Lyrics - Alvin Lee
"No Title"
1969 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.
Well, I got no worry - and I got no pain,
'Cause when I get rid of them - they come
back again.
I just keep on doin' - what I want to do;
If I keep on tryin' - I'm sure to come through.
Well, money's no problem, it comes and it
goes;
It stops me from starvin', it keeps me in
clothes.
There's a god and a devil, I'm sure it must
be,
But why should I bother them - they don't
bother me.
So I'll keep on playin' - and do what I do;
These strings on my fingers - are all that
is true.

"Nowhere To Run"
1974 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.
I read a lot of things I've seen in the papers
and they went right through my head.
Robbers and killers and midnight rapers
who will get you in your bed.
The world's not safe for living in;
There's too much hate and too much sin.
Got to get help from the new world shapers
or it might just be too late.
Gimme a line on the telephone;
Come on baby, don't make it alone.
No-where to run, no-where to hide
Can't stop you doping, you still think I'm
joking; such a shame.
You know I love you, I'm thinking of you,
you and me.
I heard a lot of tales about heavenly dopers
who are trying to make a break.
Know a lot of folk who are daily smokers
'Cause they just can't take it straight.
Reality can be a strain;
There's too much hate and too much pain.
Got to get some help or the air will choke
us
or it might soon be too late.
Know we've got problems with the air,
Too many people who never care.
No-where to run, no-where to hide.
Can't stop you dying, I'm still gonna keep
on trying; such a shame.
Hang on to your life.
