Soul Survivor

Version 1 is a full studio recording

Note that the French MGM LP was pressed with a slightly faster play speed, so the song is a little shorter

Version 2 is a mono edit of version 1

Here's To Veterans

Version 3 is a full studio recording. It is the same basic recording as version 1, but fades out a little earlier and has some different instrumentation - for example, the lead guitar line from around 2:28 is missing

So Long Ago The Garden [Phydeaux Version, ARF 777-6]

Version 4 is a full studio recording. It is the same recording as version 3, but fades out later

So Long Ago The Garden [1993 CD release]
Siege At Elsinore

Version 5 is the same recording as version 1, but with the introduction and a chorus towards the end removed, making it lyrically different

Instigator

Version 6 is the same recording as version 4, but fading out very slightly earlier. The 2003 CD has better sound quality than the earlier CDs

lyrics version 1

I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy
Don't leave me here alone, don't let me be
The soul survivor of this tragedy

My life was good when she was hanging round
My love was flying so high and free
But when she left my dreams came tumbling down
Now I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy

I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy
Don't leave me here alone, don't let me be
The soul survivor of this tragedy

I'm trying so hard to forget my pain
And leave my past behind
But when your life is suddenly filled with rain
You keep remembering how the sun used to shine

And I can't stand the loneliness, the constant emptiness
Why has unhappiness ah-come into my life
I spend my mornings waking and thinking
And cry my evenings late into the night

I never knew that things could go so wrong
Until this happened to me, and I'm telling you
If you're in love you better hold on strong
Or be the soul survivor of this tragedy

I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy
Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy
Don't leave me here alone, don't let me be
The soul survivor of this tragedy

I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy (Soul survivor, soul survivor)
Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Don't leave me here alone, don't let me be (Soul survivor, soul survivor)
The soul survivor of this tragedy

I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy (Soul survivor, soul survivor)
(Yes I am) Oh yes I need somebody's (I don't want nobody's sympathy) sympathy (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Don't leave me here alone don't let me be (Soul survivor soul, survivor)
The soul survivor of this tragedy

I'm the soul survivor of this tragedy (Ah yeah yeah yeah) (Soul survivor, soul survivor)
Oh yes I need somebody's sympathy (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)

Why has unhappiness come into my life

And cry my evenings late into the night

My love was flying so high and free
But then my dreams they all come tumbling down
