Hallo - just for fun » Learning English Part IV

Hey Leute,

angeregt durch die 3 Englisch-Lektionen von Heepsoni habe ich hier noch eine kleine Selfmade-Story in Englisch, bestehend aus Uriah Heep Songs und ähnlichen Zutaten. Die Story ist frei erfunden... Viel Spaß...!


STAY ON TOP-DREAMS (because URIAH HEEP CAN’T STOP SINGING TALES)
or: ”DREAM ON-You CAN’T KEEP A GOOD BAND DOWN!”

Once upon a time in a HEARTLESS LAND were some HIGH & MIGHTY GODS, living in their WONDERWORLD. They had a lot of SPICE in their PARADISE, sponsored by a SILVER WHITE MAN with a BLIND EYE, who was an URIAH HEEP- Fan. He was THE WIZARD in this WONDERWORLD, called the ”RAINBOW DEMON”.

ONE DAY, it was THE MAGICIAN’S BIRTHDAY, he walked through THE NINTH DOOR and looked to Earth around MIDNIGHT. There he saw a SHADY LADY with her Baby MELINDA. The Father was a BAD BAD MAN and a CHEATER. He went out. Now they are ALONE AGAIN in their PASSION.
In this time of SHOWDOWN a CIRCUS came into Town. The SHADY LADY and MELINDA followed this PILGRIMS into the whole wide DIFFERENT WORLD. The SHADY LADY said: “Life is only an ILLUSION. - WHO NEEDS ME?”. But MELINDA saw it THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD. She had a PERFECT LITTLE HEART, like ALL GOD’S CHILDREN have. A few years later she was a BACKSTAGE GIRL with some Friends in a ROCK & ROLL- Band, called ”THE STALKERS” and sometimes ”THE PLAY”. On stage they made PARTY TIME every MIDNIGHT with SWEET ROCK & ROLL music.

While TIMES were VERY’EAVY, the SHADY LADY and MELINDA CAME AWAY in their town, named HEARTACHE CITY. MELINDA said: ”HERE AM I at home”. STEP BY STEP MELINDA grewed up to a LADY IN BLACK and looked pretty like a PRIMA DONNA. Perhaps ONE DAY she’ll STAY ON TOP as a WOMAN OF THE WORLD…

Then I saw MELINDA. She looked like an ANGEL, and suddenly I felt SUNRISE in my Heart. I REAL TURNED ON to be a BIRD OF PREY, when I walked with her around THE PARK of SALISBURY. It was the beginning of a new TIME TO LIVE in SWEET FREEDOM. A TIME OF REVELATION.

IN THE MOMENT of SYMPATHY the SUNSHINE went away. It began to RAIN. I stepped into wet HORSE SHIT* and fell on my SWEET PRETENDER. In this moment I wished, that I could FLYING HIGH and away, because in my head I heard ECHOES IN THE DARK! MELINDA laughed and said: ”WHAT A FUNNY OLD WORLD - You’re looking like a CIRCUS- Clown!” I answered: ”LOOK AT YOURSELF!”. She said: ”WHY?”. - What a silly QUESTION…
*Listen to SWEET FREEDOM from KING BISCUIT’S FLOWER HOUR…

Later we found a SHELTER FROM THE RAIN, near THE RIVER. There we had a SWEET TALK. We found some SYMPATHY for each other. All was FREE’N EASY. WHEN EVENING COMES, we had our FIRST TOUCH, followed by a HOT NIGHT IN A COLD TOWN. It was like the NIGHT OF THE WOLF for myself! But WHAT’S WITHIN MY HEART?
She said: ”You’re my LOVE STEALER…- Suddenly I felt A CHANGE of SPIRIT OF FREEDOM and HIGH PRIESTESS in my heart.

The next morning we saw a wonderful SUNRISE. There seemed to be RED LIGHTS and CHASING SHADOWS in the sky, FALLING like a sweet ILLUSION. OUT ON THE STREET went a little group of travelling GYPSY people, who are PILGRIMs and MAGICIANS. With their magic CRYSTAL BALL and some wonderful guitars they made a BEAUTIFUL SOUND on this JULY MORNING. Oh yeah, that’s EASY LIVIN’! And one of them played a HAMMOND B3…

While I looked to THE SHADOWS AND THE WIND and listened to the GYPSY people, the TIME WILL COME to go. We went OUT ON THE STREET. What must I see? There are some people STEALIN’ my car! But they were FOOLS. IN THE MOMENT of flight they crashed on a HANGING TREE near the GOLDEN PALACE at the PACIFIC HIGHWAY.
I ALWAYS KNEW, that the car was stolen by CORINA’s Gang. That DEVIL’S DAUGHTER is a FALLEN ANGEL. As a PRISONER now she has a lot of TIME TO LIVE. What a ROUGH JUSTICE…

ONE DAY, it was a COLD AUTUMN SUNDAY, MELINDA must go home. She left me, and there was NO RETURN. Suddenly I felt some SHADOWS OF GRIEF. In my PASSION I prayed ”FREE ME!”. So finally I could say: ”LET IT RIDE”, while her plane started. Now I’m ALONE AGAIN. But she said: ”Next year I’ll come HOME AGAIN TO YOU”.

ONE ON ONE week I sent her BLOOD RED ROSES. DO YOU KNOW, how hard it is in this CRIME OF PASSION? EVERYTHING IN LIVE FEELS LIKE FIRES OF HELL. It was A FAR BETTER WAY ACROSS THE MILES, to work hard in this time BETWEEN TWO WORLDS:
Sometimes in that LONELY NIGHTS. I dreamed about a VALLEY OF KINGS, where I am RUNNING ALL NIGHT (WITH THE LION!). But it is only the VOICE ON MY TV, what made me SO TIRED and gave me that DREAMMARE.
And othertimes in my SLEEPLESS NIGHTS I feel LOVE IN SILENCE. - A LOGICAL PROGRESSION, Isn’t it?

SEVEN DAYS every week I’m a DREAMER. A YEAR OR A DAY - it FEELS LIKE a SPLIT IMAGE! I wished to be ACROSS THE MILES and to WALK THE LINE, to see my GYPSY QUEEN again. And sometimes I wished to be a TRAVELLER IN TIME. Then I would SAIL THE RIVERS and STEAMING ALONG the SEVEN STARS, to feel the WINDS OF TIME and LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND, to see my POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL.

Meanwhile the GODS are LYING with MYSTY EYES on their soft clouds. They are PLAYING FOR TIME with a CRYSTAL BALL every MIDNIGHT. Nobody knows the NAME OF THE GAME they played. DO YOU KNOW it? If you can say it, then HOLD YOUR HEAD UP and SHOUT IT OUT!
Then they saw MELINDA SEARCHING for her ”LOVE STEALER” SO TIRED. But he’s BEEN AWAY TOO LONG. SHE STILL CALLS HIS NAME.

”WHAT CAN I DO”, said the RAINBOW DEMON with the BLIND EYE. ”That’s not THE EASY ROAD for these young people. Every day FEELS LIKE SUNDOWN in their PERFECT LITTLE HEARTs. ONLY THE YOUNG are our future. I will ask THE MIRACLE CHILD MR. MAJESTIC TONIGHT, to find ONE WAY OR ANOTHER to help.”…

In A YEAR OR A DAY I’ll KEEP ON TRYING to RETURN TO FANTASY, and this TALE will be continued. THE TIME WILL COME…

P.S.: Wer bietet mehr... ?

Hi Heepsoni,

freut mich, daß es dir gefällt. Da habe ich einige Wochen dran gearbeitet, immer mal zwischendurch. Ich brauchte damals zu den Byron/Lawton- Recherchen einfach mal etwas Ablenkung...

LG Uriah

Super Uriah!
