since they gunned him down
