Woman of The World
Uriah Heep · You Can't Keep A Good Band Down: The Miniatures [2002]
The kind of a lady
She lives her whole life
Saying maybe
Running here and there
As she pleases
Not a thought
For the social diseases
Though she never
Thinks of settling down
She'll spend time
Turning your head around
But don't let your heart start dancing
The lady don't
Waste no time romancing
Are you mine or are you
The woman of the world
Are you really so different
From all the other girls
Do you care that I care
About the things that you do
Does anything matter to you
Does anything matter to you
Once in a garden of glory
Someone sowed
The seeds of this story
And the whole thing began
With a woman and a man
Still it's something
No one understands
Woman of The World
Uriah Heep's 'Woman of The World' stands as a quintessential example of their hard rock and blues-rock fusion, characterized by the band's signature dual-guitar interplay and driving rhythms. Recorded for the compilation album 'You Can't Keep A Good Band Down: The Miniatures [2002]', the track exemplifies the group's ability to blend traditional rock structures with melodic sensibilities that have defined their career since the 1970s. The song captures the essence of the era's progressive rock movement while maintaining the anthemic quality that made Uriah Heep a staple of the genre. Its enduring appeal lies in its powerful instrumentation and the band's mastery of creating atmospheric depth within a tight, energetic framework.
