And The Address
(Blackmore / Lord)
(instrumental)
Hush
(South)
I
got a certan little girl she's on my mind
No
doubt about it she looks so fine
She's
the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes
she's gonna make me feel so bad
Hush,
hush
I
thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush,
hush
She
broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush,
hush
Thought
I heard her calling my name now
Hush,
hush
I
need her loving and I'm not to blame now
(Love,
love)
They
got it early in the morning
(Love,
love)
They
got it late in the evening
(Love,
love)
Well,
I want that, need it
(Love,
love)
Oh,
I gotta gotta have it
She's
got loving like quicksand
Only
took one touch of her hand
To
blow my mind and I'm in so deep
That
I can't eat and I can't sleep
Listen
Hush,
hush
Thought
I heard her calling my name now
Hush,
hush
She
broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush,
hush
Thought
I heard her calling my name now
Hush,
hush

Purple - Shades of Deep Purple - Lyrics
I
need her loving and I'm not to blame now
(Love,

They
got it early in the morning
(Love,
love)
They
got it late in the evening
(Love,

Well,
I want that, need it
(Love,
love)
Oh,
I gotta gotta have it
One More Rainy Day
(Lord/Evans)
Changes,
visible changes
Sky
looking so forlorn
It
looks like the world's been born
On
one more rainy day
Trying
to see the sunlight
My
heart's crying out loud
I
try to see through the clouds
On
one more rainy day
One
more rainy day
Once
again my mind is grey
This
is what a rainy day can do
One
more rainy day
One
more rainy day
Sun
starts shining on through
New
day a day with you
It's
strange what sun can do
On
one more rainy day
One
more rainy day
Once
again my mind is grey
This
is what a rainy day can do
One
more rainy day
One
more rainy day
a) Prelude : Happiness
(Traditional arr. Deep Purple)
(instrumental)
b) I'm So Glad
Elmore James)
I'm
so glad
I'm
so glad
I'm
glad, I'm glad, I'm glad
I'm
so glad
I'm
so glad
I'm
glad, I'm glad, I'm glad
Don't
know what to do
Don't
know what to do
Don't
know what I'm gonna do
Another
week in
Telephoning
Tired
of groaning for you
I'm
so glad
I'm
so glad
I'm
glad, I'm glad, I'm glad
I'm
so glad
I'm
so glad
I'm
glad, I'm glad, I'm glad
Mandrake Root
(Blackmore/Evans/Lord)
I've
got a Mandrake Root
It's
some thunder in my brain
I
feed it to my babe
She
thunders just the same
Food
of love sets her flame
Ah,
stick it up
I've
got the Mandrake Root
Baby's
just the same
She
still feels a quiver
She's
still got the flame
She
slows down, slows right down
I've
got the power
Help
(Lennon/McCartney)
When
I was younger, so much younger than today
I
never needed anybody's help in any way
But
now these days are gone I'm not so self assured
Now
I find I've changed my mind, opened up the door
Help
if you can I'm feeling down
But
I do appreciate you being round
Help
me get my feet back on the ground
Won't
you please help me
And
now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My
independence seems to vanish in the haze
But
every now and then I feel so insecure
Now
I know I need you like I've never done before
Help
if you can I'm feeling down
But
I do appreciate you being round
Help
me get my feet back on the ground
Won't
you please help me
Help
I
need somebody
Help
Not
just anybody
Help
You
know I need someone
Help
Love Help Me
(Blackmore/Evans)
Vibrant
flashes in my mind
Remind
me of a foregone time
Blackened
faces, broken romance
Blackened
faces
My
broken heart has bled
With
memories of a love that's dead
Sometimes
happy then sad
I
need love, love help me
[Passing
by the grounds of time]
Memories
that are only mine
Looking
for love, a brand new love
Looking
for love
Dreams
that are hard to see
Finding
a new love for me
Someday
she must come along
I
need love, love help me
I
need love to come home
Somewhere
there must be one
Hoping
someday for good news
Waiting
for that girl to choose
Only
hoping, all I can do
Only
hoping
One
day she must come along
A
girl as pretty as a song
A
woman just there for me
I
need love, love help me
Vibrant
flashes in my mind
Remind
me of a foregone time
Blackened
faces, broken romance
Blackened
faces
My
broken heart has bled
With
memories of a love that's dead
Sometimes
happy then sad
I
need love, love help me
I
need love, love help me
I
need love, love help me

The Book of Taliesyn
Album by Deep Purple, released
1968
Listen, Learn, Read On
(Blackmore/Lord/Evans)
In
ages past when spells were cast
In
a time of men in steel
When
a man was taught no special thing
It
was all done by feel
So
listen, so learn, so read on
You
gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
Hear
the song of lovely Joan
Her
sound so sweet and clear
In
the courtroom of the King
Among
children and the peers
So
listen, so learn, so read on
You
gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
"Now
hear ye the words of Taliesyn,
on
the foaming beach of the ocean,
in
the day of trouble,
I
shall be of more service to thee
than
three hundred salmon..."
The
hare he bounds across the page
Past
castles white and fair
Past
dreaming chessmen on their boards
With
a fool's mate as a snare
So
listen, so learn, so read on
You
gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
"Three
times I have been born
I
know this from meditation..."
The
bird he flies the distance
From
pages two to six
Past
minstrels in their boxes
To
the waters of the Styx
So
listen, so learn, so read on
You
gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
Don't
take the pictures lightly
Listen
to their sound
For
from their coloured feeling
Experience
is found
So
listen, so learn, so read on
You
gotta turn the page, read the Book of Taliesyn
"All
the sciences of the world are collected in my breast,
for
I know what has been, what is
now,
and what
hereafter will occur..."

Kentucky Woman
(Neil Diamond)
Kentucky
Woman
She
shines in her own kind of light
She
looks at you once in a day
And
what's wrong is alright
And
I love her, God knows I love her
Kentucky
Woman
She
gets to know you
She
gets to hold you
Kentucky

She
ain't the kind to turn
at
the drop of her name
Well

they
turn you on just the same
And
I love her,
God
knows I love her
Kentucky
Woman
She
gets to know you
She
gets to hold you
Kentucky
Woman
I
don't want much
The
Good Lord's earth beneath my feet
A
gentle touch
Cause
that one girl in life is sweet and good
There
ain't no doubt, I'm talking about
Kentucky
Woman
She
gets to know you
She
gets to hold you

She
gets to hold you

b) We Can Work It Out
(Lennon/McCartney)
Try
to see it my way
Do
I have to keep on talking till I can't go wrong
While
you see it your way
Run
the risk of knowing that our love will soon be gone
We
can work it out
We
can work it out
Think
of what you're saying
You
can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright
Think
of what I'm saying
We
can work it out and get it straight or say goodnight
We
can work it out
We
can work it out
Life
is very short and there's no time
For
fussing and fighting my friend
I
have always thought that it's a crime
So
I will ask you once again
I'll
ask you once again
Try
to see it my way
Only
time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While
I see it your way
There's
a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We
can work it out
We
can work it out
Life
is very short and there's no time
For
fussing and fighting my friend
I
have always thought that it's a crime
So
I will ask you once again
I'll
ask you once again
Try
to see it my way
Only
time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While
I see it your way
There's
a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We
can work it out
We
can work it out
At
least we can try
We
can try out to work it out someday
Shield
(Lord/Blackmore/Evans)
Mama
plays a queen on the hill built on a dream
While
the children play in the field
Papa
smokes the pipe of a sweet and better life
But
how strong is the shield?
Can
peace be found on the carpet above ground
Where
sky is forever blue
So
let it pass baby now, the slow and riding cloud
Which
may take me from you
Many
things a man can lose
His
self, his rights, his views
But
never his heart or his love
So
take this hand of mine and climb baby, climb
To
the hill up above
Now
you can play a queen on the hill built on a dream
While
our children play in the field
I
can smoke the pipe of a sweet and better life
And
trust in the strength of the shield
So
trust in you love, and Lucy of above
And
let light pass like a wheel
Don't
take the chance of life's hectic dance
Kiss
the strength of the shield
The
seeker will be found by the looker on the ground
And
to his wish he will yield
Fate
will have it's word, of course [think
this line is wrong...]
And
time will change its course
And
hold the strength of the shield
Anthem
(Lord/Evans)
When
the night wind softly blows through my open window
Then
I start to remember the girl that brought me joy
Now
the night wind softly blows sadness to tomorrow
Bringing
tears to eyes so tired
Eyes
I thought could cry no more
If
the day would only come
Then
you might just appear
even
though you'd soon be gone
When
I reached out my hand
If
I could see you
If
only I could see you
To
see if you are laughing or crying
When
the night winds softly blow
In
my dark and whispering room
Memories
still bring me a numbness to my feelings
Take
my hand and brush my brow
In
the warm and fevered dark
Heart
is madly beating
My
crazy thoughts are burning
When
the night winds softly blow
If
the day would only come
Then
you might just appear
even
though you'd soon be gone
When
I reached out my hand
If
I could see you
If
only I could see you
To
see if you are laughing or crying
When
the night winds softly blow
If
the day would only come
Then
you might just appear
even
though you'd soon be gone
When
I reached out my hand
If
I could see you
If
only I could see you
To
see if you are laughing or crying
When
the night winds softly blow
River Deep, Mountain High
(Spector/Greenwich/Barry)
When
you were a young girl
Did
you have a rag doll
The
only doll you've ever owned
Now
I'll love you just the way you loved that rag doll
Only
now my love has grown
It
gets stronger as the river flows
Deeper
baby, heaven knows
Higher,
as it goes
Do
I love you, my oh my
River
Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do
I love you, would I cry
Oh
I love you baby, how I love you baby
When
you were a young girl
Did
you have a puppy
That
always followed you around
Well
I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No
I'll never never let you down
Cos
it gets stronger as the river flows
It
gets deeper baby, heaven knows
It
gets higher, so much higher, as it goes
Do
I love you, my oh my
River
Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do
I love you, would I cry
Oh
I love you baby, how I love you baby
I
love you baby like a flower loves a spring
I
love you baby like a robin likes to sing
I
love you baby like a schoolboy likes his pie
And
oh I love you baby, River deep, Mountain high
Do
I love you, my oh my
River
Deep, Mountain High, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do
I love you, would I cry
Oh
I love you baby, how I love you baby

Chasing Shadows
(Lord/Paice)
Chasing
shadows, over my walls
with
myself hardly sleeping
Dwarfs
and giants, twenty feet tall
fill
the room with their creeping
Sounds
of breathing sharpen my ears
then
they fade into nothing
Someone's
laughter out in the street
fills
the night with their loving
I
feel the ice in my head
Running
its hands through my bed
Not
even dreaming I seem to be dead
Colours
of yellow and colours of red
All
I'm asking some secret voice
is
to lead me to darkness
Blind
(Lord)
I
see reflections in the water
Autumn
colours, summer's daughter
And
as as the year is growing older
I
see winter on my shoulder
I
stand in the haze
Watching
stormy ripples grow on my own
Never
knew your needed
Till
I found myself standing here alone
And
in the water, such a sad face
Slowly
drowning, such a sad face
If
only I could change the seasons
Like
a poet, I've my reasons
It
started to snow in the middle of July
Wonder
why
Never
did understand you
My
sorrow is hanging in the grey sky
In
the summer days we flew to the sun
On
melting wings
But
the seasons changed to fast
Leave
us all behind
Blind
But
then the stone fell on the water
Putting
end to summer's daughter
And
me, I turn away remembering
All
the seasons, such a sad thing
It
started to rain in the middle of the sun
Winter's
begun
Never
did understand you
My
sorrow is hanging in the grey sky
In
the summer days we flew to the sun
On
melting wings
But
the seasons changed to fast
Leave
us all behind
Blind

Why Didn't Rosemary
(Blackmore/Lord/Evans/Simper/Paice)
There's
a black hill
We
had a climb
Everything
I need but nothing's mine
Satan's
world, I've had a kill
Why
didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?
Lying
there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh
man won't do it, but the devil will
I'm
losing time and my mind
Why
can't I ever have what's naturally mine?
I
got life and the things that go with it
If
there's something else, where can i get it?
Lying
there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh
man won't do it, but the devil will
Well
here's my views, I always lose
Things
I want to do are yesterday's news
Say
life's a ball, I've had it all
Out
there in another dance hall
Lying
there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh
man won't do it, but the devil will
Take
me as I am, an excuse for a man
Wherever
I push someone stops my hand
As
a matter of interest, tell me if you will
Why
didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?
Lying
there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh
man won't do it, but the devil will
Oh,
why won't Rosemary ever take the pill?
Bird Has Flown
(Evans/Blackmore/Lord)
Oh
the beggar on his cornerstone
Catches
pity in his wrinkled hand
But
the lover whose bird has flown
Catches
nothing only grains of sand
All
the children in the distant house
They
have feelings only children know
But
the lover whose bird has flown
Catches
nothing only flakes of snow
The
sensation is not new to you
It's
something we all have known
You
get it - it goes right through you
Yes
it's something we all have known
And
the bird it has flown To a place on it's own
Somewhere
all alone
Now
the hermit in his lonely cave
Has
himself to keep him company
But
the lover whose bird has flown
He
has heartaches same as you and me
The
sensation's not new to you
It's
something we all have known
You
get it - it goes right through you
Yes
it's something we all have known
And
the bird it has flown
Now
the hermit in his lonely cave
Has
himself to keep him company
But
the lover whose bird has flown
He
has heartaches same as you and me
Oh
it's started snowing
April
(Blackmore/Lord)
April
is a cruel time
Even
though the sun may shine
And
world looks in the shade as it slowly comes away
Still
falls the April rain
And
the valley's filled with pain
And
you can't tell me quite why
As
i look up to the grey sky
Where
it should be blue
Grey
sky where I should see you
Ask
why, why it should be so
I'll
cry, say that I don't know
Maybe
once in a while I'll forget and I'll smile
But
then the feeling comes again of an April without end
Of
an April lonely as they come
In
the dark of my mind I can see all too fine
But
there is nothing to be done when I just can't feel the sun
And
the springtime's the season of the night
Grey
sky where it should be blue
Grey
sky where I should see you
Ask
why, why it should be so
I'll
cry, say that I don't know
I
don't know

Speed King
Just a few roots, replanted.
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
A particularly nasty sort of
fellow, there are lots of us.
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
Flight of the Rat
Just to remind you there are
other ways of turning on.
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 sk
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 fin
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
That
I am me
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
That
I am me
Please
stay away
Child in Time
The story of a loser - it could
be you.
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
Into the Fire
...out of the frying pan.
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
It takes all sorts - support
your local groupie.
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

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 the 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
Demon's Eye
I
don't mind just what you say.
I
never heard you, baby, never heard you anyway.
I
don't care what you do
just
so long as it ain't me and you.
Sly,
sly, sly like a demon's eye.
Everything's
good, I said, everything's fine.
You
don't know, don't know it's the end of your time.
How
does it feel to be turned away?
I've
known it, baby, almost every day.
Sly,
sly, sly like a demon's eye.
I
don't need you anymore,
I
don't want you, baby, hanging round my door.
You
slip and slide round my brain.
You
think you're so clever, yeah, but you know you're insane.
Sly,
sly, sly like a demon's eye.
I
d-d-don't mind just what you say.
I
never heard you, baby, I never heard you anyway, no I didn't.
Everything's
good, everything's fine.
You
don't know it's the end of your time.
Sly, sly, sly like the demon's eye,
like
the demon's eye.
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
the 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 singers
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?

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 could laugh maybe understand
Why
was I so cruel where is she now
Acting
like a fool I had to make her cry
Maybe

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
When
will I ever learn?
CHORUS:
I'm alone here
With emptiness eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And whispering pictures of home
Wondering
blindly
How
can they find me
Maybe
they don't even know
My
body is shaking
Anticipating
The
call of the black footed crow...
Chorus
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 thrown...
Chorus
Never Before
Somebody
Somebody
Come

My
woman that woman
Just

So

One
name two people
All
in a row
Somebody
Somebody
Someone
must go
Chorus
I was hurt when I was younger
By a woman who was cold
She took my name
She took my body
And she threw away my soul
Can't
hide I can't hide my misery
I
know my sorrow won't set me free
She
did it d'you see she did it to me
Help
me now please my friend
I
never felt so bad before
Never
never before
Smoke on the Water
We
all came 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 best place around
But
some stupid with a flare gun
Burned
the place to the ground
Smoke
on the water, fire in the sky
They
burned down the gambling house
It
died with an awful sound
Funky
Claude was running in and out
Pulling
kids out the ground
When
it all was over
We
had to find another place
But
Swiss time was running out
It
seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke
on the water, fire in the sky
We
ended up at the Grand Hotel
It
was empty cold and bare
But
with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making
our music there
With
a few red lights and a few old beds
We
make a place to sweat
No
matter what we get out of this
I
know we'll never forget
Smoke
on the water, fire in the sky
Lazy
You're
lazy just stay in bed
You're
lazy just stay in bed
You
don't want no money
You
don't want no bread
If
you're drowning you don't clutch no straw
If
you're drowning you don't clutch no straw
You
don't want to live you don't want to cry no more
Well
my trying ain't done no good
I
said my trying ain't done no good
You
don't make no effort no not like you should
Lazy
you just stay in bed
Lazy
you just stay in bed
You
don't want no money
You
don't want no bread
Space Truckin'
We
had a lot of luck on Venus
We
always had a ball on Mars
Meeting
all the groovey people
We've
rocked the Milky Way so far
We
danced around with Borealice
We're
space truckin' round the the stars
Come
on let's go Space Truckin'
Remember
when we did the moonshot
And
Pony Trekker led the way
We'd
move to the Canaveral moonstop
And
everynaut would dance and sway
We
got music in our solar system
We're
space truckin' round the stars
Come
on let's go Space Truckin'
The
fireball that we rode was moving
But
now we've got a new machine
Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah the freaks said
Man
those cats can really swing
They
got music in their solar system
They've
rocked around the Milky Way
They
dance around the Borealice
They're
Space Truckin' everyday
Come
on

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

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

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
Burn
Album released 1974
Burn
(Blackmore/Lord/Paice/Coverdale)
The
sky is red, I don't understand,
past
midnight I still see the land.
People
are sayin' the woman is damned,
she
makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The
city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The
woman's flames are reaching higher.
We
were fools, we called her liar.
All
I hear is "Burn!"
I
didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She
said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When
I leave there's no return."
The
people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning
came, no one cared.
Earth
was shakin', we stood and stared.
When
it came no one was spared.
Still
I hear "Burn!"
You
know we had no time,
we
could not even try.
You
know we had no time.
You
know we had no time,
we
could not even try.
You
know we had no time.
The
sky is red, I don't understand,
past
midnight I still see the land.
People
are sayin' the woman is damned,
she
makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning
came, no one cared.
Earth
was shakin, we stood and stared.
When
it came no one was spared.
Still
I hear "Burn!"
Might Just Take Your Life
(Blackmore/Lord/Paice/Coverdale)
I
got more than I asked for,
there
ain't nothin' I need.
I
took all till I had more,
I'm
always takin' the lead.
Old
man shakin' dice down on the street,
try'n to make a livin' somehow
but
I'm really sure about gettin' things sorted out
and
I'm gettin' ready right now.
You
can't hold me,
I
have told you.
Might
just take your life,
might
just take your life.
I've
been called by many names
and
all of them are bad.
I
can take it all the same,
it's
all I've ever had.
I've
got somethin' that you can't get
but
one thing you can see:
gettin'
there ain't easy
but
it sure was hard for me.
You
can't hold me,
I
have told you.
Might
just take your life,
might
just take your life.
Every
time I take a look
there's
someone close behind.
They
never used to make a pass,
the
things that crossed their minds.
Now
they tell me that it's all right
and
they want to be my friend.
They're
ridin' on my back.
When
is it goin' to end?
You
can't hold me,
I
have told you.
Might
just take your life,
might
just take your life,
might
just take your life.
Got
more than I asked for,
got
more than I need.
Got
more than I asked for,
got
more than I need.
Got
more than I asked for,
got
more than I need.
Lay Down Stay Down
(Blackmore/Lord/Paice/Coverdale)
I
don't care if my lady's gone
as
long as you give me just what I want.
I've
been losin' my direction,
got
to find a new connection.
You
have wasted the love I tasted,
now
I'm really gettin' hungry more and more.
Been
a long time, had a bad sign.
Tell
me what am I fighting for?
Let
me know you feel it,
you
know I really need it.
Keep
on pushin' for more,
lay
down, stay down.
I
got something to find,
there's
one thing I really need.
I'm
gonna tell you right now,
lay
down, stay down.
Lookin'
for trouble, I guess that's right.
When
I was young I was taught to fight.
It's
been long gone since I had known,
now
I'm headin' for some more.
Let
me know you feel it,
you
know I really need it.
Keep
on pushin' for more,
Lay
down, stay down.
I
got something to find,
there's
one thing I really need.
I'm
gonna tell you right now,
lay
down, stay down.
Let
me know you feel it,
you
know I really need it.
Keep
on pushin' for more,
lay
down, stay down.
I
got something to find,
there's
one thing I really need.
I'm
gonna tell you right now,
lay
down, stay down.
Sail Away
(Blackmore/Coverdale)
If
you're driftin' on an empty ocean
with
no wind to fill your sail,
the
future, your horizon,
it's
like searchin' for the Holy Grail.
You
feel there's no tomorrow
as
you look into the water below.
It's
only your reflection
and
you still ain't got no place to go.
Time
will show,
when,
I don't know.
Sail
away tomorrow,
sailin'
far away.
To
find it steal or borrow.
I'll
be there someday
Oh,
woman, I keep returnin
to
sing the same old song.
The
story's been told, now I'm gettin' old.
Tell
me,where do I belong?
Feel
like I'm goin' to surrender,
nard
times I've had enough.
If
I could find a place to hide my face,
I
believe, I could get back up.
Time
will show,
when,
I don't know.
Sail
away tomorrow,
sailin'
far away.
To
find it steal or borrow.
But
I'll be there someday
Sail
away tomorrow,
sailin'
far away.
To
find it steal or borrow.
But
I'll be there someday
Sail
away tomorrow,
sailin'
far away.
To
find it steal or borrow.
But
I'll be there someday
You Fool No One
(Blackmore/Lord/Paice/Coverdale)
You
fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone.
So
hard to see you are taking your chances with me.
If
I find you with some other man
you
know what I'm gonna do.
Better
run if you see me comin', ah.
Soon
you will fall, making mistakes like before.
When
you tell me lies I can see by the look in your eyes.
If
you think you're gonna take me for granted,
chasin' round with all you see,
gonna
make you live to regret it, ah.
You
fool no one, waiting to see if I'm gone.
So
clear to see you've had all your chances with me.
You
thought that you could take me for granted
but
I couldn't take it no more.
Better
run when you see me comin, ah.
What's Goin' on Here?
Blackmore/Lord/Paice/Coverdale)
Roll
me over slowly, I've been drinkin' all night,
help
me make a move, I can't stand the light.
Wake
me, shake me, don't slam the door.
I
ain't been so bad, I just can't recall.
Spent
the night chasin' up a listed old flame,
lyin'
on the floor I can't remember her name.
I
can't stay here, there's something wrong here.
What's
goin onhere?
Went
downtown, had a long way to go.
How
I got there, well, I don't know.
Found
myself sittin' in a west side bar,
tried
to leave but I could not go far.
High
class woman try'n to give me a line,
should
have left early when I felt so fine.
I
can't stay here, there's something wrong here.
What's
goin' on here?
When
they closed up the bar, you know, they left me for dead.
I
can't remember a thing I said.
Must
have called the police to take me away.
They
said, "Forty days", now I've got to pay.
Spent
the night chasin' up a listed old flame,
lyin'
on the floor I can't remember my name.
I
can't get together while they're messin' with me,
keep
on lookin' round, tell me where can I
be.
I
can't stay here, there's something wrong here.
What's
goin' on here?
Mistreated
(Blackmore/Coverdale)
I've
been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've
been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused
'cause
I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since
my baby left me I've been losing my mind, you know I have.
I've
been lonely, I've been cold.
I've
been looking for a woman to have and hold
'cause
I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated.
Since
my baby left me I've been losing, I've been losing,
I've
been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
I've
been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've
been looking for a woman, yeh, I've been confused
'cause
I know, yes, I know I've been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh.
Since
my baby left me I've been losing, losing,
I've
been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
Oh
oh oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.
I've
been losing my mind.

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
