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.

Cross That Line Lyrics

Uriah Heep

What do you say
To a talk over dinner
Though we havent
Spoken for a while
This time I wont take no
For an answer
You cant hide forever
From your only son
Lets take a seat
Right here by the window
I remember how you like the view
Now look me in the eye
The truth I wanna hear
The time is right
Theres a shadow hanging
Over me tonight
Tell me what you did now
Even though it hurts to say
Its always been a mystery
Locked behind the door
Tell me is it true now
Do you need the heart to say it
I always did my best for you
Dont you lie
Dont you lie no more
You tought me the way
To be a winner
And never to play
On the losing side
I guess that I turned out
The way you always planned
So hard to cross that line
But the words have got to come
From you this time
