Master's Apprentices "Easy To Lie" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Master's Apprentices",
also known as: "Choice Cuts"

** 1971- song, video- ?

Wake up to yourself before you die

The truth is hard but it's easy to lie

I can't tell how to get it on

It's in your head long before you've born

I guess it's all a matter of time

To find the answer's in your mind

One day you'll quickly realise

That the future's right before your eyes

We could be so much closer today

It's not our fault things have happened that way

We live in a world of darkness and sorrow

Now we'll find a new life starting tomorrow

Master's Apprentices "Death Of A King" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Master's Apprentices",
also known as: "Choice Cuts"

** 1971- song and video,
video- Australian ABC-TV program "Hit Scene"

Don’t go walking in the streets today

Negro was killed and the whites must pay

Panthers on the loose, Panthers on the loose and they’ll cut him down

Revenge is the song that they all sing

Get the man who killed Martin Luther King

Oh I’ve gotta say, Oh what a bloody day

Make your own laws, take a life and he’ll take yours

State militia to the bronx they go

With batons and guns they’ll meet their foe

Panthers on the loose, Panthers on the loose and they’ll cut him down

Revenge is the song that they all sing

Get the man who killed Martin Luther King

Oh I’ve gotta say, Oh what a bloody day

Make your own laws, take a life and he’ll take yours

Master's Apprentices "Rio De Camero" (lyrics found)

* From album: "Master's Apprentices",
also known as: "Choice Cuts"

** 1971- song and video,
video- ATV-0 program Happening 71

Rio De Camero

Don't you know that's where they go

In majestic splendour

In their heads where evil goes

With a silver dagger

Carve a cross upon their heads

Moonshine on the tombstone

By the light they raise the dead

Don't you know they go there

Where the moon is on the rise

See the talon lady

Tear their flesh before your eyes

Fear I may be chosen

Had a choice I'd suicide

Better than be bitten

By the snake that's in her eyes

---------------------------------------------

Master's Apprentices "I'm Your Satisfier" (lyrics found and bit modified)

* From album: "Master's Apprentices",
also known as: "Choice Cuts"

Who am I? I'm your one in desire

Who am I? I set your soul on fire

I've come to get you and you want me so bad, drive you mad

Who am I? I'm your satisfier

Here I come, women better watch out

Here I come, can't you see me walking about

Don't look afraid, when I knock on your door you want more

Who am I? I'm your satisfier

Here I am, don't it make you feel good?

Here I am, said I'm not if I could

Woman in St. Louis, are waiting my call, have a ball

Who am I? I'm your satisfier

---------------------------------------------

Master's Apprentices "Catty" (lyrics found and bit modified)

* From album: "Master's Apprentices",
also known as: "Choice Cuts"

Mother and father gone away for the weekend

Cats are going to play

Get on the telephone, tell him that you're all alone

Can you come over to stay?

Waiting for a chance for a long, long time

We can be soon at home

Bring out the records

Bring out the music and all the rest of the dope

Right now

Get yourself fixed up, beauty from a blue cup

Just about time he arrives

Sound of the door bell

You go and he can tell that it's going to be fine

Right now

Right now

Walk in the living room, hope to be in bed soon

Maybe a joint and we'll see

Place is in an awful mess, hand is halfway to her keep dressed (?)

Come here and sit on my knee

Right now

Wicked woman - all you need is love

---------------------------------------------

Master's Apprentices "Games We Play Part I" (lyrics found)

* From album: "A Toast To Panama Red"

Arguments are games we play

In between the fun

Like a dirty driving rain

In between the sun

Love did not pass us by

In it's strange disguise

Like a blind man in the night

Searching for his sign

You may be lost and pray

You want see the end

The soul that Jesus saves today

Is not to late to mend

We have to lose our way

To know where we've been

Don't do all they told you to

Love was never seen

---------------------------------------------

Master's Apprentices "Games We Play Part II" (lyrics found)

* From album: "A Toast To Panama Red"

And he raised his head

Looked upon the people

His great voice said

When love beckons, follow

Though the path sometimes seems steep and hard

Be old and let the soft wings enfold you

Though the sword hidden among the pinion may cut deep

When the voice speaks to you, believe

For the voice may shatter your dreams

As the north wind lays waste to the garden

For as love is your growth, so it is your pruning

As it ascends to your height
And caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun

So it shall descend to your roots
And shake them in their clinging to the earth

All these things shall love do unto you

As you may know the secrets of your heart

And in that knowledge become a fragment of life's heart

Go into the seasonless world

Where you shall laugh not all you laughter

And weep not all your tears

For love gives naught but itself

And takes naught but from itself

Think not you can direct the course of love

For if it finds you worthy will direct your course

Love has no desire but to fulfil itself

To melt and be like a running brook 

That sings its melody for eternity

---------------------------------------------

Master's Apprentices "Answer Lies Beyond" (lyrics found)

* From album: "A Toast To Panama Red"

We are here, we are where 

We are together and live as one

Doing right, doing wrong

Who knows who's right

The answer lies beyond

You and I, you know

Look at me, look and see

You're a leaf in a forest 

Praying autumn doesn't come

Look at me, look and see

I see the world's spins 'round

Don't let it go
