Deep Purple are an English rock band formed in Hertford in 1968. They are considered to be among the pioneers of heavy metal and modern hard rock, although some band members claimed that their music cannot be categorised as belonging to any one genre. They were once listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as "the globe's loudest band", and have sold over 100 million albums worldwide, including 7.5 million certified units in the US. Deep Purple were ranked number 22 on VH1's Greatest Artists of Hard Rock programme.
The band has gone through many line-up changes and an eight-year hiatus (1976–84). The 1968–76 line-ups are commonly labelled Mark I, II, III and IV. Their second and most commercially successful line-up featured Ian Gillan (vocals), Roger Glover (bass), Jon Lord (keyboards), Ian Paice (drums), and Ritchie Blackmore (guitar). This line-up was active from 1969 to 1973, and was revived from 1984 to 1989, and again in 1993, before the rift between Blackmore and other members became unbridgeable. The current line-up (including guitarist Steve Morse) has been much more stable, although Lord's retirement from the band in 2002 has left Paice as the only original Deep Purple member still in the band. As of 2012, Deep Purple have not been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
When the deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to flicker in the sky
Through the mist of a memory
You wander back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night
Once again I'll hold you tight
Though you're gone your love lives on
When moonlight beams
And as long as my heart will beat
Love we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
And as long as my heart will beat
Love we'll always meet
When the deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to flicker in the sky
Through the mist of a memory you wander back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night once again I hold you tight
Though you're gone, your love lives on when moonlight beams
And as long as my heart will beat, lover we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
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
Peeping round the door I got a big surprise
Couldn't see a thing but open skies
They've taken her away where is she now
Wish that she was here wish she'd hold my hand
Maybe she could laugh maybe understand
Why was I so cruel where is she now
Acting like a fool had to make her cry
Maybe I'm a Leo but I ain't a lion
Hey baby, what you gonna do
When the lights go up on you ?
What's your name, can I drive you home ?
Sweet woman, are you all alone ?
You're the one for me
I'm gonna keep you busy as a bee, could bee, could be
Rat bat blue
Now, get up woman, don't be slow
It's getting late and I wanna go
No cause for acting big
Got to love, got to live
Stick around with me
I'm gonna show you things you never thought you'd see,
you see
Rat bat blue
You're so fine
Get out ! You didn't understand
I'm a hard loving man
No way you can satisfy
The way you look, the way you lie
And when you shut the door
Make sure I don't see you 'round here no more
Rat bat blue
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
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
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
While you were out...
The message says
You left a number
And I tried to call
But they wrote it down
In a perfect spanish scrawl
In a perfect spanish scrawl
Yet again
I'm missing you
King size bed
(in a) hotel someplace
I hear your name
I see your face
I see your face
(the) back street dolls
And the side door johnnies
The wide eyed boys with their bags full of
Money
Back in the alley
Going bang to the wall
Tied to the tail
Of a midnight crawl
Heaven wouldn't be
So high I know
If the times gone by
Hadn't been so low
The best laid plans
Come apart at the seams
And shatter all my dreams
Sometimes I feel like...
Screaming
Close my eyes
It's times like this
My head goes down
And the only thing I know
Is the name of this town
Is the name of this town
Yet again
I'm missing you
Won't be long
O' coming home
Until that distant time
I'll be moving on
I'll be moving on
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?
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
I'm alone here
With emptiness, eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And counting with pictures of home
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?
I'm alone here
With emptiness, eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
Can you remember,remember my name
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
oh, and cold spirit of ice
All my life
I am the echo of your past
I am returning the echo of a point in time
Distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
And laughing as the spirits appear
All your life
Shadows of another day
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Perfect Strangers
I know I must remain inside this silent
well of sorrow
A strand of silver hanging through the
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in your mind
Is aching with the dead of the night
Precious life (your tears are lost in
falling rain)
And if you hear me talking on the wind
You've got to understand
We must remain
Somebody, somebody, come to my side
I'm tired, I'm crying, I'm sick inside
My woman, that woman, just wasn't right
Help me now please my friend
I never felt so bad before
Never never before
So funny, so funny, just like a show
One name, two people, all in a row
Somebody, somebody, someone must go
Help me now please my friend
I never felt so bad before
Never never before
I was hurt when I was younger
By a woman who was cold
She took my name, she took my body
Then she threw away my soul
I can't hide, I can't hide my misery
I know my sorrow won't set me free
She did it, just see, she did it to me
Help me now please my friend
I never felt so bad before
Take the trouble to decide the things you do
Will not be the things that don't appeal to you
See the mess you're makin', can't you see you're 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'
Break my back with hard lovin'
Take my hand and keep movin'
Don't slow down we're nearly there now
oh, oh, oh, ...
Oh, can you stand the pain
I'm a hard lovin' man
What's your name? It's alright now
Trick or treat we're uptight now
Wanna feel ya I wanna hear ya
Oh, oh, oh, ...
Oh, here we go again
I'm a hard lovin' man
Come back here it's not over
Can't you see there's still time girl
I can last make if fast now
Oh, oh, oh, ...
Oh, gotta catch a train
Spread the word around
The rat is leaving town
The message is a song
The misery is gone
Once I had a dream
To sing before the queen
She didn't want to know
She wouldn't see the show
What a fright
I couldn't do it right
Oh what a night
Mystic demons fly
All about the sky
With memories of a clown
The saddest show in town
When I was seventeen
My mother said to me
Be careful what you touch
You shouldn't take so much
I blew my mind
She was so kind
I could have cried
In my mind
I had to find
A 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
Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between, good and the bad
See the blind man, he's shooting at the world
The bullets flying and they're taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, you bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah
Sweet child in time,time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between, good of us and the bad of us
See the blind man, shooting at the world
The bullets flying they're killing everyone
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have been bad
I bet you have been bad, you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, you better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah
I need [Incomprehensible]
The golden light above you show me where you're from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
You stand up on your hill, 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
The golden light above you show me where you're from
The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
You stand up on your hill, 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
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,
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
The day is gone when the angels come to stay
And all the silent whispers will be blown away
Lying in the corner a pair of high heel shoes
Hanging on the wall gold and silver for the blues
One to many wasted sunsets
One to many for the road
And after dark the door is always open
Hoping someone else will show
Someone is waiting behind an unlocked door
Grey circles overhead empties on the floor
The cracks in the walls have grown too long
The slow hand is dragging on afraid to meet the dawn
One to many wasted sunsets
One to many for the road
And after dark the door is always open
We've got a Mandrake Root
It's some thunder in my brain
Yeah, I feed it to my babe
She thunders just the same
Food of love sets her flame
Ah, stick it up
Yeah, 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
You're so hot, you're so cool
I can see that you're nobody's fool
Now tell me, am I coming through?
It's too late, I can't wait
Believe it's gonna be a big mistake
Oh Lord, I'm tempted to believe in you
I don't want to run and I don't want to fight
I just want to be the one you love tonight
Unclose my eyes, let it be
Bring on the band of angels from the great divide
I'll never get to heaven, so take me for a ride
Fruit on the tree is shaking, my mind is in a daze
I just want a taste of your love and learn your wicked ways
You're so bad, it feels good
There's so much I never understood
Oh mama, take a look at me now
I'm hung up, strung out
All I want to do is scream and shout your name
Addicted to you somehow
Electric in your touch, there's magic in your kiss
You know, I never knew that love could feel like this
Unclose my eyes and set me free, set me free
Bring on the band of angels from the great divide
I'll never get to heaven, so take me for a ride
Fruit on the tree is shaking, my mind is in a daze
I just want a taste of your love and learn your wicked ways
Your wicked ways, your wicked ways
[Incomprehensible]
Ooh, baby
Ooh, baby
[Incomprehensible]
Bring on the band of angels from the great divide
I'll never get to heaven, so take me for a ride
Fruit on the tree is shaking, my mind is in a daze, baby
I just want a taste of your love and learn your wicked ways
Got your finger on the trigger
Your cold eyes taking aim
You took a shot at my heart
Let the bullets fly
Tell me has one of them got my name
What about the heartache
What about the emptiness inside
It doesn't just fade away
Turning the knife, how much can I bleed
The cut runs deep
The cut runs deep
The cut runs deep
I can't find no salvation
Can't find no healing touch
Reaching out for mercy
A stranger in your eyes
I want you, want you too much
What about the heartache
What about the emptiness inside
It doesn't just fade away
Turning the knife how much can I bleed
The cut runs deep
The cut runs deep
The cut runs deep
The cut runs deep
The cut runs deep
[Incomprehensible]
The cut runs deep
'Cause I, I, I want you too much
What about the heartache
What about the emptiness inside
The cut runs deep
Turning the knife
The cut runs deep
What about the heartache
What about the emptiness inside
It doesn't fade away
The cut runs deep
Turning the knife
The cut runs deep
What about the heartache
What about the emptiness inside
Sweet Wine (Hush)
Ba, ba, ba etc
Who wants the worry,the hurry of city life.
Money, nothing funny,wasting the best of our life.
Sweet wine, hay making,
sunshine day breaking.
We can wait till tomorrow.
Car speed, road calling,bird freed, leaf falling.
We can bide time.

Strange ways
Strange
Strange
I was born into confusion
My mother said to me
?When you become a man you'll understand?
But it's still a mystery
And if you want to get ahead
Get some decent clothes
The only way to make it
Dress the part that gets right up my nose
And I think to myself in this river of doubt
This is somethin' I can do without
But, strange ways is what I got
(Strange ways)
The Indians are coming
I saw it on TV
They're twenty thousand strong
But they always get depleted by the cavalry
Salvation is at hand
It's guaranteed
Just send a donation straight to God
One eight hundred, toll free
And I think to myself in this academy of fear
Where am I going, what am I doing here?
But strange ways is all I got
(Strange ways)
Aaa, aaa
Aaa, aaa
Aaa, aaa
Have you seen the headlines?
(Princess engaged)
Three million out of work
But that's on the second page
The alien has landed
Finger in his ear
Can't hear a word I am saying
But that ain't such a bad idea
And I think to myself in this cradle of lust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
But strange ways is all you get
I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand and sing songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me, you love me
And I would surely stay
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
Well, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round, baby
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
I guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
Well there must have been a reason
For the smile that you had upon your face last night
Are you the cat that got the cream?
Did you lick your lips? Did you roll your eyes?
Can you imagine how it feels?
It's so hard to reveal, oh
I can't get through, I'm falling
I'm getting out, I'm losing ground
The Spanish Archer's gonna bring you down
Is there someone, somewhere
Waiting in the wings to take my place?
Let's not drag it out, like a Cagney death scene
Oh, in this season of change, it's not hard to explain
Like the leaves on the trees, I'm falling
And as you turn, don't look away
The Spanish Archer's gonna make you pay
Do you remember when the sky was blue?
We used to talk for miles
And now we drive along, in this thundering silence
It's such an obvious lie, with that easy smile of yours
I'm letting go, and I'm falling
I'm getting out, losing ground
The Spanish Archer's gonna bring you down
Well is there something I can say
As we stumble to the edge, have we gone too far?
Why don't we call it a day
Before we call it a nightmare, darlin'?
If we made a mistake, then all that it takes to be free
Is the wave of a hand and you're falling
And as you turn, don't look away
Broken down relations, beaten up guitars
Making one last appearance in a heap of old cars
Brambles and weeds are flourishing amongst
Lines of empty bottles and rambling drunks
Ha, junkyard blues sound familiar
I'm never alone, always remind me of home
One of a dozen covered with stains
Blistered and stinking was all that remained
Cannibalized machines, mysterious bones
The unwanted contents of anonymous homes
Ha, those junkyard blues sound familiar
Take me back, always remind me of home
Mangy old dog scratching in the dust
Burned out Mercedes surrendering to rust
All this stuff was good for something
Here it is now, it's good for nothing
Ha, junkyard blues sound familiar
Mama plays a queen on the hill built on a dream
While her 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 inviting 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 your love and you'll see up 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 underground
And to his wish he will yield
Fate will have its word of course
But time will change its course
I don't have the time of day
I don't know what day it is
Someone's falling on my head
Get up, get up, we're going out on the raz
Razzle dazzle, call it what you want
To me it doesn't matter, it's where I belong
It's a matter of distinction, a real fine line
Between an orgy of destruction and a wonderful time
And this room's so cold and bare
And there's nothing here for me
I've got to find some heat somewhere
Get up, get up, we're going out on the raz
Razzle dazzle, call it what you want
It really doesn't matter when I'm bangin' on a gong
While someone's holding out to a willing congregation
And we can all forget about the state of the nation
Can't hear a thing but I see your lips are moving
I'm working on my thinking and I think it's improving
I'm going to get the blame so I might as well deliver
If only I can swim across this weird human river
I know I started out with the best of intentions
Some blinding inspiration and a few not-to-mention
And now I'm looking deep into the last dying embers
Shouting what are we doing here and nobody remembers
I've lost a friend or two
I don't know where they have gone
Now only one thing I can do
Get up, get up, I'm going out on the raz
Razzle dazzle, call it what you want
To me it don't matter, it's where I belong
It's a matter of distinction, a real fine line
Between an orgy of destruction and a wonderful time
Razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle
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 it'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, 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
I told you things were looking up
As we all know it's hard to breathe
When something spiritual has taken place
We don't know how, we don't know why
We've been transformed into a state of grace
But it's alright, we walk in our sleep
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
Colors of yellow and colors of red
All I'm asking some secret voice
Is to lead me to darkness
I'm so tired, dawn never comes
I just hide in the shadows
All I'm asking some secret voice
Is to lead me to darkness
I'm so tired, dawn never comes
I just hide in the shadows
I feel the ice in my head
Running its hands through my bed
Not even dreaming I seem to be dead
Alright
Well, I'm standing here on a moving station
All the world is traveling by
To strange outlandish destinations
How did they go, I wonder why
I may be crazy but I'm not stupid
I get along 'cause I use my silver tongue
You know, I can dream in any language
Flying in my magic bed
And I don't need to work my passage
All I do is using my head
I may be crazy but I'm not stupid
Sometimes I ramble and then I'm lucid
Well ooh, I might seem lazy but I'm hurting no one
I get along 'cause I use my silver tongue
But I know exactly what you're thinking
But you don't know what's in my mind
It got to, went too fast, now you're sinking
'Cause you forgot to read the signs
I may be crazy but I'm not stupid
Sometimes I ramble and then I'm lucid
But I might seem lazy but I'm hurting no one
I get along 'cause I use my silver tongue
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I can dream in any language
I know exactly what you're thinking
Flying in my magic bed
All the world is traveling by
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 yeah, whispers in my ear
Gives me everything I want, everything I want
I had rising stock so I got more pockets
I knew where to stick it where no one could 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, yeah
Money talks to me, oh yeah, lays it on the line
Oh, 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
Oh, 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
Wasn't 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, it whispers in my ear
Gives me everything I want, oh yeah
Money talks to me, laughs right in my face
Gives me everything I want, everything I want
Flying to Salt Lake City
Seats 3A and B
I was down and needed a window
But in 3A sat Mitzi Dupree
She said, "Hi I am Mitzi the queen of the ping pong
Where you going boy"
I said, "Nowhere"
She said, "I'm moving on"
I thought what is this
I cannot resist, here she is
And I've always wanted a girl with a name
A name like Mitzi Dupree
She said, "What do you do"
I said, "I'm a singer in a band"
She said, "Yeah I'm an entertainer"
Reached out and took my hand
She was going to a mining town
Way up north to do her show
I said, "It must be cold up there"
She said, "Depends on who you know"
Oh, that look in her eye, I can tell you no lies
I'm just a man, she made me feel
Like a king in my mind, I love you Mitzi Dupree
I know I love you Mitzi Dupree
I said, "What is this queen of the ping pong business"
She smiled, "What do you think
It has no connection with China"
I said, "Have another drink"
Well I knew right away
That I'd seen her act before
In a room behind a kitchen in Bangkok
And three or four times more in Singapore
She may not be the first
But I know she ain't the worst
She was mine but I ran out of time
I miss you, I love you Mitzi Dupree
My darling Mitzi Dupree
My darling, my darling
My darling Mitzi Dupree
Mitzi Dupree
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
Gray sky where it should be blue
Gray 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 is the season of the night
Gray sky where it should be blue
Gray sky where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so
I'll cry, say that I don't know
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
Lucille, come back where you belong
Oh, Lucille, come back where you belong
I ain't nothing to ya, sing you such a beautiful song
I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight
I asked her friends about her but all their lips were tight
Lucille, come back where you belong
You came along for a weekend
But you only stayed for one night
You took off your hair, you pulled out your teeth
Yeah, I almost died of fright
You'd better do something
For your own sake
Yeah, it's a shame
Ah, you know you're a living wreck
You said you were a virgin
Full of promise and mystery, yeah
But I knew that you would bring me down
'Cause everyone calls you Big G
You'd better do something
For your own sake
Yeah, it's a shame
Ah, you know you're a living wreck
You said you're gonna love me
You said you're gonna set me free
But I knew that you would bring me down
And, and cause me misery, yeah
You'd better do something
For your own sake
Yeah, it's a shame
So many signs, so many ways
It's a living thing no need to rush
The buzz will last for days
When you discover, I'm just a man
Take it girl or leave it
Don't be reading out the label on the can
I got your number
I got your number
I got your number
I'll be your lover, I'll be your friend
I'll be your friend and your brother in love
But that's where the story ends
If you say jump, I'll do it with affection
But don't get pissed if I don't move
Too fast in your direction
I got your number
I got your number
I got your number
It's that same old nonsense that same old look
But now I'm turning back
And I can read you like a book
It all means nothing, nothing at all
It's the same old business
Man it drives me up the wall
You made the potion too strong
I feel I'm going soft
I've been that way far too long
You see, now it's wearing off
So many times, so many days
It's a spiritual thing that loving touch
I thought you'd be amazed
I like the distance, I like the space
The money's good, the rent is cheap
And I can read suspicion on your face
I got your number
I got your number
I got a certain little girl, she's on my mind
No doubt about it, she looks so fine
The best girl that I ever had
She's gonna make me feel so bad
Yeah, make me feel so bad
She's got loving like quicksand
Only took one touch of my hand
Blow my mind and I'm in so deep
Can't eat, I can't sleep, yeah
I can't sleep, yeah
Hush, hush, I thought I heard her
Calling my name now
Hush, she took my heart
But I love her just the same now
Hush, thought I heard her
Calling my name now
Hush, hush, I need her loving
But I'm not to blame now
I got her early in the morning
Late in the evening
Hush, hush, I thought I heard her
Calling my name now
Hush, she took my heart
But I love her just the same now
Hush, thought I heard her
Calling my name now
Hush, hush, I need her loving
But I'm not to blame now
I got her early in the morning
Have you ever had a woman that could make you crazy?
Have you ever had a woman that could drive you mad?
Have you ever had a woman give you so much trouble
And the best lovin' you ever had?
My friends all say I'm losing it big time
But I know where I've got to go
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
Back to the house of pain
Have you ever had a rock that just keeps on rollin'?
Have you ever seen a train comin' down the track?
Have you ever jumped into the cold, cold river
And know there's no turning back?
My friends all say I'm crazy, baby
I know where I've got to go
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
I'm going home
Back to the house of pain
Have you ever had a weight that was much too heavy?
Have you ever had a burden that was yours alone?
Have you ever spent a night when you kept on waiting
Staring at the telephone?
My friends all say I'm crazy
But I know where I've got to go
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
I'm going back there again
Back to the house of pain
Pain, pain, pain
Back to the house of pain
Back to the house of pain
Back to the house of pain
Back
Back
Back
So many signs, so many ways
It's a living thing no need to rush
The buzz will last for days
When you discover, I'm just a man
Take it girl or leave it
Don't be reading out the label on the can
I got your number
I got your number
I got your number
I'll be your lover, I'll be your friend
I'll be your friend and your brother in love
But that's where the story ends
If you say jump, I'll do it with affection
But don't get pissed if I don't move
Too fast in your direction
I got your number
I got your number
I got your number
It's that same old nonsense that same old look
But now I'm turning back
And I can read you like a book
It all means nothing, nothing at all
It's the same old business
Man it drives me up the wall
You made the potion too strong
I feel I'm going soft
I've been that way far too long
You see, now it's wearing off
So many times, so many days
It's a spiritual thing that loving touch
I thought you'd be amazed
I like the distance, I like the space
The money's good, the rent is cheap
And I can read suspicion on your face
I got your number
I got your number
I hear the beating of your wings
As if you're playing on my strings
In mysterious ways, you draw me in
To a love beyond all understanding
Beyond my reach, so far away
But it seems like only yesterday
I'm haunted, haunted
Is that what you wanted?
All that's left is the ghost of your smile
It stays awhile then fades away
I hear your footsteps on the ground
Tempting me to turn around
It's just the echo of a disenchanted lover
Shuffling aimlessly, homeward bound
To empty rooms and picture frames
And friends, who can't recall our names
I'm haunted, haunted
Oh, you got what you wanted
All that's left is the ghost of your smile
It stays awhile then fades away
Oh, I'm haunted, haunted
Is that what you wanted?
All that's left is the ghost of your smile
It stays awhile then fades away
Haunted, haunted
Is that what you wanted?
All that's left is the ghost of your smile
It stays awhile then fades away
Haunted, haunted
Is that what you wanted, baby?
Haunted, haunted
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I am a preacher with a message for my people
Over the world, scratching on the ground
Looking for the peace that nobody has found
I am a spokesman for a better way of living
Love is the word and it can be heard
If you are young the message can be sung
Let me hear you sing
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Oh, tell it to the man who's power is the sermon on the wall
Tell it to the man, it's you who says you can misjudge them all
Tell it till it can be heard above the wailing of the crowd
Tell it on the field of war and hope you'll soon be justified
There is a better way of life and it's not so hard to find
If you live and let the people in your world speak its mind
I am the pupil who sells his life for freedom
All over the world and it can be heard
If you are young the message can be sung
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I was born a rambling man
An' I never got the chance
To settle down an' get a hold on love
Takin' air an' movin' around
Is all I can see that I'm doin'
An' it is bringin' me down
Drivin' on a highway going nowhere
Desolation destination
Guess I'll find it somewhere
I know if there's trouble
I ain't takin' the blame
That's why I keep movin'
So nobody knows my name
Born a loser
I'm beyond the law
Women behind me
Never can find me
They can never get together
What I've been here for
Cos I'm a drifter
Rollin' on
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
And 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 recognize 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 meant
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
But 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
Girls like that
I know girls like that
Girls like that
When night time comes
And I'm ten thousand miles away
Just lose yourself
And watch the band kick back and play
Get up keep in line
It's gettin' tighter all the time
You say, you're feelin' fine
It's gettin' tighter all the time
Get a load off your mind
This place is right it's hard to find
The mood is set alright
It's gonna be a long, long night
You keep spinnin' 'round
You find it hard to touch the ground
And time is all it takes
You'll find it easy once you make
Get up, keep in line
It's gettin' tighter all the time
Gettin' tighter
Gettin' tighter
Gettin' tighter
Gettin' tighter
Gettin' tighter
Gettin' tighter
Gettin' tighter
Gettin' tighter
When I was younger, so much younger than today
Never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days have gone I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind, opened up the door
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
But I do appreciate your being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please help me, yeah?
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, down
But I do appreciate your being 'round me
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please help me, my love?
(Help)
I need somebody
(Help)
Not just anybody
(Help)
I need someone
(Help)
Won't you please help me, my love?
Help me, baby
I was born a rambling man
An' I never got the chance
To settle down an' get a hold on love
Takin' air an' movin' around
Is all I can see that I'm doin'
An' it is bringin' me down
Drivin' on a highway going nowhere
Desolation destination
Guess I'll find it somewhere
I know if there's trouble
I ain't takin' the blame
That's why I keep movin'
So nobody knows my name
Born a loser
I'm beyond the law
Women behind me
Never can find me
They can never get together
What I've been here for
Cos I'm a drifter
Rollin' on
You know 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, always emerges
Be what you are, I tell myself
And myself tells me, we can't be anybody else
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, when I wake up it's gone
When I wake up it's gone
When I wake up it's gone
I said
Don't let go
Don't let go, no
Don't let go of that image
Said don't let go
You'll never see it again
Oh no
I can hear voices they're buzzing in my head
Eyebrows raised, was it something that I said?
Long hot night, crept in like a thief
The engine stopped, the seatbelt popped
And her jaw dropped in disbelief
Oh, in disbelief
Oh man
Stopped, the seatbelt popped
And her jaw dropped in disbelief
I said
Don't let go
Don't let go, no
Don't let go of that beast
Said don't let go
You'll never see it again
Don't let go
Don't let go, no
Don't let go of that whiskey bottle
Said don't let go
You'll never see it again
If you fool around
With the dealer
Remember soon
You'll have to pay, yeah
He'll creep behind you
Like a hunter
Just to steal your soul away
I don't want no one
Messing with my woman
But just the same
I don't see nobody
Fooling with you
If you're snow blind
Madonna can hold you
But if you don't understand
There is nothing she can do for you
Running from the dealer
Trying to save your soul
I can feel the fire
Coming from inside you
I know what it's like
'Cos I've been burned before
Ain't no mercy in the hunger
You're a fool to yourself
'Cos your dealer keeps you begging for more
Running from the dealer
Trying to save your soul
In the beginning all you wanted
Was the calm before the storm
If the bluebird plays the eagle, yeah
Pass your mother, lose your brother
Be a lover, too
Well all together make it better
You gotta cry free
Bridges burnin', eyes are turnin'
Now they're learnin' fools
They're gonna talk it over
While they're talkin'
You gotta cry free
Cry free
Fists are shakin', homes are breakin'
Know what's makin' blues
Oh true convictions, satesfaction
I've got nothing to say today
I used my words up yesterday
I'm just lying here in the sun
Watching you guys having fun
Seven days, seven nights
Working till you got it right
Don't help me, I'll help myself
I'll pull some crackers off the shelf
She had her hair done yesterday
Now she's coming out to play
First you pull then you push
Two in the hand and one in the bush
Oh, my love is so excited
When I say we've been invited
Now we're going to the palace
Dressing up for tea with Alice
Some will rise and some will fall
Some will come to nothing at all
The strangest people have the power
To lead me to my darkest hour
How can you be sure it's me
When it's payment on delivery
Oh, my love is so excited
When I say we've been invited
Now we're going to the palace
Dressing up for tea with Alice
Now my love is richer than rich
'Cause I studied mathematics
Graduated without honors
Take a look at these dirty hands
Take a look at this face, these blazing eyes
Do you see me as a broken man? Oh yeah
Tell me are you really that blind?
You got yourself a load of trouble now
You got yourself a bad deal
You say I've got a bad attitude
Well, how do you think I feel?
You got me locked in a paper cage
You think I'm chained up but I'm just tied down
Step aside, get it out of my way
I won't hurt you, I had enough being pushed around, oh yeah
You got yourself a load of trouble now
You got yourself a bad deal
You say I've got a bad attitude
How do you think I feel?
Don't want a number, I got a name
Take a look at my face
You talk about a bad attitude
Things have got to change, oh yeah
You got yourself a load of trouble now
You got yourself a bad deal
You say I've got a bad attitude
Well, how do you think I feel?
Don't want a number, I got a name
Take a look at my face
You talk about a bad attitude
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
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
You got to turn it up, hold it down
Back to back, one on one
I [Incomprehensible] shake it up, move it on
Back to back, one on one
You got to turn it up, hold it down
Oh, you gotta use it
John San what you can
La, la, Janette, dance in sand
What's the mystery, my son?
Gypsy Dan Caravan
Won Tun Wan with your Chinese fan
History, my son
Murder and rape with your power
10th revolution in far away days
It's come to this, Gypsy's Kiss
All your power's gonna fade in the haze
[Incomprehensible] Jumme gae bile ya heed
Senorita said, I'll drag your lungs out through your nose
Space truckers free and high
Teamsters get ya by and by
That should keep you on your toes
They got a gun at your head
But you ain't necessarily playing their game
They can't resist, Gypsy's Kiss
All that's needed to drive them insane
John Wayne, The Alamo
Crazy Horse, Geronimo
I'll smoke a piece with you
Mind, body, heart and soul
We got rock and roll
And there's nothing they can do
Hear the small voice of truth
Above the shouting despair of the crowd
What do you wish? Gypsy's Kiss
The wind is blowing from a new direction
You're thinking 'bout going, I know
It's been a long season and hard on our affections
But that's no reason to let go
You change just like the weather
But the weather, you know, will always change
If you stay, it'll get better
Wherever you go, it's bound to rain
So put on your jacket and stand your ground
Love's gonna have its highs and lows
If we turn and face it, the wind will come around
Don't have to chase it when it blows
You change just like the weather
Well, 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 can
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 get
Now I'm getting jail and torture
'Cause I made the judge's daughter, yes I did, it was nice
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
Ha, what do ya think of that?
But the weather, you know, will always change
If you stay, it'll get better
Wherever you go, it's bound to rain
You change just like the weather
But the weather, you know, will always change
If you stay, it'll get better
Wherever you go, it's bound to rain
Im so far away
From everything you know
Your name is carried on the wind
Your ice blue waters anya
Where do they flow
Where have they been
Where have they been
A hidden passion
Touching a spark
Flame of revolution
Burning wild in your gypsy heart
Your gypsy heart
Anya - the spirit of freedom
Anya - oh anya
The light of freedom buried
Deep within your soul
Across the puszta plain to see
The rhapsody of angels
Refuse to dance alone
What do they mean
What do they mean
Your jewel flashing
Across the dark
Forbidding distance
I love your gypsy heart
Your gypsy heart
Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between, good and the bad
See the blind man, he's shooting at the world
The bullets flying and they're taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, you bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah
Sweet child in time,time, you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between, good of us and the bad of us
See the blind man, shooting at the world
The bullets flying they're killing everyone
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have been bad
I bet you have been bad, you've not been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, you better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet, yeah
I need [Incomprehensible]

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 a while, 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 a 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
Child on a painted horse
Streams that will run their course
Gone to a far away shore
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Days of another kind
Frost gets a bruising vine
Why did the carpenter die
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Sweet as a rose so fine
Peaceful as a final time
How old could the lion man cry
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Thoughts of a winter moon
Warm in a distant room
Why did I fall asleep so soon
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
She walked into the room her hand upon her hip
Said, "Look out boy I'll make your backbone slip"
Straight at me, the devil in her eye
I knew what I was getting but took it by surprise
No fooling
She knocked the stuffing out of me
She's some woman
Hard lovin' woman
Chewed [Incomprehensible]
Some woman
She's a hard lovin' woman
Some woman
She's a hard lovin' woman
Never wear nothing but a smile upon her face
Licking her lips but I had the taste
Temperature was rising I was coming to the boil
Fires were burning she was pouring oil
No fooling
She knocked the stuffing out of me
She's some woman
Hard lovin' woman
She's some woman
She's a hard lovin' woman
She's some woman
She's a hard lovin' woman
It started with a smile, it turned into a laugh
It ended with a scream I said, "Enough's enough"
Never heard a word she wouldn't let go
A man's a man and every woman ought to know
And there I was and she was dancing
Some woman
Hard lovin' woman, here we go again
Some woman
She's a hard lovin' woman
Some woman
She's a hard lovin' woman
Some woman
She's a hard lovin' woman
Some woman
She's a hard, hard, hard lovin' woman
She, she, she, she
She, she, she, she
She was a, she was a
She was a hard lovin' woman
You think that I don't feel love
But what I feel for you is real love
In other's eyes I see reflected
A hurt, scorned, rejected
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, born in poverty
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, take a look at me
I started my life in an old, cold run down tenement slum
My father left, he never even married mom
I shared the guilt my mama knew
So afraid that others knew I had no name
This love we're contemplating
Is worth the pain of waiting
We'll only end up hating
The child we maybe creating
Love child, never meant to be
Love child, (scorned by) society
Love child, always second best
Love child, different from the rest
Mm, baby (hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
Mm, baby (hold on, hold on, just a little bit)
I started school, in a worn, torn dress that somebody threw out
I knew the way it felt, to always live in doubt
To be without the simple things
Sop afraid my friends would see the guilt in me
Don't think that I don't need you
Don't think I don't wanna please you
No child of mine 'll be bearing
The name of shame I've been wearing
Love child, love child, never quite as good
Afraid, ashamed, misunderstood
But I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
I'll always love you
(Verse)
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
(Chorus)
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
(Verse)
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
(Chorus 2)
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
(Bridge)
When we’re moving, connection
Well bring me to the main view
It seems to want distraction
But what I need
(Chorus)
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
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, baby baby 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
'Cause it gets stronger as the river flows
And it gets deeper baby, Heaven knows
It gets higher, so 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, baby baby baby
Well, I love you baby like a flower loves a spring
And I love you baby like a robin likes to sing
And I love you baby like a schoolboy likes his pie
Oh, and 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, baby baby baby
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, baby baby baby
Remind me to tell you
bout the old silver miner
name of hard rock Pete
had his house built on a slope
They say one of his legs
lived in Calico
Ther's a rumour going round
that the other lived in hope
So I walked in the room
and I stopped
I turned around
and looked over my shoulder
And a voice close beside me said
You'd better watch your head
the party's over
It wasn't long before
the waitress came over and said
Can I freshen up your drink
and have you heard of these boys
and if you feel included
to buy some cowboy boots
Well it's not that bad
we can talk above the noise
So I sucked on my beer
Shut my eyes
and tried to listen to the words
I know I missed the meaning
but the message
was something I'd already heard
Johnny Ringo's voice
is getting deeper
and now he's going to put
another lock on the door
The night is getting later
My head is getting lighter
The mood is getting darker
Tequila's being poured
So I smile
at the old gunslinger
in his frame on the wall
as he pushed back his hat
And it's all coming back
I'd cut a long story short
but it's much too late for that
Somebody stole my guitar
They took it from
the back seat of my car
I was sleeping in Memphis
in my hotel room
and somebody stole my guitar
Consider your position position your defense
Why don't you let me ask you is it mere coincidence
Feeding speculators on a downhill gravy train
Like vultures ripping out the eyes to reach the dying brain
Listen to the wind - a silent scream
Tearing at your broken heart
Like a forgotten dream
And there's a time for peace a time for war
Wondering what we've been put here for
A time for giving a time to take
A time for love and a time for hate
A time for beg and a time to steal
So you gamble on that spinning wheel
Of all these things I've had my fill
Lord I need some time to kill
Ten percent of nothing is exactly what you got
You thing you've got the given right to take another shot
I'll take away your money all you've got is coloured beads
Find a piece of land where you can sow your seeds
Listen to the wind - a silent scream
Tearing at your broken heart
Like a forgotten dream
There's a time for passion a time for pain
A time to learn that we're all the same
A time to remember a time to forget
Wondering how we're going to pay our debts
A time for thunder a time for rain
Waiting for the seasons to change
Of all these things I've had my fill
Lord I need some time to kill
Talking real world, all that pain
Try to fix it still comes out the same
Get down to Rosie's
Won't you pull that plug
Last week
Someone made a mess of that rug
Talking big house way up town
One day one day
I'll put the money down
All that baby talk it's for the birds
Let's make some honey
Honey in so many words
Oh no
Don't want a serious conversation
I just want to get you serious
Serious
I want to talk about love
You talk about the weather
Rain or snow
Talking cold wind
The way it's going to blow
Talking good times night and day
Talk talk a stronger man
Could lose his way
Aphrodite now there's a girl
Good good loving
She spreads around the world
Forget your dancing all that boogaloo
Drag that purse over here
I got to talk to you
Oh no
Don't want a serious conversation
I just want to get you serious
Serious
I want to talk about love
(Verse)
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
(Chorus)
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
(Verse)
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
(Chorus)
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
(Verse)
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!
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
You know my will is broken, you've got my heart on hold
I'm lying here in pieces, so cold
It gets so hard to handle, all the things you need to say
But I guess I heard it all before anyway
Is love such a blessing or a curse? Either way, truth hurts
Well, there'll be no more running, now I've got you face to face
I want to know who you've been loving in my place
You say I had it coming, try to hold my head up high
Love gave me wings and left me paralyzed
There's nothing left alive as we watch the spirits die
The world keeps turning, my heart keeps learning
Do you know where the guilty sleep
Babe, I've got my pride, somehow I will survive
The world keeps turning, my heart keeps learning
Do you know where the lonely sleep tonight
Another fallen angel, how far I just can't tell
Living without love is a living hell
Why is love such a blessing or a curse
Baby either way truth hurts
Babe, I've got my pride, somehow I will survive
My heart keeps learning, don't know which is worse
Good golly said little Miss Molly
Whe she was rockin in the house
of the blue light
Tooty Fruity was oh so rotty
Rockin to the east and west
Loucile was oh so real
When she didn't do her daddy's will
Come on baby,drive me crazy
You can do it,you can do it
I'm a speed king,hear me sing
Yes,i'm a speed king,see me fly
Sat night and i just got paid
Gonna fool about now aint gonna save
People gonna rock,people gonna roll
Gonna have a party to save my soul
Heard headed woman,soft heart man
they been causin trouble since it all began
Take a little rice,take a little beans
gonna rock and roll down to
New Orleans
Cause i'm a speed king
hear me sing,speed king,see me fly
Good golly said little Miss Molly
Whe she was rockin in the house
of the blue light
Tooty Fruity was oh so rotty
Rockin to the east and west
Heard headed woman,soft heart man
they been causin trouble since it all began
Take a little rice,take a little beans gonna rock and roll down to
It feels like the end
When you're closer to losing your dreams
than losing a friend
Flying blind
I'm shooting into the dark
Who will I find
Oh girl
And if it takes me a lifetime
I swear I'll tear down every wall
Love conquers all mmm
On my way
Tomorrow I'll rise with the sun
Soon I'll be gone
Baby
Words can't say
How the memories of feelings of love that linger on
Oh girl
And if it takes me forever
I know it's worth every teardrop that falls
Love conquers all yeah yeah
Somewhere there's a place in your heart
Where the wounds never heal (you're not alone)
Well you're not alone that's just how I feel
Oh ooh ooh oh
Love conquers all
This one will last a lifetime
And love conquers all
There's a black hill we had to climb
Everything I need but nothing is mine
Satan's world, how 'bout a kill
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?
Laying 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 have what's naturally mine?
I got life and the thing that goes with it
If there's something else, where can I get it?
Laying 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 wanna do are yesterday's news
Say life's a ball, I've had it all
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, excuse for a man
Whenever I push someone stops my hand
As a matter of interest, tell me if you will
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?
Laying there waiting, waiting for the kill
Oh, man won't do it but the devil will
Oh, why won't Rosemary take the pill?
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill the first day?
Oh, lying there waiting, waiting for the kill
If you're leaving close the door.
I'm not expecting people anymore.
Hear me grieving, I'm lying on the floor.
Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure.
I'm a blind man
I'm a blind man and my world is pale.
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know there ain't no sadder tale.
Had a friend once in a room,
had a good time but it ended much too soon.
In a cold month in that room
we found a reason for the things we had to do.
I'm a blind man
I'm a blind man, now my room is cold.
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know he feels it from his soul.
I'm a blind man
I'm a blind man, now my room is cold.
When a blind man cries
Infidel can you hear, would be strange delight
I need you to give your sympathy tonight
When you hear what I say, deeds I've done
Realize I've never lost and never won
I've got a feeling that it's never right
There was a reason but it's out of sight
It's going down somewhere tonight
Under the gun
Put death in my hand, learn to fight
Who could care if it's wrong or if it's right
We got no choice under command
We're ordered to die or take this land
Stupid bastards and religious freaks
So safe in their castle keeps
They turn away as a mother weeps
Under the gun
When brave men fall under crimson skies
There's a sadness reflected in a soldier's eyes
Tears will dry for those I kill
Remember no more their names but someone will
The only way to be victorious
Screw the fools who think it's glorious
Who gives a toss about the likes of us
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
Listen to me I've got a warning for you
You've got to learn to take more care
'Cos if you swim in dirty water
Be careful how you dry your hair
In a room within a room
In a hole within a hole
You've got to learn to share your secrets
Or you'll lose your soul
I've got the evidence I know you're broke
The unwritten law
Another town, another one-night stand
You know, you broke the law
It's so hard to hold back
When the fire is in your eyes
A silver dollar in my pocket
I don't like surprises
I've got your souvenir
Is that the price I've got to pay
It ain't been that long
Since the last charade
I've got the evidence I know you're broke
The unwritten law
Another town, another one-night stand
You know, you broke the law
I know you're guilty
But I'm carrying the blame
I took out much more than I put in
And I felt the pain
In a dirty little room
With nowhere left to hide
You told the truth with your eyes
But you lied inside
I've got the evidence I know you're broke
The unwritten law
Another town, another one-night stand
You know, you broke the law
I've got the evidence I know you're broke
The unwritten law
Another town, another one-night stand
No one sees the things you do
Because I stand in front of you
But you drive me all the time
Put evil in my mind
Used to sing and say my prayers
Live my life without a care
Now I have become a fool
Because I listened to the mule
How can I change when my mind is a friend of a Lucifer hid in the ground
There's a full time reservation
Made in a bar at the railway station.
And there's a story, a kind of fable,
On a card at the corner table.
On it is a message, been there some time.
It starts off, "The coffee tasted so fine"
It says, "One day, this may find you,
These few words may just remind you.
We sat here together just to pass time,
You said how the coffee tasted so fine."
It goes on to say, "I love you.
If you should find this I must hear from you."
It gives a number but the name has faded away.
All that is left are just the words, "Maybe someday"
That's the story and the fable,
Never leave alone from a corner table.
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo,
Been so many words so much to say
Words are not enough to keep the guns at bay
Some live in fear some do not
Some gamble everything on who gets the final shot
Oh don’t talk to me of love
It’s obvious it’s not enough
Annihilation kill them all
Capitulation watch the mighty fall
The road to glory is lined in red
And though the reason now is gone
The battle rages on
Was it love or hate that got here first
Hate’s a habit it’s hard to shake the curse
Kill to live and live to die
Human nature you let the strong survive
Oh don’t talk to me of love
Be serious it’s not enough
Annihilation kill them all
Capitulation watch the mighty fall
The road to glory is lined in red
And though the reason now is gone
You're all looking up with hearts of devotion
Through the dust and the heat lost to me in a cloud of emotion
I have no motivation to keep up this breathless pace
I'm more inclined to stay here in this breathing space
And the sun goes down
And the moon comes up
I never tried to walk the walk 'cause the steps are elusive
The membership is too costly and exclusive
Hey, the more I've got, the more I stand to lose
So I'm gonna unpack my bags and take off my shoes
And the sun goes down
And the moon comes up
And the sun goes down
The sun goes down
Let me tell you there's no point knocking at the big oak door
It's all full up, they can't take no more
And oh, the line's so long, it's almost Disney
Ooh, won't somebody kiss me?
And the sun goes down
And the moon comes up
And the sun goes down
There once was a woman
A strange kind of woman
The kind that gets written down in history
Her name was Nancy
Her face was nothing fancy
She left a trail of happiness and misery
I loved her
Everybody loved her
She loved everyone and gave them good return
I tried to take her
I even tried to break her
She said I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn
I want you I need you I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you I need you I gotta be near you
Ooh I got a strange kind of woman
She looked like a raver
But I could never please her
On Wednesday mornings boy you can't go far
I couldn't get her
But things got better--she said
Saturday nights from now on baby you're my star
She finally said she loved me
I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glowed with pride
I'm dreaming
I feel like screaming
I won my woman just before she died
I want you I need you I gotta be near you
I spent my money as I took my turn
I want you I need you I gotta be near you
Comin' out of nowhere
Drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way
Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed
Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider
On the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down
Meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning
Heading your way
Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed
Coming out of nowhere
Drivin' like a-rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
On the lonely road I'm travelling on
The road that leads nowhere
As the ground and the sky have been wondering why
I'm alone, so alone
I've been rolling on for just two years
The sun is my only friend
With the wind on the bend and my back in my hand
I'm alone, so alone
I'm alone, so alone
I'm alone, so alone
I'm alone, so alone
And I feel like going home
With my money spent, my clothes all torn
My spirit hanging low
I ain't got no friends where the highway ends
I'm alone, so alone
I'm alone, so alone
I'm alone, so alone
I'm alone, so alone
And I feel like going home
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
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, now
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
But burning down
You know, they burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
He was pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race, now
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky, burning, burning
Smoke on the water
Down to the ground
Hear you play
You know now, we ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
With the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
Few red lights and a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know, I know we'll never forget, now
Smoke on the water
A fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
Everywhere, everywhere
See me burn, alright now
It was tumblin' down
Burn, burn, burn, yeah
It's burning down, oh baby
It's burning down
It's burning down
Burning down
Deep Purple Burn (1974)
Sail Away
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.
Changes, visible changes
Sky looking so forlorn
It looks like the world being 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
Ba ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Sun starts shining on through
New world, my world 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
Ba ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba ba ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Found some money in an old black jacket
I'm going out tonight, gonna find me a woman or two
I don't know how long it'll last but I never regret the past
Oh, when I wake up tomorrow I'll be lookin' around for you
I got no reason to be down at the station
I got no ticket but I'm gonna take a fucking ride
Don't care where I go, I never seem to know
I never had a penny but I never wondered why
Ohh, I never wondered why
If I'm cold, I need some heat
If I'm hungry then I eat
I'm not responsible
I woke up this mornin' and I couldn't find my shoes
Drunk long party and I haven't seen the sun for days
I'd take you out tonight but I'm just a little light
So let's go out anyway, you'll be amazed
I take my woman to the palace dancing
I never could've made it but the doorman is a friend of mine
So I raise a glass to you, that foot is on the other shoe
You can pay the bill and while you're at it pick up mine
Oh, no no, I don't mind
If it rains I stay inside
If I'm scared I run and hide
I'm not responsible, ohh oh
If I'm cold, I need some heat
If I'm hungry then I eat
I'm not responsible
I'm not responsible
Ohh, not cold, no, no, no
I'm not responsible, no, no
I'm not responsible
I'm not, I'm not responsible
Yea, not not not not not not not not not not not
Not not not responsible, no
Dreaming about my love.
You bring me joy and hours of happiness,
More or less.
I dream my life away.
Waiting for you to come.
Changing my life for you to emptyness,
Meaningless.
Minutes just drift by.
I don't care if I get nowhere.
I can just dream and you'll be there.
What else is there to do?
Dreaming about my life.
Where are you now, and when will you
Come to me?
I dream my life away.
I don't care if I get nowhere.
I can just dream and you'll be there.
What else is there to do?
Dreaming about my love;
You bring me joy and hours of happiness,
More or less.
I dream my life away.
Maybe it's because I'm only starting
That I think it won't take too long
Maybe it's because I can see you laughing
That I think you've got it wrong
Maybe I could be like Robin Hood
Like and outlaw dressed all in green
Someone said what's he gonna turn out like
And someone else said never mind
Well I was big and bold and more than twice as old
As all the cats I'd ever seen
I grew my hair and bought a suit
Of shiny white or was it cream
I shook and shivered danced and quivered
And stood on a mountain top
No one came from miles around and said
Man your music is really hot
Well I knew what they meant because I was a freak
My throat was tired and worn
My pretty face just looked out of place
As they poured on the scorn
I wrote on yellow paper from a man who was the king
He said my boy we'll have some crazy scenes
There weren't any scenes at all like he was talkin' about
He must've been the king of queens
Well I could write a million songs about the things I've done
But I could never sing them so they'd never get sung
There's a law for the rich and one for the poor and there's another one for sing
It's die young and live much longer
Spend your money and sit and wonder
No one came for miles around
And said man your music is really funky
I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star
Nobody knows who's real and who's fakin'
Everyone's shouting out loud
It's only the glitter and shine that gets through
Where's my Robin Hood outfit
Well I've come and I've gone before you wink an eye
No one ever cared enought to say goodbye
The money's good and the time you have
Fun and games galore
But you spend your money and lie in bed forgotten
And you wonder what you did it for
No one came from miles around
She came home last night, rockin' rollin' drunk
She talk no sense but she sound good so she thunk
So I reached over and said, "Hello
There's some planet you'd care to go?"
And she said, "Venus on the rocks"
So I said "She got a mean streak"
Black mamba, no compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet
She drive me crazy gets inside my brain
She spun my money down the drain, ohh
So I roll over for my reward
How much can I afford?
She says, "Just a little more"
You know, she got a mean streak
Black mamba, no compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet
She got a mean streak
Black mamba, no compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet
I can't take this no more
Tried so hard but I can't get through the door
Because one smile from those eyes
And I stand there paralyzed
And she says, "You better beg for more I mean
Get down sucker you know what I like"
Woo hang on
Black mamba don't compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet
She got a mean streak
Black mamba don't compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet
Mean streak, ooo
(Ooo)
Mean streak, ooo
She got a mean streak
(Yea ooo)
She got a mean streak
And I'm telling you
Mean streak
Ohh ohh ohh
Mean streak,ooo
Mean streak
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 ?
Don't look too long in my face, it could be a big mistake
I'm hangin' on a thread so fine, I need a little space
I shouldn't say
But I know, know I must
I've had enough of pain, I'm pissed off standing in the rain
It makes me feel like a mad dog
I've got nothin' to lose
A mad dog
You've got nothin' I can use
A mad dog
Howlin' at the moon
A mad dog
I need no friends, I'm on the edge of a broken dream
Laughin' at the pain, but it makes me want to scream
And I should have known, she'd be no no good
She tore my heart in two, but I don't need to talk to you
You make me feel like a mad dog
I've got nothin' to lose
A mad dog
You've got nothin' I can use
A mad dog
Howlin' the moon
Mad dog
She said, "A hard man is good to find"
And then she raised her doubts
All that I could give she took, and then she threw me out
Well, I don't care, I don't care anymore
I'm going to lose my grip, I'm going to let it rip
Ow, wow, yeaow yeah!
A mad dog
I've got nothin' to lose
A mad dog
You've got nothin' I can use
A mad dog
Howling at the moon
A mad dog
A mad dog
A mad dog
A mad dog
A mad dog
Black night is not right
I don't feel so bright
I don't care to sit tight
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
I don't need a dark tree
I don't want a rough sea
I can't feel, I can't see
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
Black night is a long way from home
Black night, black night
I don't need black night
I can't see dark light
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
That I'm free, free to be me
My shoes are heavy
My feet are winding down
I look for her in comers
But she's not around
What I eat is eating me
It hits me hard
I'm one jack short f a royal flush
A stranger holds the card
Here come the salvation in the shape of my guitar
And I'm gonna ride it like a shooting star
I don't want your money
I don't want your soul
I don't need a reason
I just want to get right down and lick it up
Mother Mercy told t me
A picture never lies
She told me no self respecting hero
Ever cries
The prisoner walks in circles
The victim walks alone
Scissors cut the paper
The paper wraps the stone
Standing at the entrance to the gates of paradise
The lights go down the heat goes up that's when I cry
I don't want your money
I don't want your soul
I don't need a reason
I just want to get right down and lick it up
I put my faith in fourtune reaching for the sky
The only game in town that gets me high
I don't want your money
I just want to get right down and lick it up
I don't want your soul
I just want to get right down and lick it up
I don't need a reason
I keep singing the same old song
Like I did before
When you left me baby, you left me in darkness
I'd never known before
I was restless, a fool for your time
Waiting 'round for you to call me, baby
But now I've found me an angel of mercy
I don't feel bad at all
Your body was honey, I tasted a lot
But let me tell you babe, I need more than you got
I want someone to hold me
I need love, I need love
I've got nothing to do, baby, nothing to say
Just live your life the way you know
When you moved on you took all the sweetness
Was I a fool to let you go?
Now with a woman I forget for the moment
All the times we knew before
Though I'm still singing the same old love song
I don't want you knocking on my door
Your body was honey, I tasted a lot
But let me tell you babe, I need more than you got
I want someone to hold me and keep me satisfied
I need
I want someone to hold me, keep me satisfied
Your body was honey, I tasted a lot
But let me tell you babe, I need more than you got
I want someone to hold me
I need love, hey baby, I need love babe
I need love, you could give it to me
I need your love, I need your love
Love, your love, oh baby, baby
Baby, baby, want to know
Keep on lovin' me, keep on love
Keep on lovin' me baby, babe
Keep on lovin' me
In a dark and sweaty room in sixty nine
Tables turning
Dancing girls, silly girls, all kinds of girls
And it was loud
Tuning up to madness in the back room
Candles burning
Present the stinking hippy
And throw the naked thunder to the crowd
Oh in the hungry daze
The long and lonely highway drags along
It's going nowhere
Sickness and disease and mad corruption
Something's goin' wrong
The mountain's getting cold and lonely
The trees are bare
We all came out to Montreux
But that's another song you've heard it all before
In hungry daze
Back in the hungry daze
Back in hungry daze
Back in hungry daze, ahh
Along the mountain road to do some drinking
And now we're mobile again
Different girls, laughing girls, forever girls
And it's so loud
Crew have lost again, ahh
They are beaten men
The winning team united
Living for the crowd
These are the hungry daze
These are
These are the hungry daze
Hungry daze
Ohh ahh, hungry daze
Hungry daze
These are the hungry daze, ohh
Hungry daze
Hungry daze
Hungry daze
Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Ooh it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power big fat tyres
And everything
I love it and I need it, I bleed it
Yeah, it's a wild hurricane
Alright, hold tight
I'm a highway star
Nobody gonna take my girl
I'm gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl
She stays close on every bend
Ooh she's a killing machine
She got everything
Like a moving mouth body control
And everything
I love her, I need her, I seed her
Yeah, she turns me on
Alright, hold on tight
I'm a highway star
Nobody gonna take my head
I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head
Now that I'm on the road again
Ooh I'm in Heaven again
I got everything
Like a moving ground, an open road
And everything
I love it and I need it, I seed it
Eight cylinders all mine
Alright, hold on tight
I'm a highway star
Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Ooh it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power
Big fat tyres and everything
I love it and I need it, I bleed it
Yeah, it's a wild hurricane
Alright, hold on tight
I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star
Oh, my honey, take my money
I do what I wanna do
Don't you know the sun is shining
I'm sure trying, I ain't crying
My feet won't touch the ground
I ain't got no more misery
Spread the word I'm living again
Tell the world I'm loving again
Don't you know I feel like giving again
Freedom
No more walking or fast talking
No thing's gonna wear me out
I'm sure glad I wasn't born a fool, yeah
Someday, baby, you'll be my lady
I know that it won't be long
We ain't got no more misery
Spread the word I'm living again
Tell the world I'm loving again
Don't you know I feel like giving again
Freedom
Oh, honey, honey, honey
Taking all my money
I do what I really wanna do
Oh, the sun is shining
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried
I never, never cried
Oh, my feet won't touch the ground
I ain't got no more misery
Spread the word I'm living again
Tell the whole world I'm loving again
Don't you know I feel like giving again
Cast your eyes into the crystal
Deep inside the mystery
Is that a vision of a lonely man
I fear it looks a lot like me, yeah
Is that a man without a woman
Whose life is but a shell
Empty hearts will echo
Forever in the wishing well
Fortuneteller
Got to help me to find end to the nightmare, yeah
'Cause I can't stand this pain and the curse of time
Somewhere in your eyes I'll find the answer
Give me the truth I've been looking for
Be my guiding light, I'll take my chances
Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door
Some days come with a vengeance
Some days I feel so bad
And the mirror holds no secrets
I lost the best thing that I had
Fortuneteller
Can you help me to see? Is there an end to the sorrow
Or was this slow ride to nowhere always meant to be?
Somewhere in your eyes I'll find the answer
Give me the truth I've been looking for
Be my guiding light, I'll take my chances
Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door
She was always taking more than she'd need
But we were both to blame somehow
In the heat of the moment I told her to leave, yeah
I guess I lost more than I found but I remember, oh yeah
Help me to see
Fortuneteller
An end to my misery
Oh, ought to help me, yeah
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
Emmaretta, did you get my letter
I sent it to you, oh Emmaretta
Do you still feel when night is falling
Something calling, oh Emmaretta
Behind my thoughts, oh Emmaretta
I can get to you to feel better
I must go now, oh Emmaretta
Full moon's rising, oh Emmaretta
Oh, it's a thousand miles
Oh, and I need you child
Oh, they can drive me wild
What I feel can make it real
Help
Oh, it's a thousand miles
Oh, and I need you child
Oh, they can drive me wild
If what I feel can make it real
Emmaretta, did you get my letter
I sent it to you, oh Emmaretta
Do you still feel when night is falling
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 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 this 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 to unwind
Inside your mind
How many words I've wasted you don't want to here
Why not sit in silence, while the muddy walls clear
Why not take a moment to unwind
Inside your mind
After all we said today, the strangest thought occurred
Operator, I'm looking for a girl
You've got to help me get through
I don't know much about her
So I'm relying on you
She got rhythm but no sense of timing
She likes living but she's got no address
Operator, you've got to get me out of this mess
Let me tell you about her
She ain't got a face
She ain't got a name
She ain't got a leg to stand upon
She's out of touch but not out of mind
And I've got to see again that gypsy child
Operator, this is the call of the wild
She's a hitch-hiker, never gets a ride
But you can bet she's on time
She's always around but so hard to find
She causes trouble, she never takes offense
Dirty mind a heart of gold
Operator don't, don't you put me on hold, no
She ain't got a face
She ain't got a name
She ain't got a leg to stand upon
She's out of touch but not out of mind
And I've got to see again that gypsy child
Operator, this is the call of the wild
She ain't got a face
She ain't got a name
She ain't got a leg to stand upon
She's out of touch but not out of mind
And I've got to see again that gypsy child
Operator, this is the call of the wild
She ain't got a face
She ain't got a name
She ain't got a leg to stand upon
She's out of touch, not out of mind
She ain't got a face
Woke up this morning, the rain coming down
Washing the sin from the streets
Sometimes I feel like I'm losing ground
Just tryin' to make ends meet
Well, I work every day to sweat out my dreams
Won't you show me that you understand
But it's only my life, whatever that means
But you've got it all in your hands
Well, I need someone to pull me through
Won't you take the pain from my head
Give me all your loving, the way you always do
Baby, give me breakfast in bed
I feel like the good days are numbered
And my nights are getting too long
My hopes and my fears take their toll on the years
And my will power's almost gone
Well, it's a time full of trouble a time of desperate need
Sometimes life don't make any sense
Fighting the anger, jealousy and greed
One day I'll look back and wonder where it all went
Well, I need someone to pull me through
Won't you take the pain from my head, babe
Give me all your loving, the way you always do
Gonna give me breakfast in bed
Don't take much to please me
I'm just a simple man
And now, baby, please believe me
I gotta tell you
Don't take much tender touch
So baby, do the best that you can
Do the best you can
Now, I need someone to pull me through
Won't you take this pain from my head
Give me all your loving, the way you always do
Give me breakfast in bed
I need someone to pull me through
Won't you take the pain from my head
Give me all your loving, the way you always do
Baby, gonna give me breakfast in bed
Don't take much to please me
I don't let somebody say, huh
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
Give me all your loving, the way you always do
Honey give me breakfast in bed
Oh, the beggar on his cornerstone
Catches pity on 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 grains of snow
The sensation is not new to you
It's something you 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
Oh, the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the lover whose bird has flown
He has his heartache just the same as me
The sensation is not new to you
It's something you all have known
You get it, it goes right through you
Yes, it's something we all have known
And the bird has flown
Oh, the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the lover whose bird has flown
He has his heartache just the same as me
I can't stand it
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 was madly beating
My crazy thoughts are worrying
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
Hey Joe
Where you going with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe
Now tell me where you going with that gun in your hand?
I'm going down to shoot my lady
'Cos I caught her messing around with another man
Yes I'm going down to shoot my lady
'Cos I caught her messing around with another man
Hey Joe

Hey Joe

Way down south
Where I'm gonna be free
Ohh I'm going way down south
Way down south
Maybe outside Mexico way
I'm gonna run oh yeah
The world around us hangs in doubt
You face a crime that we'll hear about
To pay the cost would never be the same
Eternal lovers we're not to blame
There's no mistake there's no refrain
The same surroundings that stood
Are here again this time
As I look around you can't be found
To lose you I'd rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
This time around
This time around
So look around we all will be found
In love
The world around us hangs in doubt
You face a crime that we'll hear about
To pay the cost would never be the same
Eternal lover you're not to blame
There's no mistake there's no refrain
The same surroundings that stood
Are here again this time
As I look around you can't be found
To lose you I'd rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
This time around
This time around
To lose you I'd rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
Yeah
If you don't like what you see
If you can do better than me
You better walk on
And if the road before you winds
Obscuring all the signs
You better walk on
You mean more to me
Just a pretty face
I won't hold you down
You need a little space
If you don't like what you see
If you can do better than me
Better walk on
Well, you know I don't like to fight
No matter who's wrong or right
You better walk on
You better walk on
I don't mean to bring you down
If you prefer the other side of town
You better walk on
You better walk on
You've been troubled
Sleeping through the night
Deal with it in the daytime
Then you can turn off the light
And if you don't like what you see
If you can do better than me
You better walk on
You better walk on
Oh, girl I tried
You know I tried
And while I cried you lied
Oh, you better walk on
Well, the heart inside me burned
And the world around me turns
You better walk on
You better walk on
You know it won't be right away
You know we'll meet again someday
You better walk on
You better walk on
When the shine wears off
He's on to something new
Try not to think about
How good I was to you
Well, if you don't like what you see
If you can do better than me
Oh, you better walk on
You better walk on, hey, hey
You better walk on
You better walk on
You better walk on
Walk on, you better walk on
You better walk on
You better walk on
Tell me gypsy can you see me
In your crystal ball
I'm asking you what can I do
My back's against the wall
And I can't hold on much longer
So I've come to you my friend
For now my life seems at an end
I came to see you once before
One hundred years ago
You took my hand and broke the spell
That should have let me go
But my years have gone so slowly
So I'm here again my friend
Cast your eyes into the crystal
Deep inside the mystery
Is that a vision of a lonely man
I fear it looks a lot like me
Is that a man without a woman
Whose empty life is but a shell
Empty hearts will echo
Forever in the wishing well
Fortuneteller
You've got to help me find an end to the nightmare
'Cause I can't stand this pain and the curse of time
Somewhere in your eyes I'll find the answer
Give me the truth I've been looking for
Be my guiding light, I'll take my chances
Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door
Some days come with a vengeance
Some days I feel so bad
The mirror holds no secrets

Fortuneteller
Can you help me to see, is there an end to the sorrow
Or was this slow ride to nowhere always meant to be
Somewhere in your eyes I'll find the answer
Give me the truth I've been looking for

Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door
She always taking more than she'd need
But we were both to blame somehow
In the heat of the moment I told her to leave
I guess I lost more than I found
Wake up in the morning
Get into bed
Closing my eyes
I rest my head
There is no arrangement
No time no place
It's gone in the wind
And left no trace
Who can say, maybe or whatever,
It's up to you
You know you can trust me
I'll make it up to you
You move with the action
You loosen my strings
Your fingers can smooth out my jangles
And all those things
Grease on the handle and the tangles in my hair
They always seem to go together
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
Waoh flying through the night in a beat up wagon
A mike stand up my jacksy
And give me a beer and I'll stand on a chair
And slip into something sexy
Waoh The Black Cat Woolwich,
The Tiger's Head, The Cafe des Artistes
The Revolution and the Bag O' Nails,
I'll see you down the Speak'
Well your Ma said you slept real good in your food last night
But you couldn't hold it down
But you broke up a real good fight
Ligging at the Old Marquee, spinning Jack a line
Even he knew better than me in sixty nine
Sixty nine, sixty nine
Sixty nine, sixty nine
On the road to Paradiso
Back of your head, got to pay some dues
Rugged looked down
As the Thames swallowed his life at the Boathouse, Kew
Hot girls, no AC, cheap TV, sleep on the floor
Hallelujah, what's a roadie, hush my baby sleep no more
Your Ma said you slept real good in your food last night
You couldn't hold it down
But you broke up a real good fight
Gigging at the Old Marquee, spinning Jack a line
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
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,
She was a juke-box dancer
A blue eyed gypsy queen
She always had an answer
For what she'd done
And where she'd been
A feathercane Lady Midnight
For all around to see
She spoke with words of wisdom
And this is what she said to me
Lady luck
C'mon give me what I want
Pull me up
Lady luck
If I see you again
I will call you my friend
I have always been a sinner
But then the lady came along
She stole my heart and turned me 'round
'Till I didn't know right from wrong
She whispered words of kindness
I'd never ever heard before
Golden words and silver tongue
Till I really couldn't take no more
Lady luck
C'mon give me what I want
Pull me up
Lady luck
If I see you again
I will call you my friend
Mother nature's been good to me
That's why I'm sittin in this cherry tree
But it's alright, it's alright
It's not so bad
I'm just a touch away
The shady lady
from shady lane
is lying in my bed again
and it's alright
it feels good
It's not so bad
When she's just a touch away
Nothing much
is all I ask
and it's alright, ok yes
Light as a feather, oh yes
Like a rosebud
when the sun is high
She opens up
before my eyes
and the light falls
on her wet skin
It's alright
I'm just a touch away
Nothing much
is all I know
and it's alright, oh yes
Light as a feather,
and just a touch away
Put a finger to her lips again
She cries with pleasure
cries wih pain
and it's alright
It feels good
It's not so bad
We're just a touch away
Nothing much
is all I know
Not too fast
Not too slow
and it's alright
Soft as a feather
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 Woman
She ain't the kind to turn
At the drop of her name
Well all the things she does
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
Kentucky Woman
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, yes I do, I love her
Kentucky Woman
She gets to know you
She gets to hold you
Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman
Kentucky Woman
If you're in the right city at the right time
What's the last thing going through your mind
Not talking 'bout your, ask no questions, you know it's a lie
You're just a victim of a corporate crime
All the signs of a shark attack
You've got rivers of blood on the streets, don't look back
Nothing personal, just another snack
'N Harley said you're better off sticking to your guns
Any fule kno that
Oh Moronica Queen of the Biz
And her friend Flash Harry thinks he knows what it is
Tin Pan Alley Fat Head Larry don't know shit
Just trying to keep her happy
There's no laughing in heaven, not the one, not the seven
And you'll never get to heaven in her row boat
Pea brain pisser, dog breath kisser
'N Harley said you're better off sticking to your guns
Any fule kno that
Any fule kno that
Any fule kno that
Oooh...
Won't it be nice
When everything falls into place
Salad days go a-tickling by
Have a high time, burn money in the meantime
They bleed you dry
Those suckers are smaller than life
Oh Moronica Queen of the Biz
And her friend Flash Harry thinks he knows what it is
Tin Pan Alley Fat Head Larry don't know shit
I'm better off sticking to my guns
Any fule kno that
Any fule kno that
Any fule kno that
Oooh...
Won't it be nice
When everything falls into place
Danny went down to the river one day
Didn't come back, that's the last, they say
We ever saw of him, that's no lie
Spitting in your eye, have no fear
You don't want the truth
Stick your finger in your ear
Any fule kno that
Any fule kno that
Any fule kno that
You keep on moving
Far away far away
You keep on moving
Far away far away
Everyday wheels are turning
And the cry still returning
Dawn will soon be breaking
The day has just begun
You put your arms around me
Like a circle 'round the sun
Dance across the seasons
To a place that no one knows
Where angels fear to tread
Nothing I can do about it
Maybe I won't even try
Your will is determined to kill any
Reason of mine
I see you coming
With that look in your eye
You act like a king, but you ain't got a thing
In your mind
And now there's nobody home
My belly is aching
Your image is blown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobody's home
You talk about love and affection
If only you could
You're full of pride, but there's nothing inside
And you think you're so good
You know you got it coming to ya
All things return
You need me
It's not gonna be my concern
And now there's nobody home
Your message is changing
The children have grown
Your lights are burning bright
But nobody's home
I hear you crying
What can I say?
You get what you give so
Forgive me as I turn away
Nobody's home
A legend is dying
The seeds have been sown
Your lights are burning bright
My mama showed me how to rock in the cradle
But I learned how to roll along
My papa said "son, gotta git some fun,
Cos when your old it ain't too good on your own"
Been so long since you heard my song
Gonna pick up my guitar and play
Felt so bad when I had to leave you
But I knew that I'd be back some day
So I'm comin' home
To give you more than you bargained for
Comin' home
No mistake I'm gonna shiver 'n' shake
Comin' home
Gonna rock 'n' roll an' give you my soul
Comin' home
I got over the pain I'm comin' home again
Groovin to American Bandstand
B.B. onstage with 'Lucille'
The thrill is gone but it won't be for long
Cos you know I like to play how you feel
Now that we're back together
Gonna shiver 'n' shake all night
I just gotta say the music I play
Will sure enough make you feel alright
Though I learned how to rock in the cradle
An' rollin' came so easy to me
All the years I travelled the world
Made it so clear to see
It's been so long since you heard my song
Gonna pick up my guitar 'n' play
Felt so bad when I had to leave you
But I knew that I'd be back some day
Comin' home
To give you more than you baragained for
Comin' home
No mistake I'm gonna shiver and shake
Comin' home
Gonna rock 'n' roll and give you my soul
Comin' home
I got over the pain I'm comin' home again
Comin' home
Shiver 'n' shakin' anticpatin'
Comin' home
It doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong
It really doesn't mean a thing
It doesn't matter if you like my song
As long as you can hear me sing
'Cause I'm the thorn in every little girl's rose
You know I cut but never bleed
A shadow in the night, pure delight
I can satisfy your every need
I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm fantasy man
Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar of love, second hand hero... King of Dreams
Don't make a difference what you got
It doesn't matter what you lose
Don't make a difference if you like it or not
Baby I'm gonna change your attitude
'Cause all around me there is mystery and wonder
Now can't you see it in my eyes
I'll crack the sky, make you feel the thunder
You'll never see through my disguise
I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm fantasy man
Master of illusion, with my sleight of hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar for love, second hand hero... King of Dreams
All around, all around
Emotional squeeze through again and again
I know how to please you, your mind is on the bend
Can't you feel the power, surrender in my arms
Beyond the witching hour we're travelling on and on
I'm a real smooth dancer, I'm fantasy man
Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand
The stages are empty when I steal the scenes
A beggar of love, second hand hero... King of Dreams
I'm a real smooth dancer, fantasy man
Master of illusion, sleight of hand
The stages are empty when I steal the scenes
You stare into the room, nothing there but space
No sign of any message gone without a trace
But I don't want your pity, if that's what you think
I'll take my comfort from this hole I'm sinking in
Waste my time, drink my wine, take my money
That's alright, I don't mind but don't try to be funny
Don't make me good
Don't make me mad
Don't make me fly
Don't make me happy
It's nice here in this room, you would like it, yes you would
It's got a bed, two chairs and a table, I'd leave here if I could
There's a man standing up who's down on his knees
Outside the cold wind sends a shiver through the trees
On the line, left behind, under pressure
It's so bad, leave me be, I don't want to get better
Don't make me good
Don't make me mad
Don't make me fly
Don't make me happy
I don't care what you think but think about this
It could have been somebody else, beware of what you wish
Now the door is closed, locked and sealed
And now you think you know how rejection feels
Waste my time, drink my wine, take my money
That's alright, I don't mind but don't try to be funny
Don't make me good
Don't make me mad
Don't make me fly
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.
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And none of us could reach that high
She came on like a teaser
I had to touch and please her
Enjoy a little paradise
The lock was in my pocket
When Lucy met the rocket
She never knew the reason why
I can't deny it
With that smile on her face
Oh it's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
It's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running
It's not against the law
The point of no return
And now you know the score
And now you're learning
What's knockin' at your back door
Sweet Nancy was so fancy
To get into her pantry
Had to be the aristocracy
The members that she toyed with
At city club were something in diplomacy
So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues
And now she eases gently
From her Austin to her Bentley
Suddenly she feels so young
I can't deny it
With that smile on her face
Oh it's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
It's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running
No it's not against the law
The point of no return
Now how you know the score
And now you're learning
What's knockin' at your back door
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And one of us could reach that high
I can't deny it
With that smile on my face
Oh oh, it's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
Knocking at your door
You know it's no good running
No it's knocking at your door
Orange juice,
Just thinkin bout that orange orange juice
orange juice,
just thinkin bout that orange orange juice
Some peeps
say orange juice is yellow
but I say
orange juice is mellow
with a lil more orange
in that orange orange juice
Orange juice,
Just thinkin bout that orange orange juice,
orange juice,
just thinkin bout that orange orange juice
Some peeps,
say orange juice is yucky
but I say
orange juice is lucky
with a lil more spunk
in that orange orange juice
Orange juice,
just thinkin bout that orange orange juice,
orange juice,
just thinkin bout that orange orange ju-u-u-u-uice.
How can I see
When the light is gone out
How can I hear
When you speak so silently
More than enough
Is never too much
Hold out a hand
I'm so out of touch
Do unto me
As your heart would have you do
Looks on my head
Cannot get the message through
Sword in my hand
Can cut through the wood
Peace in my heart
Can summon the mood
What shall I do
When they stand smiling at me
Look at the floor
And be oh so cool
Oh so cool
How shall I know
When to start singing my song
What shall I do
If they all go wrong
What shall I do
Yeah, I'm going down
Going down, down, down, down, down I'm going down Going down, down,
down, down, down
Got my head out the window my feet are on the ground
I got my feelers out
Pleasure I can give you pain
I'm the demon of misfortune
Let me tell you that bad luck is my game
Fires burning make you cold
You can touch but you can't hold
It's an even split
Between zip and the number on your ticket
Nothing to brag about dragging in the dirt
I'm a nasty piece of work
Down get down on your knees
Running gonna bring you down
I'm the demon of disorder
You know I'm gonna drive you into the ground
As you're stepping through the door
My shadow crawls across your floor
Your dream of love
It's not enough it's gonna come to nothing
You ain't seen nothing it's gonna get worse
I'm a nasty nasty
It's an even split
Between zip and the number on your ticket
Your dream of love
It's not enough it's gonna come to nothing
Nothing to brag about dragging in the dirt
You ain't seen nothing it's gonna get worse
I'm a nasty piece of work
My clothes don't fit and I have no point of view
I got a bad reputation but I don't believe it's true
I had something going but I blew it down the can
Not exactly what I planned
I'm a ramshackle man
That's what I am
I look like a joker but I feel like a one eyed jack
Shuffling around never get to the top of the park
I said to the dealer put the ace in my hand
But he couldn't give a damn
I'm a ramshackle man
That's what I am
I sit down thinking bout the things I have to do
I start out fine then I pick up something new
Stumbled through the door that's how it all began
Now it's buried in the sand
I'm a ramshackle man
That's what I am
The stars shine bright when the boys come out to play
Never feeling more than I'm feeling right here today
I used to be fresh but now I'm second hand
I do what I can
I'm a ramshackle man
That's what I am
I've been to places where the sun goes down
Each day and never rises
I've been to places in a dark room
Where we played with our disguises
Heaven, I'm in heaven
I'm in seventh heaven now
Seventh heaven
It was a dream, I heard a voice
I put it down to wishful thinking
It was a dream, a silent scream
Out of the blue, a new beginning
Heaven, I'm in heaven
I'm in seventh heaven now
Seventh heaven
And then I fell upon a stroke of luck
That led to my good fortune
And then I fell upon my knees
And gently kissed the ground you walk on
Heaven, I'm in heaven
I'm in seventh heaven now
Seventh heaven
This baggage handcuffed to my wrists
I drag it everywhere I go
Sometimes I fight you with my fists
But if I knew which way was home
That's where I'd go, if I knew which way was home
Before the karma cut me free
I'm sick of my own company
Sometimes I miss the boat
Most times I miss my home
Thats where I'd go, if I knew which way was home
Run down ghost trail, no chance for love
No sign of life, just wild dogs howlin' in the night
Oh, that's what I like
Before the karma cut me loose
Would bring my whiskey and my water
Sometimes I get them blues
Though I know I shouldn't oughta
Thats where I'd go, if I knew which way was home
Run down ghost trail, no chance for love
No sign of life, just wild dogs howlin' in the night
Run down ghost trail, no chance for love
No sign of life, just wild dogs howlin' in the night
Run down ghost trail, no chance for love
No sign of life, just wild dogs howlin' in the night
Hear 'em howl
Door
Don't close the door
I want to feel the cold
I want to see the light
Momma where you gone
This is no dream
Can't make it right if it's wrong
Dancing with strangers
Fighting with friends
It's a matter of time between love and despair
Falling over the line
Empty hearts and icy stares
Call me Solitaire
The eyes
In the face on the wall
Follow me round the room
Follow me everywhere
A heart without an echo
A man without a child
Alone with all my sorrow
Dancing with strangers
Fighting with friends
It's a matter of time between love and despair
Falling over the line
Empty hearts and icy stares
Call me Solitaire

As long as you can hear me sing

You know I cut but never bleed
A shadow in the night, pure delight
I can satisfy your every need

Master of illusion, magic touch in my hand
All the stages are empty when I steal the scenes

Don't make a difference if you like it or not
Baby, I'm gonna change your attitude

Now can't you see it in my eyes

Going to Rosa's Cantina
Going to Rosa's Cantina
Hoping that she's still there
Going to Rosa's Cantina
Might have been
the dust in my eyes
the dust in my eyes
Could have been the neon cactus
Lighting up the desert sky
Must have been
the dust in my eyes
Some would call it suicide
Some would call it suicide
I would call it paradise
Some would call it suicide
Dancing on the table
Dancing on the table
Dancing on the table
when she's
drunker than she's able
Dancing on the table
Some would call it suicide
I would call it paradise
Some would call it suicide
Hell on earth
Is she right is she wrong
Will she sing another song
Wicked as it seems
right now
Rosa wants her baby back
Rosa wants her baby back
Since he's gone she's losing track
Rosa wants her baby back
Careful with that cadillac
Careful with that cadillac
Careful with that cadillac
Cold beer and a strange cigarette
Getting you high getting you wet
Falling in love falling out of debt
Straight gay black or white
Strutting in the dark hiding in the light
Doing it wrong doing it right just doing it
You got your life on the one hand
Mine in the other
I got the right we all got the right
One man's meat is the other man's lousy luck
One man's meat is someone's empty well
One man's meat is some guy's aching butt
One man's meat is another man's living hell
Short fat thick or thin
Take it in the gut take it on the chin
Living in glory living in sin
Hard day's work going down slow
Riding the road where the greengrass grows
Watching in die what d'you know
Watch it
You got your life on the one hand
Mine in the other
I got the right
One man's meat is the other man's lousy luck
One man's meat is someone's empty well
One man's meat is some guy's aching butt
One man's meat is another man's living hell

Watch him ride into the sunset
He'd have the little fat guy
right along his side
Echoing off the canyon, Hey Cisco
from Pancho 'n' pretty soon
the black sombrero would reply
Hey Pancho what's happening mi amigo
It's getting somewhere near the end,
this winding trail
When we've raced around the corner
for the final dusty time
Mr Renaldo 'n' Carillo's
going to jail
Can't open no more supermarkets
Duncan's sombrero's hanging
up there with his guns
Some cigarro sucking slag
under a chip Hollywood chandelier
Says 'Cisco, Kid you know
your day is done
Let me know how you are doin'
Mr Renaldo
if you need me I could be
a friend for life
There don't seem any point
...we should throw 'way
all these years
Why don't we saddle up
and ride out one more time
What they doing to my friend
What they doing to my man
Don't matter when
I'll stay to the end
Hey Cisco
Let's go out in style
We're going down together
When my deep purple falls over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to flicker in the sky
Through the mist of a memory you wander back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night once again I hold you tight
Though you're gone your love lives on when moonlight beams
And as long as my heart will beat lover we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
[ strings ]
Woooo, Wo-o-oo-wo-wo, Wo-o-oo-wo-wo, Wo-o-oo-wo-wo
When the deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle in the night
In the mist of a memory
You wander all back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night
Once again I hold you tight
Tho' you're gone your love lives on when light beams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
When the deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle
In the night
In the mist of a memory
You wander all back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night
Once again I hold you tight
Tho' you're gone your love lives on when moonlight
beams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lover, we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
When the deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle in the sky
In the mist of a memory you wander back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh
In the still of the night once again I hold you tight
Though you're gone
Your love lives on when moonlight beams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lovers we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams

*When the deep purple falls
Over sleepy garden walls
And the stars begin to twinkle in the sky
In the mist of a memory you wander back to me
Breathing my name with a sigh*
In the still of the night once again I hold you tight
Though you're gone
Your love lives on when moonlight beams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lovers we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams
And as long as my heart will beat
Sweet lovers we'll always meet
Here in my deep purple dreams

WHEN THE DEEP PURPLE FALLS
OVER SLEEPY GARDEN WALLS,
AND THE STARS BEGIN TO FLICKER IN THE SKY,
THROUGH THE MIST OF MEMORY
YOU WANDER BACK TO ME,
BREATHING MY NAME WITH A SIGH.
IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT
ONCE AGAIN I HOLD YOU TIGHT,

Over sleepy garden walls
(Over sleepy garden walls)
And the stars begin to twinkle

In the night (in the night)
In the mist of the memory
(In the mist of the memory)
You wander back to me
(You wander on back to me)
Breathing my name
(Breathing my name)
With a sigh (with a sigh)
In the still of the night
Once again, I hold you tight
