May Be A Price To Pay

(Lead vocal - Elmer Gantry) Something's wrong in this House today While the Master was riding the Servants decided to play Something's wrong in this House today Something's been going on there may be a price to pay There's evil brewing, getting out of control And I'm helpless I can't put it right Something's unrighteous is possessing my soul And it's cold in the heat of the night Something's wrong in this House today While the Sorcerer slept the Apprentice decided to play While the Master was hiding the Servants decided to play Might be too much Sun or too much of something in the Air Whatever's happening nobody else is aware There's evil brewing, getting out of control And I'm helpless I can't put it right Something's unrighteous is possessing my soul And it's cold in the heat of the night Something's wrong in this House today Something's been going on there may be a price to pay

Time

(Lead vocal - Eric Woolfson) Time, flowing like a river Time, beckoning me Who knows if we shall ever meet again If ever But time Keeps flowing like a river To the sea Goodbye my love, Maybe for forever Goodbye my love, The tide waits for me Who knows when we shall meet again If ever But time Keeps flowing like a river (on and on) To the sea, to the sea till it's gone forever Gone forever Gone forevermore Goodbye my friends, Maybe for forever Goodbye my friends, stars wait for me Who knows when we shall meet again If ever But time Keeps flowing like a river (on and on) To the sea, to the sea till it's gone forever Gone forever Gone forevermore

I Don't Wanna Go Home

(Lead vocal - Lenny Zakatek) Go back home you damn fool Surely you know you can't win You should never have come near this place You should have stayed outside, Lookin' in It's too late to turn back Nobody asked you to try But they blinded you with diamonds And all the money that money can buy And I'm so afraid of being on my own But I don't wanna go home You can't win you damn fool You drank all the wine from the cup And your painted lady's gone now And you're way back on the downside, Lookin' up You can't catch the monkey on your back Nobody asked you to try But for every heart they held a spade And you lost more than money can buy And I'm so afraid of being on my own But I don't wanna go home I'm like a washed up rag Tattered and torn I wish I'd never been born And I'm so afraid of being on my own But I don't wanna go home I'm like a down and out just blowin' my horn Oh I don't wanna go home I'm like a washed up rag Tattered and torn Oh I don't wanna go home

The Turn of a Friendly Card

i. The Turn of a Friendly Card (Part 1)

(Lead vocal - Chris Rainbow) There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains And a wheel in perpetual motion And they follow the races and pay out the gains With no show of outward emotion And they think it will make their lives easier For God knows up till now it's been hard But the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card No the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west Where you can't tell the night from the sunrise And not all's the king's horse and all the king's men Have prevented the fall of the unwise For they think it will make their lives easier And God knows it's been hard But the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card No the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card But a pilgrim must follow in search of a shrine As he enters inside the cathedral...

ii. Snake Eyes

(Lead vocal - Chris Rainbow) Snake eyes Seven eleven Don't let me down boys Gimme Snake eyes Seven eleven Don't let me down tonight No don't let me down tonight Just one minute more, Give me just one minute more It's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright Just one minute more, Then I'll walk right through that door It's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright If ya gimme Snake eyes Seven eleven Don't let me down boys Snake eyes Seven eleven Don't let me down tonight No don't let me down tonight Just one minute more, Then I'll walk right through that door It's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright But'cha gotta Gimme one more marker more Then I'll walk right through that door Gimme one more, don't let me down It's gonna be alright, alright, alright

iii. The Ace of Swords

(Instrumental)

iv. Nothing Left to Lose

(Lead vocal - Eric Woolfson) Nothing's good the news is bad The heat goes on and it drives you mad Scornful thoughts that fly your way You should turn away cause there's nothing more to say You gave the best you had to give You only had one life to live You fought so hard you were a slave After all you gave there was nothing left to save You've got nothing left to lose (you've got nothing left to lose) No you've got nothing left to lose (who'd wanna be standing in your shoes) Nothing ventured nothing gained No more lingering doubt remained Nothing sacred or profane Everything to gain Cause you've nothing left

v. The Turn of a Friendly Card (Part 2)

(Lead vocal - Chris Rainbow) There are unsmiling faces in fetters and chains On a wheel of perpetual motion Who belong to all races and answer all names With no show of outward emotion And they think it will make their lives easier But the doorway before them is barred And the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card No the game never ends when your whole world depends On the turn of a friendly card
