Deep Purple

Album title: In Rock  (1970)
All Songs by Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice

 Speed King

Good Golly, said little Miss Molly when she
 was rockin' in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty when she was rockin' to the east and west
Lucille was oh so real when she didn't do her daddies will
Come on baby, drive me crazy--do it, do it

I'm a speed king you go to hear me sing
I'm a speed king see me fly

Saturday night and I just got paid
Gonna fool about ain't gonna save
Some people gonna rock some people gonna roll
Gonna have a party to save my soul
Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man
They been causing trouble since it all began
Take a little rice take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans

[repeat first two stanzas in inverse order]

 Bloodsucker

Gotta black breast Chinese eyes
Got an English brain that's gonna make me wise
Got a long story that I wanna tell
To a rhythm that I know so well
Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give
Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live
I tried another but she didn't want to know

Take a hold now if you can
Take a lesson from a hard lovin' man
I'm a long way from where I wanna go
Guess I'll stay awhile I really love you so
How's about another sip of all the wine you got
Take a tip from me and give it here I'll drink the lot
I'm not a winey, I'm a puttin' on a show

You really really grab me but I've gotta move
Before they know I'm here and spread the news
Maybe in while when I've moved around
I can find a way to pay you back your twenty pounds
Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give
Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live
I tried another but she didn't want to know

 Child in Time

Sweet child in time you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between the good and the bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head
And wait for the ricochet

 Flight of the Rat

Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone

Once I had a dream
To sing before the queen
She didn't want to know
She wouldn't see the show

What a fright
I couldn't do it right
Oh what a night

Mystic demons fly
All about the sky
With memories of a clown
The saddest show in town

When I was seventeen
Me mother said to me
Be careful what you touch
You shouldn't take so much

I blew my mind
She was so kind
I could have cried

In my mind
I had to find
A kind of new way
Of being oh so cool
Like a blue blooded
Well studded
English fool

Speak about the past
Times are changing fast
Once I was so weak
I couldn't even speak

Shaking put a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for more

Now I'm free
And I can see
And I can see

Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone

Shaking out a curse
Nothing could be worse
Walking through the door
Who could ask for more

Now I'm free
And I can see
And I can see

Please stay away

 Into the Fire

Take the trouble to decide the things you do
Will not be the things that don't appeal to you
See the mess your makin' can't you see your fakin'
Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna--into the fire

Turn on the mandrake that was given to you
See if you can make it like the others do
Feel the blood a knockin' when you're finger poppin'
Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna--into the fire

Stop your bleeding mind before it's over and done
Listen very closely to the message I've sung
Feel the blood a knockin' when you're finger poppin'
Gonna get a message through, you're gonna--into the fire

 Living Wreck

You came along for a weekend
But you only stayed for one night
You pulled off your hair
You took out your teeth
Oh I almost died of fright
You'd better do something for your own sake
Yes it's a shame
Ah you know you're a living wreck

You said you were a virgin
Full of promise and mystery
But I know that you
Would bring me down
'Cos everyone calls you big G
You'd better do something for your own sake
Yes it's a shame
Ah you know you're a living wreck

 Hard Lovin' Man

Break my back with hard lovin'
Take my hand and keep movin'
Don't slow down we're nearly there now
Oh can you stand the pain
I'm a hard lovin' man

What's your name?  It's alright now
Trick or treat we're uptight now
Wanna feel ya I wanna hear ya
Oh here we go again
I'm a hard lovin' man

Come back here it's not over
Can't you see there's still time girl
I can last make if fast now
Oh gotta catch a train
I'm a hard lovin' man

Album title: Fireball  1971

 Fireball

The golden light about you show me where you're from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
You stand up on your hill and behop all around you
They wonder where you're from oh yeah
They wonder where I found you
Oh my love it's a long way
Where you're from it's a long way

I tried to understand you, I tried to love you right
The way you smile and touch me always sets my heart alight
Your lips are like a fire burning through my soul
And people ask me where you're from
They really wanna know
Oh my soul it's a long way
Where you're from it's a long way

Magic woman wreckin' up my soul
Things you tell me have never been told
Magic woman I don't know
Electric before me I love you so I love you so

You're racing like a fireball dancing like a ghost
You're gemini and I don't know which one I like the most
My head is getting broken and my mind is getting bust
But now I'm coming with you down the road of golden dust
Oh my love it's a long way
Where you're from it's a long way

 No No No

Really hate running really hate the game
Looking at them all I wanna be unborn again
Their suit is getting tighter although they're getting thin
The flies are crawling on their face and trying to get in
People say that we're to blame I say
No no no it's just the game
Must we let them fool us no no no
Have we got our freedom no no no
Is it getting better no no no
Do we love each other no no no
Must we wait forever no no no

Heads are getting stronger bodies getting weak
Looking at them all it feels good to be a freak
Their hands are getting closer they're reaching out so far
The greenies gonna get them make them serve stars
Tell them how it is and they say
No no no we know it all
The washing's getting dirty the air is getting thin
It's all in such a mess that no one knows where to begin
They talk about creating but all they do is kill
They say we're gonna mend it but they never will
Poison in the rain but they say
No no no we ain't to blame

 Strange Kind of Woman

There once was a woman
A strange kind of woman
The kind that gets written down in history
Her name was Nancy
Her face was nothing fancy
She left a trail of happiness and misery

I loved her
Everybody loved her
She loved everyone and gave them good return
I tried to take her
I even tried to break her
She said I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn

I want you I need you I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you I need you I gotta be near you
Ooh I got a strange kind of woman

She looked like a raver
But I could never please her
On Wednesday mornings boy you can't go far
I couldn't get her
But things got better--she said
Saturday nights from now on baby you're my star

She finally said she loved me
I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glowed with pride
I'm dreaming
I feel like screaming
I won my woman just before she died

I want you I need you I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you I need you I gotta be near you
Ooh I had a strange kind of woman

 Anyone's Daughter

I stood under your bedroom window
Throwing up a brick
No one came I threw one more
That really did the trick
Your daddy came and banged my head
He said what kind of man
Is this that's hanging 'round my girl
And threw me in the car
You're a farmer's daughter
You're a farmer's daughter
Why do I always get
The kinda girl I didn't oughta get
I won't get no more eggs and water
Now I've laid the farmer's daughter

Imagine I was a full-grown man
And I could talk just right
Could I come and see you here
And do this every night
Wham!  The door comes crashing down
Your daddy's face all pale
Says come with me you hairy bum
I'll put you in my jail
You're a judge's daughter
You're a judge's daughter
Why do I always get
The kinda girl I didn't oughta v et
Now I'm getting jail and torture
'Cause I made the judge's daughter

It seems they're screaming law and order
When I go with anyone's daughter

Woman I should like some peace
And daddy hold your tongue
I think you're gonna die of fright
When I tell you what I've done
I can hear your tales and lies
You say I'm dumb and scraggy
But man this dumb and scraggy is
Your daughter's baby's daddy
She's a lucky daughter
Such a lucky daughter
Why did I always get
The kinda girl I didn't wanna get
Now I've got what I always fought for
'Cause I've married a rich man's daughter

 The Mule

No one sees the things you do
Because I stand in front of you
But you drive me all the time
Put evil in my mind
Used to sing and say my prayers
Live my life without a care
Now I have become a fool
Because I  listened to the mule
How can I change when my mind is a friend of a Lucifer hid in the ground
Just another slave for the mule

 Fools

I'm crying I'm dying

I can see what's wrong with me
It's in my head
I can see what's gonna be
As I lie in my bed
Man is not my brotherhood
I am of the dead
I died as I lived as I loved and was born
On some distant hill
The reasons to hide were the reasons I cried
Fools pass laughing still

There can be bad blood in all I can see
It's in my brain
You don't know the pain I feel
As I must live again
Rocks and stones can't bruise my soul but
Tears will leave a stain
They smile to themselves as they lay down my head
On some distant hill
The blind and the child sweep a tear from their eye
Fools smile as they kill

I got my own way to go and now I want
To take your minds
I believe if you could see
The blood between the lines
I believe that you could be
A better kind
Please lead the way so the unborn can play
On some greener hill
Laugh as the flames eat their burning remains
Fools die laughing still

 No One Came

Maybe it's because I'm only starting
That I think it won't take too long
Maybe it's because I can see you laughing
That I think you've got it wrong
Maybe I could be like Robin Hood
Like and outlaw dressed all in green
Someone said what's he gonna turn out like
And someone else said never mind
Well I was big and bold and more than twice as old
As all the cats I'd ever seen
I grew my hair and bought a suit
Of shiny white or was it cream
I shook and shivered danced and quivered
And stood on a mountain top
No one came from miles around and said
Man your music is really hot

Well I knew what they meant because I was a freak
My throat was tired and worn
My pretty face just looked out of place
As they poured on the scorn
I wrote on yellow paper from a man who was the king
He said my boy we'll have some crazy scenes
There weren't any scenes at all like he was talkin' about
He must've been the king of queens
Well I could write a million songs about the things I've done
But I could never sing them so they'd never get sung
There's a law for the rich and one for the poor and there's another one for sing

It's die young and live much longer
Spend your money and sit and wonder
No one came for miles around
And said man your music is really funky

I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star
Nobody knows who's real and who's fakin'
Everyone's shouting out loud
It's only the glitter and shine that gets through
Where's my Robin Hood outfit
Well I've come and I've gone before you wink an eye
No one ever cared enought to say goodbye
The money's good and the time you have
Fun and games galore
But you spend your money and lie in bed forgotten
And you wonder what you did it for
No one came from miles around
And said man who's he?


HIGHWAY STAR

Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Ooh it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power big fat tyres and everything

I love it and I need it
I bleed it yeah it's a wild hurricane
Alright hold tight I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my girl
I'm gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl
She stays close on everybend
Ooh she's a killing machine
She's got everything
like a moving mouth body control and everything

I love her I need her
I seed her
Yeah she turns me on
Alright hold tight I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my head
I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head
Now that I'm on the road again
OOh I'm in heaven again I've got everything
Like a moving ground throttle control and everything

I love it and I need ityI seed it eight cylinders all mine
Alright hold tight I'm a highway star

Repeat

MAYBE I'M A LEO

Peeping round my doorI got a big surprise
Couldn't see a thing but open skies
They've taken her away where is she now

Wish that she was here wish she'd hold my hand
Maybe she would laugh maybe understand
Why was I so cruel where is she now

Acting like a fool had to make her cry
Maybe I'm a Leo but I ain't a lion
I'm hurting oh so bad I want her now

PICTURES OF HOME

Somebody's shouting
Up at a mountain
Only my own words return
Nobody's up there
It's a deception

I'm alone here
With emptiness eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And whispering pictures of home

Wondering blindly
How can they found me
Maybe they don't even know
My body is shaking
Anticipating
The call of the black hooded crow

I'm ...

Here in this prison
Of my own making
Year after day I have grown
Into a hero
But there's no worship
Where have they hidden my throne

I'm ..




Heres those lyrics you wanted, along with some I had on file, enjoy.

Rob.

    All Night Long      by Rainbow
 
You're walking up with your eyes on me
It's looking good but I just don't know
I need a girl who can keep her head all night long
You didn't come just to see the show
I guess you know what you want to see
The way you smile lets me know I can't go wrong
 
 I wanna touch you, wanna feel you
 I wanna make you mine
 
 I wanna love you all night long
 I wanna be with you all night long
 I wanna love you all night long
 I wanna be with you all night long
 
I saw you standing there by the stage
Your black stockings and your see-through dress
You mouth is open but I don't want to hear you say good night
You're so yound, but you're over (rated? weight? not sure)
I don't care 'cause I like your style
Don't know about your brain but you look alright
 
 (chorus)
 
You're under cover but but your hands are clean
You show no class but you ____(?) your own
I know I can't stand another night all alone
Hey girl, would you like some wine?
What's you name, are you by yurself?
Are you the one, what's your sign, can I take you home?
 
 (chorus)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Day after day, I'm waking up to find
That you're slipping away
Night after night I can't fight
The emptiness inside
There's nothing I can say, now I know
You're turning me away
It's all been a disguise, but you don't have to hide it
The truth is in your eyes
 
 I don't want to live a lie
 But I don't want to say goodbye
 
 And I can't let you go
 Even though it's over
 I just can't let you go
 I know your love is growing colder
 
One look in my eyes and you'll realize
You've got my heart in your hands
Won't you let me know something more
Where did I go wrong
I don't want to fight
All I want to do is try to understand
I'm reaching out for you, babe what can I do
I've been holding on so long
 
 (chorus)

WHO DO WE THINK WE ARE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Woman From Tokyo
----------------
Fly into the rising sun
Faces, smiling everyone
She is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me

Talk about her like a queen
Dancing in an eastern dream
She makes me feel like a river
That carries me away
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me

But I'm at home and I just dont belong
So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When we're alone in her city of light

Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
She turns me on like a fire
I get high
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me


Mary Long
---------

Mary long is a hypocrite
She does all the things that she tells us not to do
Selling filth from a corner shop
And knitting patterns to the high street queue
She paints roses, even makes them smell good
And then she draws titties on the khazi wall
Drowns kittens just to get a thrill
and writes sermons in the Sunday Chronicle

How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long?
When will you lose your stupidity. Mary Long?

Mary told Johnny not to write such trash
Said it was a waste of public money
She made a fuss, they made apologies
But everybody thought the show was funny
When the nation knew you'd had children
It came as such a suprise
We really didn't know you had it in you
How you did it we can only surmise

How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long?
When will you lose your stupidity. Mary Long?

Mary Long you're not alone
But your a long way behind the times
What we do in full frontal view
Is more honest than your clean-up mind
What I'm saying, Mary Long is
When you can spare a minute
Go find your friend the porny lord
Dig yourself a hole and jump in it

How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long?
When will you lose your stupidity. Mary Long?


Super Trouper
-------------

I was a young man when I died
I was flash, I was full of pride
I gave it all, I gave my soul, I was so strong
I felt the truth, I felt the pain in every song
How well you know me
You've seen me cry
I am just a shadow
In a rock and roll sky

I was living in a rock and roll sky
I was a king, heavy on the style
Super trouper, yes I know you well, making me shine
I couldn't see what you did to me, I was so blind
How well you know me
You've seen me cry
I am just a shadow
In a rock and roll sky

I wanna be like I was before
But this time I'm gonna know the score
I need a home I can leave behind knowing you're there
Super trouper, I can see you now, return your stare

How well you know me
You've seen me cry
I am just a shadow
In a rock and roll sky


Smooth Dancer
-------------

Black suede, don't mean you're good for me
Black suede, just brings your mystery
I want to be inside of you
But you black and I don't know what to do

Your'e a smooth dancer
But it's allright
'Cause I'm a freelancer
And you can never break me though you try to make me think you're magical.  

Baby you're the one who can never see the sun because it don't shine nightly.
Don't you look at me because I'm gonna shake free, you'd better hang on tightly.

Album title: Stormbringer '74
Stormbringer    Blackmore/Coverdale

Comin' out of nowhere
Drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider
On the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down
Meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning
Heading your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Coming out of nowhere
Drivin' like a-rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way

Love Don't Mean a Thing   Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes/Lord/Paice

If I work hard every day
For my money
If I work my finger down to the bone
That ain't funny
Now if I see
Something I can't buy
I put a dollar down
Then I try try try
To get my money
I need my money
A woman who ain't got a dime
I can't use her no
If she ain't got no cash money
I've got to refuse her
I need a woman
With a whole lotta will
So she help me, baby
Help me pay my bill
I need my money
I've got to have money

I need lovin' to give me a livin'
So don't ask me I don't need forgivin'
I will stand up to count the cost
But I know I won't stand the loss

I need a woman
With a whole lotta will
She can help me pay my bill
I need my money
I want my money
Before I say my prayers
I count my money
When I wake up
It has to be there
My money
You see, love--it don't mean a thing
When she loves you
She can't bring, can't bring you no money
I've got to have my money

Lookin' for lovin'
I need a livin'

Holy Man    Coverdale/Hughes/Lord

Called to Madonna
To give me a line
She said boy what have you done
Passing your time with a holy man
Talking about the moon and sun
But I can't tell the difference
Between the fool and wise
Show me a river to follow
Away from all these lies

I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been picking up my bones too long
Won't you understand

Called to the captain
To put me ashore
For it looked like no man's land
Is this the way to follow
I cried as I shook his hand
He told me had no answer
He didn't really hold the key
I am a simple man
Was all he said to me

I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me a hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand
I've been on the road so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand

Heard my mother crying
She was calling out my name
Whisper in the dark night
Saying who's to blame
The hour glass keeps turning
With not enought sand to see
I am a holy man
So don't you bother me

I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been pickin' up my bones too long
Won't you understand
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand?

Hold On     Coverdale/Hughes/Lord/Paice

You're sweeter than the morning
When the sun is shining down on me
There is nothing you can say
That could make me go away you see
But you keep saying to me baby

Hold on--I feel I'm getting ready
Hold on--I feel I'm rockin' steady
Hold on--I'm gonna make it with you woman
Hold on--You got to gimme some love, gimme some love

I held back before
But your love took me easily
You got the power
I knew was gonna creep up on me
The more I give
Your love keeps comin' on strong
Although it's mine now
I know it won't be for long
There's something in the saying
That a woman needs a little more time
I'm getting tired of waiting for you
Giving me some kind of sign

Hold on--I've got to love you when I want to
Hold on--You've got to love me when I want you to
Hold on--I ain't gonna let you leave me baby
Hold on--No never no more

I know the game you're playing
And I guess you think I'm easily led
You think the words you're saying
Are really going through my head
I'm gonna take you home
And give you all I can
I'll prove to you, baby
That really I'm a man

Hold on--I know I'm feeling ready
Hold on--I know I'm rockin' steady
Hold on--Guess I've made it with you woman
Hold on--I've got you giving me love

Something that you give me
Keeps me hangin' on
No use me stayin'
There's nothing to be done
I'm gonna take you home
And give you all I can
I'll prove to you woman
That really I'm a man

Hold on--I only want to take you higher
Hold on--You are the root of my desire
Hold on--C'mon baby light my fire
Hold on

Lady Double Dealer    Blackmore/Coverdale

Get outta my way
I'm gettin' tired of you
There ain't no chance
Doin' what you wanna do
I've been down down down down down
Got to get my feet back on the ground

Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say

I ain't satisfied
Dealin' with second hand goods
You wanted somethin' for nothin'
Taking everything you could
You been 'round--I got the news
But you ain't waitin' 'round for me to lose

Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say
I gave love to you
Did what you wanted me to
But all you did was bring me down
So I just had to try
Try to reason why
You took advantage of my love

Two timin' woman
Tryin' to take me for a ride
You're a hard lover honey
But you sure don't keep me satisfied
I wanna be there
To try to make you see
There ain't no woman gonna make a fool outta me

You Can't Do It Right (With the One you Love)  Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes

Have you ever thought of the feeling
I get when I'm alone with you
It's causing me worry and trouble
I'm going 'round in circles
Don't know what I'm gonna do

You can't do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love

You were always playing my records
When I was after making some love
But I need more than the music
To keep myself together
Although it makes me feel so good

You can't do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love

Sometimes in the morning
I wake up without you
Can't get up, it's getting me down
Tell me what you're trying to do
Later in the evening
You come home feeling low
If you'd stop your cruising
Maybe we could make a show

You can't do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love

High Ball Shooter         Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes/Lord/Paice

Well I'm a rock and roll preacher
Not a Sunday school teacher
You ain't no shady lady
But I love the way you strut your stuff
You're a snow queen looking mean
Tryin' to make it on the scene
I guess you love it
'Cause I always see you hanging' around

You're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me

A magnet brought you to me
Told me your name was Jo
You said you liked my music
And you really did enjoy the show
Now I wanna play piano
But my fingers don't agree
They're busy on you woman
And I feel your fingers workin' on me

You're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me

It's time to leave you honey
I know you're feeling sad
Don't you cry now baby
You know that only makes me mad
I see you everywhere I go
Every town and place
I can't recall your name
But I know I won't forget your sweet face

You're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me
'Cause you're a high ball shooter
You make it easy to see
High ball shooter
You sure ripped the low ones off me

The Gypsy       Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes/Lord/Paice

Tell me gypsy can you see me
In your crystal ball
I'm asking you what can I do
My back's against the wall
And I can't hold on much longer
So I've come to you my friend
For now my life seems at an end

I came to see you once before
One hundred years ago
You took my hand and broke the spell
That should have let me go
But my years have gone so slowly
So I'm here again my friend
For now my life is at an end

Soldier of Fortune     Blackmore/Coverdale

I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thougt my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here

Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Comin' Home       Bolin/Coverdale/Paice

My mama showed me how to rock in the cradle
But I learned how to roll along
My papa said "son, gotta git some fun,
Cos when your old it ain't too good on your own"
Been so long since you heard my song
Gonna pick up my guitar and play
Felt so bad when I had to leave you
But I knew that I'd be back some day

So I'm comin' home
To give you more than you bargained for
Comin' home
No mistake I'm gonna shiver 'n' shake
Comin' home
Gonna rock 'n' roll an' give you my soul
Comin' home
I got over the pain I'm comin' home again

Groovin to American Bandstand
B.B. onstage with 'Lucille'
The thrill is gone but it won't be for long
Cos you know I like to play how you feel
Now that we're back together
Gonna shiver 'n' shake all night
I just gotta say the music I play
Will sure enough make you feel alright

Tho I learned how to rock in the cradle
An' rollin' came so easy to me
All the years I travelled the world
Made it so clear to see
It's been so long since you heard my song
Gonna pick up my guitar 'n' play
Felt so bad when I had to leave you
But I knew that I'd be back some day

Comin' home
To give you more than you baragained for
Comin' home
No mistake I'm gonna shiver and shake
Comin' home
Gonna rock 'n' roll and give you my soul
Comin' home
I got over the pain I'm comin' home again
Comin' home
Shiver 'n' shakin' anticpatin'
Comin' home
The thrill is gone but it won't be for long

Lady Luck       Cook/Coverdale

She was a juke-box dancer
A blue eyed gypsy queen
She always had an answer
For what she'd done
And where she'd been
A feathercane Lady Midnight
For all around to see
She spoke with words of wisdom
And this is what she said to me

Lady luck
C'mon give me what I want
Pull me up
Lady luck
If I see you again
I will call you my friend

I have always been a sinner
But then the lady came along
She stole my heart and turned me 'round
'Till I didn't know right from wrong
She whispered words of kindness
I'd never ever heard before
Golden words and silver tongue
Till I really couldn't take no more

Lady luck
C'mon give me what I want
Pull me up
Lady luck
If I see you again
I will call you my friend
C'mon shake me

Gettin' Tighter       Bolin/Hughes

When night time comes
And I'm ten thousand miles away
Just lose yourself
And watch the band kick back and play

Get up--keep in line
It's gettin' tighter all the time
You say you're feelin' fine
It's gettin' tighter all the time

Get a load off your mind
This place is right
It's hard to find
The mood is set alright
It's gonna be a long long night
You keep spinnin' 'round
You find it hard to touch the ground
And time is all it takes
You'll find it easy once you make

Get up--keep in line
It's gettin' tighter all the time
Gettin' tighter
Gettin' tighter

Dealer    Bolin/Coverdale

If you fool around
With the dealer
Remember soon
You'll have to pay
He'll creep behind you
Like a hunter
Just to steal your soul away
I don't want no one
Messing with my woman
But just the same
I don't see nobody
Fooling with you
If you're snowblind
Madonna can hold you
But if you don't understand
There is nothing she can do for you

Running from the dealer
Trying to save your soul

I can feel the fire
Coming from inside you
I know what it's like
Cos I've been burned before
Ain't no mercy
In the hunger but
You're a fool to yourself
Cos your dealer keeps you begging for more

Running from the dealer
Trying to save your soul

In the beginning all you wanted
Was the calm before the storm
If the bluebird plays the eagle
He finds his song will turn to stone
Dealer

I Need Love       Bolin/Coverdale

I keep singing the same old song
Like I did before
When you left me
You left me in darkness
I'd never known before
I was restless
A fool for your time
Waiting 'round for you to call
But now I've found me
An angel of mercy
I don't feel bad at all

Your body was honey
I tasted a lot
But let me tell you babe
I need more than you got
I want someone to hold me
An' keep me satisfied
I need love

I've got nothing to do
Ain't got nothing to say
Just live your life
The way you know
When you moved on
You took all the sweetness
Was I a fool to let you go
With the woman I forget for the moment
All the times we knew before
Tho I'm still singing
The same old love song
I don't want you knocking on my door

Drifter       Bolin/Coverdale

I was born a rambling man
An' I never got the chance
To settle down an' get a hold on love
Takin' air an' movin' around
Is all I can see that I'm doin'
An' it is bringin' me down
Drivin' on a highway going nowhere
Desolation destination
Guess I'll find it somewhere
I know if there's trouble
I ain't takin' the blame
That's why I keep movin'
So nobody knows my name

Born a loser
I'm beyond the law
Women behind me
Never can find me
They can never get together
What I've been here for
Cos I'm a drifter

Rollin' on
Ain't wastin' my time no more

Love Child         Bolin/Coverdale

You can walk through fire
Make the north wind blow
Squeeze 'n' tease me honey
When you shake your body
You move my soul
Let me be your lover
Won't you let me be your child
Take me through your universe
Y'know that when you smile
You drive me wild

Love child
Driving me wild
Love child
Always teasin' me

You can ride your pony
Day dream in fairy tales
All I know is I need more
When I see you dance the seven veils

This Time Around                 Hughes/Lord/Bolin

The world around us hangs in doubt
You face a crime that we'll hear about
To pay the cost would never be the same
Eternal lovers we're not to blame
There's no mistake there's no refrain
The same surroundings that stood
Are here again this time

As I look around you can't be found
To lose you I'd rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
This time around
This time around
So look around we all will be found
In love

The world around us hangs in doubt
You face a crime that we'll hear about
To pay the cost would never be the same
Eternal lover you're not to blame
There's no mistake there's no refrain
The same surroundings that stood
Are here again this time

As I look around you can't be found
To lose you I'd rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
This time around
This time around
To lose you I'd rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
Fly
By

You Keep on Moving                Coverdale/Hughes

You keep on moving
Far away far away
You keep on moving
Far away far away
Everyday wheels are turning
And the cry still returning

Dawn will soon be breaking
The day has just begun
You put your arms around me
Like a circle 'round the sun
Dance across the seasons
To a place that no one knows
Where angels fear to tread

1. KNOCKING AT YOUR BACK DOOR (7:00)
(Blackmore/Glover/Gillan)

Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a Samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And none of us could reach that high
She came on like a teaser
I had to touch and please her
Enjoy a little paradise
The log was in my pocket
When Lucy met the Rockett
And she never knew the reason why

I can't deny it
With that smile on her face
It's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase

Feel it coming
It's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running
It's not against the law
The point of no return
And now you know the score
And now you're learning
What's knockin' at your back door

Sweet Nancy was so fancy
To get into her pantry
Had to be the aristocracy
The members that she toyed with
At her city club
Were something in diplomacy
So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues
And now she eases gently
From her Austin to her Bentley
Suddenly she feels so young


2. UNDER THE GUN (4:35)
(Blackmore/Glover/Gillan)

Infidel can you hear
Would be strange delight
I need you to give your sympathy tonight
When you hear what I say
Deeds I've done
Realise I've never lost and never won

I've got a feeling that it's never right
There was a reason but it's out of sight
It's going down somewhere tonight
Under the gun

Put death in my hand
Learn to fight
Who could care if it's wrong or if it's right
We got no choice
Under command
We're ordered to die or take this land

Stupid bastards and religious freaks
So safe in their castle keeps
They turn away as a mother weeps
Under the gun

When brave men fall
Under crimson skies
There's a sadness reflected in a soldier's
  eyes
Tears will dry
For those I kill
Remember no more their names but
  someone will

The only way to be victorious
Screw the fools who think it's glorious
Who gives a toss about the likes of us
Under the gun


3. NOBODY'S HOME (3:55)
(Blackmore/Glover/Gillan/Lord/Paice)

Nothing I can do about it
Maybe I won't even try
Your will is determined to kill any
Reason of mine

I see you coming
With that look in your eye
You act like a king but you ain't got a
  thing
In your mind

And now there's nobody home
My belly is aching
Your image is blown
Your lights are burning bright
But Nobody's Home

You talk about love and affection
If only you could
You're full of pride but there's nothing
  inside
And you think you're so good

You know you got it coming to ya
All things return
You need me
It's not gonna be my concern

And now there's nobody home
Your message is changing
The children have grown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobody's home

I hear you crying
What can I say
You get what you give so
Forgive me as I turn away

Nobody's home
A legend is dying
The seeds have been sown
Your lights are burning bright
But Nobody's Home


4. MEAN STREAK (4:20)
(Blackmore/Glover/Gillan)

She came home last night
  rotten rolling drunk
She talk no sense but she sound good
  so she think
So I reached over and said Hello
Is there some planet you'd care to go
And she said Venus on the rocks

She got a mean streak
Black Mamba don't compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation bitter sweet

She drives me crazy gets inside my brain
She spend my money down a drain
So I roll over for my reward
How much can I afford
And she says
Just a little more

I can't take this no more
I tried so hard but I can't get thru' the
  door
Because one smile from those eyes
And I stand there paralysed
And she says
Beg for more get down sucka you know
  what I like
  oh hang on


5. PERFECT STRANGERS (5:23)
(Blackmore/Glover/Gillan)

Can you remember remember my name
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
And cold spirits of ice
All my life
I am the echo of your past

I am returning the echo of a point in time
Distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
And laughing as the spirits appear
All your life
Shadows of another day

And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect Strangers

I know I must remain inside this silent
  well of sorrow

A strand of silver hanging through the
  sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind
Is aching with the dead of the night
Precious life (your tears are lost in
  falling rain)

And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect Strangers


6. A GYPSY'S KISS (4:40)
(Blackmore/Glover/Gillan)

John San what you can
La la Janette dance in sand
What's the mystery my son
Gypsy Dan Caravan
Won Tun Wan with your Chinese fan
It's part of history my son

Murder and rape with your power
The 10th revolution in far away days
It's come to this
A gypsy's kiss
All your power's gonna fade in the haze

Ya who' Jumme gae bile ya heed
The Senorita said
I'll drag yer lungs out through yer nose
Space truckers free and high
Teamsters get ya by and by
That should keep you on your toes

They got a gun at your head
But you ain't necessarily playing their
  game
They can't resist
A Gypsy's Kiss
All that's needed to drive them insane

John Wayne The Alamo
Crazy Horse Geronimo
I'll smoke a piece with you
Mind Body Heart and Soul
We got Rock and Roll
And there's nothing they can do

Hear the small voice of truth
Above the shouting despair of the crowd
What do you wish
A Gypsy's Kiss
Gets you strong for crying out loud


7. WASTED SUNSETS (3:55)
(Blackmore/Glover/Gillan)

The day is gone
  when the angels come to stay
And all the silent whispers
  will be blown away
And lying in the corner
  a pair of high heel shoes
Hanging on the wall
  gold and silver for the blues

One too many wasted sunsets
One too many for the road
And after dark the door is always open
Hoping someone else will show

Someone is waiting behind
  an unlocked door
Grey circles overhead empties
  on the floor
The cracks in the walls have
  grown too long
The slow hand is dragging on
  afraid to meet the dawn

One too many wasted sunsets
One too many for the road
And after dark the door is always open
Hoping someone else will show


8. HUNGRY DAZE (4:44)
(Blackmore/Glover/Gillan)

In a dark and sweaty room in '69
  tables turning
Dancing girls, silly girls, all kinds of girls
  and it was loud
Tuning up to madness in the back room
  candles burning
Present the Stinking Hippy and throw the
  naked thunder to the crowd
In the Hungry Daze

The long and lonely highway drags along
  it's going nowhere
Sickness and disease and mad
  corruption
  something's going wrong
The mountain's getting cold and lonely
  the trees are bare
We all came out to Montreux
  but that's another song
You've heard it all before
In hungry daze

Along the Mountain Road to do some
  drinking
  and now we're mobile again
Different girls, laughing girls, forever
  girls
  and it's so loud
The crew have lost again
  they are beaten men
The winning team united
  living for the crowd
These are the hungry daze


9. NOT RESPONSIBLE (4:36)


1. BAD ATTITUDE
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord)

take a look at
these dirty hands
take a look at this face these blazing eyes
do you see me as a broken man
tell me
are you really that blind

you got yourself a load of trouble now
you got yourself a bad deal
you say i've got a bad attitude
how d'you think i feel

you got me locked in a paper cage
you think i'm chained up but i'm just tied down
step aside get out of my way
i won't hurt you i had enough being pushed around

you got yourself a load of trouble now
you got yourself a bad deal
you say i've got a bad attitude
how d'you think i feel

don't want a number
i got a name
take a look at my face
talk about a bad attitude
things have got to change


2. THE UNWRITTEN LAW
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Paice)

listen to
  me
i've got a
  warning for
  you
you've got to
  learn to take
  more care
'cos if you swim in
  dirty water
be careful how you dry
  your hair
in a room within a room
in a hole within a hole
you've got to learn to share
  your secrets
or you'll lose your soul

i've got the evidence
i know you broke the unwritten law
another town another one night stand
you know you broke the law

it's so hard to hold back
when the fire is in your eyes
a silver dollar in my pocket
i don't like surprises
i've got your souvenir
is that the price i've got to pay
it ain't been that long
since the last charade

i know you're guilty
but i'm carrying the blame
i took out much more than i put in
and i felt the pain
in a dirty little room
with nowhere left to hide
you told the truth with your eyes
but you lied inside


3. CALL OF THE WILD
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord)

operator i'm looking for a girl
you've got to help me get through
i don't know much about her
so i'm relying on you
she got rhythm but no sense of timing
she likes living but she's got no
  address
operator you've got to get me out of
  this mess
let me tell you about her

she ain't got a face
she ain't got a name
she ain't got a leg to stand upon
she's out of touch
but not out of mind
and i've got to see again that gypsy
  child
operator this is the call of the wild

she's a hitch hiker never gets a ride
but you can bet she's on time
she's always around but so hard to
  find
she causes trouble she never takes
  offence
dirty mind a heart of gold
operator don't you put me on hold


4. MAD DOG
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)

don't
  look too
long in my
face
it could be a
  big mistake
i'm hanging on a
  thread so fine
i need a little space
i shouldn't say but i
  know i must
i've had enough of pain
i'm pissed off standing in
  the rain

it makes me feel like a mad dog
i got nothing to lose
mad dog
you got nothing i can use
mad dog howling at the moon
a mad dog

i need no friends
i'm on the edge of a broken dream
laughing at the pain but it makes me want to
  scream
i should have known she'd be no good
she tore my heart in two but i don't need to talk to
  you

you make me feel like a mad dog
i got nothing to lose
mad dog
you got nothing i can use
mad dog howling at the moon
a mad dog

she said a hard man is good to find
and then she raised a doubt
all that i could give she took
and then she threw me out
well i don't care i don't care anymore
i'm going to lose my grip
i'm going to let it rip


5. BLACK & WHITE
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord)

read all about it tell me
have you heard the news
captain bob he don't pay no dues
you know he's looking in my window
he's stepping on my toes
don't want the truth and it goes to show

i got a joker up my sleeve
i know what to believe
it ain't right just because it's in black and
  white

find yourself a hero
treat him like a friend
you build him up and tear him down again
it don't hold a candle hold it to the light
check it out is it wrong or right
is this the news of the world
it's just a pretty girl
she's all the news that's fit to print in
  black and white

inside information taken down note by note
a silent footstep that's all she wrote
shit that's all she wrote
no need to worry the baby's gone to bed
dreaming dirty dreams in black and white
  and read
now i got nothing to fear
is this the scoop of the year
headlines on my bathroom wall
  in black and white


6. HARD LOVIN' WOMAN
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)

she walked into the room
her hand upon her hip
said look out boy
i'll make your backbone slip
she looked straight at me
the devil in her eye
i knew what i was getting but took it by surprise
no fooling
she really knocked the stuffing out of me
some woman a hard lovin' woman
she chewed me up and spat me out

some woman
she's a hard lovin' woman
some woman a hard lovin' woman

she didn't wear nothing but a smile
  upon her face
licking her lips but i had the taste
her temperature was rising
i was coming to the boil
her fires were burning
  she was pouring on the oil
i do not jest she really took me to the cleaners
some woman
i felt just great when she pulled her 38's

it started with a smile
it turned into a laugh
it ended with a scream
i said enough's enough
never heard a word she wouldn't let go
a man's a man and every woman ought to know
and there i was
and she was dancing
some woman here we go again


7. THE SPANISH ARCHER
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)

well there must have been a reason for the smile that you had upon your
  face last night
are you the cat that got the cream did you lick your lips did you close
  your eyes
can you imagine how it feels it's so hard to reveal
oh i can't get through and i'm falling
i'm getting out i'm losing ground
the spanish archer's gonna bring you down

is there someone somewhere waiting in the wings to take my place
let's not drag it out like a cagney death scene
in this season of change it's not hard to explain
like the leaves on the trees i'm falling
and as you turn don't look away
the spanish archer's gonna make you pay

do you remember when the sky was blue we used to talk for miles
and now we drive along in this thundering silence
it's such an obvious lie with that easy smile of yours
i'm letting go and i'm falling
i'm getting out losing ground
the spanish archer's gonna bring you down

well is there something i can say as we stumble to the edge have we gone
  too far
why don't we call it a day before we call it a nightmare darlin'
if we made a mistake then all that it takes to be free
is the wave of a hand and you're falling and as you turn don't look away
the spanish archer's gonna make you pay


8. STRANGEWAYS
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)

strange
strange
i was born into
  confusion
my mother said to me when you
  become a man you'll understand
but it's still a mystery
and if you want to get ahead
get some decent clothes
the only way to make it
dress the part
that gets right up my nose

and it think to myself in this river of doubt
this is something i can do without
but strangeways is what i got

the indians are coming
i saw it on tv
they're 20,000 strong
but they always get depleted by the cavalry
salvation is at hand it's guaranteed
just send a donation straight to god 1-800 toll free

and i think to myself in this academy of fear
where am i going what am i doing here
but strangeways is all i got

have you seen the headlines
princess engaged
3 million out of work
but that's on the 2nd page
the alien has landed
finger in his ear
can't hear a word i am saying
but that ain't such a bad idea

and i think to myself in this cradle of
  lust
ashes to ashes and dust to dust
but strangeways is all you
  get


9. MITZI DUPREE
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)

flying to salt
  lake city
seats 3a and b
i was down and needed
  a window
but in 3a sat mitzi dupree
she said hi i am mitzi
the queen of the ping pong
where you going boy
i said nowhere
she said i'm movng on
i thought what is this
i cannot resist
here she is
and i've always wanted a girl
with a name
a name like mitzi dupree

she said what do you do
i said i'm a singer in a band
she said ya i'm an entertainer
reached out and took my hand
she was going to a mining town
way up north to do her show
i said it must be cold up there
she said depends on who you know
oh that look in her eye
i can tell you no lies
i'm just a man
she made me feel like a king in my mind
i love you mitzi dupree

i said what is this queen of the ping pong business
she smiled what do you think
it has no connection with china
i said oow have another drink
well i knew right away
that i'd seen her act before
in a room behind a kitchen in bangkok
and three or four times more in singapore
she may not be the first
but i know she ain't the worst
she was mine but i ran out of time
i miss you i love you mitzi dupree
my darling mitzi dupree


10. DEAD OR ALIVE
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)

don't turn off the light
you might draw the queen of spades
don't shut the door
you don't need to be alone
i won't bring you no food
there might be some poison in your meat
i've got to know are you dead or alive
don't shut the door are you dead or alive
dead or alive
pick your window you're leaving

don't look in the mirror
with a dollar up your face
you've got money to burn
you're cheap at half the price
oh don't powder your nose
don't blow your brains just for the the
  crack
i've got to know are you dead or alive
just for the crack are you dead or alive
dead or alive
pick your window you're leaving

you're running so fast
but you know you're standing still
i'm afraid of your shadow
and the knife in it's hand
you're dancing with death
to the tune of the dealer
and he don't care
don't give a toss
don't want to know if
  you're dead or alive
don't want to know if
  you're dead or alive
dead or alive
pick your window
  you're leaving


Hello again!  Sorry for the delay, but here are the lyrics
for Slaves and Masters.

KING OF DREAMS

It doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong
It really doesnt mean a thing
It doesnt matter if you like my song
As long as you can hear me sing
Cause I'm the thorn in every little girl's rose
You know I cut but never bleed
A shadow in the night, pure delight
I can satisfy your every need

(chorus 1)
I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm a fantasy man
Master of Illusion, magic touch in my hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar of love, second hand hero...King of Dreams

Dont make a difference what you got
It doesnt matter what you lose
Dont make a difference if you like it or not
Baby i'm gonna change your attitude
Cause all around me there is mystery and wonder
Now cant you see it in my eyes
I'll crack the sky, make you feel the thunder
You'll never see through my disguise

(chorus 2)
I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm a fantasy man
Master of Illusion, with my sleight of hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar for love, second hand hero...King Of Dreams

All around, All around
Emotional squeeze through again and again
I know how to please you, your mind is on the bend
Can't you feel the power, surrender in my arms
Beyond the witching hour we're travelling on and on...

(repeat chorus 1)
(repeat chorus 2)

THE CUT RUNS DEEP

Got your finger on the trigger
Your cold eyes taking aim
You took a shot at my heart
Let the bullets fly
Tell me has one of them got my name

(chorus)
What about the heartache
What about the emptiness inside
It doesn't just fade away
Turning the knife
How much can I bleed
The cut runs deep

I can't find no salvation
Can't find no healing touch
Reaching out for mercy
A stranger in your eyes
I want you too much

(repeat chorus)

FIRE IN THE BASEMENT

I came 'round to your front door your back door was locked
Pushed your button, rang your bell, you didn't hear me knock
I saw your window open wide, so I crawled inside
I ran to the top floor, but you were on the ground
I was on my way up and you were going down

(chorus)
Fire in the basement
Burn me up, scream and shout
Fire in the basement
Only you can put it out

This strange sensation that I'm going through
Sweet infatuation when I get next to you
I know what it takes to be a man, you understand
'Cause when the sparks start flying you'll never be the same
You know I'll hate to leave you girl but I'm so gald I came

(repeat chorus)

Smokey eyes burning bright
Innocence lost, satisfy my appetite
Surrender to the flame, what's your name
Let's get down to business, how can you refuse
Give this boy a helping hand, come on light my fuse

FORTUNETELLER

Cast your eyes into the crystal
Deep inside the mystery
Is that a vision of a lonely man
I fear it looks a lot like me

Is that a man without a woman
Whose empty life is but a shell
Empty hearts will echo
Forever in the wishing well

Fortuneteller
You've got to help me find an end to the nightmare
'Cause I cant stand this pain and the curse of time
Somewhere in your eyes I'll find the answer
Give me the truth I've been looking for
Be my guiding light, I'll take my chances
Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door

Some days come with a vengeance
Some days I feel so bad
The mirror holds no secrets
I lost the best thing that I had

Fortuneteller
Can you help me too see, is there an end to the sorrow
Or was this slow ride to nowhere always meant to be
Somewhere in your eyes, i'll find the answer
Give me the truth I've been looking for
Be my guding light, I'll take my chances
Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door

She was always taking more than she'd need
But we were both to blame somehow
In the heat of the moment I told her to leave
I guess I lost more than I found
But I remember...

TRUTH HURTS

You know my will is broken
You've got my heart on hold
I'm lying here in pieces so cold
It gets so hard to handle
All the things you need to say
But i guess I heard it all before anyway
Is love such a blessing or a curse
Either way
Truth hurts

Well there'll be no more running
Now I've got you face to face
I want to know who you've been loving in my place
You say I had it coming
Try to hold my head up high
Love gave me wings and left me paralyzed

There's nothing left alive
As we watch the spirits die
The world keeps turning
My heart keeps learning
Do you know where the guilty sleep

(chorus)
Babe I've got my pride
Somehow I will survive
The world keeps turning
My heart keeps learning
Do you know where the lonely sleep tonight

Another fallen angel
How far I just cant tell
Living without love is a living hell
Why is love such a blessing or a curse
Baby either way
Truth hurts

(chorus)
Baby I've got my pride
Somehow I will survive
My heart keeps learning
Don't know which is worse
But the one thing that I know
Truth hurts

LOVE CONQUERS ALL

Feels like the end
When you're closer to losing your dreams
Than losing a friend
Flying blind
I'm shooting into the dark
Who will I find
Oh girl
And if it takes me a lifetime
I swear I'll tear down every wall
Love conquers all

On my way
Tomorrow I rise with the sun
Soon I'll be gone
Words can't say
How the memories of feelings of love
They linger on
Oh girl
And if it takes me forever
I know it's worth every teardrop that falls
Love conquers all

(chrous/bridge)
Somewhere there's a place in your heart
Where the wounds never heal
Well you're not alone
That's just how I feel

Love conquers all
This one will last a lifetime
And if love conquers all
This one will last forever

BREAKFAST IN BED

Woke up this morning, rain coming down
Washing the sin from the street
Sometimes I feel like I'm losing ground
Just trying to make ends meet
Well I work every day to sweat out my dreams
Won't you show me that you understand
It's only my life, whatever that means
And you've got it all in your hands

(chrous)
I need someone to pull me through
Won't you take the pain from my head
Give me all your loving, the way you always do
Give me breakfast in bed

I feel like the good days are numbered
And my nights are getting too long
My hopes and my fears take their toll on the years
And my willpower's almost gone
Well it's a time full of trouble
A time of desperate need
Sometimes life don't make sense
Fighting the anger, jealousy and greed
One day I'll look back and wonder where it all went

(repeat chorus)

It don't take much to please me
I'm just a simple man
Won't you please believe me
I gotta tell you
it don't take much - a tender touch
So baby do the best that you can

TOO MUCH IS NOT ENOUGH

You're so extreme, you're super heavy
You're one step over the line
Not what you seem, don't try and tell me
I know what's really on your mind

Once you get started, you're out of control
Don't play that sweet and innocent with me girl
I know you know you want to rock and rolll
But I got just what you need

(chorus)

I, I want to feel your love
Too much is not enough
I, I want to feel your touch
Too much is not enough

You've got it bad, you're hopelessly addicted
You're always searching for the cure
Love is the crime, you stand convicted
You keep on coming back for more

Come on admit it, you're over the top
That song and dance won't work with me girl
You just cant quit it, don't know when to stop
But I got the remedy

(repeat chorus)

Baby stop wasting time
And let me know that you're mine
I need to feel your embrace
How much can I take

WICKED WAYS

You're so hot, you're so cool
I can see that you're nobody's fool
Now tell me am I coming though
It's too late, I can't wait
Believe me it's gonna be a big mistake
But I'm tempted to believe in you

I don't want to run and I don't want to fight
I just want to be the one you love tonight
Unclose my eyes, let it be

(chorus)
Bring on the band of angels from the great divide
I'll never get to heaven so take me for a ride
Fruit on the tree is ahking, my mind is in a daze
I just want a taste of your love
And learn your wicked ways

You're so bad, it feels good
There's so much I never understood
Oh Mama take a look at me know
I'm hung up, strung out
All I want to do is scream and shout your name
Addicted to you somehow

Electric in your touch there's magic in your kiss
You know I never knew that love could feel like this
Unclose my eyes, set me free

(repeat chorus)


And there you have it!  Enjoy.....
Need anything else, drop me a line......

Good Golly said little Miss Molly

Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
when she was rockin' to the east and west
Lucille was oh so real
when she was didn't do her daddies will come on baby

I'm a speed king, you got to hear me sing
I'm a speed king, see me fly

Saturday night and I fust got paid
Gonna fool about ain't goona save
Some people gonna rock, some people goona roll
Gonna have a party to save my soul
Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man
The been causin' trouble since it all began.
Take a little rice take a little beans
Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans

I'm a speed king, you got to hear me sing
I'm a speed king, see me fly

Good Golly said little Miss Molly
when she was rockin' in the house of blue light
Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty
when she was rockin' to the east and west
Lucille was oh so real
when she was didn't do her daddies will come on baby
 drive me crazy do it do it

 B l o o d s u c k e r

Goota balck breast Chinese eyes
Got an English brain that's gonna make me wise
Got a long story that I know so well

Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give
Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live
I tried another but she didn't want to know

Take a hold now if you can
Take a lesson from where I wanna go
Guess I'll stay awhile I really love you so
How's about another sip of all the wine you got
Take a tip from me and give it here I'll drink the lot
I'm not a winey I'm here and spread the news
Maybe in a whine when I'm here I've moved around
I can find a wayto pay you back twenty pounds

Really got a lot of lovin' that I wanna give
Baby I'm a mystery but you know I gotta live
I tried another but she didn't want to know

 C h i l d   i n   t i m e

Sweet child in time you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between the good and the bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll
If you've been dab, Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes and low your head
And wait for the ricechet

 F l i g h t   o f   t h e   r a t

Spread the words around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone

Once I had a dream
To sing before the queen
She wouldn't see the show.
What a fright
I couldn't do it right
Oh what a night
Mystic Demons fly
All about the sky
With memories of a clown
The saddest show in town
When I was seventeen
My mother said to me
Be careful what you touch
You shouldn't take so much
I blew my mind
She was so kind
I could have cried
In my mind
I had to find
A king of new way
Of being oh so cool
Like a blue blooded
Well studied
English fool
Speak about the past
Times are changing fast
Once I was so weak
I couldn't even speak
Shaking out a curse

Nothing could be worse
Walking throught the door
Who could ask for more
Now I'm free
And I can see
And I can see

Spread the words around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone

Nothing could be worse
Walking throught the door
Who could ask for more
Now I'm free
And I can see
And I can see

Please stay away

 I n t o   t h e   f i r e

Take the trouble to decidethe things you do
Will pot be the things that don't appeal to you
See the mess you're making can't you see your fakin
Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna-
    -into the fire!

Turn on to the mandrake that was given to you
See if you can make it like the others do
Feel the blood a knockin' when you're finger poppin
Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna-
    -into the fire!!

Stop your bleeding mind before it's over and done
Listen very closely to the message I've sung
Feel the blood a knockin' when you're finger poppin
Gonna make it hard for you, you're gonna-
    -into the fire!!!

 L i v i n g   w r e c k

You came along a weekend
But you only stayed for one night
You pulled off your hair
You took out your teeth
Oh, I almost died of fright
You'd better do something for your own sake
Yes it's a shame
Ah, you know you're a living wreck
You said you were a virgin
Full of promise and mystery
But I know that you
Would bring me down
'Cos everyone calls you big "G"
You'd better do something for your own sake
Yes it's a shame
Ah you know you're a living wreck.

We all come out to Montreux on the lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile we didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers were at the pest place around

Smoke on the water and fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

They burned down the danbling house it died with an awful sound
Funke and Cloud was running in and out pulling kinds out the ground
When it all way over we would lose the race

Smoke on the water and fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

We ended up in the Grand Hotel, it way empty , cool and fare
But with the Rolling truck Stones things just outside waking our music here
Withe the few red lights and a few old beds we made a place to sweat
No matter what we got out of this I know, I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water and fire in the sky
Smoke on the water

 S p a c e   t r u c k i n g

Well we had a lot of luck on Venus
We always have a ball on Mars
We're meeting all the groovy people
We're rocked the Milky way so yar
We danced around the Borealice
We're space trucking round the stars

Come on, come on, come on,
Let's go space trucking
Come on, come on, come on,
Let's go space trucking

Remember when you did the woonshot
And Ponny Treeper lid the way
We'd more to the Canaveral moonstop
And every night would danue and sway
We got music in our solar system
We're space trucking round the stars

Come on, come on, come on,
Let's go space trucking
Come on, come on, come on,
Let's go space trucking

The fireball that we rooled was moving
And now we got the new machine
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah," the treaks said,
"Man those cats can really sing"
They got music in their solar systems
They're rocked around the Milky way
They danced around the Borealice
They're space trucking everyday

Come on, come on, come on,
Let's go space trucking
Come on, come on, come on,
Let's go space trucking   etc.

    DEEP  PURPLE    p&c 1973   " Who Do We Think We Are "
***************************************************************

     * Woman From Tokyo *

        Fly into the rising sun,
        Faces, smiling everyone
        Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
        I feel it in my heart

        My woman from Tokyo
        She makes me see
        My woman from Tokyo
        She's so good to me

        Talk about her like a Queen
        Dancing in a Eastern Dream
        Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
        That carries me away

        My woman from Tokyo
        She makes me see
        My woman from Tokyo
        She's so good to me

    But I'm at home and I just don't belong ...

    So far away from the garden we love
    She is what moves in the soul of a dove
    Soon I shall see just how black was my night
    When we're alone in Her City of light

        Rising from the neon gloom
        Shining like a crazy moon
        Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
        I get high

        My woman from Tokyo
        She makes me see
        My woman from Tokyo
        She's so good to me

       * Mary Long *

      Mary Long is a hypocrite
      She does all the things that she tells us not to do
      Selling filth from a corner shop
      And knitting patterns to the high street queue
      She paints roses, even makes them smell good
      And then she draws titties on the khazy wall
      Drowns kittens just to get a thrill
      And writes sermons in the Sunday Chronicle

      How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?
      When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?

      Mary told Johnny not to write such trash
      Said it was a waste of public money
      She made a fuss, they made apologies
      But everybody thought the show was funny
      When the nation knew you'd had children
      It came as such a surprise
      We really didn't know you'd had it in you
      How you did it we can only surmise

      How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?
      When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?

      Mary Long, you're not alone
      But you're a long way behind our times
      What we do in full frontal view
      Is more honest than your clean-up mind
      What I'm saying, Mary Long is
      When you can spare a minute
      Go find your friend the porny Lord
      Dig your self a hole and jump in it

      How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?
      When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?

       * Super Trouper *

 I was a young man when I died
 I was a flash, I was full of pride
 I gave it all, I gave my soul, I was so strong
 I felt the truth, I felt the pain in every song

     How well you know me
     You've seen me cry
     I'm just a shadow
     In a rock and roll sky

 I was living in a rock and roll sky
 I was a king, heavy on the style
 Super trouper, yes I know you well, making me shine
 I couldn't see what you did to me. I was so blind

     How well you know me
     You've seen me cry
     I'm just a shadow
     In a rock and roll sky

 I wanna be like I was before
 But this time I'm gonna know the score
 I need a home I can leave behind knowing you're there
 Super trouper, I can see you now, return your stare

     How well you know me
     You've seen me cry
     I'm just a shadow
     In a rock and roll sky

       * Smooth Dancer *

 Black suede, don't mean you're good for me
 Black suede, just brings your mystery
 I want to be inside of you
 But you're black and I don't know what to do

 You're a smooth dancer
 But it's alright
 Cos I'm a freelancer
 And you can never break me though you try
 To make me think you're magical

 Baby, you're the one who can never see the sun
 Because it don't shine nightly
 Don't you look at me because I'm gonna shake free
 You'd better hang on tightly
 You wanna rule the world, but you're acting like a girl
 Who's got a false pregnancy
 You've swollen up inside with nothing but your pride
 And yet you keep on dancing

 Black suede, don't waste your time on me
 Black suede, I sense your mockery
 I tried to go along with you
 But you're black and I know just what to do

 You're a smooth dancer
 But it's alright
 Cos I'm a freelancer
 And you can never break me though you try
 To make me think you're magical

 I think you're crazy, your two-timing ways
 They don't bother me none
 You'd better do it right because one day or night
 I'm gonna walk to freedom
 You know I loved you once and I wanna love again
 But you don't give nothing
 You can see it in my eyes so you've got to realize
 Baby, I ain't bluffing

 Black suede, don't waste your time on me
 Black suede, don't bring me misery
 I tried to be inside of you
 But you're black and now I know what to do

 You're a smooth dancer
 But it's alright
 Cos I'm a freelancer
 And I can tell you're faking though you try
 To make me think you're magical

 Baby, you're the one who can never see the sun
 Bacause it don't shine nightly
 Don't you look at me because I'm gonna shake free
 You'd better hang on tightly
 You know I loved you once and I wanna love again
 But you don't give nothing
 You can see it in my eyes so you've got to realize
 Baby, I ain't bluffing
 Baby, you can rock'n'roll
 But you can never show your soul, smooth dancer

       * Rat Bat Blue *

 Hey baby, what you gonna do
 When the lights go up on you ?
 What's your name, can I drive you home ?
 Sweet woman, are you all alone ?
 You're the one for me
 I'm gonna keep you busy as a bee, could bee, could be
 Rat bat blue

 Now, get up woman, don't be slow
 It's getting late and I wanna go
 No cause for acting big
 Got to love, got to live
 Stick around with me
 I'm gonna show you things you never thought you'd see,
        you see
 Rat bat blue
 You're so fine

 Get out ! You didn't understand
 I'm a hard loving man
 No way you can satisfy
 The way you look, the way you lie
 And when you shut the door
 Make sure I don't see you 'round here no more
 Rat bat blue
 Alright

       * Place In Line *

 I'm living in this line
 I know my place, could think of no way
 Of edging along in a loser's race
 The line was moving slowly
 Day by night
 Everybody's shuffling on to keep a place in the line

 Nine long years I've been in line
 Getting nowhere there is no reason
 For this line I don't care.
 Everybody's standing in the burning sun
 Everybody's shuffling on keeping a place in the line

 Don't you think we're gonna make it
 We've got a place in line
 We're gonna make it some time
 Somehow

   * Our Lady *

 Thinking out of line just to make the sun shine
 Anyway I can be like you
 Fighting with the truth
 Trying to hide a fool in a fantasy
 I'm dreaming, lay me down and take me now
 Our Lady of the skies

 Hiding in the sun like a loaded gun reality
 Aiming high at my dream
 But I can get along
 She makes me strong, anyway
 I'm dreaming and there is no other way
 Our Lady of the skies

 Flying in the sky with a bunch of high fidelity
 I can hear your song
 Offer me a ring just to show me your sincerity
 I'm dreaming, let me go
 Our Lady of the skies

Smoke on the water

They burned down the danbling house it died with an awful sound

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the treaks said,
Man those cats can really sing"
They got music in their solar systems
They're rocked around the Milky way
They danced around the Borealice
They're space trucking every day

Many times :
Come on, come on, come on,
Let's go space trucking

1. KING OF DREAMS  5:30
(Blackmore/Glover/Turner)

It doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong
It really doesn't mean a thing
It really doesn't matter if you like my song
As long as you can hear me sing
'Cause I'm the thorn in every little girl's rose
You know I cut but never bleed
A shadow in the night, pure delight
I can satisfy your every need

I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm a fantasy man
Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar of love, second hand hero.. King of
 Dreams

Don't make a difference what you got
It doesn't matter what you lose
Don't make a difference if you like it or not
Baby I'm gonna change your attitude
'Cause all around me there is mystery and wonder
Now can't you see it in my eyes
I'll crack the sky, make you feel the thunder
You'll never see through my disguise

I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm a fantasy man
Master of illusion, with my sleight of hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar for love, second hand hero... King of
 Dreams

All around, all around
Emotional squeeze through again and again
I know how to please you, your mind is on the bend
Can't you feel the power, surrender in my arms
Beyond the witching hour we're travelling on and on

I'm a real smooth dancer,I'm a fantasy man
Master of illusion, magic touch in my hands
The stages are empry when I steal the scenes
A beggar of love, second hand hero... King of
 Dreams

I'm a real smooth dancer, fantasy man
Master of illusion, sleight of hand
The stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar for love.. King of Dreams

2. THE CUT RUNS DEEP  5:42
(Blackmore/Glover/Turner/Lord/Paice)

Got your finger on the trigger
Your cold eyes taking aim
You took a shot at my heart
Let the bullets fly
Tell me has one of them got my name

What about the heartache
What about the emptiness inside
It doesn't just knife
How much can I bleed
The cut runs deep

I can't find no healing touch
Reaching out for mercy
A stranger in your eyes
I want you too much

What about the heartache
What about the emptiness inside
It doesn't just fade away
Turning much can I bleed
The cut runs deep

3. FIRE IN THE BASEMENT  4:43
(Blackmore/Glover/Turner/Lord/Paice)

I came'round to your front door, your back door
 was locked
Pushed your button, rang your bell, you didn'thear
 me knock
I saw your window open wide, so I crawled inside
I ran to the top floor, but you were on the ground
I was on my way up and you were going down

Fire in the basement
Burn me up, scream and shout
Fire in the basement
Only you can put it out

This strange sensation that I'm going through
Sweet infatuation when I get next to you
I know what it takes to be a man, you understand
'Cause when the sparks start flying you'll never be
 the same
You know I'll hate to leave you girl but I'm so glad I
 came

Fire in the basement
Burn me up, scream and shout
Fire in the basement
Only you can put it out

Smoky eyes burning bright
Innocence lost, satisfy my appetite
Surrender to the flame, what's your name
Let's get down to business, how can you refuse
Give this boy a helping hand, come on light my fuse

4. TRUTH HURTS  5:14

You know my will is broken
You've got my heart on hold
I'm lying here in pieces, so cold
It getsso hard
to handle
All the things you need to say
But I guess I heard it allbefore anyway
Is love such a blessing or a curse
Either way
Truth hurts

Well there'll be no more running
Now I've got you face to face
I want to know who you've been loving in my place
You say I had it coming
Try to hold my head up high
Love gave me wings and left me paralyzed

There's nothing left alive
As we watch teh spirits die
The world keeps learning
Do you know where the guilty sleep

Babe I've got my pride
Somehow I will survive
The world keeps learning
Do you konw where the loney sleep tonight

Another fallen angel
How far I just can't tell
Living without love is a living hell
Why is love such a blessing or a curse
Baby either way
Truth hurts

Baby I've got my pride
Somehow I will survive
My heart keeps learning
Don't know which is worse
But one thing that I know
Truth hurts


5.BREAKFAST IN BED  5:16
(Blackmore/Glover/Turner)

Woke up this morning, rain coming down
Washing the sin from the street
Sometimes I feel like I'm losing ground
Just trying to make ends meet
Well I work every day to sweat out my dreams
Won't you show me that you understand
It's only my life, whatever that means
And you've got it all in your hands

I need someone to pull me through
Won't you take the pain from my head
Give me all your loving, the way you always do
Give me breakfast in bed

I feel like the good days are numbered
And my nights are getting too long
My hopes and my fears take their toll on the years
And my willpower's almost gone
Well it's a time full of trouble
A time of desperate need
Sometimes life don't make sense
Fighting the anger, jealousy and greed
One day I'll look back and wonder where it all went

I need someone to pull me through
Won't you take the pain from my head
Give me all your loving, the way you always do
Give me breakfast in bed

It don't take much to please me
I'm just a simple man
Won't you please believe me
I gotta tell you
It don't take much -- a tender touch
So baby do the best that you can.


6. LOVE CONQUERS ALL  3:47
(Blackmore/Glover/Turner)

Feels like the end
When you're closer to losing your dreams
Than losing a friend
Flying blind
I'm shooting into the dark
Who will I find
Oh girl
And if it takes me a lifetime
I swear I'll tear down every wall
Love conquers all

On my way
Tomorrow I rise with the sun
Soon I'll be gone
Words can't say
How the memories of feelings of love
They linger on
Oh girl
And if it takes me forever
I know it's worth every teardrop that falls
Love conquers all

Somewhere there's a place in your heart
Where the wounds never heal
Well you're not alone
That's just how I feel

Love conquers all
This one will last a lifetime
And if love conquers all
This one will last forever.

7. FORTUNETELLER  5:45
(Blackmore/Glover/Turner/Lord/Paice)

Cast your eyes into the crystal
Deep inside the mystery
Is that a vision of a lonely man
I fear it looks a lot like me

Is that a man without a woman
Whose empty life is but a shell
Empty hearts will echo
Forever in the wishing well

Fortuneteller
You've got to help me find an end to the nightmare
'Cause I can't stand this pain and the curse of time
Somewhere in ypur eyes I'll find the answer
Give me the truth I've been looking for
Be my guiding light, I'll take my chances
Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door

Some days come with a vengeance
Some days I feel so bad
The mirror holds no secrets
I lost the best thing that I had

Fortuneteller
Can you help me to see, is there an end to the sorrow
Or was this slow ride to nowhere always meant to be
Somewhere in your eyes I'll find the answer
Give me the truth I've been looking for
Be my guiding light, I'll take my chances
Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door

She was always taking more than she'd need
But we were both to blame somehow
In the heat of the moment I told her to leave
I guess I lost more than I found
But I remember...

8. TOO MUCH IS NOT ENOUGH  4:19
(Turner/Held/Greenwood)

You're so extreme, you're super heavy
You're one step over the line
Not what you seem, don't try and tell me
I know what's really on your mind

Once you get started you've out of control
Don't play that sweet and innocent with me girl
I know you know want to rock and roll
But I got just what you need

I, I want to feel your love
Too much is not enough
I, I want to feel your touch
Too much is not enough

You've got it bad, you're hopelessly addicted
Yuo're always searching for the cure
Love is the crime, you stand convicted
You keep on coming back for more
Come on admit it, you're over the top

That song and dance won't work with me girl
You just can't quit it, don't know when to stop
But I got the remedy

I, I want to feel your love
Too much is not enough
I, I want to feel your touch
Too much is not enough

Baby stop wasting time
And let me know that you're mine
I need to feel your embrace
How much can I take.

9. WICKED WAYS  6:35
(Blackmore/Glover/Turner/Lord/Paice)

You're so hot, you're so cool
I can see that you're nobody's fool
Now tell me am I coming through
It's too late, I cant wait
Believe it's gonna be a big mistake
But I'm temped to believe in you

I don't want to run and I don't want to fight
I just want to be the one you love tonight
Unclose my eyes, let it be

Bring on the band of angels form the great devide
I'll never get toheaven so take me for a ride
Fruit on the tree is shaking, my mind is in a daze
I just want a taste of your love
And learn your wicked ways

You're so bad, it feels good
There's so much I never understood
Oh Mama take a look at me now
I'm hung up, dtrung out
All I want to do is scream and shoot your name
Addicted to you somehow

Electric in your touch there's magic in your kiss
You know I neverknew that love could feel like this
Unclose my eyes, set me free

Bring on the band of angels from the great divide
I'll never get to heaven so take me for a ride
Fruit on the tree is shaking, my mind is in a daze
I just want a taste of your love
And learn your wicked ways
