RINGSIDE (Pete Ham)
[electrified acoustic guitar demo from "7 Park Avenue" CD]

Take your seat by the ringside

Watch them bidding for your blood

Who will own you tomorrow?

Will you be misunderstood?

Take me back to the Father

Take me, take me, take me home

For I can't bear to feel the sorrow

Of the evil that you've shown


Keep your ear to the grapevine

Hear them sell you down the line

Watch, they'll cross you tomorrow

While they smile and say it's fine

Take me back to the country

Let me, let me, let me roam

For I can't bear to feel the sorrow

Of the evil that you've shown

Of the evil that you've shown.

Take your seat by the ringside

Watch them bidding for your blood

Who will own you tomorrow?

Will you be misunderstood?

Take me back to the Father

Take me, take me, take me home

For I can't bear to feel the sorrow

Of the evil that you've shown


Keep your ear to the grapevine

Hear them sell you down the line

Watch them cross you tomorrow

While they smile and say it's fine

Take me back to the country

Let me, let me, let me roam

For I can't bear to feel the sorrow

Of the evil that you've shown

Of the evil that you've shown me


Why oh why, did you prove me wrong?

When my faith in you was strong, really strong

Oh but now, the magic's gone


[instrumental]


Take me back to the Father

Take me, take me, take me home

For I can't bear to feel the sorrow, oh

Of the evil that you've shown

Of the evil that you've shown.
