Highway
Star
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
Nobody gonna
take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh 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 bleed it
Yeah, it's a wild hurricane
Alright, hold tight, I'm a highway star
Nobody
gonna take my girl
I'm gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl
She stays close on every bend
Oooh she's a killing machine
She's got everything
Like a moving mouth, body control and everything
I love
her, I need her
I seed her
Yeah, she turns me on
Alright, hold tight, I'm a highway star
Nobody
gonna take my head
I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head
Now that I'm on the road again
Oooh I'm in heaven again
I've got everything
1. Like a moving ground, throttle control and everything*
2. Like a moving ground, an open road and everything**
I love
it, and I need it
I seed it
Eight cylinders all mine
Alright, hold tight, I'm a highway star
Nobody gonna
take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh 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 bleed it
Yeah, it's a wild hurricane
Alright, hold on tight, I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star, I'm a highway star

Maybe
I'm a Leo
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
Peeping
round the door I got a big surprise
Couldn't see a thing but open skies
They've taken her away, where is she now
Wish that
she was here, wish she'd hold my hand Maybe she would laugh,
maybe understand
Why was I so cruel, where is she now
Acting like
a fool I had to make her cry
Maybe I'm a Leo but I ain't a lion
I'm hurting oh so bad, I want her now
Pictures
of Home
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
Somebody's
shouting
Up at a mountain
Only my own words return
Nobody's up there
It's a deception
When will I ever learn?
I'm alone
here
With emptiness eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And whispering pictures of home
Wondering
blindly
How can they find me
Maybe they don't even know
My body is shaking
Anticipating
The call of the black hooded crow...
I'm alone
here
With emptiness eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And taunting with pictures of home
Here in
this prison
Of my own making
Year after day I have grown
Into a hero
But there's no worship
Where have they hidden my throne?...
I'm alone
here
With emptiness eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And screaming out pictures of home
Never
Before
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
Somebody,
somebody
Come to my side
I'm tired, I'm crying
I'm sick inside
My woman, that woman
Just wasn't right
Help
me now, please my friend
I never felt so bad before
Never never before
So funny,
so funny
Just like a show
One name, two people
All in a row
Somebody, somebody
Someone must go
Help me
now, please my friend
I never felt so bad before
Never never before
I was hurt
when I was younger
By a woman who was cold
She took my name
She took my body
And she threw away my soul
Can't hide,
I can't hide
My
misery
I know my sorrow
Won't set me free
She did it, d'you see
She did it to me
Help me
now, please my friend
I never felt so bad before
Never never before
Smoke
on the Water
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
We all came
out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke
on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
They burned
down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky & Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke
on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on the water
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
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We made a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know we'll never forget
Smoke
on the water, fire in the sky
Smoke on
the water
Lazy
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
You're
lazy, you just stay in bed
You're lazy, you 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
Space
Truckin'
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
We had a
lot of luck on Venus
We always had a ball on Mars
Meeting all the groovy people
We've rocked the Milky Way so far
We danced around with Borealice
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
Space Truckin'
Remember
when we did the moonshot?
And Pony Trekker led the way
We'd move to the Canaveral moonstop
And everynaut would dance and sway
We got music in their solar system
We're space truckin' round the stars
Come on,
come on, come on
Let's go Space Truckin'
Come on, come on, come on
Space Truckin'
The fireball
that we rode was moving
But now we've got a new machine
Yeah yeah yeah yeah the freaks said
Man those cats can really swing
They got music in their solar system
They've rocked around the Milky Way
They dance around the Borealice
They're Space Truckin' everyday
Come on,
come on, come on
Let's go Space Truckin'
Come on, come on, come on
Space Truckin'
When
A Blind Man Cries
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)
If you're
leaving, close the door
I'm not expecting people anymore
Hear me grieving, I'm lying on the floor
Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure
I'm a
blind man
I'm a blind man
And my world is pale
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know there ain't no sadder tale
Had a friend
once, in a room
Had a good time but it ended much too soon
In a cold month, in that room
We found a reason for the things we had to do
I'm a
blind man
I'm a blind man
Now my room is cold
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know he feels it from his soul
all tracks
