LADY
(Coverdale, Moody)

She got them eagle feathers; cocaine eyes
She got the heat to make a dead man rise,
A rose in her hair, a devil may care attitude.
She never said she would stay by my side,
She only wanted to be there for the ride,
A bottle of wine, a coupla lines
An' she was there for the night.

Tried to change her ways,
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage.
She said: 'Oh no this ain't no place for me'

Angel of mercy, angel of greed,
Never stop 'til she get what she need
She dance like Salome
An' curses with a matelot tongue
I said baby won't you slow down for me,
You got to move, if you wanna be free
Like the wind I'm just blowin' anywhere I please

Tried to change her ways,
I said I'd keep her in a golden cage
She said: 'Oh no this ain't no place for me'

Lady, you're no lady,
You're my woman
Got the love I need
You are my woman
Never change her ways
Never keep her in a golden cage
Cos' she say: 'Oh no, this ain't no place for me'

Lady,You're no lady
You're a woman
I got the love you need
You're a woman
You'll never change my ways
You'll never keep me in golden cage
Cos' I say 'Oh no this ain't no place for me'

BLINDMAN
(Coverdale)

I was dreaming of the past
Why do good times never last?
Help me Jesus, show the way
I can't hold on another day.
I was hungry, feeling low,
Just couldn't make out which way to go,
Chasing rainbows
That have no end,
The road is long without a friend ........

Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call,
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul ........

Just a young man looking homeward,
Watching the sun go down again
Across the water the sun is shining
But will it ever be the same?

Be my friend, be my brother,
Be the piper, play the call.
Across the seven seas of wonder
Be the guardian of my soul ........

Need somebody, need someone.
Need somebody to call my own,
Like a blindman, I can feel
The heat of the sun,
But, like a blindman
I don't know where it's coming from ......

GOLDIES PLACE
(Coverdale)

I've been looking for shelter,
In the pouring rain,
Walking in circles,
An' coming back again.
Looking up at your window,
An' waiting for a while ........
You may not be the sweetest woman,
But, I love the way you smile ........

Looks like I've been this way before,
Knocking on the same old door.
Tell me stranger, have you seen
The door marked 'anytime'?

Where you can shake it, fake it,
Make it feel so fine ........
Where you can always smell the roses,
But, you know you got to join the line.
Black satin 'n' lace, a painted face,
I get my love in, and leave no trace.
You can get your fun, But it don't come free
If you want you can do it with me ...

So follow me down, follow me down,
Down to Goldie's place,
An' I'll see you there ........

Gimme perfumed garden 'n' flowers on the wall
Sweet smell of surrender,
An' you can try it all.
You don't ask no questions,
You won't get no lies ........
You can get what you want,
For your pleasure
An' you can try it on for size!

Looks like I've been this way before,
Knocking on the same old door
Tell me stranger, have you seen
The door marked 'anytime'?

Where you can shake it, fake it,
Make it feel so fine ........
Where you can always smell the roses,
But, you know you got to join the line.
Black satin 'n' lace, a painted face,
I get my love in, an leave no trace,
You can get your fun, but it don't come free
If you want, you can do it with me,
If you want, you can do it with me,
If you want, you can do it with me ........

So follow me down, follow me down,
Down to Goldie's place ........
An' I'll see you there.

WHITESNAKE
(Coverdale, Moody)

In the shadows of the dark night,
You need a woman by your side.
She help you make it in the cold light,
An' keep you warm 'n' satisfied
If you want some more lovin'
Take your baby by the hand,
Give a little sweetness 'n' sugar
Just making sure she understand ........
Whiteskin women get me howlin' for more
Brownskin honey I love ........

Got a whitesnake, mama
You wanna shake it, mama?
Got a whitesnake, mama,
Gonna let it crawl on you ........
Just enough to see you thro!

You wanna find a little angel
Sweet surrender in her eyes,
Come down hard thro' the morning
'Til the moon is on the rise
For night-time is the right time,
For rollin' under stars above,
Day time, night time, anytimes the right time,
For stealing round an' makin' some love .......
Whiteskin women get me howlin for more,
Brownskin honey I love ........

Got a whitesnake, mama,
You wanna shake it, mama?
Got a whitesnake, mama,
Gonna let it crawl on you
Just enough to see you thro! ........

Backdoor man ain't done nothin'
But, creep around the door,
When he see his woman weeping
He know the snake been there before
Daytime, nightime is the right time
For rollin' when her man has gone,
But nightime is the right time
For makin' sure you're the only one ........
Whiteskin Women get me howlin' for more
Brownskin honey I love ........

Got a whitesnake, mama,
You wanna shake it, mama,
Got a whitesnake, mama
Gonna let it crawl on you ........

TIME ON MY SIDE
(Coverdale, Moody)

All of my life, I've been searching,
Walking on easy ground
The son of my father
Never being pushed around,
I got the Lord in my shadow
The devil in my blood,
If you fool me, baby,
I'm gonna get you like a good man should ........

Like a gipsy
A traveller I was born,
A vagabond without virtue,
I was blessed before the dawn,
I greet the morning,
With my back against the sun,
You never see me baby,
Cos' I'm always on the run ........

Cos' I got; time on my side,
I don't need nobody to hold me
Time on my side,
Sister Bluebird told me,
Time on my side,
An' freedorn on my shoulder,
I'm bound to settle down,
Before I get much older ........

Born on the dark side,
With a sun that never shone,
Never had nobody, to cry
When I was gone
I have always been a loner
I got the drifter in my blood
If you fool, me baby,
IÕm gonna get you like a good man should ........

Time on my side,
I don't need nobody to hold me
Time on my side,
Sister Bluebird told me,
Time on my side,
An' freedorn on my shoulder,
I'm bound to settle down,
Before I get much older ........

PEACE LOVIN' MAN
(Coverdale)

You change your reason
With a wave of your hand
Fill me with wonder,
Like a child
Cos' you never understand ........

It's a sin not to say
When it's over ........
It's a crime to deny
When it's gone ........
Cos' you're fooling yourself
An' nobody else,
It's a sin if you carry it on ........

If you wanna make love
You whisper my name.
I say I never wanna use you
For your love
But, you take me, an' you make it
All the same .......

It's a sin not to say
When it's over ........
It's a crime to deny
When it's gone ........
Cos' you're fooling yourself
An' nobody else,

It's a sin if you carry it on ........
Cos' I'm a man
A peace loving man
An' I'm so tired of holding inside
What I feel
I don't wanna hide ........
Peace loving man

SUNNY DAYS
(Coverdale)

I'm tired of bars in Boston
'bin feeling small in New York
Scared of guns in Houston
An' tired of business talk.
Don't wanna talk about it,
Don't wanna get in no fight,
I just wanna go to a rock 'n' roll show,
An' shiver 'n' shake all night ........

Theres a riot in the Hyatt
An' madness in the Holiday Inn
So throw your big leg over me, babe,
I might not feel this good again.
Ccccrazy, the road can make you crazy,
Makes you bold, an' get cold,
Cold in your jellyroll ........
So wontcha .......

Take me back to sunny days again
I won't be leaving until the summer ends
Leave me in the company of friends
I left behind me, many miles away ........

Here, there, everywhere,
No doubt about it, I had my share,
Paid my dues, got my rock 'n' roll shoes
An' that's alright?
But, I never, never, never thought I'd see the day
When I'd be dancing alone, so take me where the music,
Take me where the music play ........
Then you can ........

Take me back to sunny days again
I won't be leaving until the summer ends
Leave me in the company of friends
I left behind me many
Oh so many ........
I left behind me ........
Many miles away ........

HOLE IN THE SKY
(Coverdale)

Everyday I'm more confused,
Living a life I don't really know
You laid your love before me
An' I saw you knocked me down,
You had me screaming for more ........

There's a hole in the sky,
Don't tell me your sorry,
Who cares?
There's a tear in my eye,
Don't you tell me your sorry
Who cares?

I used to be cool,
But I ain't no more
When you told me it was gone,
Always playing love songs alone,
Without you near I'll never make it on my own ........

There's a hole in the sky
Don't tell me your sorry,
Who cares?
There's a tear in my eye
Don't tell me your sorry
Who cares?

Now, everytime I wanna hold you,
You keep your love locked away from me,
Now, I can feel it,
An' I need it close to me
If you really want me,
Baby if you really care ........
You've got to stay right by my side,
You've got to stay right by my side ........
Cos' I need you, babe ........

CELEBRATION
(Coverdale, Moody)

Gonna round up all the folks I know
Who never had it good,
Who don't know when they're feelin' fine
When naturally they should.
Recently I seem to have become
A new born man,
I wanna share with everyone
An' help them if I can ...

Gonna open up the door
An' never feel down, no more ...

Celebration...
Celebration.

Feelin's come an' go again;
Never as you please.
They hang you up, an'
Let you down
An' bring you to your knees.
But, when you're feelin' good
There's nothing you can't do
I'm gonna take you to a Mardi Gras
An' lay a smile on you ...

Gonna make you feel alright
Gonna make it through the night

Celebration ...
Celebration ...

Gonna round up all the folks I know
Who never had it good,
Who don't know if they're feelin' fine
When naturally they should.
Recently I seem to have become
A new born man
I wanna share with everyone
An' help them if I can ...

I've never been one to tease
I only wanna please ...

Celebration ...
Celebration ...
