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.

Bad Bad Man Lyrics

Uriah Heep

In this supermarket city
Among the native smiles
You have to pay for attention
And do the best you can
Theres a raging silence
And its charged with action
Got no time for weakness
cause Im a bad bad man
Down the streets of darkness
Where they know my name
Lies a force of evil
And a destructive plan
Theres no time for questions
When you run into danger
Dont get too close to me
cause Im a bad bad man
Im working for the l.a. division
To stop the inner city collision
Im bringing law and order
To the twenty-first century
I dont care for politics
You can keep your point of view
Youd be better off without it
I got my own bad plan
A tough cop has a lonely existence
A reputation of
The highest resistance
A mean runner bringing order
To the twenty-first century
I dont believe in passion
Dont believe in feelings
I take peace from the wicked
Run and hide while you can
I got no time for small talk
Got no time for off-the-wall talk
Dont care who I tread on
cause Im a bad bad man
Bad bad man, Im a bad bad man ...
