Heep Song Of The Week 


Week 20

Shelter From The Rain
   (Trevor Bolder, from Sonic Origami, 1998)   

When our hearts were young
We put our hands into the flames
Felt the heat from our emotions
We had fire in our veins
All those night we'd spend
Alone in your room
Though my silent thoughts
I still remember

We would use the power of love
Free our souls in endless love
We would sacrifice
Our hopes and dreams
Because without love
Our world would surely die

When our hearts were young
We never thought that
Life would change
Now the seasons go on
Oh why do we shelter from the rain
And all those nights we'd spend
Alone in your room
Through my silent thoughts
I still remember

When our hearts were young
We had fire in our veins
And each time we touched
We'd melt in the flames
When our hearts were young
We knew pleasure, we knew plain
But each time we kissed
We'd burn in the flames
Feel the fire in our veins


Week 19

Question
   (Box/Lanzon, from Sonic Origami, 1998)   

There's a lie that runs across the human race
There's a truth that draws a tear upon your face
A child is crying and it echoes all over the world

If we try to find some deep communication
Bring an end to war and start a new creation
From the truth inside, it's waiting, it's waiting

Suddenly then the clearest voice will call
Feeling the air you have no choice at all

Can I ask the question to you
Do you know who you are
Do you know what we're doing here
Try to see the way from within
'Cause it isn't outside
Let your honesty see it clear

Why does anger fit our hearts with missconception
Turn us inside out in every direction
From the truth inside that's waiting, it's waiting

Follow the voice that lives inside your heart
Never the choice that tears your world apart

Chorus
Can I ask the question again..........

Take a walk and be a wave upon the ocean
Touch the sky and feel our spirit in motion
This is the love inside that's waiting, just waiting

Suddenly everything is there to see
You can be everything you want to be

Chorus
I gotta ask the question again..........

Are you ready to go my love
Are you ready to be my love
Are you ready to die for love


Week 18

Wake Up (Set Your Sights)
   (Box/Byron, from Very 'Eavy, Very 'Umble, 1970)   

Wake up, set your sights
For never shall we fail
Stand up for your rights
And justice will prevail
You're listening through endless nights
And decision is your goal
So wake up, set your sights
Oh the time is right for your role
Yeah for your role, yeah yeah

Wake up, wake up, wake up
Set your sights
Never ,never, never
Shall we fail
Stand up, stand up, stand up
For your rights
Justice, justice, justice
Will prevail

There in the morning flying over the hills
While many are yawning they are crushed by our wills
Never have I witnessed people in fear
Not like today, not in many a year
Go kill another, there are more close behind
"No" screams a mother, "are you out of your mind"
Though they are shattered they just don't seem to yield
Bodies are scattered in all part of the field
Oh no, did I tell you what would happen if you tried
"Oh God stop this killing" said the young man before he died

Wake up, set your sights
For never shall we fail
Stand up for your rights
And justice will prevail


Week 17

Circus
   (Thain/Box/Kerslake, from Sweet Freedom, 1973)   

Walkin' around this concrete garden
Viewing all in vain
Thinking why a dream
Is driving everyone insane

Then something will come
And make you feel
The master in control
Still you're picking up
And screwing anyone
Who's got a soul

I've been here
Far too long to remember
Sights and sounds
From this town of clowns
Makin' up, dressin' up
Walkin' around
Thinkin' that you're Greta Garbo's
I'm sorry my dear
But we only sat down
And laughed and laughed in sorrow
But it was you
That opened the door
And it's that we thank you for

Everyone insane ...
Everyone's insane


Week 16

Dream On
Being, In Love
   (Trevor Bolder, from Sea Of Light, 1995)   

Been travelling this road for so long
My eyes are tired but I carry on
The sun lays down its golden threads
I need a place to rest my head
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you

It's hard to be out here on my own
So far away, so far from home
I need to touch and feel your skin
To live this dream in sleep again
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you

So dream on, dream on
Freedom comes with timeless sleep
Dream on, dream on
In the arms of night
Your silent shadow gently speaks
Dream on

This hotel room's a lonely place
It's a one night cell I must escape
So I drink away my loneliness
So I can sleep and dream again
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you

And as I fall into
The darkness of the night
You come to rescue me to
Shield me in your light
I feel your touch
The softness of your skin
You hold me close before
The day breaks in
This dream's so true
My heart it beats, it beats
It beats for you, for you
