(Steve Morse, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice e Jon Lord) 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
I know you're the only one who understands Afore ye go, before you leave You always shake my hand Even when I'm crazy, on fire and naked Just as Nature intended No style but easily blended
You always know where I'll be found Hanging somewhere near the ground Help me up or help me down
Don't want to lose those days When everything is just a haze I'm dreaming
I believe I could walk before I learned to crawl When I look up, the Devil's looking back From the mirror on the wall You can open the door Got my feet stuck to the floor I may have lost my way But I didn't get where I am today
Don't want to lose those days When everything is just a haze I'm dreaming
You spin into my empty room And once again I'm almost human Almost human
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 Don't make me happy
I sit here alone I sit here alone I look at the walls Look at the walls Look at the walls I look at the walls
You shouldn't be out on your own Oh no not with a condition like that Oh no sir constant care A condition like that, a condition so rare A penny for the guy, a penny for your thoughts One a penny, two a penny in your pocket Ding dong bell, who can tell Wild Man Fisher got nothing on me
I sit by the water I sit by the water Watch it go by Clouds going by I'm watching the sky
I left my luggage at the station Didn't know how to say goodbye I walked away from all the fury And the madness and the fury And the madness and the fury And the madness
I smile to myself I smile to myself
You're on the blind side, I'm on the other side Now I'm on the outside looking for another side Upside down side, I'm still lucid I may be crazy but I'm not stupid Try to get out, the parking lot's full No matter, no matter, what's a man going to do One two buckle my shoe Zip my lip
Everything went wrong I'm sorry boys, I've got to let you go We've had some hard times And the long rain, it didn't show Hired hands, I've seen them come and go But you don't come much better Today's Blue Monday I just got a bad news letter
This day has come The darkest cloud on our horizon My hands are tied down To that promise note I signed upon Always been this way It's the poor man who gets hurt All you ever work for Is to leave your footprints in the dirt
You work your fingers to the bone
The deed is done The fruit will fall to someone else's hand That's how the land lies Now we all know where we stand You'll have to walk away Don't let them see you running Today's Blue Monday I should have seen it coming
You work your fingers to the bone
If sweat and tears were all it took To make this valley green We'd be alright but now it's gone They've taken everything They say it's just an act of God And that's the way ill wind blows You've got thirty days to pack your bags Say goodbye, hit the road
There's no method in my madness, no craft, no guile No expertise, no self assuring smile No wizardry or witchcraft, no crass deceit No dark conspiracies, I stand on my own two feet I'm coming through just like Jack Ruby
I ragged around the edges but I got control There's no way around it and I got control I reach out for my program, still got control Straight down to business, who needs control I've got panache just like Jack Ruby
I don't beg forgiveness, I don't beg at all But I beg to differ cos I got the ball There was no invitation, you're not my type And what's gone, it ain't worth having, kiss it all goodbye Right on the money just like Jack Ruby
She was, she was She was all that she said she was She was all that she said she was
I couldn't want for more but all I want is more I just want her more and more and more and more and more But she's untouchable And I lay my head down, I lay my head down And then she's lovable
Who were you with last night? Who were you with last night? Were you thinking of me? And where you thinking of me? Unforgivable sin, unforgivable sin, unforgivable You're untouchable And I lay my head down, I lay my head down
She coming my way, she coming my way I don't know what to say, she coming my way She fading away, she fading away And I lay my head down, I lay my head down
Unforgettable face, I can't think of her name It's on the edge of my tongue, gathering dust in the back of my brain Something 'bout the way she ignores me that's vaguely familiar Makes you wonder what it was you ever did to thrill her
Here we go again Here we go again Here I go again
I never felt the need to soothe her savage breast She never felt obliged to tell me of her change of address Caught me on a downward swing but I fell through her arms How could I be so careless, I never meant to go so far
Here we go again Here we go again Here I go again
Oh she's back in town Oh she's back in town I'm not leaving I'm running away
She took it all away, now she's back for the rest Took it all so easy, wouldn't settle for less She doesn't know what she wants but she knows how to get it I can't remember the time, she never let me forget it
Here we go again Here we go again Here I go again
Oh Whatsername's back in town She's back in town I'm not leaving I'm running away
Oh she's back in town Oh she's back in town I'm not leaving I'm running away
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 Ligging at the Old Marquee, spinning Jack a line Even he knew better than me in sixty nine
Some say the state of Texas Could accommodate the entire human population Five point six billion versions of the truth Under one roof, some revelation Tale a bit of this, give a bit of that Put it in a blender, pull it out a hat There's no going back It's a lie, it's a fact Has the cat got your tongue Been too long in the sun There's dust on your tracks There's no going back
Come to think of it's a load of monkeys Every time you listen to your sun kissed lover's words Evil Louie is tomorrow's sadness It's a game of madness in a perfect world
Some would say French cuisine's more appealing Than a cold drink, burgers and fries Some have said that a pillar of society An upright citizen's incapable of lust and crime Tale a bit of this, give a bit of that Put it in a blender, pull it out a hat But he don't stand a change With his pants around his ankles Has the cat got your tongue Been too long in the sun There's dust on your tracks There's no going back
Got a black breast Chinese eyes Got an English brain that's gonna make me wise Got a long story that I want to tell To a rhythm that I know so well Really got a lot of loving that I want to give Baby I'm a mystery but you know I got to live I tried another, she didn't want to know Oh no no no
Take a hold now if you can Take a lesson from a hard loving man I'm a long way from where I want to go Guess I'll stay a while, I really love you so How's about another sip of all the wine you've got Take a tip from me and give it here, I'll drink the lot I'm not a winey, I'm putting on a show Wah no no no
You really grab me but I gotta move Before they know I'm here and spread the news Maybe in while when I move around I can find a way to pay you back your twenty pounds Really got a lot of loving that I wan to give Baby I'm a mystery but you know I got to live I tried another, she didn't wanna know Oh no no no
I'm in a kind of foolish game, I try to get rich quick, But I'm going insane, The kind of freaks that hang out on 42nd Street They're all pimpin' Judys and poppin' speed, well It's a game of cat and mouse, and I think it's got my soul, I think it's time f
Virgin land of forest green, dark and stormy plains, here all life abounds Sunlit valley, mountain fields, unseen in the rain, here all life abounds No man rules this land, no human hand has soiled this paradise Waiting patiently, so much to see, so rich
On a winter's night, stars are cold and bright in the sky, The slumber of the earth is pure and deep From a distant wood, drifts the echo of a beast The old man stirs and wakens in the night He stands before his window gazing at the grave Forgotten dreams are flashing through his weary mind And though his life is empty, he pretends that she's still there With hunger in his soul, he yearns for life and love gone by, With memories his one and only joy All he has to give, he would give to bring back the life, And raise the one who lies beneath the snow He lights a lamp and looks at pictures of the past The faces of their youth still glow with new-found love, But the picture's faded, and time has stolen youth away With a spoken word that he thought he heard from her lips, He felt another presence in the room, He was filled with fear but filled with joy he arose And turned to face the image that he knew She stood before him and her hand reached out for his A peaceful light shone in her eyes She said she'd come to soothe him, and someday they'd be as one She began to fade and her image disappeared, So he was left alone to face the night, Never in his life, had he been so held in awe, As he faced the apparition of his wife He stood before the window gazing at the grave, And with a lightened heart he saw the first of dawn, He knew that she was waiting, that someday they'd be as one
Sometimes when I'm walking down this lonely street, Well, it sure don't seem like twenty years, Since I went walking down this lonely street And the smell of perfumed ladies filled the air This street ain't got no name, dead end is in the river, And I lived where I hated life day by day, There wasn't nothing I could do to shake a cold night shiver, 'Cause to move up Lonely Street you had to have some say Gambling is bad luck down on Lonely Street And it sure ain't no place to be when a man gets sore You know I killed a man and I paid all I can, With twenty years on a chain gang, For the flesh and the blood on that jailhouse floor Sometimes when I'm walking down this lonely street I get caught up in a dream that won't let me go And as the bright lights flash up and down this lonely street My mind rolls back the years long time ago I see my baby stumblin' around with tears in her eyes And as I reach out for her she falls on the floor She mumbles through bloody lips about a bad man, robber, raper, And in my gut I know I got one to score The word was comin' down, down on Lonely Street That the bad man was a dead man if he crossed my trail Every night I'd walk up and down this Lonely Street I get stinkin' drunk, and always in jail, One night they threw me in with a man they called the mangler He was caught on the street makin' some old whore, I remember he was quite proud of that, So half-crazed I shot him, And I cried in the blood on that jailhouse floor
I've got books that say the good man's golden And more that say the bad will fall, So many men have drowned in evil, and left Lucifer standing tall Don't take the devil's dare, don't gamble when the game ain't fair, Lock and bolt the doors, can't let the devil use you anymore You got to listen all you mugs and reivers, if you do any wrong You make it right You can't be a make-believer, 'cause soon you're gonna pay the price, Lying, hat and pain, all part of the devil game, Got his foot inside the door, but you can't let him use you anymore Take, he will take, he will take, give him nothing he'll take, he will take He will take, he will give nothing but he'll take Pray, for devils have no reason, Satan waits to curse your ways, Have you seen it in his eyes in the sunset, Have you wondered if he's laughing when you play, Has he asked if you're alone if what he sees is all you own, Has he offered you happiness, money, or much better lays Satan leave me, leave me lonely, leave us alone I've got books that say the good man's golden And more that say the bad will fall, Take a look at what the future's holdin', Won't be yours if you don't heed this call, Life is a game, and the stakes will remain the same. Now you've gotta choose, is the devil gonna win or lose again
Run a silent path to nowhere, everything is all You could have a pleasant life if Summer had no Fall Treat yourself so gently though the task is often hard Man is not a God it seems, who holds the final card Close your eyes and feel the darkness, speak and hear the sound, We only catch a glimpse of all the life that is around, The man is not alive who knows the value of his soul, And when our lives are pulled away, there's more to fill the hole I wonder what you'd think if all the changes didn't come, For growing old is only going back to where you're from Far beyond our senseless thoughts there lies a core of gold Where essence of the newborn child is waiting in the old, The Master Plan is well conceived, it's there for all to see And each day that is spent in thought is living harmony Reach into the depths of being, pass beyond the years, Time is lost in stillness, where there are no hopes and fears, Linger in the void, and like a beacon in the night Purity will fill your soul with ever-present light Everything you've seen is waiting patiently within For growing old is only going back to where you've been
