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
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
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
If I were you
I'll think of something
When my blood runs cool

If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
If I were you
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
