I SURRENDER
(Russ Ballard) I surrender to your heart babe Do anything that you want me to do Please be tender I'm in your hands girl This is a feeling I never knew You know I tried to make it on my own That's not the way it was meant to be Spend my time waiting by the phone Oh darling come back to me I surrender, I surrender I'm giving up the role of pretender Oh be tender, girl be tender Can't you feel the love that I send you I surrender I remember, seems like a lifetime Can't believe it's a matter of days Since you left I'm near to heartbreak I want you so bad don't turn away What does it take to stay by my side You know I'll do what you want me to Don't take away this feeling inside I'm still in love with you I surrender, I surrender I'm giving up the role of pretender Oh be tender, girl be tender Can't you feel the love that I send you I surrender I surrender, I surrender Darling now won't you be tender Surrender, oh surrender Feel the love that I send you I surrender  SPOTLIGHT KID (Blackmore/Glover) You don't know what's happening, you want to go home But there's nowhere to hide You walk out on stage, your first time alone The crowd's going wild And you feel so alive You could stand up and take this all night They love you but you're in love with the spotlight You're the spotlight kid Jokers and women they hang 'round your door They're all part of the scene Just like a junkie you've got to have more It's a pleasure machine And you fly every night But the dressing room mirror don't lie They love you but you're in love with the spotlight You're the spotlight kid Your audience died, faded away Leaving you on the stage It's been so many years since that first matinee It seems like an age Encore one more time For the ghosts of the past in your mind They love you but you're in love with the spotlight You're the spotlight kid You're living in a dream You're the spotlight kid You're in love with the spotlight NO RELEASE (Blackmore/Glover/Airey) Through this smoke the dancers move Demonic dirty downtown groove Visions of the day retreat Come on baby feel the heat And be at peace But when my mind is clear I can't get no release In the dark the dancers shout Scream the cry of freedom out Strobe crescendos in the night Minds take cover, souls take flight Oh let me disappear Set me free, set me free Buy when my mind is clear I can't get no release Set me free, set me free baby Well I can feel it yeah I can feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it MAGIC (B. Moran) There's a light in the sky that hangs on the edge of illusion Something very fine but it's something you know is there Mystery of time hidden by a man of confusion But the hand is quicker than the eye Only the stranger knows why 'Cos it's magic You know it's magic that you'll find You see it's magic I know who you are and there's magic in you >Keep your eye on the man And don't look away for a moment How is it done how does he make me see Something up his sleeve when speaks you want to believe him But the hand is quicker than the eye Only the stranger knows why 'Cos it's magic Can' you see it's magic that you'll find You know it's magic I know who you are and there's magic in you Driven by a force Moving in another dimension Here for today, gone for eternity Seeking for truth hidden by the word of his wisdom But the hand is quicker than the eye Only the stranger knows why Can't you feel it's magic You know it's magic that you'll find I said it's magic I know who you are and there's magic in you VIELLEICHT DAS NÄCHSTE MAL (MAYBE NEXT TIME) (Blackmore/Airey) Instrumental CAN'T HAPPEN HERE (Blackmore/Glover) Contaminated fish and micro chips Huge supertankers on Arabian trips Oily propaganda from the leaders' lips All about the future There's people over here, people over there Everybody's looking for a little more air Crossing all the borders just to take their share Planning for the future And we're so abused, and we're so confused It's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse Can't happen here, can't happen here All that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here Supersonic planes for a holiday boom Rio de Janeiro in an afternoon People out of work but there's people on the moon Looking for the future Concrete racktracks nationwide Juggernauts carving up the countryside Cars by the million on a one way ride Using up the future And we're so abused, and we're so confused It's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse Can't happen here, can't happen here All that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here Satellites spying for the CIA The KGB and the men in grey Wonder if I'm gonna see another day Somewhere in the future We got everything we need for a peaceful time Take what you want but you can't take mine Everybody's living on the sacred line Worried 'bout the future And we're so abused, and we're so confused It's so easy to believe that someone's gonna light it Easy to believe someone's gonna light the fuse Can't happen here, can't happen here All that you fear they're telling you, can't happen here can it? FREEDOM FIGHTER (Blackmore/Glover/Turner) You can't control me tell me what to do Chained in mediocrity so I can be like you I am not a statue not part of a machine I'm sick and tired of the whole routine Calculate your future, computerize your past Instant replay if it's gone too fast Take away my freedom, take away my home I'm only human but it might now show I'm not made of stone I'm a freedom fighter I got something to say I'm a freedom fighter get out of my way Hide behind your politics, hide behind your rules Tell me I'm a man but you treat me like a fool It's the same old story with a different name You give us all a number and nothing changes Out in the winter of a world upon it's knees Everyone is watching but no one sees You can't take my freedom you know it is my right If you try and stop me I'm gonna fight With all of my might I'm a freedom fighter and I'm taking command I'm a freedom fighter and I'm making a stand Fighting for breath as the world gathers speed Time's running out for the things that I need I'm a freedom fighter I gotta take a stand I'm a freedom fighter, yeah that's what I am I'm a freedom fighter I can't take it no more I'm a freedom fighter no no more I'm a freedom fighter but I'm not afraid I'm a freedom fighter get out of my way MIDTOWN TUNNEL VISION (Blackmore/Glover/Turner) Take good care it's a tightrope ride Neon city is on the dreamers' side Prime time losers going underground They take you up and they shake you down Can't see nowhere Don't know, and I don't care 'Cos here comes another midtown tunnel vision Sidewalk cruiser in stiletto heels Frozen heart, eyes of steel Wrap your body around my soul Electric love is gonna take its' toll Can't see nowhere Don't know and I just don't care That girl is the mother of my midtown tunnel vision Sunset skyline night turns to day Down on the street you could fade away No second chances in this here wasted life It'll cut you down like a switchblade knife Can't see nowhere Don't know and I just don't care DIFFICULT TO CURE (BEETHOVEN'S NINTH) (Trad. Arr. Blackmore/Glover/Airey) Instrumental
