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.

Cheat ’n’ Lie Lyrics

Uriah Heep

Well, it seems to me
That Ive been cheated
And it would appear
That Ive been lied to
All the promises
That you repeated
Were never destined
To come true
When I stop to think
How I once trusted you
Its harder still
To bear this doubt
Im a innocent victim of
Heartbreaking circumstance
And I still cant get it figured out
cos all you did was cheat and lie
Now youre gone and
Made me cry
When my heart is heavy and
I just cant get it straight
Just the way you made me feel
A wound that only time can heal
Wont you take a little time
To show me my mistake
cos all you did was cheat and lie
Now youre gone and
Made me cry
When my heart is heavy and
I just cant get it straight
Just the way you made me feel
A wound that only time can heal
Wont you take a little time
You know you gotta
Show me my mistake
