Carrying No Cross ~ U K ~ Danger Money

Stop!
Been wrong so many times before
I was always laying down the law
And all attractions were a bore
They led me back to you

Uniforms were an allergy
They never felt quite right to me
They conjured war-time Germany
And God knows we need that

Temptation boundaries will never know
The time when my morale was low
The circumstances always show
The place was yours or mine

Carrying no cross before me
No prize to idolize no story
To tell of adolescent glory
Just void, empty spaces nothing to show
No point of reference or place to go
But one thing I'd ignored and so
The light came shining through

Been wrong so many times before
Was always laying down the law
One thing you cannot ignore
Bad boys can come clean
Emotions I could not control
Illuminate my heart and soul
I saw a light, I scored a goal
And what price peace of mind?

Bozzio did, indeed, replace Bruford after the first U.K. LP. It's Bozzio playing Danger Money, and on Carrying No Cross.

One of the best progressive mini-suites ever, by one of the best bands all time!!

@dkofva Terry Bozzio is the drummer on Danger Money, he's easy to pick out, he doesn't sound like anyone else and no one sounds like him. What always makes me smile about Terry is that he will find a way to eventually improv over difficult passages once he is comfortable with the score. I've heard many different renditions of him with Frank Zappa doing "The Black Page 2" (with orchestra). He kills me, he's a swinging grand dandy American classic - fearless, outrageous son of a bitch.

No comment, folks. Took the leftover of me after listening that.

We rock.

If this doesn't kick ass, then we should agree that there has never been anything period that has kicked ass ever.

@dkofva It's Terry Bozzio-however, I saw the 1st US tour of UK, the original band, at the Uptown Theatre in KC, and Bill Bruford did play this song with the band-it just didn't make it to the 1st album

Thank you so much for uploading this ~ my brother owned the album and I listened to this track over and over and over. Delighted to have found it again - still brilliant :D

[startover942]

Never will there be a time when I have heard this one time too many...

[rg2027x]

wish we had bands like this now...

[startover942]

Love this forever! UK is SO AWESOME!!!

[startover942]

Of all the great tracks from this album, this may be my favorite. Then again, from the Danger Money album how can one be above the rest? THEY ARE ALL GREATNESS.

@startover942 that's right and if they don't like it they are killers of small children and fluffy animals and they live in a swamp and probably jerk it while listening to Cher, Madonna or Britney Spears. So there. Imagine though what people that listen to that stuff would have to say about this LOL. "No its no good you can't dance to it. Give me my dance mix". "NO YOU MUST DANCE TO THIS and eat lots of pancakes and jog in the hot sun beforehand"
