DEEP PURPLE

DEEP PURPLE - Made In Japan lyrics

rate me

- A song called Highway Star, this one.

Nobody gonna beat my car

I'm gonna race it to the ground

Nobody gonna beat my car

It's gonna break the speed of sound

Ooh, it's a killing machine

It's got everything

Like a driving power

Big fat tyres and everything

I love it and I need it, I feed it

Yeah, it turns me on

Alright, hold tight

I'm a highway star, yeah

Nobody gonna take my girl

I'm gonna keep her to the end

Nobody gonna take my girl

She stays close on every bend

Ooh, she's a killing machine

She got everything

Like a moving mouth

Body control and everything

I love it, I need it, yeah

Yeah, she turns me on

Alright, hold tight

I'm a highway star

Nobody gonna take my head

Now that I'm on the road again

Nobody gonna take my head

I gonna beat my..., yeah, yeah

Ooh, I'm in heaven again

I got everything

Like an open road

All my friends and everything

I love it and I need it, I feed it

Yeah, it turns me on

Alright, hold tight

I'm a highway star

Oh, my soul

Nobody gonna take my car

I'm gonna race it to the ground

Nobody gonna take my car

It's gonna break the speed of sound

Ooh, it's a killing machine

It's got everything

Oh, a moving mouth

Big fat tyres and everything

I love it and I need it, I bleed it

Yeah, it turns me on

Alright, hold tight

I'm a highway star

I'm a highway star

I'm a highway star

Oh, yes I am, you mothers

- Thank you. That's a new one, taken off Machine Head.

This is a song about...

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line

The line that's drawn between the good and the bad

See the blind man, he's shooting at the world

The bullets flying, they're taking toll

If you've been bad, Lord, I bet you have

And you've not been hit by flying lead

You've not been hit by flying lead

You'd better close your eyes

You'd better bow your head

Wait for the ricochet

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I'm cryin' for you day and night

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

A-a-ah, a-a-ah

I wanna hear you say

A-a-ah, a-a-ah

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line

The line that's drawn between the good of us and the bad of us

See the blind man, shooting at the world

The bullets flying, they're killing everyone

If you've been bad, Lord, I bet you have

And you've not been hit by flying lead

You've not been hit by flying lead

You'd better close your eyes

You'd better bow your head

Wait for the ricochet

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I wanna be inside of you

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

A-a-ah, a-a-ah

I gotta hear you sing

A-a-ah, a-a-ah

- You're only about four foot six, but don't worry about it, 'cause there's always someone smaller than you. You're about seven foot fourteen, don't worry about it either... [indistinguishable] ...there's always someone one million stone heavier than you... [indistinguishable]

- Here's a song which is also from the last album. It tells the story of how we recorded it and what went wrong when we did it. It happened in Switzerland, the song, a thing called Smoke On The Water, this one.

Alright, wooh

We all came out to Montreux

On the Lake Geneva shoreline

To make records with a mobile

We didn't have much time, no

Frank Zappa and the Mothers

Were at the best place around

But some stupid with a flare gun

Burned the place to the ground, now

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

But burning down

You know

They burned down the gambling house

It died with an awful sound

Funky Claude was running in and out

He was pulling kids out of ground

When it all was over

We had to find another place

Swiss time was running on

It seemed that we would lose the race

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky

It was burning

Smoke on the water

Down to the ground, it was

You know

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

A few red lights, a few old beds

We made a place to sweat

No matter what we get out of this

I know, I know we'll never forget

Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky

Smoke on the water

Everywhere

It was tumbling down

Everybody was crying

- Thank you.

Yeah, everything up here, please. And a bit more monitor if you got it. Ah?

-(...everything louder than everything else.)

- Yeah, can we have everything louder than everything else? Right.

No one sees the things you do

Because I stand in front of you

But you drive me all the time

You put evil in my mind

I used to sing and say my prayers

Live my life without a care

Now I have become a fool

'Cause I listen to the mule

How can I change when my mind

Is a friend of a Lucifer hid in the ground

Just another slave for the mule

(...?..., yeah)

- Ian Paice on drums, yes.

Alright

There once was a woman

A strange kind of woman

The kind that gets written down in history

Her name was Nancy

Her face was nothing fancy

She left a trail of happiness and misery

I loved her

Everybody loved her

She loved everyone and gave them good return

I tried to take her

I even tried to break her

She said, I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you

I spent my money as I took my turn

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you

Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman, yes I have

She looked like a raver

But I could never please her

On Wednesday mornings boy you can't go far

I couldn't get her

But things got better, she said

Saturday nights from now on, baby, you're my star

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you

I spent my money as I took my turn

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you

Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

Ooh, my soul, I love you

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you

I spent my money as I took my turn

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you

Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman, yes I have

She finally said she loved me

I wed her in a hurry

No more callers and I glow with pride

I'm dreaming

I feel like screaming

I won my woman just before she died

I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you

I spent my money as I took my turn

I want you, I need you, ha ha ha

Ooh, I had a strange kind of woman, yeah

She was so fat

She was the worst thing you've ever seen

Ooh, my soul, I love you, baby

- Hey, thank you, thank you.

Here's a thing called Lazy, this is a song from Machine Head, and it's a song, a thing called Lazy, this one, Lazy.

You're lazy, stay in bed

You're lazy, yeah, stay in bed

Don't want no money, don't want no bread, oh, shut up

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, don't want to cry no more, no

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, stay in bed

Lazy, lazy

Want no money, you don't want no bread, oh

- Yeah.

- Come on, everybody, clap your hands.

Well, we had a lot of luck on Venus

We always had a ball on Mars

We're meeting all the groovy people

We've rocked the Milky Way so far

We're dancing 'round the Borealis

We're space truckin' round the the stars

Come on, come on, come on

Let's go Space truckin'

Come on, come on, come on

Remember when we did the moonshot

And Pony Trekker led the way

We moved to the Canaveral moonstomp

Every naut would dance and sway

We got music in our solar system

We're space truckin' every day

Come on, come on, come on

Let's go space truckin'

Come on, come on, come on

The fireball that rode was moving

But now we've got a new machine

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, a freak said

Man those cats can really swing

They got music in the solar system

Rock around the Milky Way

Dancing 'round the Borealis

They're Space truckin' every day

Come on, come on, come on

Let's go space truckin'

Come on, come on, come on

Come on, come on, come on

Let's go space truckin'

Come on, come on, come on

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Space truckin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

- Thank you, good 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.

Good Golly, said little Miss Molly

When she was rockin' in the house of blue light

Tutti Frutti was oh so rooty

When she was rockin' to the east and west

Lucille was oh so real

When she didn't do her daddies will

Come on baby, drive me crazy--do it, do it

I'm a speed king you go to hear me sing

I'm a speed king see me fly

Saturday night and I just got paid

Gonna fool about ain't gonna save

Some people gonna rock some people gonna roll

Gonna have a party to save my soul

Hard headed woman and a soft hearted man

They been causing trouble since it all began

Take a little rice take a little beans

Gonna rock and roll down to New Orleans

[repeat first two stanzas in inverse order]<br />

<br />
