Shine Away Lyrics


(Keith, Hannon, Skeoch, Wheat)All is well, as it could ever be
All is well, as it could ever beAll is well, as it could ever be
All is well, as it could ever, it could ask forMe, I told myself that I'd get better, and I knew I would
But I said that a thousand times
Said the same in the letters that I wrote to you
Guess you thought it's that same old lineOoh I know, but the rest of my soul it don't ever need a reason why
Told myself I'd get over it and over you, never will till the day I dieThis won't take long, shouldn't take but a minute
I got you right here in my heart
It's only human, it's only natural, it's love or animal
There you are, so far away, but instead I got it right here in my faceShine away, shine away, one look at you and I can see the light of day
Shine away, shine away, 'cos I'm afraid of what could happen
If you shine my way, don't you shine my wayNow that it's over, I ask myself the reason why
That [was in the time with you on my mind]
Told myself I'd forget about, forget you
Now it's changed it don't feel so rightOoh I know, but the rest of my soul it don't ever need a reason why
Love you so and always will, love to love you even still
Now there you are, so far away, all the while I got it right here in my faceShine away, shine away, one look at you and I can see the light of day
Shine away, shine away, 'cos I'm afraid of what could happen

If you shine my way
Shine away, shine away, I got somebody sittin' home, waitin' for me yeah
Shine away, shine away, you make it hard for somebody
Who don't want to play, and I want to play[Solo]I told myself that I'd get better, and I knew I would
But I said that ten thousand times
Said the same [if time don't make that call for you]
Guess you thought it's that same old lineThis won't take long, shouldn't take but a minute
I got you right here in my heart
It's only human, it's only natural, it's love or animal
Now there you are, so far away, all the while I got it right here in my faceShine away, shine away, one look at you and I can see the light of day
Shine away, shine away, 'cos I'm afraid of what could happen
If you shine my way
Shine away, shine away, I got somebody sittin' home and waitin' for me
Shine away, shine away, shine away, shine away, shine awayShine away, shine away, shine away, shine away, shine away

Tesla is an American hard rock band originating from Sacramento, California. The band formed in 1984 as City Kidd and was renamed to Tesla during the recording of their first album on the advice of their manager. According to the Love Song Songfacts, their name comes from Nikola Tesla, the legendary scientist and inventor who quite possibly is single-handedly responsible for the "mad scientist" trope. Originally, the group included Jeff Keith (vocals), Frank Hannon (guitar), Tommy Skeoch (guitar), Brian Wheat (bass) and Troy Luccketta (drums). In 2006 Skeoch was replaced by Dave Rude, who is now an official member of the band.

Tesla's music fit well with the blasting sound of the 80s glam bands, but was more bluesy and lyrics dealt with other themes than just the usual, girls, alcohol and violence. But what set them even more apart from their contemporaries was their T-shirt and jeans image which was in strong contrast for that time, characteristic of leather pants and flashy-make up.

The group released 6 albums with original music, latest of them entitled "Forever More" (2008) as well as a double-disc covers album "Real To Reel" and a number of compilations and live albums.

Tesla's popular 1990 remake of Signs, originally recorded by the Five Man Electrical Band (who also inspired the album which the remake came from, Five Man Acoustical Jam), is probably the most mainstream of Tesla's hits. However, many fans remember fondly Tesla's other hits such as Gettin' Better, Modern Day Cowboy, Little Suzi, Edison's Medicine and Love Song.

The band derived their name, certain album and song names (e.g. The Great Radio Controversy, Mechanical Resonance, etc), and some song content from events relating to Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer born in the 19th century in Smiljan, Austria-Hungary, modern day Croatia.
