Альбом Wishbone Ash

When a days work is done
And you're down on the ground
You come home just to find
That she's not around.

You see red, you see red,
When she takes you for a fool.
You see red, you see red
Read the writing on the wall.

What you give is what you get
When it comes to loving.
If you lie, make her cry,
She will leave you alone.

You see red, you see red,
When she takes you for a fool.
You see red, you see red
Read the writing on the wall.

So you drink your gin,
And drown your sorrows,
Don't expect a tomorrow.
Wasting away ain't now way to say
That you're sorry, for what you have done.

When a days work is done
And you're down on the ground
You come home just to find
That she's not around.

You see red, you see red,
When she takes you for a fool.
You see red, you see red
Read the writing on the wall.

No Smoke Without Fire
If the sky was light
And the moon shine brightly
Then we'd be away tonight
Better chance be taken
Than love forsaken
This ain't no mistake that I'm making.

Baby the angels are here,
Brought me a bible and a gun,
Baby I wanted to stay with you,
But they're saying I'd better run,
Cause heaven's a footstep away.

Well I was hoping to make it
Sometimes you put it together
Before you try
Let it take its course,
Because you just can't force it
And I don't want to break down and cry.

Baby the angels are here,
Brought me a bible and a gun,
Baby I wanted to stay with you,
But they're saying I'd better run,
Cause heaven's a footstep away.

Morning morning give me something
Open my eyes to a new way
Wailing sailing wind of wonder
Carry me cross your dividing line

Ships in the sky, I've seen 'em pass by
Shining bright in the night
Don't look behind you

Do I imagine these footsteps behind me
Can't see with this smog in my face
Tracy trace your hands they are shaking
Tell me what you have seen

Ships in the sky, I've seen 'em pass by
Shining bright in the night
Don't look behind you

The wind and the moon are behind me
I feel like a highway man of old
Don't give no mercy I don't need no alibi
I'm out to pick me some love from the jewelled sky

Watch for me by the moonlight
If hell doesn't block my way
And you will be my prize of the night
(And) If I'm only dreaming, tell me how and why
I'm gonna take your love or your life
Stand and deliver

When I climb inside your window
With more in my mind than a share of the night
You can kick bite and scratch, but you'll have to surrender
The chances are you won't see me no more

No Smoke Without Fire
When will you ever learn
That's what you said to me
Bigger the head that turns,
I say, maybe he's happy
So quick to fire, never a liar in honesty

It's hinged on a stranger thing
Than friends or enemies
From where comes the song I sing
Anger in harmony

Could he be in love again?
You know that she's got the touch
The thing is we're just good friends
Smoke without fire don't mean too much
Your trigger finger's itching on your loaded tongue

But it's hinged on a stranger thing
Than friends or enemies
From where comes the song I sing
Anger in harmony

The sky is changing
The clouds are gathering, we can see
It's growing darker day by day,
But I'm so high
Within this stormy weather
God is the wind, could take my soul,
Even as I pray.

You with your lack of time
Me with my lack of space,
Where are you my love?
Lost in your reckless dreams.

I tried to share your garden of Eden,
But temptation trims the wings of those
Who only wish to know.
Denied - stop looking for a reason,
It's hard to face the time to fly,
Harder still to go.

You with your lust for time,
Me with my lust for space,
Where are you now my love?
Lost in your restless dreams.

And though we're strong and tough,
Can our hearts open wide enough,
To recognise the faults
And then to smile?
And though we tear each other's hearts and minds,
We show no sense,
We can still have our innocence,
Like a child.

Keep the wheels turning
On this lonely road
A slave of mother nature
I've got to get back home
Such a grey coloured nightmare
Of what used to be so good
Dreams and desires
It's the way - the way of the world.

See a light in the distance
Going to show me the way
Another road to be taken
Another stage to be on
Carry me, carry me
A little closer home
Dreams and desires
It's the way - the way of the world.

Stormy weather, take me to
Back where I belong.
At the airport, on the plane,
Now I'm going home.
Takes so long, flying high,
I just love the way of the world.

Stormy weather, take me to
Back where I belong
At the airport, on the plane
Now I'm going home
Takes so long, flying high
I just love the way of the world

If I don't get you in this life
I'll get you in the next one
I love you as much as anyone I love
Though we're only flesh and blood
I hope I'm not a dog or maybe a monkey
And I hope you'll never forget your promise to me

You said that you're a firesign
Who's spirit fire never dies

Walking forward
Stumbling on this twisted road
The Queen of words thinks she'll use her magic
Make me into a toad
The rain was falling, black cat stalking warning me
Lightning cracks and gooseflesh - what's this power I can see?

You're the firesign
How do you do

Now that we didn't meet for a while
I'll be your favorite boy
If you'll be my favorite smile
You'll never know who's the best in bed
When you're dead in heaven or hell it'll be me who
Creeps up and says "Hello"

You're the firesign
Who's spirit fire never dies

The river flows so new and clear,
But nuclear bombs are something I can't trust.
Heaven's stars look so peaceful,
But men are still fighting men all around us.
And what's your precious life but gift to you?
Who could have put you here in green and blue?
If you're gonna spend your talents before you die,
What better place to spend them than time and space?

Peace on Planet Earth,
It never was, and how could it ever be?
The king will come so greatly -
Well, everyone says, "I'll believe it when I see".
Everybody wants that perfect love, if they can -
It cannot be found in another woman or a man.
If I'm gonna have a good time before I die,
What better place to spend it than time and space?

Power is the Kingdom,
But is it possessed, or is it given?
To be what you will be in turn;
To love, to hate, kill, or create in living.
And now I see that it's all mine to choose,
Everything to gain and everything to lose.
And if I'm gonna gain or lose it all before I die,
What better place than here in time and space?

We're all livin' in time and space...
But I'm lost in time and space....

You shone out of the darkness
The light in your eyes.
I could not help myself
I did not want to try.

Like the singing of the Lorelei
Your voice rang clear and true
Mystery and danger was all I got from you.
Oh, you mesmerized me, oh, you tantalized,
Like the singing of the Lorelei.

And you knew everything
There was to know about me.

Like the singing of the Lorelei
Your voice rang clear and true
Mystery and danger was all I got from you.
Oh, you mesmerized, oh, you tantalized
Like the voice of the Lorelei.

I had troubles aplenty,
My pockets were empty
From livin' out on the sidewalk.
Footsteps takin' me nowhere,
But where can you go when you don't know
What it is you're lookin' for?

Just as I was a desperate man
You made the sun start to shine,
You said,"Baby, come in from the rain".

You could see down the stitches and patches
That were holdin' me together,
So with stolen faces, hand in hand,
We made footsteps together for musicland.

Used to be I had troubles aplenty,
My pockets were empty, yeah,
From the bad life on the back streets.
But when your footsteps are takin' you nowhere
Where can you go and what can you do
When you don't know what you're lookin' for?

Hey, just as I reached the real world
You made the sun start to shine,
You said,"Baby, come in out of the rain".
Oh, yeah, I said you made the sun start to shine,
Oh, baby, come in from the rain.

Well, I been away,
I said I been away for so long.
Tell me, have you,
Have you done me wrong?
Can I tell by the look that's in your eyes,
Have you kept your loving locked away inside?
Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues?
I done time, I got carried away,
I done laid this high-class babe out in the hay,
Spent half a year in the jailhouse all alone -
This never would have happened if I'd stayed at home, oh no.
Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues?

Come on everybody, then, clap your hands in the air.
Come on, a little bit louder, a little bit louder,
Come on everybody. I'll teach you, come on,
We want to hear you. Louder, louder!
We want you all to join in with us -
When we say "Yeah", when we say "Yeah",
We want you to say "Yeah". You got it?
Come on, are you ready? Can't hear you!
That's better, here we go.


Say yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Can you shake the dust, can you shake the dust,
Can you make me shine?
Can you shake the dust and make me shine
Like they do in Sheffield all the time?

Been everywhere around the world,
Seen every, every kind of girl, yeah.
But it moves me the way that I think I know,
And it weakens me, so make your loving flow.
Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues?

Can you shake the dust from off my shoes -
Take away these bad weather blues.
