song list next song Deep Purple: Letter T Deep Purple: Perfect Strangers Under The Gun
(Blackmore/Glover/Gillan)
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
Realise 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
Under the gun
song list Deep Purple: Letter V previous song Deep Purple: The House Of Blue Light The Unwritten Law
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Paice)
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 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 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
