song list next song Deep Purple: Letter K Deep Purple: Mk III - The Final Concerts / Archive Alive! Deep Purple: Made In Europe Deep Purple: Stormbringer 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
song list next song previous song Deep Purple: King Biscuit Flower Hour Deep Purple: On The Wings Of A Russian Foxbat Deep Purple: Last Concert In Japan Deep Purple: Come Taste The Band Lady Luck
(Cook/Coverdale)
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
C'mon shake me

song list next song previous song Deep Purple: Live In London Deep Purple: Burn Lay Down, Stay Down
(Blackmore/Lord/Paice/Coverdale)
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.

(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
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
You don't want no bread
song list next song previous song Deep Purple: The Battle Rages On... Lick It Up
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)
My shoes are getting heavy, my feet are winding down
I look for her in corners but she's not around
What I eat is eating me, it hits me hard
I'm one jack short of a royal flush, a stranger holds the card
Here comes salvation in the shape of my guitar
I'm gonna ride it like a shooting star
I don't want your money - I don't want your soul ouh
Don't need a reason - I just want to get right down and lick it up aah

Mother mercy told me a picture never lies
She told me no self respecting hero cries
The prisoner walks in circles, the victim walks alone
Scissors cut the paper, the paper wraps the stone
Stand at the entrance to the gates of paradise
The lights go down, the heat goes up, that's when I cry
Don't want your money - I don't want your soul no
Don't need a reason - Just want to get right down and lick it up

I found my faith in fortune reaching for the sky
The only game in town, it gets me high
Don't want your money - I just want to get right down and lick it up
Oh don't want your soul - Just want to get right down and lick it up
No don't need a reason - Just want to get right down and oah... Lick it up!
song list next song previous song Deep Purple: The Book Of Taliesyn Listen, Learn, Read On
(Blackmore/Lord/Evans)
In ages past when spells were cast in a time of men in steel
When a man was called no special name it was all done by feel

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page - Read the book of Taliesyn!
Hear the song of lovely Joan, her sound so sweet and clear
In the courtroom of the king among children and the peers

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page - Read the book of Taliesyn!
Now hear ye the words of Taliesyn
On the foaming beach of the ocean in the day of trouble
I shall be of more service to thee than three hundred senates

The hare, he bounds across the page past castles white and fair
Two dreaming chessmen on their boards with a fool's mate as a snare

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page - Read the book of Taliesyn!

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page - Read the book of Taliesyn!
Three times I have been warned - I know this from meditation

The bird he flies the distance from pages two to six
Past minstrels in their boxes to the water on the sticks

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page - Read the book of Taliesyn!
Don't take the pictures lightly, listen to their sound
For from their coloured feeling experience is found

So listen, so learn, so read on
You gotta turn the page - Read the book of Taliesyn!
All the sciences of the world are collected in my breasts
For I know what has been what is now and what hereafter will occur
song list next song previous song Ritchie Blackmore: Ritchie Blackmore Vol. 1 Deep Purple: Deep Purple In Rock Living Wreck
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
You came along for a weekend
But you only stayed for one night
You pulled off your hair
You took out your teeth
Oh I almost died of fright
You'd better do something for your own sake
Yes it's a shame
Ah you know you're a living wreck

You said you were a virgin
Full of promise and mystery
But I know that you
Would bring me down
'Cos everyone calls you big G
You'd better do something for your own sake
Yes it's a shame
Ah you know you're a living wreck
song list next song previous song Deep Purple: Purpendicular Loosen My Strings
(Deep Purple)
Wake up in the morning, get into bed
Closing my eyes, I rest my head

There is no arrangement, no time and no place
It's gone in the wind and left no trace ooh ouh

Who can say, maybe or whatever, it's up to you
You know you can trust me and 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

The grease on the handle and the tangles in my hair
They always seem to go together - I don't care

Who can say, maybe or whatever, it's up to you
You know you can trust me and I'll make it up to you

The grease on the handle and the tangles in my hair
They always seem to go together - I don't care
song list next song previous song Deep Purple: King Biscuit Flower Hour Deep Purple: On The Wings Of A Russian Foxbat Deep Purple: Last Concert In Japan Deep Purple: Come Taste The Band Love Child
(Bolin/Coverdale)
You can walk through fire
Make the north wind blow
Squeeze 'n' tease me honey
When you shake your body
You move my soul
Let me be your lover
Won't you let me be your child
Take me through your universe
Y'know that when you smile
You drive me wild

Love child
Driving me wild
Love child
Always teasin' me

You can ride your pony
Day dream in fairy tales
All I know is I need more
When I see you dance the seven veils
song list next song previous song Deep Purple: Slaves & Masters Love Conquers All
(Blackmore/Glover/Turner)
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

On my way
Tomorrow I rise with the sun
Soon I'll be gone
Words can't say
How the memories of feelings of love
They linger on
Oh girl
And if it takes me forever
I know it's worth every teardrop that falls
Love conquers all

Somewhere there's a place in your heart
Where the wounds never heal
Well you're not alone
That's just how I feel

Love conquers all
This one will last a lifetime
And if love conquers all
This one will last forever
song list next song previous song Deep Purple: Stormbringer 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'
song list next song previous song Deep Purple: Shades Of Deep Purple 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
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 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!
I need love! Love help me!
I need love! Love help me!
song list next song previous song Deep Purple: Live At The Royal Albert Hall Roger Glover: The Butterfly Ball Love Is All
(Glover/Eddie Hardin)
Everybody's got to live together
All the people got to understand
So, love your neighbour
Like you love your brother
Come on and join the band

Well, all you need is love and understanding
Ring the bell and let the people know
We're so happy and we're celebratin'
Come on and let your feelings show

Love is all, well love is all,
Love is all, can't you hear the call
Oh, love is all you need
Love is all you need at the Butterfly Ball

Ain't you happy that we're all together
At the ball in nature's countryside
And although we're wearing different faces
Nobody wants to hide

Love is all and all is love and
It's easy, yes it's so easy
At the Butterfly Ball where love is all
And it's so easy


All you need is love and understanding
Hey, ring the bell and let the people know
We're so happy and we're celebratin'
Let your feelings show

Love is all, yes love is all at the Butterfly Ball
Love is big, love is small
Love is free, love is all
At the Butterfly Ball

When you back's to the wall
When you're starting to fall
You got something to lean on
Love is everything
It can make you sing at the Butterfly Ball
Love is all, I say love is all, yes love is all
At the Butterfly Ball
