Изначально альбом должен был называться Twin Oak. Кози Пауэлл не успел завершить работу над пластинкой, и Джон Уэст, Нейл Мюррей и Ко довершали начатое своими силами. Альбом посвятили Кози Пауэллу, назвав его Especially For You |

| Man with a mission
On a blood sugar high
Got more than I was hoping for
Who were you to get in my head
Past the point of exhaustion
At my initiation
Praying for the sun
Sleep is my salvation
Leave me alone am I the hunter or the prey
Through the illusion I've got to find my way
I'm a |

Для слуха тех, кто достаточно хорошо знаком с манерой игры Кози Пауэлла и с его стилем, этот альбом может показаться непривычным и несколько попсовым. Возможно, и так. При этом нельзя упускать из вида двух важных деталей: во-первых, сам по себе саунд конца 90-х заметно отличается от саунда начала 80-х. А во-вторых, альбом дозаписывали и сводили уже без Кози, трагически погибшего в апреле 1998-го. Естественно, без его участия альбом не смог блеснуть фирменным звучанием барабанщика. Можно сколько угодно говорить о том, что если не было возможности свести «по-пауэлловски», то незачем было и выпускать пластинку. НО: принимая во внимание то, КАК Кози хотел выпустить этот альбом (и даже совершить тур в поддержку), музыканты все-таки решились доработать и выпустить диск, переименованный из «Twin Oak» в «Especially for You».
Из представленных на диске композиций лично я могу выделить для себя три: «Haunted by the Devil» (вариация на небезызвестный пауэлловский «Танец с дьяволом»), «Man with a Mission» и, наверное, больше всего – «All I Wanted was Your Love». |

Searching for my promised land
A ray of hope a track in the sand
Sleepless nights to the sound of water
Listen to the call from distant borders
On the horizon I caught a glimpse of the sun
Will it lead me to the answer, when this day is done
Why am I driven through the great divide
Across an ocean of doubt and pain inside
*I'm a man with a mission
Searching for my promised land
A ray of hope a track in the sand I'm a man with a mission
Seating for my holy land
A ray of light someone to take my hand
Keep on looking
Keep on hoping
Keep on praying
Keep on searching
Keep on hoping
Keep on praying
* repeat
Ivory Towers
We build those ivory towers
Brick by brick from creatures in pain
One silent bullet being fired from the poachers gun
A cry goes up panic and pain black electric sun
They mutilated the body and leave her baby to die
Well it's a sick sick world we're living in
Just another way to bleed ourselves dry
Gonna bleed ourselves dry yeah yeah
What does your god think as he looks down in disdain
and sees the ivory that you're wearing there
and the trinkets made of pain
*We build those ivory towers
Brick by brick from creatures in pain
Keep on building your ivory towers
Lord knows we'll never see them again
Wash the blood out put yourself in that tiger skin
Buy the aphrodisiac potion you put all your faith in
What does your god think as he looks down in disdain
and sees the ivory that you're wearing there
Hanging from the golden chain
* repeat
God tell me what you want me to do
Just say the word
And we'll set them free
And the innocents
Why must they run for their lives
Are we so educated after all this time
Keep open building your ivory towers
Lord knows we'll never see them again
Why does love hurt
Just like driftwood you're floating
So many miles from the shore
Could this be the miracle
That you've been waiting for
They say that love is a feeling
And it feels good as it crows
But then one day without warning
You wake up as love closes the door
*Why does love hurt
Will nothing ease the pain
Once you saw the sun now feel the rain
Why does love hurt
When your world turns to gray
You hide behind the barricades and pray
The burning embers keep glowing
When the flame has died
Lord what did we sacrifice
Why did we have to lie
Locked inside this memory
Dreams of love we shared
Once we held that higher ground
Then we fell we came crashing down
*repeat
And what you wanted I gave to you
You knew that I would
And I gave all of my best to you
But it wasn't enough
*repeat
Doing the natural thing
If we're going too fast you better let me know
Cause if you want it to last you got to take it real slow
There's not a race to see who will come first
Cause my will to win can be a vicious curse
We'd be forgiven it seems only fair
The Devil may take us but we're already there
*You can't resist the swing
Doin' the natural thing
Throw caution to the wind
Doin' the natural thing
Don't matter what trend is in
Doin' the natural thing
You can't resist the swing
Doin' the natural thing
The days are full of danger gonna stay in my bed
Guitar in the corner got you in my head
Let's splash a little color let's get the cat to purr
Oh it's your mind that I love not just your curves
Sooner or later the river runs dry
Let it rain down from heaven cool the Devil inside
*repeat
We'd be forgiven it seems only fair
The Devil may take us but we're already there
All I wanted was your love
I can feel there's a storm tonight
And there's nothing that can make it right
You're blowing away and out of my life
Was it timing or was it me
Did I take you too fast
And you couldn't see or understand
This is life this is serious
This love I was willing to show
This is all yes this is all you needed to know
*All I wanted was your love
All I wanted was to be by your side
All I wanted was to love you
I just wanted you to be satisfied
Steamy windows blocked out the rain
I just pray they can ease the pain
The flood of my tears make rivers flow
Oh the love that you share with me
I'll remember eternally
I've cherished the times I was your man
But this love I was willing to show
This is all yes this is all you needed to know
*repeat
All I wanted was your love
All I wanted was your love
Call Me Mayhem
Things are getting so complicated
Things are getting so out of hand
What's a man got to do
Before he gets that helping hand
Choice don't enter the equation
Do you think I planned things this way
It's just a strange situation
That I can't win either way
Call me Mayhem Chaos he follows me around
Call me Mayhem I'm the one that love never found
Call me Mayhem
I didn't worry 'bout money
I had enough for some fun
I was the one you used to hang with
But now I'm just the one you want hung
Choice don't enter the equation
Do you think I want things this way
I'm trying to find some salvation
But I'm not the type to pray
Call me Mayhem Chaos he follows me around
Call me Mayhem I'm the one that love never found
Call me Mayhem
I got the wrong reputation
But I can't change what they say
Can't you feel my frustration
Get me out of the shade
Call me Mayhem Chaos he follows me around
Call me Mayhem I'm the one that love never found
Call me Mayhem
The Light
In a town, a town without a name
Lives a man down there
Born to live for fame
But you know baby so do I
Fame's is no open door
He can show you, life is so much more
And I can feel you Lord
Shining on me
Shining on me
Now there's road
Leads to south, nowhere
I can tell you
To find the end is rare
So come on baby take my hand
It's gonna be alright
We'll find the answers one of these days
Just run into the light
I can feel you Lord
Shining on me
Shining on me
Shining down on me oh Lord
Shining on me
Shining in your healing light
Shining in your healing light
Shining down
Shining in your healing light
Gonna be alright
High Time to Fly
So many years have come and gone
Since we've had a love to call our own
All the oceans and the seas
The highest mountains they can't keep you from me
It's high time to fly
And I'm about to spread my wings
This time said I
We'll rise over everything
To follow my head an not my heart
We gave all that we had left to give
Now tell me the reasons left to live
I've searched the desserts every grain of sand
To find a love oasis springing from your hands
It's high time to fly
And I'm about to spread my wings
This time said I
We'll rise over everything
To follow my head an not my heart
We gave all that we had left
*repeat
Make you a man
He's got his life in order
A wife and daughter
He would die for his family
But love stays home
When he's out alone
Doesn't want responsibility
Thoughts inside him ain't coinciding
Did that boy ever grow to be a man
*Does it make you a man
In a manner disaster
Does it make it a man
Not to give them straight answers
Does it make you a man
Not to want to explain
Don't care about love
Don't care about pain
He takes second glances
Young girls advances
Temptation can break the strongest heart
Just once or twice
Baby it feels so nice
Just another to take a helping hand
*repeat
What has it come to when the one that you love
Can never trust you I'm not the same any more
What was I thinking I wanna reach out and touch
Stop me from sinking deeper down
Deeper
With just myself to blame
Thoughts inside him ain't coinciding
Did that boy ever grow to be a man
Power in the wrong hands
Let me look you in the eye and say it straight to your face
Can't you see the wrong breeding in this place
The legacy you leave is like a plague to the poor
It's never enough, you still come back for more
Capital hill is where your head is at
Parliament Square makes the rich boys fat
No one seems to know what real life's about
Voting you in can't get you out
*We got power in the wrong hands
We got faith in the wrong hands
We got money in the wrong hands
And there's nothing but blood left to give them
Power in the wrong hands
We got hope in the wrong hands
We got trust in the wrong hands
And there's nothing but blood left to give them
Nothing but blood
He says a vote for me is a vote for sense
Let's spend some more money and secure our defense
I'll lower those taxes if you'll see it my way
Don't question my word, just do as I say
We struggle with life and we hope for some love
No easy answers come from above
Rules and regulations claw at our back
Dreams you hold close are under attack
*repeat
Sorry to say there's policies to follow
We'll strangle you with red tape and hang you out to dry
If you fall through the net you don't belong in our system
We don't really care you don't want to swallow our lies
Our lies
*repeat
You're All I Believe In
When I touch you I'm in too deep again
When I hold you, you know I can't pretend
You ask if I'd ever leave you, I doubt if I'd try
Would I be happy without you, would I lie
*You're all I believe in and that's the truth
I swear to you, you're all I believe in
Like an eagle soaring high
I'm flying higher and higher
Heaven thunders, girl when you take this man
Mountains tumble, so you can understand
I'd be nothing without you, no nothing at all
Don't be afraid I'll protect you, when you fall
*repeat
When I'm lost you search for me
You are the light that helps me see
I'd sacrifice, I'll protect you, when you fall
*repeat
When I'm lost you search for me
You are the light that helps me see
I'd sacrifice, I'd sacrifice, lay down my life for you
You're all I believe in and that's the truth
I swear to you, you're all I believe in
Like an eagle soaring high
I'm flying higher and higher, you're all I believe in
You restored the faith in me set me free
You're all I believe in, you're all believe in
