Haunting ballad by Uriah Heep from the 1972 album The Magician’s Birthday. It’s raining outside But thats not unusual But the way that Im feeling Is becoming usual I guess you could say The clouds are moving away Away from your days And into mine Now its raining inside Its kind of a shame And its getting to me A happy man Why should you want to Waste all my time The world is yours But I am mine Rain, rain, rain in my tears Measuring carefully my years Shame, shame, shame in my mind See what you’ve done to my life This is a fan video and is covered and protected under the Fair Use clause of the US Copyright Act of 1976 as amended by the DMCA of 1998.

Uriah Heep – Stealin’ (1973)
Stealin’ è tratto da Sweet Freedom (1973), il sesto lavoro da studio degli Uriah Heep. È riconosciuto all’unanimità come il miglior pezzo dell’album ed ebbe all’epoca il meritato successo in molti paesi. David Byron, in grandissima forma, dà l’ennesima prova della sua estensione vocale, con un ritmo accattivante scandito in maniera veramente efficace dall’organo di Ken Hensley. Stealin’ (1973) ________________________ Take me across the water cause I need some place to hide I done the ranchers daughter and I sure did hurt his pride Well, there’s a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine I don’t need no food and no water, Lord cos I’m running out of time Fightin’, killin’, wine and women gonna put me to my grave Runnin’, hidin’, losin’, cryin’ Nothing left to save… but my life Stood on a ridge and shunned religion thinking the world was mine I made my break and a big mistake stealin’, when I should’ve been buyin’ All that fightin’, killin’, wine and those women gonna put me to an early grave Runnin’, hidin’, losin’, cryin’ Nothing left to save… but my life, life, life… So I stood on a ridge and shunned religion thinking the world was mine I made my break and a big mistake stealin’, when I should’ve been buyin’ I was stealin when I shouldve been buyin I was stealin when I shouldve been buyin Stealin, when I shouldve been buyin .. I was stealin …

Uriah Heep – Choices
Great song this classic hard rock band with John Lawton from Innocent Victim album; lyrics: I was walking alone thru a side show With passion and pain on each side. Something inside me was calling For a chance to stay alive. At the time I didn’t know what was calling As my head was buried in grief. Today I heard what was crying. My FREEDOM calling me And we all make our choices Like a blind man feels his way, And the choice I’ve made is simple: Passion over pain. When I got to the end of the side show And looked back to where I had been, My eyes filled with teardrops of loneliness For the ones who will never be free And we all make our choices Like a blind man feels his way, And the choice I’ve made is simple: Passion over pain. I thought of the children in the side show As they wandered around so confused. Some day they’ll make their decision But which one will they choose? And we all make our choices Like a blind man feels his way, And the choice I’ve made is simple: Passion over pain.
