СПЕЦИАЛЬНО ИЗ АСЕЛЬКИНОЙ ФОНОТЕКИ
БИО:
Deep Purple образовались в 1968 году вокруг ударника Криса Куртиса (Chris Curtis, род. 26 августа 1942 года в Ливерпуле, Англия), до того игравшего в Searchers. Клавишник Джон Лорд (John Lord, род. 9 июня 1941 года в Лейсестере, Англия) и басист Ник Симпер (Nick Simper), вошедшие в первоначальный состав Deep Purple, до того играли в столь уважаемых по тем временам группах, как Artwoods и Johnny Kid And The Pirates. Они начали репетировать вместе с присоединившимся к ним Ричи Блэкмором (Ritchie Blackmore, род. 14 апреля 1945 года в Weston-super-Mare, Англия). Вскоре от группы отсоединился Куртис. Появились Дэйв Куртис (Dave Curtis) и барабанщик Бобби Вудман (Bobby Woodman), однако вскоре они, оказавшись не в состоянии сойтись с музыкальными запросами команды, также ушли. В команду пришли вокалист Род Эванс (Rod Evans) и Ян Пайс (Ian Paice), до того игравшие в Maze. Дебютный альбом назывался Shades Of Deep Purple. На альбоме были переработки известных песен; ковер-версия "Hush" даже вошла в пятерку американского хит-парада после того, как была выпущена отдельным синглом. Далее последовал гастрольный тур по Америке. Deep Purple хорошо принимались в США, но были малоизвестны у себя дома. Следующие 2 альбома также содержали переработки известных хитов, таких как "Kentucky Woman" (Neil Diamond) и "River Deep Mountain High" (Ike And Tina Turner), однако у команды уже начала складываться и собственная, не перенятая у других популярность. Уважение заслужили также гитарное мастерство Лорда и Ритчи Блэкмора. В июле 1969 в Deep Purple произошли кардинальные перестановки: были убраны оба Эванса и Симпер, и на их место пришли Ян Гиллан (Ian Gillan, род. 19 августа 1945 года в Hounslow, Middlesex, Англия) на вокал и Роджер Гловер (Roger Glover, род. 30 ноября 1945 года, Brecon, Wales) на бас; оба пришли из поп-группы Episode Six. Сформировавшийся состав в среде поклонников Deep Purple считается классическим. Сформированный в новом виде состав записал альбом Concerto For Group And Orchestra, с участием Лондонского Филармонического Оркестра. Его куда как более ортодоксальный последователь, альбом Deep Purple In Rock, закрепил команду как лидирующий heavy-metal акт американской рок-сцены и включил в себя такие нестареющие композиции, как "Speed King" и "Child In Time". Успех во многом произошел благодаря великолепной вокальной работе Яна Гиллана. К тому времени команду уже признали и в Англии. Сингл "Black Night" поднялся там в хит-парадах до второго места, "Strange Kind Of Woman" и также фигурировал в chart'ах, а альбомы "Fireball" и "Machine Head" были приняты весьма прилично. Сингл "Smoke On The Water", включенный в названный альбом, считается классикой heavy-metal. Однако, альбом "Who Do We Think We Are?" уже ознаменовывал окончание периода безоговорочного успеха группы, так как не содержал никакого действительно нового материала. Из группы ушли Ян Гиллан и Гловер, поставив команду если не на грань распада, то в довольно неприятное положение. Их место заняли вокалист Дэйв Ковердэйл (Dave Coverdale, род. 22 сентября 1949 года, Saltburn, Lancashire, Англия) и басист Глен Хьюс (Glenn Hughes). Их приход придал музыке группы новые краски. Следующие 2 альбома - "Burn" и "Stormbringer" - добрались до десяток хит-парадов, однако в корне не устроили лидер-гитариста группы Ричи Блэкмора, который ушел из команды в 1975 году, чтобы сформировать свой собственный проект - Rainbow. На его место заступил американский гитарист Томми Болин (Tommy Bolin), однако записанный с его гитарой альбом показал его полную несовместимость с творчеством группы, так как Болин тяготел к тому, чтобы играть джаз, а отнюдь не heavy-metal. Группа совершила очередное турне по Англии, после чего Ковердэйл ушел из Deep Purple, чтобы дать жизнь Whitesnake, а позже ушли Пайс и Лорд, чтобы присоединиться к Тони Аштону в проекте Paice Ashton And Lord. Вслед за этим Болин умер от передозировки героина, и команда на долгое время перестала существовать. В 1984 году Deep Purple собрались вновь. Собрались те же, кто был и раньше: Гиллан, Лорд, Блэкмор, Гловер и Пайс. После второго совместно записанного альбома результатом возникшей между Блэкмором и Гилланом неприязни стал уход последнего. Гиллан уже после своего ухода принял участие в записи концертника Nobody's Perfect, а его место занял Джой Линн Тернер (Joe Lynn Turner), бывший вокалист Rainbow. Новый альбом с его участием назывался "Slaves And Masters". Однако, вскоре Тернер из команды ушел; причем, перед его уходом в Deep Purple были серьезные трения, едва не приведшие к расколу команды. И - Свершилось! - на его место вернулся Ян Гиллан. Альбом, записанный с его участием, назывался "The Battle Rages On". Ровный альбом, не представляющий из себя ничего экстранового в жизни команды. Предпоследний альбом Deep Purple на сегодняшний день - "Purpendicular". Нельзя сказать, что он пользуется большой популярностью - имя Deep Purple начинает потихоньку забываться. На нем дебютировал новый гитарист Deep Purple - Стив Морс, ранее известный по таким группам, как Dixie Drigs и Kansas. Что касается Блэкмора, то он ушел для того, чтобы реформировать свой старый проект Rainbow и возобновить "Blackmore's Night" со своей женой Candice Night. |

I got a certan little girl she's on my
mind
No doubt about it she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever

Hush, hush
She took my heart but I love her
just the same now
Hush, hush
I need your love and I'm not to blame

Love, love
They got it early in the morning
Love, love
Well, I
want that needing
Love, love
Oh, I gotta get ahead of it

Blow my mind and I'm

One More Rainy Day
(Lord/Evans)
Changes, visible changes
Sky looking
so forlong
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
Summer starts shining on through
You were and I were 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
Love Help Me
(Blackmore/Evans)
Bright red flashes in my
mind
Remind me of a foregone time
Blackened faces, broken
romance
Blackened faces
My broken heart has been
With memories of a
loving stain
Sometimes happy then sad
I need love, love help
me
Passing by the grounds of time
Memories that are only
mine
Looking for love, a brand new love
Looking for love
Dreams
that are hard to see
Finding a new cup of tea
Someday she must come
along
I need love, love help me
I need love to conquer
all
Somewhere there must be one
Hoping someday the good
news
Waiting for that girl to choose
Only lonely, all I can do
Only
lonely
One day she must come along
The girl as pretty as a song
A
woman just spared for me
I need love, love help me
Bright red
flashes
Remind me of a foregone time
Blackened faces, broken
romance
Blackened faces
My broken heart has been
With memories of a
loving stain
Sometimes happy then sad
I need love, love help me
I need
love, love help me
I need love, love help me

Album notes:
SHADES OF DEEP
PURPLE was recorded in about 18 hours between
May 11 and May 13 1968, just a
few months after the group had
formed. The band was a combination of the
groups ROUNDABOUT
(featuring Blackmore, Lord and Simper) and THE MAZE
(featuring
Evans and Paice). Blackmore, Lord and Simper had been in the
music business for years, Evans and Paice for not quite as long,
but
none of them had ever tasted major success before the release
of the
album.
The album was released in September and made #24, while the
single
off it, Hush, made #4.
Most of the initial set list was taken off this album
together
with other covers. Of these songs, Hush and Mandrake Root were
the most popular; Hush being re-recorded in 1988, and Mandrake
Root
clocking in at an unbelievable time of 28:42 on a live
album.

BLIND
(Lord)
"Jon plays harpsichord on this track, which is
a love song, sort
of squeezed into the format of a twelve bar blues. The
middle
section is a descending chromatic sequence which is intended to
give a sort of "slowing down" effect."
I see reflections in the
water
Autumn colours, summer's daughter
And as as the year is growing
older
I see winter on my shoulder
I stand in the haze
Watching stormy
ripples grow on my own
Never knew your needing
Till I found myself
standing here alone
And in the water, such a sad face
Slowly drowning,
such a sad face
If only I could change the seasons
Like a poet, I've my
reasons
It started to snow in the middle of July
Wonder why
Never did
understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky
In the summer days
we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons changed to
fast
Leave us all behind
But then the stone fell on the
water
Putting end to summer's daughter
And me, I turn away
remembering
All the seasons, such a sad thing
It started to rain in the
middle of the sun
Winter's begun
Never did understand you
My sorrow
is hanging in the grey sky
In the summer days we flew to the sun
On
melting wings
But the seasons changed to fast
Leave us all
behind
LALENA
(Donovan)
"Donovan's song done how we thought Donovan might like to
have
heard it. The only double tracking on this cut is the guitar
passage at the end. The slightly "jazzy" feel to the organ is a
bow in
the direction of Donovan's Mellow Yellow days."
When the sun goes to
bed
That's the time you raise your head
That's your lot and life
Lalena
Can't blame ya, oh Lalena
Ha te ta, la de da
Can your heart
get much sadder
That's your lot and life Lalena
Can't blame ya, oh
Lalena
Run your hands through your hair
Paint your face with this
pen
That's your lot and life Lalena
Can't blame ya, oh Lalena
When
the sun goes to bed
That's the time you raise your head
That's your lot
and life Lalena
Can't blame ya, oh Lalena
Ha te ta, la de da
Can
your heart get much sadder
That's your lot and life Lalena
I can't blame
ya, oh Lalena
Lalena, I can't blame ya Lalena
WHY
DIDN'T ROSEMARY
(Blackmore/Lord/Evans/Simper/Paice)
"Vaguely inspired by an Otis
Spann number, and again it's an
attempt to widen the scope of a plain 12 bar
sequence; in fact
the verses are 14 bars long and the guitar solo verses are
17
bars long. Interesting words from Rod."
Just back here we have a
crime
Everything I need but nothing's mine
Strange worlds are back
here
Why didn't Rosemary ever take the pill?
Left me waiting, waiting for
the kill
Old man won't do it, but the devil will
I'm losing time and
my mind
Why can't I ever have what's naturally mine?
I got life and the
thing that goes with it
If there's something else, where can I get
it?
Left me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do it, but the
devil will
Well here's my views, I always lose
Things I want to do are
yesterday's news
Say life's a ball, I've had it all
I'm out flat when I
have to dance all
Left me waiting, waiting for the kill
Old man won't do
it, but the devil will
Take me as I am, a 'scuseful 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?
Left me waiting, waiting for
the kill
Old man won't do it, but the devil will
Oh, why won't
Rosemary ever take the pill?
BIRD HAS FLOWN
(Evans/Blackmore/Lord)
"A different recording from
the version released on a single.
Ritchie tracked the Wah-Wah guitar on
afterwards and also the
guitar at the end of the middle section."
For
the beggar on his cornerstone
Catches pity in his wrinkled hand
But the
robber 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 robber whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only flakes of
snow
The sensation's not new to you
It's something we all have
known
You get it - it goes right through you
Yes it's something we all
have known
And the bird it has flown
To a place on it's
own
Somewhere all alone
Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has
himself to keep him company
But the robber whose bird has flown
He has
heartaches same as you and me
The sensation's not new to you
It's
something we all have known
You get it - it goes right through you
Yes
it's something we all have known
And the bird it has flown
Now the
hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the robber
whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and
me
APRIL
(Blackmore/Lord)
"A
sort of 3 part of concert about the month of April. The first
section is
played by just Jon and Ritchie. Jon played piano and
organ, and Ritchie
played acoustic guitar (a rhythm pattern and a
double tracked lead pattern)
and electric guitar. The choir was
added afterwards. The whole section used
about 11 different
tracks. Also Ian on timpani can be heard in the
background. The
second section is Jon's orchestral description of April. The
instruments used were : two flutes, two oboes, cor anglais, two
clarinets, two violins, viola and two cellos. The third section
is a
treatment of the cord sequence of the first section in a
more "Purple" way.
As a whole, we hope April hangs together as
personal evocation of a
beautiful, but sad (to us) month."
April is a cruel time
Even though
the sun may shine
And world looks in the shade as it slowly comes
away
Still falls the April rain
And the valley's filled with pain
And
you can't tell me quite why
As I look up to the grey sky
Where it should
be blue
Grey sky where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be
so
I'll cry, say that I don't know
Baby 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 a girl
In the dark of my mind I can see all too
fine
But there is nothing to be done when I just can't feel the sun
And
the springtime's the season of the night
Grey sky where it should be
blue
Grey sky where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so
I'll
cry, say that I don't know
I don't know

DEEP PURPLE was, unusually, the band's third
album, recorded
between January and April 1969. It was the last album to
feature
the band's original line up, which survived until June 1969. The
album was their most ambitious at the time; combining hard rock
and
classical music together - hardly the most obvious
combination. The track
"April" was a taste of things to come later
that year - the "Concerto for
Group and Orchestra"....
The song notes that appear before the lyrics on each
track are
the sleeve notes that were issued with the original gatefold
Speed King
Good
Golly, said little Miss Molly when she was rockin' in the house of blue

order]
Child in Time
Sweet child
in time you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between the good and the
bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking
toll
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've been hit by flying
lead
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head
And wait for the
ricochet
Into the Fire
Take the
trouble to decide the things you do
Will not be the things that don't appeal
to you
See the mess your makin' can't you see your fakin'
Gonna make it
hard for you, you're gonna--into the fire
Turn on the mandrake that was
given to you
See if you can make it like the others do
Feel the blood a
knockin' when you're finger poppin'
Gonna make it hard for you, you're
gonna--into the fire
Stop your bleeding mind before it's over and
done
Listen very closely to the message I've sung
Feel the blood a
knockin' when you're finger poppin'
Gonna get a message through, you're
gonna--into the fire

BLACK
NIGHT
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 night.
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.

But things got better--she said
Saturday nights

She finally said she loved me

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

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

Pictures of Home
Somebody's
shouting
Up at a mountain
Only my own words return
Nobody's up
there
It's a deception
CHORUS
I'm alone here
With emptiness
eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And whispering pictures of
home
Wondering blindly
How can they find me
Maybe they don't even
know
My body is shaking
Anticipating
The call of the black footed
crow...
Chorus
Here in this prison
Of my own making
Year after
day I have grown
Into a hero
But there's no worship
Where have they
hidden my thrown...
Chorus
Never
Before
Somebody Somebody
Come to my side
I'm tired
I'm crying
I'm sick inside
My woman that woman
Just wasn't
right
CHORUS
Help me now please my friend
I never felt so bad

Never never before
So funny so funny
Just like a show
One

All in a row

Can't hide I can't hide my misery
I know my sorrow won't set me
free
She did it d'you see she did it to me
Help me now please my

I never felt so bad before
Never never
before
Smoke on the Water
We all
came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a
mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the
best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the
ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
They burned down the
gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky & Claude was running
in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to
find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would
lose the race
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
We ended up at the
Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones
thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few
old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I
know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the
sky
Space Truckin'
We
had a lot of luck on Venus
We always had a ball on Mars
Meeting all the
groovey people
We've rocked the Milky Way so far
We danced around with
Borealice
We're space truckin' round the the stars
Come on let's go Space
Truckin'
Remember when we did the moonshot
And Pony Trekker led the
way
We'd move to the Canaveral moonstop
And everynaut would dance and
sway
We got music in our solar system
We're space truckin' round the
stars
Come on let's go Space Truckin'
The fireball that we rode was
moving
But now we've got a new machine
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah the freaks
said
Man those cats can really swing
They got music in their solar
system
They've rocked around the Milky Way
They dance around the
Borealice
They're Space Truckin' everyday
Come
on
Woman From Tokyo
Fly into the
rising sun,
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new
tradition
I feel it in my heart
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me
see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
Talk about her like a
Queen
Dancing in a Eastern Dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a
river
That carries me away
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me
see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
But I'm at home and I
just don't belong ...
So far away from the garden we love
She is what
moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my
night
When we're alone in Her City of light
Rising from the neon
gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get
high
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from
Tokyo
She's so good to me
Mary
Long
Mary Long is a hypocrite
She does all the things
that she tells us not to do
Selling filth from a corner shop
And knitting
patterns to the high street queue
She paints roses, even makes them smell
good
And then she draws titties on the khazy wall
Drowns kittens just to
get a thrill
And writes sermons in the Sunday Chronicle
How did you
lose your virginity, Mary Long ?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long
?
Mary told Johnny not to write such trash
Said it was a waste of
public money
She made a fuss, they made apologies
But everybody thought
the show was funny
When the nation knew you'd had children
It came as such
a surprise
We really didn't know you'd had it in you
How you did it we can
only surmise
How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?
When will
you lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?
Mary Long, you're not alone
But
you're a long way behind our times
What we do in full frontal view
Is more
honest than your clean-up mind
What I'm saying, Mary Long is
When you can
spare a minute
Go find your friend the porny Lord
Dig your self a hole and
jump in it
How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long ?
When will you
lose your stupidity, Mary Long ?
Super
Trouper
I was a young man when I died
I was a flash, I
was full of pride
I gave it all, I gave my soul, I was so strong
I felt
the truth, I felt the pain in every song
How well you know me
You've
seen me cry
I'm just a shadow
In a rock and roll sky
I was living
in a rock and roll sky
I was a king, heavy on the style
Super trouper, yes
I know you well, making me shine
I couldn't see what you did to me. I was so
blind
How well you know me
You've seen me cry
I'm just a
shadow
In a rock and roll sky
I wanna be like I was before
But this
time I'm gonna know the score
I need a home I can leave behind knowing you're
there
Super trouper, I can see you now, return your stare
How well you
know me
You've seen me cry
I'm just a shadow
In a rock and roll
sky
Rat Bat Blue
Hey baby, what
you gonna do
When the lights go up on you ?
What's your name, can I drive
you home ?
Sweet woman, are you all alone ?
You're the one for me
I'm
gonna keep you busy as a bee, could bee, could be
Rat bat blue
Now,
get up woman, don't be slow
It's getting late and I wanna go
No cause for
acting big
Got to love, got to live
Stick around with me
I'm gonna show
you things you never thought you'd see,
you see
Rat bat blue
You're so
fine
Get out ! You didn't understand
I'm a hard loving man
No way
you can satisfy
The way you look, the way you lie
And when you shut the
door
Make sure I don't see you 'round here no more
Rat bat
blue
Alright
Our Lady
Thinking
out of line just to make the sun shine
Anyway I can be like you
Fighting
with the truth
Trying to hide a fool in a fantasy
I'm dreaming, lay me
down and take me now
Our Lady of the skies
Hiding in the sun like a
loaded gun reality
Aiming high at my dream
But I can get along
She
makes me strong, anyway
I'm dreaming and there is no other way
Our Lady of
the skies
Flying in the sky with a bunch of high fidelity
I can hear
your song
Offer me a ring just to show me your sincerity
I'm dreaming, let
me go
Our Lady of the
skies
BURN
Ritchie Blackmore,
David Coverdale, Jon Lord & Ian Paice
The sky is red, I don't
understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the
woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a
blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were
fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"
I didn't believe she
was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I
leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said,
"Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and
stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"
You
know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no
time.
You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we
had no time.
The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still
see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn
with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we
stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear
"Burn!"
LAY DOWN STAY DOWN
Ritchie
Blackmore,
David Coverdale, Jon Lord & Ian Paice
I don't care if
my lady's gone
as long as you give me just what I want.
I've been losin'
my direction,
got to find a new connection.
You have wasted the love I
tasted,
now I'm really gettin' hungry more and more.
Been a long time, had
a bad sign.
Tell me what am I fighting for?
Let me know you feel
it,
you know I really need it.
Keep on pushin' for more,
lay down, stay
down.
I got something to find,
there's one thing I really need.
I'm
gonna tell you right now,
lay down, stay down.
Lookin' for trouble, I
guess that's right.
When I was young I was taught to fight.
It's been long
gone since I had known,
now I'm headin' for some more.
Let me know you
feel it,
you know I really need it.
Keep on pushin' for more,
Lay down,
stay down.
I got something to find,
there's one thing I really
need.
I'm gonna tell you right now,
lay down, stay down.
Let me
know you feel it,
you know I really need it.
Keep on pushin' for
more,
lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
there's one thing I
really need.
I'm gonna tell you right now,
lay down, stay
down.
MISTREATED
Ritchie Blackmore
& David Coverdale
I've been mistreated, I've been abused.
I've
been struck downhearted, baby, I've been confused
'cause I know, yes, I know
I've been mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing my mind, you
know I have.
I've been lonely, I've been cold.
I've been looking for a
woman to have and hold
'cause I know, yes, I know I've been
mistreated.
Since my baby left me I've been losing, I've been losing,
I've
been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
I've been mistreated, I've been
abused.
I've been looking for a woman, yeh, I've been confused
'cause I
know, yes, I know I've been mistreated, ooh o-o-oh.
Since my baby left me
I've been losing, losing,
I've been losing my mind, baby baby babe.
Oh oh
oh, oh woman, oh woman, oh woman.
I've been losing my
mind.
Love Don't Mean a Thing
Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes/Lord/Paice
If I work hard
every day
For my money
If I work my finger down to the bone
That ain't
funny
Now if I see
Something I can't buy
I put a dollar down
Then I
try try try
To get my money
I need my money
A woman who ain't got a
dime
I can't use her no
If she ain't got no cash money
I've got to
refuse her
I need a woman
With a whole lotta will
So she help me,
baby
Help me pay my bill
I need my money
I've got to have
money
I need lovin' to give me a livin'
So don't ask me I don't need
forgivin'
I will stand up to count the cost
But I know I won't stand the
loss
I need a woman
With a whole lotta will
She can help me pay my
bill
I need my money
I want my money
Before I say my prayers
I count
my money
When I wake up
It has to be there
My money
You see,
love--it don't mean a thing
When she loves you
She can't bring, can't
bring you no money
I've got to have my money
Lookin' for lovin'
I
need a livin'
Holy Man
Coverdale/Hughes/Lord
Called to Madonna
To give me
a line
She said boy what have you done
Passing your time with a holy
man
Talking about the moon and sun
But I can't tell the
difference
Between the fool and wise
Show me a river to follow
Away
from all these lies
I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your
hand
I've been picking up my bones too long
Won't you
understand
Called to the captain
To put me ashore
For it looked
like no man's land
Is this the way to follow
I cried as I shook his
hand
He told me had no answer
He didn't really hold the key
I am a
simple man
Was all he said to me
I've been on my own so long
Won't
you lend me a hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you
understand
I've been on the road so long
Won't you lend me your
hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand
Heard
my mother crying
She was calling out my name
Whisper in the dark
night
Saying who's to blame
The hour glass keeps turning
With not
enought sand to see
I am a holy man
So don't you bother me
I've
been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand
I've been pickin' up my
bones too long
Won't you understand
I've been on my own so long
Won't
you lend me your hand
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you
understand?
Lady Double Dealer
Blackmore/Coverdale
Get outta my way
I'm gettin'
tired of you
There ain't no chance
Doin' what you wanna do
I've been
down down down down down
Got to get my feet back on the ground
Lady
double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to
say
I ain't satisfied
Dealin' with second hand goods
You wanted
somethin' for nothin'
Taking everything you could
You been 'round--I got
the news
But you ain't waitin' 'round for me to lose
Lady double
dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say
I
gave love to you
Did what you wanted me to
But all you did was bring me
down
So I just had to try
Try to reason why
You took advantage of my
love
Two timin' woman
Tryin' to take me for a ride
You're a hard
lover honey
But you sure don't keep me satisfied
I wanna be there
To
try to make you see
There ain't no woman gonna make a fool outta
me
