Deep Purple Lyrics

Show Me lyrics - Deep Purple

Come on baby

Don't be shy

Show me, what you got there

What you got behind your back and why you're doing that

You really think you know me, are you lead free?

Well that's taken off the shine

Have you lost your freaking mind

Come on and show me

Take it easy

Before you fall into a trap and then sumpt'ns going splat

Or we could negotiate

I could raise my hat

And, baby, what you think of that?

You're on a hiding all for nothing

We're not going anywhere

Until you give a little something

If you want me, really want me

And you're putting on the pressure

Got your fingers on the treasure

You could hit me

Hmm

Knock me down with a feather

It's partic'ly nasty weather

If you take me, then you shake me

Take me down to the cleaners

There'll be nothing left between us

I could stop you in a heartbeat

That'll be appealing

'Cause I love to hear you squealing

Depends on what you're thinking

How far you want to go

Will you swim or are you sinking

It's another way of saying

You have to keep this to yourself

You never know who might be listening

And think we're up to something else

I hope you know just what you're doing

I hope you get what you desire

It all depends on what you're thinking

Will you swim or are you sinking

A Bit On The Side lyrics - Deep Purple

You just arrived in the city, Charlene

Now you're working the underground scene

You've been getting bolder

Now you're leaning on my shoulder

I can guess how you want things to be

Climbing up this old money tree

Well, that won't do it for you or me

No, no

I don't want no left or right

I want up-n-down

And a little bit o' lovin' on the side

Well, it's none of my business, Charlene

Though I couldn't help but notice, my darlin'

The make-up don't quite cover up the early evening shadow

On your enigmatic jawline, Charlene

I have to say it's all right by me

I don't care which way you lean

But I don't want no left or right

I want front-n-back

And a little bit o' lovin' on the side

It made me pause to consider, Charlene

You may not be much different to me

You got to earn a living

With the tools that you were given

Don't we all?

If you see what I mean

Everybody follows a dream

But to beat the street, huh... we've got to eat, or so it seems

I don't want no left or right

I want in-n-out

And a little bit o' lovin' on the side

I have to say it's all right by me

I don't care which way you lean

To beat the street, huh... we've got to eat, or so it seems

I don't want no left or right

I want in-n-out

Back-n-front

Up-n-down

Oh, oh

And a little bit o' lovin' on the side

Sharp Shooter lyrics - Deep Purple

You're just another sharp shooter, got your finger on the trigger

You're aiming at this big head of mine

And from there you can't miss, the only trouble is I have to put you, put you in line

Take a shot in the dark, oh yeah

It's just a walk in the park

Oh, you're my baby-faced assassin with your weapons of seduction

You'll get me sooner or not

And there's a lot gone before you

I can certainly assure you

Your hand's too shaky for the job

Oh yeah

Take a shot in the dark

It's just a walk in the park

My hands behind my back

Unarmed, we're face to face

You won't get a second chance

I got friends in low places

You got your mind on other things

Wonderin' where to place your skills

I'm your man in case you're wondering

Oh, go ahead, go for the kill

And take a shot in the dark

It's just a walk in the park

I'm an old bushwhacker

Yodelling up the canyon

I'll getcha, you better believe

Behaving with abandon, got some tricks of my own

I'll keep them hid up my sleeve

So take a shot in the dark

It's just a walk in the park

Take a shot in the dark

It's just a walk in the park

Oh yeah

Portable Door lyrics - Deep Purple

When it came to me one day in Jerksville

Man, I was right on the edge

That jacket's too small for a man of your size

And those socks are too big for your head

My eyes glaze at whatever you say

But I'm listening, do tell me more

It goes under the bridge, right over my head

And out through my portable door

I was trapped in a dire situation

Between reason and someone-in-law

The winner takes all and runs off with the ball

Nothing could pleasure me more

Times were, I'd have spoken my piece

For a minute or two held the floor

But I can't get a word in so here I am hurtling

Right out through my portable door

The jabbering's hurting my brain cell so bad

For once in my life I am bored

The public house beckons, I follow the call

And slip in through my portable door

The unlikely event came upon me

I wasn't prepared for the shock

Once round my neck and twice round the deck

And the rest disappeared up the block

So here we are and everything's changed

Faster than ever before

You gotta be jokin', man what are you smoking

Blow it out through my portable door

Old-Fangled Thing lyrics - Deep Purple

It was a hot steamy night

I was drinking on my own

Just me and my guitar

The bar was empty

Except for the regular few

Then along came you

Well, that sounds familiar

Uh uh, it's early days, unfinished tune, y'know how it is

Going nowhere up until now

I was dickin' around

Trying something new

Then along came you

You track me like a lover breathing down my neck

Tingle touching as I shiver in the heat

You're so serene and now I'm the living wreck

The melody is hot and the message so sweet

Sweet and spicy

It's feeling good man, it has that golden ring

That, that'll do nicely, something I can sing

I can get it down with this old fangled thing

Why does your eraser have a handle so long?

It's for the lead in my pencil man, I got to keep it sharp

Knock it into shape, I can't go wrong

But even then, when I'm done, here comes another part

You track me like a lover breathing down my neck, yeah

Tingle touching as I shiver in the heat

You're so serene and now I'm a living wreck

The melody is hot and the message so sweet

If I Were You lyrics - Deep Purple

You hit me where it hurt

Left me face down in the dirt

You hit me with a cheap shot

Took me down, never gave it a thought

I never saw it coming especially from you

Right out of the blue

If I were you

And now you want to make up

Put aside this little shake up

I don't know what else there is to say

It all belongs to yesterday

Love and betrayal are not the best of friends

Getting back with you is the last thing on my mind

Without that feeling it goes against the grain

It can never be the same again

If I were you

I'll think of something

When my blood runs cool

Love and betrayal are not the best of friends

Getting back with you is the last thing on my mind

Without that feeling it goes against the grain

It can never be the same again

If I were you

I'll think of something

When my blood runs cool

If I were you

Pictures Of You lyrics - Deep Purple

I'm pickin' up a new vibe

It's nothing too much

Antenna says I may be losing my touch

I'm hanging round a bee-hive

Feeling the buzz

It's hard to explain let's say it's simply because

I like the rough

Much more than these smooth

Pictures of you

They're too good to be true

So I'm trusting my eyes again

These cameras never lie

Giving up a day job

Working at night

You're looking so fine in that cool amber light

You're running with a new mob

Working the crowd

The final result? Oh should make you proud

Forgive me asking, I can't help saying

But what you got there, the price you're paying

In the light of day, what do I see

For what it's worth, seems no better to me

These pictures of you

Are too good to be true

I'm using my eyes again

These cameras never lie

You got it, you're down and dirty

You're made for pleasure

The frame is frozen, you watch the birdie

You're made to measure

Ah-ah, look at you now

Oh-oh, stand out in a crowd

The real you showing up on your face

Your hair is blowing all over the place

Ha-ha-ha-ha

Smooth pictures of you

Are too good to be true

So I'm trusting my eyes again

These cameras never lie

I'm Saying Nothin' lyrics - Deep Purple

I'm saying nothin'

I'm walking small

You get the picture, those shifting eyes could tell it all

I've been too easy, for too many years

Ain't been so dumb, since I was wet behind the ears

So now my lips are sealed

I could never reveal

Just where I buried the gold

And the bodies that never grew old

I'm saying nothin'

I'm keeping schtum

I know what's going on behind a closed door, in a darkened room

I'm saying nothin'

Nothing at all

You'll hear no rumours, with your ear to the whispering wall

So now my lips are sealed

I could never reveal

What lies deep in my cave

The secret goes to my grave

Oh-oh-oh

The perfect crime

Is a work of art

Locked in a safe place

And that breaks my heart

Nothing to share, that wouldn't be too smart

Now my lips are sealed

I could never, ever reveal

Just where I buried the gold

And the bodies that never grew old

Oh-oh-oh

Whoa, I'm saying nothin'

I'm saying nothin' baby, nothin' at all

I'm saying nothin'

My lips are sealed

I'm saying nothin' at all

Lazy Sod lyrics - Deep Purple

Oh yeah

Mhh, something burning

You know the world's on fire

And I can't get my ass out of bed

The world is on fire

There's smoke all around my head

What was I thinking about when I crashed last night...

The oceans are rising

And I can't do a thing about that

So it's hardly surprising

I built an ark for me and my sleek black cat, man

What was I thinking about when I crashed last night...

Oh yes, turn off the gas and don't forget to switch off the light

But that's all right coz I'm a lazy sod and I'm hot, oh yeah

Don't mind me coz I'm a lazy sod

You can like it or not

I'm guessing not, oh

What was I thinking about when I crashed last night...

Oh yes, turn off the gas and don't forget to switch off the light

That's all right coz I'm a lazy sod and I'm hot, so hot, yeah

Don't mind me coz I'm a lazy sod

Whether you like it, like it or not, oh

And I'm guessing not baby

Oh, no

So fucking what, oh

Now You're Talkin' lyrics - Deep Purple

Some are in the garden with a bottle of Chardonnay, pinkies up in the air

We steppin' over the gruesome twosome, still making out on the stairs

There's a whole load of bodies, kinda hard to tell

Could be a menage-a-many from hell

And I don't know who's doing what to whom, but surely they are doing it well

Whatever does you good

Lifts your skirt

Gets you done

Unbuttons your shirt

Wakes you up

Turns your head

Hits the spot

That guy from the dealership he can't be still, he's bouncing up and down all the time

Luvvies in the kitchen, full of virtue and compassion, you hear that righteous whine

A bunch a freaking eejits swivelling on their digits, dumber than the average bear

OMFG the state of me, man, whatever happened to my hair

Whatever does you good

Lifts your skirt

Gets you done

Unbuttons your shirt

Wakes you up

Turns your head

Hits the spot

Well, now you're talkin'

Ring-tone Joe is gazing in the bowl, he's deep-arm fishing for his phone

Renee is full of guilt, she's had it up to the hilt, but it's far too soon to go home

The neighbours are screaming and banging on the wall, our music is not to their taste

This thing'll end badly if it ends at all, man, the place is getting laid to waste

Whatever does you good

Lifts your skirt

Gets you done

Unbuttons your shirt

Wakes you up

Turns your head

Hits the spot

Now you're talkin'

No Money To Burn lyrics - Deep Purple

I hear a blackbird sing

I feel a scorpion sting

Whatever gets to me first

It's what it is, man, it could be worse

Dig up a treasure chest

Step in a hornets' nest

Whatever gets to me first

Well, that's alright, I've had worse

I got no money

I got no cash

I got no moolah

I got no stash

Lost my deposit

I never learn

I got no money to burn

I live my life on the run

Under a burning sun

A man could die of thirst

Now, that's a curse

Couldn't be much worse

I got no money

I got no cash

I got no moolah

I got no stash

Lost my deposit

I never learn

I got no money to burn

I hear a church bell ring

Commit a cardinal sin

Whatever gets to me first

Well that's all right, it could be worse

I'll Catch You lyrics - Deep Purple

I guess that it's to be expected

When I have to talk this way

When I have to speak in tongues

I want to say what can't be said

I have to keep a straight face

When I'm breaking up inside

If you know who, knew what I thought

Then we'd both be crucified

I dream about you every night

But you're just beyond my reach

So now you never know my touch

And we shall never meet

Mother nature's keeping her socks on

Father time's gonna be late

Ships at night are passing silently

And our love will have to wait

My bags are always ready

My keys are in the car

Anytime you want to jump

I'll catch you in my arms

Yes, I'll catch you in my arms

I'll catch you in my arms

Anytime, anytime, anytime you want to jump

I'll catch you in my arms

Bleeding Obvious lyrics - Deep Purple

It started off so easy and now it's clear as mud

Your life is complicated and I'd help you if I could

Time is slipping by you know and things are moving fast

You've got a long wait ahead my friend, if you save the best for last

It's bleeding obvious

What a thing to say

Don't mind the rest of us

Have it your own way

You raise your voice to make your point and I'm trying to get some sleep

I said man it's all right by me, but you're getting in way too deep

I got it all the first time 'round so turn it down, give it a rest

It's not that complicated and I know what's coming next

It's all so obvious

You shouldn't be surprised

But I find it curious

They don't have it in your size

I have forgotten where we started

'Cause somewhere along the line

The salient point departed

And parked itself in a back street

In a lonely part of town

It was lost in the fog of time

You started so well

Then went off on a trip around the world

Everywhere under the sun

If you ever return

We'll see if you learned

That it all adds up to one

I know you think I'm stupid but you got to give me time

I'm sitting with my hand up but you send me to the back of the line

I hear you but it's all too much for the likes of little old me

You say this and that and who knows what, it's so hard to believe

It's bleeding obvious

If what you're trying to say's

The same as all the rest of us

In quite another way

7 And 7 Is lyrics - Deep Purple

When I was a boy I thought about the times I'd be a man

I'd sit inside a bottle and pretend that I was in the can

But here in my lonely room I'd sit my mind in an ice cream cone

You can throw me if you wanna 'cause I'm a bone and I go

Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!

Well if I don't start crying it's because that I have got no eyes

My father's in the fireplace and my dog lies hypnotized

Through a crack of light I was unable to find my way

Trapped inside a night but I'm a day and I go

Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!

Rockin' Pneumonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu lyrics - Deep Purple

(originally by Huey "Piano" Smith)

I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall

I wanna holler but the joint's too small

Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got-a rockin' pneumonia

And-a boogie woogie flu

Want some lovin', baby, that ain't all

I wanna kiss her but she's way's too tall

Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got-a rockin' pneumonia

And-a boogie woogie flu

I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low

I would be runnin' but my feet's too slow

Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got-a rockin' pneumonia

And-a boogie woogie flu

I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low

I would be runnin' but my feet's too slow

Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got-a rockin' pneumonia

And-a boogie woogie flu

Baby comin' now, I'm hurryin' home

I know she's leavin' 'cause I'm takin' too long

Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got-a rockin' pneumonia

And-a boogie woogie flu

'Cause some lovin', baby, that ain't all

I wanna kiss her but she's way's too tall

Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got-a rockin' pneumonia

And-a boogie woogie flu

I wanna jump, oh yeah

I wanna holler, yeah

I wanna squeeze, oh yeah

Alright

Oh Well lyrics - Deep Purple

I can't help about the shape I'm in

I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

But don't ask me what I think of you

I might not give the answer that you want me to

Oh well

Now, when I talked to God I knew He'd understand

He said, "Stick by me, I'll be your guiding hand

But don't ask me what I think of you

I might not give the answer that you want me to"

Oh well

I can't help about the shape I'm in

I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

But don't ask me what I think of you

I might not give the answer that you want me to

Oh well

Jenny Take A Ride! lyrics - Deep Purple

(originally by Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels)

Oh see, C. C. Rider

I said see, what you have done now

Oh see, C. C. Rider

I said see, what you have done now

Ahh, you made me love you

Now, now, now, now your man has gone

Oh, I'm going with my baby

Ah, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, won't you come along with me

(Jenny, Jenny, woo, Jenny, Jenny)

Spinnin', spinnin', spinnin', spinnin' like a spinnin' top

(Spinnin', Spinnin, woo, Spinnin, Spinnin)

Spinnin', spinnin', spinnin', spinnin' like a spinnin' top

(Spinnin, Spinnin, woo, Spinnin, Spinnin)

Come along, baby, don't want you to stop

Watching The River Flow lyrics - Deep Purple

(originally by Bob Dylan)

What's the matter with me

I don't have much to say

Daylight sneakin' through the window

I'm still in this all-night cafe

Walkin' to and fro beneath the moon

Out where the trucks are rollin' slow

To sit down on this bank of sand

And watch the river flow

Wish I was back in the city

Instead of this old bank of sand

With the sun beating down on the chimney tops

And the one I love so close at hand

If I had wings and I could fly

I know where I would go

But right now I'll just sit here contentedly

And watch the river flow

People disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah

Makes you wonder why

Oh yesterday I saw someone on the street

Who just couldn't help but cry

Oh, this ol' river keeps on rollin', though

Whatever way the wind does blow

I just sit here

And watch the river flow

And people disagreeing on all just about everything, yeah

Makes you wanna stop and read a book

Only yesterday I saw someone on the street

Who was really shook

Oh, this ol' river keeps on rollin', though

Whatever way the wind does blow

As long as it does I'll just sit here

And watch the river flow

Yes as long as it does I'll just sit here

And watch the river flow

Let The Good Times Roll lyrics - Deep Purple

(originally by Louis Jordan)

Hey, everybody, let's have some fun

You only live but once

And when you're dead you're done, so

Let the good time roll, I said let the good time roll

I don't care if you're young or old

Get together, let the good time roll

Don't sit there mumblin', talkin' trash

If you wanna have a ball

Get out and spend some cash, and

Let the good time roll, I'm talking about the good time

It make no difference if you're young or old

Let the good time roll

Oh yeah

Why don't tell everybody

Rocket's back in town

I got a dollar and a ring in the clock

Don't let nobody play me cheap

I got fifty cents more than I'm ever gonna keep, so

Let the good time roll, let the good time roll

Make no difference if you're young or old

Let the good time roll

No matter whether rainy weather

You wanna have a ball you gotta get yourself together

Let the good time roll

Dixie Chicken lyrics - Deep Purple

(originally by Little Feat)

I've seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel

And underneath a street lamp I met a Southern Belle

Well, she took me to the river where she casts her spell

And in that southern moonlight, she sang the song so well

If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb

And we can walk together down in Dixieland

Down in Dixieland

Well, we made all the hot spots, my money flowed like wine

Then that lowdown southern whiskey began to fog my mind

And I don't remember church bells or the money I put down

On the white picket fence and boardwalk of the house at the edge of town

But boy do I remember the strain of her refrain

And the nights we spent together, and the way she called my name

If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb

And we can walk together down in Dixieland

Down in Dixieland

Well, it's been a year since she ran away, guess that banjo player sure could play

She always liked to sing along, she's handy with a song

Then one night in the lobby of the Commodore Hotel

I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well

And as he handed me a drink, he began to hum a song

And all the boys there at the bar began to sing along

If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb

And we can walk together down in Dixieland

Down in Dixieland

Shapes Of Things lyrics - Deep Purple

(originally by The Yardbirds)

Shapes of things before my eyes

Just teach me to despise

Will time make men more wise?

Here within my lonely frame

My eyes just heard my brain

But will it seem the same?

Come tomorrow, will I be older?

Come tomorrow, may be a soldier

Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?

Now the trees are almost green

But will they still be seen

When time and tide have been?

Fallin′ into your passing hands

Please don't destroy these lands

Don′t make them desert sands

Come tomorrow, will I be older?

Come tomorrow, may be a soldier

Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?

Come tomorrow, will I be older?

Come tomorrow, may be a soldier

The Battle Of New Orleans lyrics - Deep Purple

(originally by Johnny Horton)

Well, in 1814 we took a little trip

Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip

We took a little bacon and we took a little beans

We met the bloody British in a town in New Orleans

We fired our guns and the British kep a-comin'

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they begin to runnin'

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We looked down a river

And we see'd the British come

And there must have been a hundred of'em

Beatin' on the drums

They stepped so high

And they made their bugles ring

We stood beside our cotton bales

And didn't say a thing

We fired our guns and the British kep a-comin'

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they begin to runnin'

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise

If we didn't fire our muskets

'Till we looked 'em in the eyes

We held our fire

'Till we see'd their faces well

Then we opened up our squirrel guns

And really gave 'em - well we

Fired our guns and the British kep a-comin'

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they begin to runnin'

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Yeah, they ran through the briars

And they ran through the brambles

And they ran through the bushes

Where the rabbit couldn't go

They ran so fast

That the hounds couldn't catch 'em

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down

So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round

We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind

And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind

Yeah, they ran through the briars

And they ran through the brambles

And they ran through the bushes

Where the rabbit couldn't go

They ran so fast

That the hounds couldn't catch 'em

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We fired our guns and the British kep a-comin'

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they begin to runnin'

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

To the Gulf of Mexico

Lucifer lyrics - Deep Purple

(originally by Bob Seger)

We're cruisin' on the grey snakes till my dyin' day

Checkin' all the hen houses out along the way

Wastin' time, drinkin' wine

Life is short and I ain't lyin'

Livin' all I can through every day

You can call me Lucifer

If you think you should

I know I'm good

Every night I'm barrelhousin' till the moon is low

Shoutin' blues and payin' dues and throwin' way my dough

Ramblin', gamblin', lovin', shovin', probably won't end up with nothin'

At least I'll reap the seeds I sow

You can call me Lucifer

If you think you should

I know I'm good

Funky water farmers daughter gonna make the law

Lucy Blue, Chicago Green, I'll love 'em till they thaw

Courtin' all the lovely foxes, brunette, redheads, goldilocks

Takin' time to grind my crosscut saw

You can call me Lucifer

If you think you should

Now I know I'm good

White Room lyrics - Deep Purple

(originally by Cream)

In a white room with black curtains near the station

Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings

Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes

Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines

Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

You said no strings could secure you at the station

Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows

I walked into such a sad time at the station

And as I walked out, felt my own need just beginning

I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back

Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd

Consolation for the old wound now forgotten

Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes

She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd

Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

Caught In The Act lyrics - Deep Purple

(originally by Freddie King / The Spencer Davis Group / The Yardbirds / The Allman Brothers Band / Booker T. & The MG's)

Down, down, down, down

Well my temperature is rising

And my feet on on the floor

Crazy people knocking

Cause I wanna sell some more

Let me in baby, cause I don't know what you got

But you better take it easy cause this place is so hot

And I'm

So glad we made it

I want you to

Gimme some lovin

Gimme some lovin everyday

Well I feel so good everything is getting hot

You better take some time cause this place is on fire

You better start baby, cause I have too much to do

We made it baby and it happened to you

And I'm

So glad we made it

I want you to

Gimme some lovin everyday

Gimme some lovin every night

Throw My Bones lyrics - Deep Purple

I don't know what lies ahead

It's all a mystery man, I heard it said

You do your thing, you do your best

I take a guess at what happen next

All I've got is what I need

And that's enough, as far as I can see

Why should I walk into the great unknown

When I can sit here, and throw my bones

I hear the future is so divine

But I'll just wait until I get a sign

'Cause what I've got here, what I'm holding in my hand

Is better for me than some promised land

All I've got is what I need

And that's enough, as far as I can see

Why should I walk into the great unknown

When I can sit here and throw my bones

What's the rush, who's to say?

You can't escape tomorrow, it's another day

I'm hanging here, I'm here on solid ground

'Cause heaven's full, or closing down

All I've got is what I need

And that's enough, as far as I can see

Why should I walk into the great unknown

When I can sit here and throw my bones

Oh yeah

Drop The Weapon lyrics - Deep Purple

Everybody shouting, working up a sweat

Stepping over lines, you know what happened next

More trouble, than anyone can use

It's a pre-determined thing, you lose your right to choose

No way to turn it around

You got no more time, no time to calm yourself down

Once you press the button man it's coming to a head

Pretty soon babe you'll be a long time dead

Little brother I'm telling you now

Your pride can take a hit

Little brother take a deep breath

Cool off man, forget about it

Drop the weapon

Kick it away

Drop your gun

Look the other way

Drop the weapon

Live another day

Drop your blade

Listen, to what I say

Who you trying to impress, you making a bid

To be a big shot brother, but you're just a small kid

Now your reputation got a minor stain

It'll be washed away by tomorrow's rain

Little brother I'm telling you now

Your pride can take a hit

Little brother take a deep breath

Cool off man, forget about it

Drop the weapon

Kick it away

Drop your gun

Look the other way

Drop the weapon

Live another day

Drop your blade

Listen, to what I say

No sound of silence

Just streets of violence

We're in overload

Wrong side of the road

Oh San Francisco

Where the hell did you go

We have enough of that

Peace and love

Drop the weapon

Kick it away

Drop your gun

Look the other way

Drop the weapon

Live another day

Drop your blade

Listen, to what I say

No sound of silence

Just streets of violence

We're in overload

Wrong side of the road

Oh San Francisco

Where the hell did you go

We have enough of that

Peace and love

Come and hold my hand

Then we can all stand

And say a prayer

To someone out there

Anyone out there

We're All The Same In The Dark lyrics - Deep Purple

Baby won't you be my friend?

And love me right until the end

I don't care what shape you're in

What you've done or where you've been

I've got nothing to hide from you

We can sit and talk about the past

We don't need to tell the truth

To tell the truth now

We're all the same in the dark

Baby won't you be my friend?

And love me right until the end

I guess we'll never know

What happened down in Mexico

Like what I see, I like the view

We can stay as long as it lasts

There's no difference 'tween me and you

To tell the truth now

We're all the same in the dark

I don't need to see a doctor

I know exactly who I am

I'm just like you

Baby won't you be my friend?

And love me right until the end

You know, that fashion come and fashion go

Melting like the summer snow

I don't know what you see in me

Some would say that we're miles apart

But when everything is said and done, and the lights go down

We're all the same, we're all the same in the dark

Nothing At All lyrics - Deep Purple

I'm talking to myself again

And waving to a passing friend

I've known her since I don't know when

Ah, it's nothing at all

Just a few of us walk arm in arm

It's innocent and charming

But the children seem to be getting alarmed

Don't worry kids, it's nothing at all

When I hear about the doom and gloom

That's around the corner, and coming soon

I take a sip of mother's ruin

And sit with my back to the wall

It's nothing at all

Nothing at all

And the old lady smiled

It's nothing at all

Then she blew all the leaves off my tree

And the junk that sails our seven seas

Is very nearly up to my knees

But the platitudes and pleasantries

Keep saying it's nothing at all

I'll deal with it on another day

If I close my eyes it'll go away

So, bottoms up boys, and what do you say?

Really, it's nothing at all

It's nothing at all

Nothing at all

And the old lady smiled

It's nothing at all

And the summer passed away

Nothing at all

It's nothing at all

And the old lady smiled

It was nothing at all

Then she blew all the leaves off my tree

No Need To Shout lyrics - Deep Purple

You stand there on your soapbox without fear

Like a chanting wild demented auctioneer

It's just a bunch of crap

You're talking out your hat

And, I don't want you chewing off my ear

(No need to shout)

I'm hearing what you say

(No need to shout)

Just shut your mouth and go away

You preach to the converted, it's insane

We're here already swinging like a train

I can only hope, that you won't

Ram it down my throat

Don't make me swallow it again

(No need to shout)

Alright, I'm hearing what you say

(No need to shout)

No, no just shut your mouth and go away

Your manifesto, stuffed inside your suitcase

Blah, blah, blah you're never wrong

And even when you're stooping, tying up your shoelace

You keep droning on and on and on and on

I got your message loud and clear

The meaningless is ringing in my ear

Oh, what a bunch of trash

You got exuding from your ass

That's not the shit I want to hear

(No need to shout)

No need to shout

Man, I'm hearing what you say

(No need to shout)

No, no, wrap it up

On your way

(No need to shout)

Woo-ooh-ooh (No need to shout)

No, no just shut your mouth and go away

Step By Step lyrics - Deep Purple

Step by step

Rattle through the night

Don't look now

There's no end in sight

Step by step

Moving on, through the graveyard shift

No way out

That's the truth, 'bout the size of it

Inch by inch

Shuffle through the heat

Stay in time

Don't you miss a beat

Inch by inch

Stay in line never dance alone

Stand close

Holding on to a bag of bones

Worming your way into my life

Little by little we're getting too tight

Taking me over and stealing my soul

Oh oh, stealing my soul

Step by step

What The What lyrics - Deep Purple

We goin' out tomorrow, gonna do it right

Celebrate the fact that we're still alive

In that case, we better make it tonight

I'll drink for us all and you can drive

My mojo working, I paid my dues

I'm gonna break out my dancing shoes

I'm gonna do what I do best

I'm gonna spend my money till there's nothing left

So bad

I've been so bad

What the what happened to you last night?

Every bar in London had an old Joanna

And cats who could play rock and roll piano

No one cared a few teeth gone missing

Everybody got up to sing

Five string guitars and old skin drums

On a river boat shuffle, bunch-a drunken bums

No way of knowing when the temperature dropped

The moment was hot, there was no time to stop

So bad

We were so bad

We been so bad

What the what happened to you last night?

Long, tall, Sally and short, fat, Dave

Arms and legs going every-ways

They didn't care about shape or size

The fever of love was in their eyes

Called every bad name under the sun

They did the same to us, we was just having fun

He went up and she went down

It didn't really matter, they just went to town

So bad

They were so bad

They been so bad

What the what happened to you last night?

I was so bad

I been so bad

What the what happened to you last night?

The Long Way Round lyrics - Deep Purple

You can't get me down

I got the "Things are looking up" blues

I know it happens

But it never sticks to my shoes

It's been a long time coming

I never thought it would last

I think about the future

Who knows what might have happened in the past?

And nothing is real

But it feels pretty good all the same

I know you from somewhere

But I can't remember your name

I don't need much space

But you don't have to step on my toes

I was looking over there

And all the time it was under my nose

I should have known

Which way the wind was blowin'

I was facing the wrong way

Always taking the long way round

Never looking the right way

Always going the wrong way

Always taking the long way round

Never looking the right way

Always going the wrong way

Always taking the long way round

You can reel me in slowly and surely

But there's a catch to this deal

It's not over yet

I get one more spin of the wheel

I promised myself

I would not get trashed again

But the way I'm feeling right now

That promise is going down the drain, yeah

I should have known

You were coming and I was gone

I was facing the wrong way

Always taking the long way round

The Power Of The Moon lyrics - Deep Purple

Who am I to say things may not all be what they seem?

And how can I disturb the facts of life?

And who am I to speak about the fabric of a dream?

And who's to say that dreams cannot be right?

It's the power of the moon

The power

Who am I to talk about the lunacy at hand?

Burnishing the madness in my head

And who am I to mention that before it all began

Everything I heard was never said at all?

It's the power of the moon

The power

Ah, it's a green balloon that travels so benign

On a path that goes along the shoreline

Ah, it's a green balloon that travels so benign

It's the only thing that's keeping me in line

Oh, the tides will rise and then they fall on time

And everything on earth begins to rhyme

Remission Possible lyrics - Deep Purple

(Instrumental)

Man Alive lyrics - Deep Purple

Sun sets in the West

The boy has gone to rest

Mama clutch her breast

All creatures great and small

Graze on blood red soil

And grass that grows on city streets

It's been a quiet town

Since the juice went down

Now something's washed up on the beach

A man alive

After some thousands of years

Fewer than the smallest imaginable intake of breath

The wisest guys in the evolution of humanity became extinct

Mother Nature loves a vacuum

And so, the earth was cleansed

In no time at all

All creatures great and small

Graze on blood red soil

And grass that grows on city streets

It's been a quiet town

Until the word got round

And something washed up on the beach

A man alive

A man alone

Washed up on the beach

Just a man

Whoosh

And The Address lyrics - Deep Purple

(Instrumental)

Dancing In My Sleep lyrics - Deep Purple

I'm flying through the night

To the rhythm of the street

I don't know what happened, baby

But my blood rise every time we meet

I come alive

I get the feeling everything will be alright

Lights are pure magenta

There's something going down

I don't know what happened, babe

I'm in the right place, my feet don't touch the ground

To my surprise

I'm all alone

Dancing in my sleep

Oh-yeah, dancing in my sleep

Don't you love my fancy footwork

I ain't no Fred Astaire

I can tap into your life, babe

I can take you anywhere

I come alive

Oh, yes I do

I get the feeling (Ahh-ha-ahh)

I come alive (Oh-whoa)

And when I get the feeling, I'm dancing in my sleep

Dancing in my sleep

I'm dancing in my sleep

Strange Kind Of Woman lyrics - Deep Purple

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 got to be near you

I spent my money as I took my turn

I want you, I need you, I got to 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"

I want you, I need you, I got to be near you

I spent my money as I took my turn

I want you, I need you, I got to be near you

Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

She's my soul, I love you

I want you, I need you, I got to be near you

I spent my money as I took my turn

I want you, I need you, I got to be near you

Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

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 got to be near you

I spent my money as I took my turn

I want you, I need you, I got to be near you

Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

Who do you think you are?

Superstar

Who do you think you are?

Superstar

Who do we think we are?

Oh my soul, I love you baby

Time For Bedlam lyrics - Deep Purple

Descending the cold steps of the institution for the politically insane
Never to be seen again
Saying farewell to daylight
From henceforth I shall rot in a stinking bed of wet straw

Right from the ashes of life I learned to behave
What to believe, what not to say, from cradle to grave
Ah..... like a good little slave

Sucking my milk from the venomous tit of the state
This clearly designed to suppress every thought of escape
Ah..... I surrender to fate

No pity, no pity
Don't want no pity for me in this filthy ceil
I'll see you in hell
See you in hell

Frozen in time, I'm a specimen pinned to my throne
With an army of butterflies pilloried placid and prone
Ah..... we were never alone

No pity, no pity
Don't want no pity for me in this filthy ceil
I'll see you in hell

After centuries of living with nothing but my convictions
Broken fingers clawing through the walls of my incarceration
Escaping the clutches of eternal damnation
I was justified

Hip Boots lyrics - Deep Purple

You can bury me up to my knees in shit
Or anything else... I don't mind a bit
You think I'm gonna drown but you're wrong
'Cos man I got my hip boots on

Get your ass in the water and swim like me
It's the only way you're going free
If you blink an eye I'm down the road and gone
It's plain to see that I don't belong

I got my hip boots on
And it's so cool
It's beautiful

Those rusty chains can't tie me down
'Cos man I got my hip boots on

I never give it up
Tear it up
Rip it up
Can't get enough
Oh yeah...

Before that shit starts going down
When I hear the dogs I go to ground
That's me high steppin' through the swamp
That's why I got these hip boots on

I got my hip boots on
It's so cool
It's beautiful
And it's so cool

All I Got Is You lyrics - Deep Purple

Oh yeah, I see the way you roll your eyes, the way your purse your lips
Throw your stuff into a suitcase, put your hands upon your hips
I'm not moved by your evil glare, the way you toss your hair
You make stupid accusations by which time I've lost the thread

Sometimes I wonder how it is you get to piss me off this much
I may be heavier handed and I like the tender touch
You moan and groan about me staying out and drinking with the guys
I bet I bring them home try this one for size

Something awfully wrong with this deal babe
Any fool could see its true
Can't you understand how I feel babe
You got me, but all I got is you

I guess I just don't have it in me, to keep you satisfied
To be honest with you babe, I'm only in it for the ride
And you may never bring yourself to take me as I am
But in case you hadn't noticed, I don't give a fucking damn!

One Night In Vegas lyrics - Deep Purple

Ooh what a night it was, the night I fell apart
I begged a lover not to go away but she went and broke my heart
I found myself in a Vegas bar with a whole new set of friends
Seen through the bottom of an empty glass
Like looking through a fisheye lens
One night in Vegas

It was a morning of revenge for what I did the night before
Which accompanied me to the following day to even up the score
In a stone cold sober mood next afternoon at ten
I found my tongue back in my mouth
And I told myself not to drink again
One night in Vegas

I was three sheets to the wind
The three shots did me in
Three angels there above me
As I was lying on the floor
I knew I should have run for the hills
But I still wanted more

I don't remember the chapel but I woke up with a wife
I looked at her, she looked at me and now we're hooked for life
How strange the situation, it's now been thirty years
Since I met that girl in Vegas
And would you believe it, she's still here
One night in Vegas
Oh yeah I gotta tell you, one night in Vegas

Get Me Outta Here lyrics - Deep Purple

Well I'm out of work, out of hope
I got mouths to feed and I'm stony broke
The rum's all gone and I could sure use a smoke

I can't help thinking how it used to be
Everybody danced 'til a quarter to three
Living on the wild side, getting our kicks
How'd I ever end up in a place like this? Oh...
Get me out of here
Somebody get me outta here

Three blind bastards parked on a bench
One said to the other hey who's your friend
That's how it started way back when

A shit-load of ways to communicate
One hates love, another loves hate
Now you're gonna tell me there's no end in sight
Next thing you know we're getting ready to fight, oh...
Get me out of here
Get me outta here

I got to tell you that I'm feeling rough
Been good to know you but I've had enough
You say pull yourself together and get a grip
You can stick it up your jacksie 'cos I'm jumping ship, oh...
Get me out of here

The Surprising lyrics - Deep Purple

It wasn't quite the curse of Tutankhamen
Or the kiss of death from Judas in the night
And it felt so far beyond the blue horizon
Tempting me with transports of delight
And when the devil took my hand and said
Come along with me

There I was, wide awake and dreaming
Reaching out for something in the sky
But I could not control that trembling feeling
Everything I want is slipping by
And when the devil took my hand and said
Something you should see

I never knew what happened to my nightmare
Everything went dark that August day
And the eclipse was on the other side of somewhere
But I was on the upside of afraid
And then an angel took my hand and said
Come along with me

Johnny's Band lyrics - Deep Purple

Johnny Jones woke up one day from dreaming
Told Bill the bass and soon they had a plan
He passed it on to Pete and Crazy Benny
Ah, suddenly they had a band

Hey Johnny's Band
He sure knew how to work up a crowd
The sound that they made put the rest in the shade
And the word soon got around

They played every dance hall in the city
Wrote themselves a cool forty-five
With a bullet it shot to the top of the pops
Oh man it was good to be alive

Hail Johnny's Band
Hear them on the radio
Smash after smash now they're rolling in the cash
Whatever they touch turns to gold

Benny went down with the hard stuff
And Pete joined a cult in LA
Johnny and Bill started going downhill
And the crowds began melting away

But hey, it's Johnny's Band
Playing Saturday nights at The Crown
The beards may be long and the money's long gone
It's a wonder that they're still around

But hey, it's Johnny's Band
Playing all those wonderful songs
Making the rounds with that old fashioned sound
And here we are singing along

On Top Of The World lyrics - Deep Purple

Hot summer night, the working girls were on their way back home
It was getting late so I tagged along, couldn't let them walk alone
I followed them up some greasy steps to a rooftop in the sky
No walls around just a sea of stars, my throat was getting dry

Everyone could feel the heat that's why we all disrobed
Our clothes and inhibitions went off flying 'cross the globe
Dancing crazy getting loose and closer to the edge
I could feel my blood was up and it was pounding in my head

So there I was, just me and the girls
Under the moonlight on top of the world

So there I was, just me and the girls
Under the moonlight on top of the world

As things were dying down we retreated from the precipice
I lay beside the most beautiful girl in the universe
Her name was Venus in Heaven
She fed me rice and offered me wine
I accepted ambrosia and nectar
From an amber goddess
I collapsed between the thighs of Morpheus
Next thing I felt was a sharp pain of sunrise
My mouth was open and full of rice
As I managed to prize open one of my eyes
I saw Luigi the cockroach carry off his prize
And there lay Venus still sprawled out and naked for sure
But not quite what she was the night before
I made my excuses and left through the door
Stepped into space at the twentieth floor
And that's why I don't like heights no more

Birds Of Prey lyrics - Deep Purple

Alarm bells ringing clear
Break the calm before the fall
Bad news travels at the speed of flight
Good news not at all
And here we are again
Playing endless games of war
Birds of prey

Without a word of warning
We dive in to attack
Vengeful and self-righteous
We turn the blue sky black
And a wretched few escape
They'll be forever looking back
At our sacrifice

And the golden sun is rising
At the dawn of a beautiful day

In the name of all that's holy
In the name of history
In the face of life and nature
We are driven by belief
Our faith a crumbling fortress
Once perfect and sublime
Will fail again and rise again
Until the death
Until the death of time

Roadhouse Blues lyrics - Deep Purple

(originally by The Doors)

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Yeah, we're going to the roadhouse
We're gonna have a real
Good time

Back at the roadhouse, some bungalows
Yeah, back at the roadhouse they got some bungalows
And that's for the people
Who like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long

Ashen lady, ashen lady
Give up your vows, said you got give up your vows
You got to save our city
You got to save our city
Right now, baby, right now

I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer
I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer
The future's uncertain, end is always near

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
All night long

"Now What?!" (2013)

A Simple Song lyrics - Deep Purple

Time, it does not matter
But time is all we have
To think about, think about

Road, it has no end
Crossroads every turn
So it goes, so it goes

Once you sang
A simple song
Got confused
Went on too long

Why does the promise fade
You lie on the bed you make

Stranger than fiction
Further from the truth
Beyond imagination
Those seeds have taken root

Wild as a dream could be

From black and white
To blue and red
Golden circles
Flow above your head

Once you sang
A simple song
You got confused
And now it’s gone

Once you sang
A simple song
It all went wrong

Time, it does not matter
Time is all we have

Weirdistan lyrics - Deep Purple

We travelled through time and we’re on the stretcher’s end
We’re all from up north and I live in Wonderland
Dear neighbor of mine was centuries, light years apart
You carry no flame, you’re visible in the dark

Bring it across the border, all those people are waiting flags
Some of them need a few rich men but I can’t prove that something holds me back

The man in the moon is looking the other way
And while he’s distracted we turn to another page
No questions or guilt, it seems like we’re just out of say
You do what you will, I’ll do another thing

Imagine when we’ll wake up
Scratching here, everything’s changed
While you spray here with it
You’ll know reality’s been rearranged

It’s beautiful
Oh yes, it’s beautiful
Oh yes, we merge into one

It’s beautiful
Oh yes, it’s beautiful

It’s beautiful
Oh yes, it’s beautiful
Beautiful

Out Of Hand lyrics - Deep Purple

Shiny silver faces, coloured paper falling into their hand.
Never to be seen again it must have been a one night stand.
Up until the dawn I could have sworn that everything was alright.
Thieving bastards stole my life and legged it off into the night.
It's a dirty business it's a dirty game.
Everybody different but they're all the same.
They draw you in you hear a siren call.
Build you up so they can see you fall.
You've seen it all before.
Been there since time began.
You know what's coming next.
Everything gets out of hand.
They've got the lot and god knows what they think that the deserve even more.
Psychopathic tendencies, they've got a lot of answer for.
Scratch my back and I'll stab Yours, no wonder it's a universal sickness.
Who are they, you well might ask, come with me and you can be my whitness.
It's a dirty business it's a crying shame.
You blink your eye and all the laws have changed.
They draw you in you hear a siren call.
Build you up so they can see you fall.
You've seen it all before.
Been there since time began.
You know what's coming next.
Everything gets out of hand.
It's a dirty business it's crying shame.
You blink your eye and all the laws have changed.
They say the vulture is a bird of prey.
No-one told me it would come this way.
You seen it all before.
Been there since time began.
You know what's coming next.
Everything, everything gets out of hand

Hell To Pay lyrics - Deep Purple

Big Betty or Two-tone Annie his hair was never right
He used to be cool with a glint in his eye but he lost it overnight
Spinning would change and things are rearranged and then Annie says to me
Nothing wrong with the way it was that's the way it's meant to be...

Up the revolution we're all prepared to die
Up the revolution that was the battle cry

There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay
There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay

Annie was a die-hard rebel in the good old days of way back when
The cigarette was cool and all the kids in school could read and count to ten
Annie once said he had a few to bribe of that there was no doubt
He never could make us understand what the rebellion was all about...

Up the revolution we're all prepared to die
Up the revolution that was the battle cry

There's gonna be Hell, yeah, Hell to pay
There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay

Two-tone Annie drew up battle plans for making love not war
Everybody laughed at the fighting in the streets and behind the garden door
It came to nothing when it all went down and the band began to play
Another plan put your head in the sand live to fight another day...

Up the revolution we're all prepared to die
Up the revolution that was the battle cry

There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay
There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay
There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay
There's gonna be Hell

Bodyline lyrics - Deep Purple

I’ve been watching you dancing all night long
Your legs go on forever
Exquisite synchronicity, they never stayed together
My head’s spinning, keeping focused on my mind and building this
I don’t know who you are but I’m enslaved to make your service

Makes you fall in line
A moving silhouette
It’s your body line
You do that thing you read
Make you fall in line
Clearly defined
It’s your body line
A perfect outline, so divine

Chilling to half it must’ve been hazy
Smoking my eye a poppin
Fight for your country, you got something to gain
No one but Mike Jones driving
Girl come in and out, my excuse to get me is in danger
No will but that’s like just emptied it
Wouldn’t wanna be disillusion

Makes you fall in line
So heavenly ashamed
It’s your body line
My oh my, oh my, oh my
Make you fall in line
A perfect outline, so divine
Body line

When we’re moving, connection
Well bring me to the main view
It seems to want distraction
But what I need

Makes you fall in line
A moving silhouette
It’s your body line
You do that thing you read
Make you fall in line
Clearly defined
It’s your body line, body line
A perfect outline, so divine

Above And Beyond lyrics - Deep Purple

Light turn the candle
I spark one for me
Let it float on the water
Right down to the sea
You draw back your curtain
A wavy goodbye
Lift up your arms
And look up to the sky
To the sky!

Stop me a candle
And keep it in the light
Thought it pairing window
And I come back tonight
You touch me in the darkness
I send you a sign
A give me your loving
And I’ll give you mine

I’m maybe leaving
But I won’t be gone
I’ll be there when you want me
Above and beyond

You’re fading like I tell you
It’s all up to you
I’ll be there if you’ll need me
If I get it through
Reached on your settlers
And tomorrow you’ll find
Your souls had been touched
Are forever entwined

I’m maybe leaving
But I won’t be gone
I’ll be there when you want me
Above and beyond

Yes I’m maybe leaving
But not for too long
I’ll be there when you want me
Above and beyond

Blood From A Stone lyrics - Deep Purple

In the shadow of the whole
Where my door used to be
You never give up, you want more out of me
Come on in, help yourself
Scratch around over these empty shelves
There’s nothing else that I can see except a string of these in some old bowery

You rip flesh from a bone
You sip blood from a stone

I will consider a life of crime
So I can feed these kids of mine
And should I fall down, should I fail
I’ll spend the rest of my days in some stinking jail
I won’t know who left me to your side
Stripped of my dignity low and dry

You rip flesh from a bone
You sip blood from a stone

Uh that’s damn nothing
Uh, I don’t care

You rob me blind without a gun
How can you sleep after what you’ve done?
There’s nothing but darkness deep in your soul
There’s no reflection, it’s dark and it’s cold

[x2]
You rip flesh from a bone
You sip blood from a stone

Uncommon Man lyrics - Deep Purple

Our days fall together in time
You said you can’t have it all
Beast and the broom, I have that kind of feeling
It’s got to be twenty foot tall

But the man
Is still alive
Oh, oh, oh
It’s good to be king

Standing together again
Everyone is starting to sway
I wanna hit all the clubs to the sky
Oh, it’s a fabulous day

If I’m back
It’s walk and talk
Oh, oh, oh
It’s good to be king
It’s good to be king

By the way,
The carriage is waiting
To take yo away

If you let all the fear right in
We’d never betray you
Believe what you see
It’s late as enticing, drift away

It’s good to be king
It’s good to be king
It’s good to be king
Yea, it’s good to be king

Après Vous lyrics - Deep Purple

Should’ve been there to start the game
To witness why I was in
Me still the usual bow, got the awesome right ahead
Well that’s just to bring, you understand the prospect of our mission
Nothing could possibly go alright til we lost out inhibition

Then we hit the lights
Maybe we should bring the girl that is
There’s nothing about it
Another world
While you go ahead, I’ll clench my thirst
Après vous, so go first

Things got new since we tend to do
We’ll liquefy the future
We just played our skills in romance
In the art of self-delusion
We went from chosen few, our confidence grew
It depends on where you’re standing
It’s not much you think
It’s only a blink between takeoff and landing

Then we hit the lights
Maybe we should bring the girl that is
There’s nothing about it
Another world
While you go ahead, I’ll clench my thirst
Après vous, so go first

Uh, come on man
Feel the boot turn
If it’s a burst, so what can you do?
Yes I know that she wants me too
But I can’t jump the queue so après vous

While you go ahead, I’ll clench my thirst
Après vous!

All The Time In The World lyrics - Deep Purple

There's still a long way to go
And the nights are closing in
But if I'd travelled any faster babe
Lord knows where I might have been

Right from those early days
I put my faith in the axle not the wheels
Like old Zeno's toytus
with Achilles snapping at my heels

Don't worry
There's no hurry
Here we are
With all the time in the world

I could have been a high-flying dealer
But I have no desire for speed
I could have been a wild receiver
But I've got everything I need

And so I watch the world
Go racing by tearing up the street
I lay back in the long grass
Take it easy and rest my feet

Don't worry
You know, there's no hurry
Here we are
With all the time in the world

No-one ever held me back
You know that no-one ever put me in chains
No-one ever saw me racing ahead
No-one had to tug on my reins

As everybody knows
I may be slow but I never quit
Sometimes on a good day I sit and think
Sometimes I just sit

Don't worry
Relax, there's no hurry
Here we are
With all the time in the world

Vincent Price lyrics - Deep Purple

Lightning smashing on heavy like beat
Excuse me the diff but I just can’t wait
Deep in a dungeon that’s rattling the chains
Man got to fight, he’s gonna eat my brain

It feels so good to be afraid
Vincent Price is back again

The heart pumping now, the music sound of time
The vampire’s dying, he’s got him wild
Red blood dripping, she doesn’t have a prayer
I know it’s not real but I just don’t care

It feels so good to be afraid
Vincent Price is back again

I want seven screaming virgins on a sacrificial altar
Hell and God, screeching doors, zombies, aaaaah!

It'll Be Me lyrics - Deep Purple

(originally by Jerry Lee Lewis)

Well, if you hear somebody knockin' on your door
If you see something crawlin' across the floor
Baby, it'll be me, and I'll be lookin' for you

If you see a head a-peepin' from a crawdad hole
If you see somebody climbin' up a telephone pole
Baby, it'll be me, and I'll be lookin' for you

Gonna look on the mountain and in the deep blue sea
Gonna search all the forests and look and look in every tree

Well, if you feel somethin' heavy on your fishing hook
If you see a funny face in your comic book
Baby, it'll be me, and I'll be lookin' for you

If you hear a thought a-callin' out in the night
If you see somebody hangin' from a lamppost bright
Baby, it'll be me, and I'll be lookin' for you

If you see somebody lookin' in all the cars
If you see a rocketship on its way to Mars
Baby, it'll be me, and I'll be lookin' for you

Gonna look in the city where the lights are blue
Gonna search the countryside, all the haystacks, too

If you see a new face on a totem pole
If you find a lump in your sugar bowl
Baby, it'll be me, and I'll be lookin' for you.

First Sign Of Madness lyrics - Deep Purple

Somebody tell me
Why I'm talking to myself
I never listen to a word I say
Nor does anyone else
Somebody ask me
If I have any doubt
Maybe yes, maybe no
It's something to think about

The first sign of madness
Is talking to yourself
When I'm deep in conversation
Boy it sure is hard to tell
You're gonna have to put me down
You don't know where I've been
You can't imagine in your wildest dreams
The kind of shit we're in

Rambling on again
No-one's listening
On and on again
Don't believe a single word

"Rapture Of The Deep" (2005)

Money Talks lyrics - Deep Purple

I was young and healthy
Extremely wealthy
I swung in the trees
And did as I pleased
I thought I was rich
Oh yeah
Such sweet seduction
I could feel the suction
Greasing my palm
And doing no harm
Just making some deals
What a bitch

Money talks to me
Whispers in my ear
Gives me everything I want
Everything I want

I had rising stock
So I got more pockets
I knew somewhere to stick it
Where no-one would nick it
I kinda went private
And then, aha
Such sweet seclusion
No more intrusion
Too much food on my plate
But there's guards at the gate
Such joy
I could almost die of it

Money talks to me
Lays it on the line
Gives me everything I want
Everything I want

Money goes to money
Yes it always returns
Finds its way back to the big house
Where it lives all alone
Wraithlike silent partners
Operators of the system
Give words of quiet assurance
To an otherwise healthy victim

It's all coming back to me
I would swing in the trees
And I'd swim in the ocean
I used to show some emotion

I was not to blame
I feel no shame
The structure was shaking
Was there for the taking
I had the resources
But then, oh no
Someone outbid me
I can't take it with me?
Then I will devour it
I can't go without it
It's simply a question of
Market forces

Money talks to me
Whispers in my ear
Gives me everything I want
Everything I want
Money talks to me
Laughs right in my face
Gives me everything I want
Everything I want

Girls Like That lyrics - Deep Purple

I'm in a bad spot babe
I can't hear what you say
I'd love to stop and talk
You keep fading away
Just the way she said it
Something in her tone
Always so convincing
But she's good on the phone
I'll wait until she's ready
That could be a while
She always takes her time
Then she turns up in style
Something not right
Didn't recognise the car
Women being what they are

There is no sense of reason
In a reasonable world
Makes any sense at all
To a reasonable girl
She said you know what I mean
But I couldn't understand
Didn't know what she said
I'm a reasonable man
It wasn't meant that way
I was only having fun
She looked me in the eye
But the damage was done
I got the vague impression
She was under my thumb
I looked the other way
And I had to succumb

Girls like that
I want girls like that
Girls like that
I like girls like that

Wrong Man lyrics - Deep Purple

I wasn't in the room when the action was going down
I may have been there once but at the time I was out of town
I'm seeing strange fruit, they're saying off with his head
One way or another I'll end up dead

You got the wrong man
You don't understand
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong man
I do what I can

I plead not guilty to the charges you've laid out on your desk
I know what you're thinking "Oh yes - this is a DSF"
I think I'm prime ministerial material but I can't lie to you
So I'm out of the running
But from here in my cell I imagine
Wouldn't that be something

You got the wrong man
You don't understand
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong man
I do what I can

Rapture Of The Deep lyrics - Deep Purple

I told you once about a place that I had accidentally stumbled upon
Can you imagine how it feels to find somewhere that you can do no wrong
But it's alright you're safe in my hands

I'll meet you in the sky tonight and we will trace some undiscovered stars
We'll go beyond the universe beyond all understanding, hey, it's not that far
But if s alright I feel safe in your hands

I can't stand living this way
Getting by from day to day
I'm drinking from your loving cup
I told you things were looking up
Oh oh oh so good
Oh it feels so good

We're all the same but then again we're all quite different in our own peculiar ways
We've come so far and now we're going through another phase
But it's alright
We made it so far

I can't stand living this way
Getting by from day to day
I'm drinking from your loving cup
Told you things were looking up

As we all know if s hard to breathe when something spiritual has taken place
We don't know why we don't know how we've been transformed into a state of grace
But it's alright
We walk in our sleep
Yes it's alright
This is rapture of the deep

Clearly Quite Absurd lyrics - Deep Purple

After all we said today
The strangest thought occurred
I feel I ought to tell you
But it's clearly quite absurd
Wouldn't it be wonderful
If you could read my mind
Imagine all the stuff
That we could leave behind
How many words you waste
Before you're understood
Or simply sow some seeds
You'd do it if you could
Let me take a moment
Of your time
Inside you mind

I know what you're thinking
But I don't know what to say
The turmoil and the conflict
You don't have to feel that way
Look into my eyes
And feel my hand upon your heart
Holding us together
Not tearing us apart
How many words we waste
To justify a crime
Compare it to an act of love
That really takes no time
Why not take a moment
Of your time
Inside your mind

Don't Let Go lyrics - Deep Purple

I get lost on a regular basis
I'm not alone I see the same old faces
Back on the road it's a worthy opponent
I get home in the heat of the moment

What's that stuff always rise to the surface
College cream, it always emerges
Be what you are I tell myself
And myself tells me we can't be anybody else

You always sleep with a smile on your face
Much as I want to put myself in your place
Not my business I've got dreams of my own
I try to recall but when I wake up it's gone

Don't let go of that image
You'll never see it again

I can hear voices they're buzzing in my head
Eyebrows raised was it something I said
A long hot night, it crept in like a thief
The engine stopped, the seatbelt popped
And her jaw dropped in disbelief

Don't let go of that beast
You'll never see it again

Don't let go of that whisky bottle
You'll never see it again

Back To Back lyrics - Deep Purple

I read in the news
That the average man
Is uplifted five times a day
I'm confused
I have to confess
My feeling never goes away
I know it's right
They asked the average man
In a survey across the nation
I can't understand how the average man
Keeps losing his concentration

Oh you gotta use it
Oh you gonna lose it

I'm just begun
When you're all done
I see you running down the road
Can't hear a thing
My mind is blasted
And my head is about to explode
Feeling the pain
Just more of the same
As we're rolling through the night
Going so fast
We're sure to nit the next town
Before the last one's out of sight

Oh you gotta use it
Oh you gonna lose it

Back to back
One on one
Shake it up
Move it on
Back to back
One on one
Turn it up
Hold it down

Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye lyrics - Deep Purple

I threw a rock in the lake and it sank to the bottom
The waves spread out but the rock got forgotten
The ripples came back just as we feared
Looking for the rock but the hole disappeared
It's somewhere in the middle some way down
The last guy that went looking almost certainly drowned

He ran out of time
He can kiss tomorrow goodbye

Yes I piss in the water and burn down trees
I watch as the creatures fall to their knees
They ain't got a clue as disaster looms
They're too busy choking on toxic fumes
They got no hope and there's no point running
No matter what they do I keep on coming

They ran out of time
They can kiss tomorrow goodbye

I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing
I did a bad thing

Well hallelujah and holy mackerel
All we got left is a thief and a jackal
The writing is big and it's there on the wall
Oh how the mighty empires fall
There's nothing to fix it's much too late
Sit down and prepare to meet your fate

You have run out of time
Kiss tomorrow goodbye

MTV lyrics - Deep Purple

I was driving through the night
Into an endless tunnel of fog
When it dawned on me something was wrong
I was in a trance, hypnotized

Bored beyond belief, I was listening to the same old song
I know every lick, every word every nuance
I'm on first name terms with the crew
But I'd better get used to this poop du jour
Sure as hell they won't play anything new

Oh yes, I love you really
Classic Rock Radio
Oh, my dear it's time for bed
Time for you to go
Everyone is asleep

The pirates took to the water stole the charts
But sadly that didn't go down well with those upstairs
Who require loyalty, the establishment considered
That the uncontrolled appreciation of music

Was a danger to royalty, the mighty empire roared
As Cash 'n' Everitt on the high seas
Looked like they'd get blown out of the water
They did of course eventually come ashore
As meek as mice or to be more accurate as lambs to the slaughter

Oh yes, I love you really
I stand to attention
Oh, Fanny, I love you dearly
Something else I should mention?
You sweet thing

Let's not talk about MTV
I don't even want to start
I want to take a look at Classic Rock Radio
We're talking about the state of the art

Mr Grover 'n' Mr Gillian
You musta made a million
The night that Frank Zappa caught on fire
Could you tell us all about it

Keep it short and use my version
Or everyone out there'll think I'm a liar
We can speak about bananas for one second

Just because I understand
You have to get them off your chest
But in the meantime while you're talking
Could you do some more of these here ID's
And then this station might maintain some interest

Oh yes, I love you dearly
But why do you exist?
Oh yes, I love you really
Is there something that I missed?
