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 ...

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 Lucy Blues Album: Very 'Eavy ...
