Об одной песне Uriah Heep

               В отношениях мужчины и женщины не должно быть
               ничего недосказанного. Всё должно быть предельно
               просто и ясно: или – или! Формулу этих отношений
               ещё в 1978 году определили великие «Uriah Heep»
               в концерте «Fallen Angel» («Падший ангел»), назвав
               одну из своих композиций «Love or Nothing» («Лю-
               бовь или ничего»).

Слушайте, други мои, эту замечательную песню:

Uriah Heep / Love or Nothing

(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la,
La-la-la-la, it's gotta be love,
La-la-la-la, it's gotta be love or nothing)

You gotta make up your mind,
'Cause you're runnin' out of time.
You know it's your game,
And the winner takes all.

It's time for you to realize -
There's gonna be no compromise.
It's gotta be love (it's gotta be love)
Or nothing at all (gotta be love or nothing)!

(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la) It's gotta be love
(La-la-la-la) Or nothing at all!

(ooh) I've thought about a new beginning,
(ooh-ooh-oo) But you know your heart's not in it .
(ooh-ooh-oo) There's something inside,
(ooh-ooh) That ain't hearing my call.

(ooh) And each new misty morning
(ooh-ooh-oo) Brings a constant warning -
(ooh-ooh-oo) It's gotta be love (it's gotta be love)
(ooh-ooh) Or nothing at all!

(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la) It's gotta be love
(La-la-la-la, gotta be love or nothing) Yeh! (Yeh!)

(La-la-la-la) Ta-dum-da-ta-dum-da,
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la) You give me your love
(La-la-la-la) Or nothing at all!

(La-la-la-la) Mm-mm,
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la) You give me your love!
(La-la-la-la) You give me your love or just nothing!

(It's no good)
Climbing in the back seat
In the name of love,
Or tryin' to be somebody
That you know you're not,
Sneakin' out the back door
At the dead of night,
'Cause you're never gonna find out
What it's really like!

(La-la-la-la) La-la-la-la ,
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la) It's gotta be love
(La-la-la-la) Or nothing at all, hey-na-na!

(La-la-la-la) La-la-la-la-a-a,
(La-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la) It's gotta be love,
(La-la-la-la) It's gotta be love or nothing!

(Ooh, la-la-la-la)
(Ooh-ooh-oo) Oh-oh-yeh! (la-la-la-la)
(Ooh-ooh-oo) It's gotta be love (it's gotta be love)
(Ooh-ooh) Or nothing at all (it's gotta be love or nothing), well!

(Ooh, la-la-la-la)
(Ooh-ooh-oo) Ooh, baby! (la-la-la-la)
(Ooh-ooh-oo) Mm, gotta be love (it's gotta be love)
(Ooh-ooh) Or nothing at all-oh (it's gotta be love or nothing)!

(fade out)
