THIS IS WHAT THE OFFICIAL URIAH HEEP WEB SITE SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
Fools - Here Sloman's vocals do work, as he tempers his emotions to fit that of the song. Great haunting guitar riff and chorus. Wonderful harmonies. Powerful solo (as usual, too short) from Mick. Still, one wonders what this progressive piece would've sounded like in the hands of Byron or Lawton, especially the ending. Grade: A
Available on the album:

Intro to the intro
intro/outro x 2
I know this feeling inside
Has just made up my mind
I'm gonna take this chance
And do what's in my heart
You always said that
You'd stand by me
And help me get along
So understand
I must do what's in my heart
I know this feeling inside
Has helped me to carry on
So as the days go by
And the nights that never end
You play the clubs
And you play the game
The next day you will find
You'll have to try and
pre riff
Please that fool again
Don't you know that
riff 1 x2
Fools play at games
Don't you know that
Fools play at games
And I know that
I'm not afraid of you
Day after day I feel this way
That I need to be moving on
You know I depend on you
Don't get me wrong
I'll throw the dice and
I play the game
And hope we get along
pre riff
Even then I won't be fooled again
Riff 1
Solo
So I've read your words and
I've signed my name
But I can't make up my mind
pre riff
If you really care or you're
Playing your games
Riff 1 x2
Fools play at games
Don't you know that
Fools play at games
And I know that
I'm not afraid of you x2
Riff 1 until end
solo/outro until end
