Uriah Heep is a British rock band, officially formed in 1969 in England, when record producer Gerry Bron invited keyboardist Ken Hensley (previously a member of The Gods and Toe Fat) to join Spice, a band signed to his own Bronze Records label. Sometimes jokingly referred to as "The Beach Boys of heavy metal" for their melodic songs, and trademark multi-part harmony backing vocals, although their music draws on diverse influences including psychedelia, gothic sound, progressive rock, hard rock, early heavy metal, jazz, and even country on occasion. Uriah Heep remains active today with its lineup since 1986. An album featuring new material will be released sometime in 2007.

A Right To Live Lyrics

Uriah Heep

I must thank lord
In my hour of need
Ive given way to a better man
But I aint been free
To push the hour here
In this soul of mine
Ive burned my bridges
And Im satisfied
The preachers due here
In an hour or so
To give me reasons for
The things I know
I might have been careless and i
I might have been blind
If Im the guilty, Im satisfied
Oh woman, why did you
Do me wrong?
Sending me down and
I just cant get along
When daybreak comes and
Ive reached the end of the line
I have a right to live
And Im left to die
It all seems so hazy now
It seems so long ago
She hid the things shed done
Or things I should know
What was I to do for
The hurting here inside
I kill for love but the ...
I have a right to live
When Im left to die
Oh, woman
I have a right to live ...
