Lyrics for the LP "Alan Price"
Rainbow's End

It's all just a dream...
Walkin' down the streets inflamed
I close my eyes and feel ashamed
The world is turning out to be just like an open drain
Killers here and sinners there
The buildings ache with disrepair
The streets are filled with this tortured 20th century's stain

The crowd enjoys the suicide show
Tells the man to jump into the streets below
The siren chorus are joining in the fun
The wino in the basement dump
Hears the body on his trashcan thump
Now's the time for the father to collect your son

Will I ever live in Rainbow's End
Where everyone is everybody's friend
And the world of care is left behind
And happiness is easy to find
Will I ever live in Rainbow's End
It's all just a dream...

Will I ever live in Rainbow's End
Where everyone is everybody's friend
Where happiness is easy to find
And the world of care is left behind
Will I ever live in Rainbow's End
It's all just a dream...

The sun shines on suburban wives
Who live their alcoholic lives
In hazy, lazy days going old, confined, and mad
And their husbands are executives
The title means just more credit to live
They hold their kids and say
What a wonderful time we're going to have

Will I ever live in Rainbow's End
Where everyone is everybody's friend
Where happiness is easy to find
And the world of care is left behind
Will I ever live in Rainbow's End...[repeat]

I've Been Hurt

I've been hurt, been made to feel so bad
I've been accused of sins I've never had
I've been told how to organise my life
I've seen blood but I never held the knife
I've been hurt, been made to feel so bad

I've been used, manipulated's what I've been
I've been cursed by a mean old gypsy queen
I've been told I've wrecked a dozen lives or more
I was innocent, 'cos I didn't know the score
I've been used, manipulated's what I've been.
Now tell 'em what I mean..

[instrumental break]

I've been fooled, but I won't be used again
I'll be cool, no Pavlov's dog inside my brain
I remember what she done to me
I will taste the fruit long before I buy the tree
I've been fooled, but I won't be fooled again.
I've been hurt, I've been hurt, I've been hurt....

I Wanna Dance

It might be because we're under southern stars
Or under a moon that shines for hours and hours
Maybe it's just because a girl like you
Can make me do anything that I wanna do
I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby, don't you know
I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby, don't you know

Oh, let's leave the others and we'll dance alone
Darlin', I want you for my very own
Down on the beach by the rolling sea
It's amazing what the music can free in me
I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby, don't you know
I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby, don't you know

I wanna dance

I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby don't you know
I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby don't you know

Oh, a little more food and a glass more wine
I may be anybody's but at least you're mine
It's a shame that a day like this will have to end
But please remember me because I'll always need a friend
I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby don't you know
I wanna dance with you baby, dance with you baby don't you know

Let Yourself Go
by Theodore Thunder/David Rose

Lovers are bound to quarrel
On some rainy day
And should their love be dying
They're in each other's way
Words are often spoken
With such little truth behind them
So I'm gonna leave the door open
In case you change your mind

I can see what you're doing to me
And I know you want to be free
Take the time, try to unwind a little bit
Then you'll find there's nothing to do
But let yourself go

It's such a shame that it had to end this way
'Cos I was really sure that this time it was gonna be right
Don't hold yourself back
Open your head wide
And let the time ride

'Cos I can see what you're doing to me
And I know you want to be free
Take the time and try to unwind a little bit
Then you'll find there's nothing to do
But let yourself go

Understand the meaning of what I'm trying to say
Our love is on the rocks now, darlin'
And I just can't stand the pain
You're drinking all my whiskey
Just to pass away the time
You behave as though we're strangers in our world
And to me that's such a crime

I can see what's happening to me
And I know you want to be free
Inside out, turn me about
Why don't you underline the things on your mind
And let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let yourself go...

Just For You

Just for you, I'll take whatever life can give
Just for you, I'll pour the ink right out my nib
I can do all the things you've ever wanted to do
Every single moment I think about you
For you, I'll do it all just for you.

Just for you, I'll take the rough and take the smooth
Just for you, I'll try to do my best to prove
I can do all the things you've ever wanted to do
What's more, baby, everything is times two
For you, I'll do it all just for you.

Just for me, you're all I ever dreamed you'd be
Just for you, I'll reach out and shake the money tree
I will do all the things you've ever wanted to do
What's more baby, everything is times two
For you, I'll do it all just for you.

I'm a Gambler

I'm a gambler
I keep on taking chances
And I'm playing with my time
And if I lose, well, now, I ain't gonna worry, Lord
I keep layin' it down hard on the line.

I'm a gambler
A little gentleman of fortune
I don't owe nobody nothing
And if I did, well, I ain't gonna worry, Lord
I'll give it all away and I'll start all over again

I'm a gambler
I keep on taking chances
But my feet are always on the ground
I'm a gambler
I keep on taking chances
But I move so fast that they never hear a sound.

Poor Boy
By John Gordon

Well, I'm a poor boy
I'm smarter than the rest
I'm a poor boy
I won't take second best
I'm coming after you
And there's nothing you can do
So give me your love, love, love.

I'm a poor boy
And I've got myself a plan
I'm a poor boy
Goin' to steal you from your man
There's nothing you can say
'Cos I'll get you anyway
So give me your love, love, love.

Some were born to give
Some were born to take
I was born for taking everything I can make
Some wer born to run
Some were born to fight
And I was born for loving and stealing in the night

Well, I'm a poor boy
But I'm going to the top
I'm a poor boy
I aint' never gonna stop
I'm coming after you
'Cos there's so much we could do
So give me your love, love, love.

The Same Love
By John Gordon

All you people out there
Who think that love is so good
Well, the warning I give
Will be misunderstood
Love is a poison
Too sweet to resist
And the seeds have been sown
Since the first time you kissed

The same love that takes your heart
Is the same love that takes it apart
Stay out of the rain is a lesson I've learned
Don't play with the flame and you won't get burned

So you think it's a gamble
And you think it's a game
Or a ride on a tiger
You think you can tame
It will hold you, control you
And string you along
And hurt without mercy
When your lover has gone

All you people out there
You'd better listen to me
When the one that you want
Becomes the one that you need
All your nights will be long
All your luck will be bad
When the one that you need
Will be the one you can't have.

Is It Right?
By Theodore Thunder/David Rose

Flowers are still in bloom
The garden is out of tune
Summer has been and gone
But still all the flowers are lingering on

Like the weather you come and go
And where you come from nobody knows
Alll my friends say what a hopeless mess I'm in
And all I ever do is cry
I can't remember some of the places I've been
And I don't even know some of the faces I've seen

Is it wrong, wrong, wrong, or is it right?
I just can't tell you
It takes a long, long time
To get it right
I just can't wait that long

Come on, girl, you know I'm blue
I've got my sense of direction following you
Like the weather you come and go
And where you're comin'g from nobody knows
I can't remember some of the places I've been
And I don't even know some of the faces I've seen

Is it wrong, wrong, wrong or is it right?
How can I make you be my light
My sunshine every day

Why do I feel so blue
Is it because we're through
I think it's down to you
'Cos somehow I'm hoping my dreams maybe are gonna come true

Life Is Good

When the long day is over
And the lights start to shine
In that magical moment
When the whole world is mine
I just think of the wonder
Of the life that I lead
And I thank you for giving
All the love that I need

You are more than anything I've tried to win
You have shown me where it all begins
And it's good to know
That my nights are aglow
With the light of your smile
At least for a while
Life is good.

The Thrill

Oh, I just love the thrill of rock'n'roll
It gives release unto the darkest soul
The thickest yob can get a job
Rock'n'roll can keep you off the dole.

Oh, I just love the groupies and their style
They'll do just anything just for your smile
They'll take you to bed and they'll take your bread
And put the stories on the newspaper file

Have you heard the latest
So-and-so's not straight
He drops lots of downers
But his latest single's great

Oh, I just love the thrill of rock'n'roll
It gives release unto the darkest soul
So I'll remain on board the roundabout
And make a fortune with records and a shout.

Have you heard the latest
About so-and-so's new deal
His contract specifies hookers
He says they give him a better feel

Oh, I just love the thrill of rock'n'roll
It gives release unto the darkest soul
The thickest yob can get a job
Rock'n'roll can keep you off
Rock'n'roll can keep you off
Yes rock'n'roll can keep you off the dole.
