Uriah Heep - Return To Fantasy Lyrics






Searching every day
Looking every way
Trying to make a connection
To find a piece of the action
Like a hungry poet
Who doesn't know
He is close to perfection
Choice is the question
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if they cared to look, then they would see
It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy

Can you understand
That in every man
There's a need to unwind
That's never been defined
Somewhere deep within
There's another being
You are somehow abusing
By the person you're using
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if you care to look, then they would see
It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy

Travelling faster than lightning
Closer than ever before
We can go on for you, and take you nearer to
The legend of mystery from the beginning of time
Dreaming... TIME... Dreaming
We can return to the land of the good and the kind
TIME... Dreaming... TIME... Dreaming
Why don't you come to our party and open your minds

In another place
There's a newer face
Like an unfinished painting
Your creator is waiting
The brush and pen describe
What it is inside
That will set your mind thinking
While the others are sinking
Moonlight night after moonlight night
Side by side they will see us ride
But if they cared to look, then they would see
It's our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, oh yeah
Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy

    This song and this album totally blew my mind when it came out in '75. Gerry Bron spent £10,000 advertising it on ITV. Heep did 2 nights at Hammersmith Odeon in December that year. Byron's last ever UK gig was at Wembley Arena in June '76 and he was sacked a couple of months later - the band could no longer tolerate his drinking. No wonder alcohol is forbidden in Islam. It killed David: he died on 28 February 1985 from epilepsy and fatty liver, according to the coroner. Found dead at home at 10 Raymond Road, Maidenhead. Divorced and alone. He refused to rejoin Heep in 1981 after the departure of John Sloman. David was cremated and his ashes scattered. All too sad for words really. His sister Sally Darke told me that David believed in God. So, until we meet again maestro...king of rock...

    F.... E....

    Thank you for that info, he was no longer living at Sonning, Berkshire, it seems found by his brother-in-law, what a pity he could not feel able to return when the opportunity arose after Hensley left. A showman-second-to-none, reputedly drank a bottle of Chivas Regal brandy a day at one period. None who saw his performances will forget. R.I.P.

  11. p.... k....

    I had the album when I was young. Fantastic song!

  12. �.... �....

    Супер! I love David, i love Uriah Heep!

  13. �.... �....

    какой красивый язык английский у Дэвида ! здесь Дэвид в самом расцвете...

  14. H.... C....

    Great great piece

  15. �.... �....

    Один из любимых альбомов Uriah Heep. Слушая Return To Fantasy улетаю на 40 с лишним лет назад, когда было 16. Считаю, что две вещи с альбома: Why Did You Go и A Year Or A Day - сильно недооценены. Но для меня композиторский дар Hensley - не оспорим. Во всяком случае, ничего нового, лучше Uriah Heep 1970-1977 годов за последние 30 лет я не слышал. Наверное все меломаны обречены слушать всю жизнь музыку, которую они слушали в юности.

    �.... �....

    дельный комментарий

  16. W.... ....

    Uriah Heep is the kind of music you just can't listen to with one earbud out.

  17. P.... M....

    Credo che morirò ascoltando gli uriah heep

  18. F.... M....

    Fascinante e imaginativo tema perteneciente a la mejor época de Uriah Heep. La bella voz de David Byron sublima el talento de dos genios como John Wetton y Ken Hensley. Un clásico impedecedero.

  19. H.... 6....

    just got back from their concert.
     They rocked the house!

    H.... 6....

    Its not the same band sadly.

  20. J.... S....

    psicodélico❤

    да, трезвый Байрон - певец от бога!

    Был бы трезвым - не стал бы Байроном...

    @Sergey Chernykh браво .... наверно в этом есть правда. ))

    класика в жанра особено вокала е ненадминат ДЕЙВИД е ненадминат.

    Tobias forge brought me here

    T.... R....

    Same...he said basically this song is “ghost” ...and WOW...sounds like 70s ghost lol

  26. A.... ....

    De los mejores temazos de UH. Epico de la era Byron.

  27. �.... �....

    альбом Return to Fantasy записан уже без Garry Thain который умер в декабре 1975 года...и этот альбом стал Лебединой песней группы ....дальше уже не то ...выгонят Байрона...и Юрай потеряет свой статус....

  28. G.... G....

    It's never been Deefiined🎶🎩

  29. �.... �....

    great song!

    �.... �....

    Its a fucking shit song you dumb fuck

  30. J.... S....

    Can you understand that in every man there's a need to unwind, it's never been defined. One of the greatest lines ever... with a few more greatest lines to follow in this same song. Name them.

    J.... S....

    This song and this album blew my mind in 1975 when it came out. When David Byron was the king of rock. Gerry Bron, Heep's manager, spent £10,000 advertising the album on TV. The band did two nights at Hammersmith Odeon. Then in June 1976 Byron did his last ever U.K gig at Wembley arena. A masterful performance. Then sacked for his drinking. Byron refused to rejoin Heep in 1981 when Box and Bolder went round to see him. He told them: "Join my band". On 28 February 1985 Byron was found dead at his home at 10 Raymond Road, Maidenhead. He died from fatty liver and epilepsy said the coroner.

    Pure truth made poetry... RIP "The Wizard" David Byron

    P.... M....

    I'm wondering what happened to his stage costumes?

  55. W.... O....

    Make sure to get out and never be back to the matrix reality. It's WITHIN, my baby, a splash of You.. Come in!

  56. j.... ....

    Beste låta ,..

  57. j.... ....

    Very Nice,..

  58. G.... S....

    thanks.guys

  59. J.... O....

    I really hope you all feel too that this song is behind its artistic depth also metal as fuck! Blind Guardian and Manowar made a band, ate some acid later on and this music was created.Yeah, I definitely see it possible.Probably without all those muscles in Manowar :-D

    J.... O....

    Simply insane!! Still have it on Vinyl!! Even as a Ritchie Blackmore Freak i had a really hard time admitting to my self I preferred them over Deep Purple!!

    J.... O....

    +David Topchiev yeah! They´re so great man! Just now I have a hangover of biblical proportions yet I´m headbanging like a madman :-D

  60. I.... ....

    God, I'm so happy to know of this.

    I.... ....

    I have all their Records!! They went Platinum in Europe!!

    I.... ....

    +David Topchiev Thats awesome! :)

  61. P.... D....

    Excelente canción

  62. d.... ....

    Did Ken Hensley write this song?

    d.... ....

    no mick box was

    d.... ....

    jamie wesson nope

    d.... ....

    @Mike m. Ken could not have done it without David.

    d.... ....

    @miss havisham David was a mess most of the time especially towards the last album he did with Uriah heep, Mick box then took over

    d.... ....

    @Mike m. I met the band in 1973, they were very gracious they were drinking Mateus Rose, I kept the empty bottle but no longer have it. I think you are right Mick Box was the lynch pin and together with Trevor Bolder tried to persuade David to return in 1981, however, without Ken Hensley's songwriting nothing would have been possible. Neither would it be possible without David Byron's voice and stage presence. Thank you for replying. ~ Ps do you know what caused his drink problem?

  63. S.... R....

    great song! too bad the old lineup couldn't be together now, ....

    S.... R....

    @Stéphane Richard Too many of them are dead... :-(

    S.... R....

    yes for sure, thank god the music lives on

    S.... R....

    @Stéphane Richard
    this line-up is so sad as they were also as persons

    S.... R....

    1972-73 lineup for sure.

  64. y.... b....

  86. D.... S....

    Super track from Heep - Byron at his best, some great bass lines from John Wetton, in fact the whole band are on top form here. A classic!
