song list next song Deep Purple: Letter Q Deep Purple: The Battle Rages On... Ramshackle Man
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)
My clothes don't fit and I have no point of view
Got a bad reputation but I don't believe it's true
I had something going but I blew it down the can ouh
Not exactly what I planned... oh
Ha! 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 pack
I said to the dealer put the ace in my hand
But he couldn't give a damn... oah ooh!
Oh I'm a ramshackle man - That's what I am

Aaah auh!

I sit down thinking 'bout the things I have to do
Yeah I start out fine then I pick up something new
I 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 oh yeah
I do what I can... oh ouh
I'm a ramshackle man - That's what I am

Is what I am - I'm a ramshackle man
It's what I am - I'm a ramshackle man...

(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
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

When you were a young girl, did you want a rag doll?

Only now my love has grown

Oh it gets stronger as the river flows

song list Deep Purple: Letter S previous song Deep Purple: Live At The Olympia '96 Deep Purple: Purpendicular Rosa's Cantina
(Deep Purple)
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
Might have been 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 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

Easy with that Cadillac
Easy with that Cadillac
Easy with that Cadillac
Some of this and some of that
Pass me that Cadillac
