QUEEN IN BLACK (Bishop's Wife)
Composer: Rocky Mountain, 1970. Recorded at De Lane Lea, Soho, February 1971

Our manager Terry Baker’s contacts in the film trade somehow managed to swing us an overnight session at the vast De Lane Lea Studios in Soho, usually reserved for recording feature film scores (with full orchestras) and therefore quite an eye-opener for a band whose 5 members had never been in any kind of recording studio before.    

‘Twas not the way she drove her eyes right through my soul
‘Twas not the way she loved me in her bed last night
‘Twas not the way she made my cold life oh so warm
‘Twas just the way that she took my heart

I’m a mean man, my love’s not given easily
I’ve seen the world, I’ve lived with many cruelty
I’ve fought and won, hurt women, laughed to see them cry
But Queen in Black you just grabbed my heart

(CHORUS)
Queen, she came in black but swept the devil from my thoughts
My nights are now like days, my days are glorious

I need her good, she owns me muscle, blood and mind
She got the power to crumble me back to the earth
My brain go dead if she told me to leave her be
Oh Queen in Black do you need my heart?

CHORUS

I’m jailed for life, my wandering days I’ve left behind
You earn reward, I win a cell inside your heart
Freedom’s no good, I’m warm and where I want to be
Oh Queen in Black you have took my heart

Brian Reeves:  Lead Guitar
Derek Harley: Rhythm Guitar
John Palmer: Bass
Terry Mitchell: Drums
Gary Reeves: Lead Vocal
