Born In A Trunk
Album: Very 'Eavy ... Very 'Umble ... (1970) (out-take)
Mick Box /David Byron

You were born in a trunk
Everyone talkin' about you
You were born in a trunk
Where would they be without you

You better move off the rails
People begin to look subways
You better move off the rails
You won't even listen to my way

I'm livin' in shame
People say I don't matter
I'm livin' in shame

Simon The Bullet Freak
Album: Salisbury  (1971) (out-take)
Ken Hensley

Freed of empty faces
Give me your money
Make my life sunny for a day
Road that leads to nowhere
Please stop your crying
I ain't fit for dying this way

Go steal another with your eye
Go try some other heartless lie

Land of hopeless speaking
Bringing back the moon
Don't play your silly games with me
Oh, war of wasted daydream
What is your need
I'm gonna bleed until you kill me

You've lost all sight of your direction
You're only looking for the next one
The next one to kill

Ashes of destruction
Spread out so far
Blackened others crying over me
See a one time city
Now just a scar
Tears of the flower man
Fill the sea

Give me a chance to fly away
There's nothing here for me today
Today

Here Am I
Album: Salisbury  (1971) (out-take)
Ken Hensley

I sit in my sunny chair
With my head held low
I know the reason I'm dreaming
It's really been fun
But where is there left to go
Save to give my life a new meaning

And if by chance
You'd come my way
I'll have to say
Here am I, give me love
Here am I, give me love

How was I to know
Your heart was unsatisfied
When you never troubled to tell me
No wish that you made to me
Ever was denied
I played it just the way
That it should be

But then you turned
And walked away
I have to say
Here am I, give me love
Here am I, give me love

Here am I, give me love

I imagine I must sit here
Till the winter comes
And just watch the days
Growing shorter
To gather in dust won't go
Till my thinking's done
And I walk from this troubled water

By then my need won't be so bad
And I'll gladly say
Here am I, give me love
Here am I, give me love ...

Magic Lantern
Recorded as Very 'Eavy ... Very 'Umble ... sessions
Mick Box /David Byron

When you look inside
My magic lantern
All the world is yet unseen
Try to gaze into
The yellow glowing
To get a reflection of me

In a land of make believe and magic
You can be just anything you feel
You think that what you’re in is a dream
But know that the lantern is viewing

View the magic lantern
Take a trip around the world
View the magic lantern
There’s a thousand
Mysteries unfurled
And I know one of them

I remember your face
Can’t remember the place
Here on our own
Living alone

You can dream that
You’re a man of power
Ready to be happy with your gold
Without love your mind is going sour
Money’s no good when you’re old

View the magic lantern
You can have the sky above
Yeah, the magic lantern
You’ll buy everything but love
Everything but love

Why
Recorded as Look At Yourself sessions at Lansdown Studios July 1971
Mick Box /David Byron /Paul Newton /Ken Hensley

Thought of no tomorrow
The pain, tears and sorrow
And you never told me why
The way you cheated
And mistreated
You could never tell me why

But I’m gonna find out
I’m gonna find out
What’s been messing up your mind
Messing up your mind

Is there any true reason
Or anything I can explain
Can’t we talk about it baby
Get together again
You see I have the feeling
That this isn’t the end
And I feel it knowing
On you I depend

I’m gonna find out
Yeah, I’m gonna find out 
What has been
Messing up your mind

Perhaps it’s best for us
To stay together 
And try to live our lives as one 
And maybe we will find
We’re still together
To watch the setting of the sun

Hey girl, you’re the one
That got me started
And I bet you’ll be
The one to get us parted
In the beginning, in the beginning
You were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Now everybody’s had their fun

How I’m wishing
We could live together
Ooh, but the answer
In your eyes is never
In the beginning, in the beginning
You were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Everybody’s had their fun

Well, you and me
And we know what we’re saying
To the rest of them
It’s a game we’re playing
In the beginning, in the beginning
We were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Everybody else will come

How I’m wishing
We could live together
Ooh, but the answer
In your eyes is never, never
In the beginning, in the beginning
You were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Or the mother of my son

In the beginning, in the beginning
You were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Everybody had their fun

How I’m wishing
We could live together
But the answer in your eyes is never
In the beginning, in the beginning
You were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Everybody had their fun

You and me
And we know what we’re saying
To the rest of them
It’s a game we’re playing
In the beginning, in the beginning
We were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Or the mother of my son

In the beginning, in the beginning
You were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Everybody had their fun

What's Within My Heart
Album: Look At Yourself (1971) (out-take)
Ken Hensley

Will I never see again
The smiling faces of my friends
Could it be they've gone completely
And though thoughts will linger
Sweetly in my heart

May I hear once more
The bird calls my name
May I be permitted just one friend
To share my game

The one who doesn't give a damn
For what I seem to be
And really cares for what I am and
What's within my heart

I believe the sun will shine
And I know that given time
The leaves will blow tumble and
Cry upon the autumn stone below

And my heart grows tired each day
As the sun grow cold
Weary uninspired each day
Til the story is told

You gave your love to one
Who only wants
What you seem to be
And doesn't really care for you or
What's within your heart

On my grave lay one black rose
Do this for me but don't suppose
Because I'm gone, my soul is dead
For I'll be here in spirit
And our love once more

There must be a heart somewhere
In need of the love I have
That will reach out in sincerety and
Take my life in hand

Then I'll know it's not some one
Who wants just what I seem to be
The one who cares
For what I am and
What's within my heart

What's within my heart ...

What Should Be Done
Album: Look At Yourself (1971)
Ken Hensley

So you think
You found a way of living
That prevents
You losing any sleep
Well, my friend
Take this that I'm giving
It's your piece of mind
You oughta keep

You'll run into trouble for sure
By living behind a locked door

Will you run the risk
Of being taunted
By doing what you wanna do
Or do you prefer to have
Your whole life haunted
By the ones who
Choose to care for you

Beware of their motives my friend
Take care
You're still there at the end

Watch out for winter
It'll bite you with cold
Black spirits trying hard
To bribe you with gold

Would you steal a nickel
From a blind man
Well, right now
I do believe you would
It's not the thought of you
Doing it that hurts me
It's the mind behind it
What's no good

If this is your way
I don't wanna know
It's only so far I can go

I won't go no further
Not for you or anyone
I have my own ideas on
What should be done

What should be done

Mick Box /David Byron

Well, the very first time
I saw you darling
Not one single word
Would come to my lips

Yes, the very first time
I saw you darling
Not one single word
Would come to my lips

You see, I was so afraid
You wouldn’t love me
I wanna tell you right now
I was frightened right down
To my fingertips

So baby, when you went away
That unlucky day last September
I was like a little lost boy
In the wilderness
Baby baby baby ...
When you went away
I was like a little lost boy
In the wilderness

And I’ve just been sitting here
Thinking of everybody
I’ve ever known
Well, you know
I still love you the best
Yeah, the best

Oh, I want you babe
I want you all to myself
And now and then
I’m gonna hold you
Tell you that I’m gonna love you
Come with me and I will show you
In a while I’ll get to know you

Oh, you know I needed you woman
I needed you, I needed you
Every day and night, right
Now and then
I’m gonna hold you
Tell you that I’m gonna love you
Come with me and I will show you
In a while I’ll get to know you
Yeah, yeah, oh

Well, you know what
The secret is I guess
And you think you know
Who your lover’s wife is

So you better stop
That thing you’re doing
Baby, you‘re driving me, driving me
Driving me to my ruins
But I, I want you babe

When I was a young man
Always trying to say hello babe
But you’d never know
You live in want
Never knowing that I existed
Till my mind was twisted
I was always trying, sometimes crying
Oh, I needed you, needed you
Needed you ...

Stop that thing that you’re doing
Baby, you‘re driving me, driving me
Driving me to my ruins
Oh, I want you babe

I needed you, I needed you
Every single day
Of my entire life
And everytime I tried
Someone else would come along
There it went again

But now and then
I’m gonna hold you
Tell you that I’m gonna love you
Come with me and I will show you
In a while I’ll get to know you
You and me we’re gonna make it
Come with me, we mustn’t break it

Everyone said that you’d always
Been left but you got there
Here we are now when
The rest of the show are not there
Nobody knows by the look of
Your clothes you’re a schoolgirl
Who would’ve guessed
By the way that you’re dressed
You’re a schoolgirl

You said on my lap that
I wasn’t the right kind of person
What I wanna know is that
Who in the show I am worse than
Who would’ve guessed
By the way that you’re dressed
You’re a schoolgirl
Nobody knows by the look of
Your clothes you’re a schoolgirl
Oh, schoolgirl

Looking for something
That you can’t have ...

You said on my lap that

Look At Yourself
Album: Look at Yourself (1971)
Ken Hensley

I see you running
Don't know what
You're running from
Nobody's coming
What'd you do that was so wrong

Look back and turn back
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself

If you need assistance
Or if all you need is love
There's no point in hiding
Tell me what you're frightened of

You've got a friend, just
Look at yourself
Don't be afraid, just
Look at yourself
