The King Is Dead
(copyright nazareth, tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
I have not come to worship you
Only flowers at your throne
I have not come to plead or beg
Or to claim what is my own
Oh I know you are the king
And youll say what is wrong
I have come to cut you down
And to leave your body dead
You do not mean so much to me
Nor that crown upon your head
You are just as sad as me
You are lonely flesh and blood
And the time has come for you to die
And now you bleed, please spare my life
You know Im the chosen one
I dont believe what you bequeth
And I must do what must be done
You say youre the only king
Your words just fall like rain

King Is Dead
I have not come to worship you
Only flowers at your throne
I have not come to plead or beg
Or to claim what is my own
Oh i know you are the king
And you'll say what is wrong
I have come to cut you down
And to leave your body dead
You do not mean so much to me
Nor that crown upon your head
You are just as sad as me
You are lonely flesh and blood
And the time has come for you to die
And now you bleed, please spare my life
You know i'm the chosen one
I don't believe what you bequeth
And i must do what must be done
You say you're the only king
Your words just fall like rain

King Without A Crown
Welcome to the great republic
Guess I should show you round
Where once I was a king
And now I am a clown
The love that we once shared
Made a king of me
But now youre gone... but now youre gone
All I face is poverty
...king without a heart
...king without a hope
...king without a woman baby
Oh Im a king without a crown
...king without a heart
...king without a hope
...king without a woman baby
Oh Im a king without a crown
Hell hath no fury
Like a woman scorned
But heaven dont boast - no heaven dont boast
The jewel - the pretty jewel I just pawned
Every cloud has a silver lining
Every dog has its day
Oh but I guess the sun stopped shining
On the day you went away
...king without a heart
...king without a hope
...king without a woman baby
Oh Im a king without a crown
...king without a heart
...king without a hope
...king without a woman baby
Oh Im a king without a crown
...king without a heart
...king without a hope
...king without a woman baby
Yes Im a king - king! king without a crown
Bathed in former glory
Deposed from my throne
How do I get to tell my story?
When all gets your answerphone...
But you aint home
With the love you gave
I felt like royalty
But now youre face to face - face to face
With one ex-member of the aristocracy
...king without a heart
...king without a hope
...king without a woman baby
Oh Im a king without a crown
...king without a heart
...king without a hope
...king without a woman baby
Oh Im a king without a crown
Theres no need to feel down
Yeah just take a look around
Youll see a man whos just a man
Nothing more
A king without a crown

Sad Song
(copyright nazareth, tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
Every song I sings a sad song,
Every note seems out of key,
Every line I write falls out of rhyme,
Since youre far away from me.
Every night I watch the stars fall,
Watch them till Im fast asleep,
But when Im sleeping, Im not dreaming,
Since youre far away from me.
Oh but I need you,
Honest I do,
You know that I miss you,
Ill always miss you.
Every song I hears a sad song,
Every word applies to me,
Loneliness is something I know about,
Since youre far away from me.

I Will Not Be Led
(copyright nazareth, tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
You have your rules and regulations,
You say his love is my salvation
Then talk of faith and segregation,
You say that I must wait,
He will communicate,
I will not join your congregation.
You force me into situations,
Preach bad of sin and fornication,
Forget your sworded celebration,
My heart fills up with rage
Who are you to gauge,
The purpose of my worlds creation.
I cannot see the light your seeing,
I have my own thoughts to believe in,
I will not heed the words your hearing,
I will not be accused, my liberty abused,
You chose the cross that you are bearing.
Y want me to believe the words you read
But I dont believe in what your good book says,
I just believe that when Im dead, Im dead.
You say I must repent,
Bow down and show respect,
I am a man and I will not be led.

Called Her Name
(copyright nazareth, tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
Called her name but the wind blew strong,
I called in vain though I tried so long,
Called the sea to bring her home,
But the sea dont hear and Im still alone
I feel an emptiness inside
Something within me I cant hide
Standing here looking at the sky,
But the light I see cant tell me why,
I feel an emptiness inside,
Something within me I cant hide.
Everytime I stop to think
Thats the time I get lonely
Thats the time it hurts the most
Everytime I get lonely.
What went wrong, who am I to blame,
Did I take too long, to call her name,
I feel an emptiness inside
Something within me I cant hide.

Now you say youre leaving
Leaving me without a friend

How can you say you want to be free of me
Now you say its over

Tellin me youre going away for good
Never coming back and Ill never see you again

You left me here with my empty arms
My empty rooms
And my empty heart is crying
Nothing is left for me now youre gone

In My Time
(copyright nazareth, tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
In my life theres places Ive seen,
Places Ive been in my life.
In my life theres things I have done,
Times I have won in my life.
Ships I have known,
Winds that have blown.
In my time were people who cared,
People who shared in my time,
Welcomed the good accepted the bad,
Enjoyed what I had in my time.
People Ive known
Times on my own
And now Im growing old,
In memory I can hold
My picture book unfolds and i
Can feel myself grow cold.
In my life theres times to forget,
Things to regret in my life,
May have done wrong but tried to do right
I followed the light in my life,
But now the lights grow dim,
My days are closing in.

Red Light Lady
(copyright nazareth,tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
Down at the house with the red light
She works from seven til dawn
Youll find her there any time that you like
Some days a week shell be on
Down at the house with the red light
I was a boy not to sure of myself
When I was first taken down
Down to the house with the red light
Two miles west of town
I paid my fee and I went on in
Into the house with the red light
Pull up a chair, up the stairs
The key was cold and dampened my hand
Opened the door, heard her say;
Into my room and set yourself down
She let us lie on this shiny brass bed
Curtains and flowers in her hair
She played my soul and she shattered my head
Could not believe I was there
Down at the house with the red light
I fell in love with that lady
First love I knew, she gave me
Seven days a week, you can find her
Down at the house with the red light
I fell in love with that lady

Dear John
(copyright nazareth,tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
You came round today
You never even knocked on my door
Your note tried to say
That you dont love me no more
Bridge:
I want you by my side cause
I wanna be your man
Im burning up inside cause
I wanna be your man
I had to be told
From people that I meet in the street
They are turning cold
Without you I would not be complete
Bridge:
Why did you write me in a letter
A word from you would be much better
Lead
Bridge
Dont cast me aside
Without you I could never survive
Why did you decide
To kill the love that keeps me alive

Love, Now Youre Gone
(copyright nazareth, tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
Love, now that youre gone,
I just cant carry on,
Love left a space,
I cant erase that face,
Love that I knew gone like the morning dew,
What will I do without her.
Love, where is she now,
I sit and think of how,
She used to be,
Happy to be with me,
Love that I knew gone like the morning dew,
What will I do without her.
Love, left me for good,
I never thought she would,
Now Im alone,
Wondering where shes gone,
Love that I knew gone like the morning dew,
What will I do without her.

Down On Love
Some people stay all alone and hide
They dont even want to know the reason why
Theyve given up on finding someone new
But new love comes, its gonna come for you
When true love comes, its gonna comfort you
Now you say youve got a broken heart
You oughta know this side of love can leave you torn apart
Dry your eyes cause your hearts gonna mend
And maybe tonight youll fall in love again
Yeah, maybe tonight youl fall in love again
But I know, I know that youre down on love
But youre wrong, so wrong
To be down on love
Now love seems so far away
Your skies are so cloudy
And the tears come like fallin rain
Face up to it and dont pretend
And maybe tonight youll fall in love again
Yeah, maybe tonight youll fall in love again
Just once in a life youll realize
When love takes two, only one heart cries
But youre wrong, so wrong to be down on love
You know youre not the only one
See Ive been down on love
In matters of the heart
You better know before you start
You cant get down on love
So always be prepared
To be alone and a little scared
But never down on love
You see you cant stay down forever, girl
Down on love
Come on, now
Dont get down on love
This aint right baby, no
Down on love
Dont you go through life livin down on love
Down on love
Dont you go through life livin down on love
Down on love
Dont you go through life down on love
Down on love
Down on love

Cul-de-sac
Wake up now, this is the time youve waited for.
Far below, where shadows fester as they grow,
An army thousands strong, obsessed by right and wrong,
They sense their time is coming near.
So they turn towards the light from their region of the night,
Marching on and on,
They near the air, it wont be long.
You know youre on the way out,
Its just a matter of time.
You thought youd rule the world forever,
Long live the king, and dont spare the loser.
After all, youre not what you thought you were at all.
Youre just a natural fact, another cul-de-sac
On natures hard unfeeling trail.
Now all those dreams of old will be stories left untold,
Cut off in your prime, extinct until the end of time.
You know youre on the way out,
Its just a matter of time.
You thought youd rule the world forever,
Long live the king, but dont spare the loser now...
Now the host emerges, and a shadow starts to fall.
Not one knows what hit them, none can see at all.
Even as the end approaches still theyre not aware,
How can you fight a foe so deadly
When you dont even know its there?
And now that the job is almost done
Maybe some escape, no, not even one.
You know theyre on the way out,
Its just a matter of time.
You thought youd rule the world forever,
Long live the king, and dont spare the loser.

Cats Eye, Apple Pie

Cats eye, apple pie, what am I going to do,
The woman I loved walked out on me,
What am I going to do.
Hound dog, bull frog, she just up and gone,
The woman I love has done me wrong,
What am I going to do.
Green beans, blackeyed peas,
What am I going to do,
The woman I love has let me down,
What am I going to do.
Shes a delta queen know what I mean,
As mean as wildfire lightnin,
She can win and break the heart of any man,
Shes the delta queen of new orleans,
And she loved me somethin frightnin,
But she left me for a dollar wavin man.

1692
(copyright nazareth, tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
Mist upon the hill can remember murder,
Mist upon the hill that once flowed with blood,
Helped to cover up an approaching army,
Hid the killing lust in the eyes of men.
Sitting by the fire was a sentry sleeping,
Rolled up in their beds were children that play,
Unsuspecting what was to fall upon them,
None of them would see the dawn next day.
Bloody were the blades that fell on children,
Hate the blinding light tried to kill a name,
The mountains only know all the souls that died there,
Glen coe from that day can recall the shame.
The quiet of the night never gave them warning,
The silence of the hills wouldn't let them know,
They'd never rise again on a mist filled morning,
Never see the sunrise above glen coe.

Country Girl

You are a girl from the country
Your eyes remind me of the sun
You came to visit in the city
And won the hearts of everyone
You are a girl from the country
Your hair is colored like the corn
I have never been outside the city
I am no friend to anyone
Chorus:
Country girl wont you stay a while
Wont you stay a while with me
Country girl wont you stay a while
Let me see you smile for me

Before you came I was alone
Please say youll take me to the country
And let me share your country home

Blood Money
(myles goodwyn)
Published by northern goody two tunes, ltd./capac - ascap
No one can say, that crime doesnt pay, that never is true
Its supply and demand, with blood on your hands, nighmares come true
Its in all the headlines, youre the worst of a kind, a sinister breed
Such a contemptable way, to have your own say, youre poisoned with greed
I said oh no (no no no no), youre completely insane
I said oh no (no no no no no), youd take a life for material gain
Blood money, you got blood on your hands
Blood money, but still you make your demands
Blood money, you cant get any colder
Blood money, but still youre thinkin it over
You dont have to be smart, it dont take any heart, least of all, shame
Some turret stunt, open in the front, your motive is plain
And for those that contend, with the choice to condemn, I know that you care
For those left alone, when its time to go home, and nobodys there
I said oh no (no no no no), youre completely insane
I said oh no (no no no no no), youd take a life for material gain
Blood money, you got blood on your hands
Blood money, but still you make your demands
Blood money, you cant get any colder
Blood money, but still youre thinkin it over
When youre out on the street, and you got nothin to eat, its easy to see
That you do what you can, still I dont understand, how wrong you can be
Though its all very clear, that you bargain with fear, theres no justice at all
Its easy for some, they say the bigger they come, the harder they fall
I said oh no (no no no no), youre completely insane
I said oh no (no no no no), youd take a life for material gain
Blood money, you got blood on your hands
Blood money, but still you make your demands
Blood money, you cant get any colder
Blood money, but still youre thinkin it over

Fool About You
(copyright nazareth, tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
Sometimes I feel Ive been hung on a line,
Wasting my time,
Sometimes I feel Ive been hung upside down,
You turned me around just a fool about you.
Sometimes I feel Ive been left on the moon,
Fed with a spoon,
Sometimes I feel like a dog with no bone,
Or a toad with no stone, just a fool about you.
Sometimes I feel like saying goodbye,
cause Im living a lie,
Sometimes I feel like a clock with no time,
Or a verse with no rhyme, just a fool about you.
Sometimes I feel like a bird with no wing,
Or a bee with no sting,
Sometimes I feel like a train with no line,
Or a glass with no wine, just a fool about you.
Everybody knows Im a fool about you
Just a fool just a crazy fool,
Everybody knows I cant live without you,
So what am I gonna to do.

I Had A Dream
(copyright nazareth,tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
I had a dream
I had a dream
I saw the mission band,playing on the green
It was the saddest thing,i have ever seen
What did it mean,what did it all mean?
And in my dream,in my same dream
I saw the soldiers marching,on the green
The band played a funeral march
Many a tear was seen
All in my dream,all in my dream
Lead
I heard the lesson read,i heard the choir
I saw the falling leaves,landing everywhere
I saw the family gathered,crying in despair
I was not there,i was not there
