Lyrics:

http://www.deep-purple.net/lyrics/lyrics.htm

Ooh what a night it was, the night I fell apart
I begged a lover not to go away but she went and broke my heart
I found myself in a Vegas bar with a whole new set of friends
Seen through the bottom of an empty glass
Like looking through a fisheye lens

One night in Vegas

It was a morning of revenge for what I did the night before
Which accompanied me to the following day to even up the score
In a stone cold sober mood next afternoon at ten
I found my tongue back in my mouth
And I told myself not to drink again

One night in Vegas

I was three sheets to the wind
The three shots did me in
Three angels there above me
As I was lying on the floor
I knew I should have run for the hills
But I still wanted more

I don’t remember the chapel but I woke up with a wife
I looked at her, she looked at me and now we’re hooked for life
How strange the situation, it’s now been thirty years
Since I met that girl in Vegas
And would you believe it, she’s still here

One night in Vegas
Oh yeah I gotta tell you, one night in Vegas

Dealer
(Bolin/Coverdale)

If you fool around
With the dealer
Remember soon
You’ll have to pay
He’ll creep behind you
Like a hunter
Just to steal your soul away…
I don’t want no one
Messing with my woman
But, just the same
I don’t want to see nobody
Fooling with you
If you’re snowblind
Madonna can hold you
But, if you don’t understand
There is nothing she can do for you…

Running from the dealer
Trying to save your soul

I can feel the fire
Coming from inside you
I know what it’s like
Cos I’ve been burned before
Ain’t no mercy
In the hunger, but
You’re a fool to yourself
Cos your dealer keeps you begging for more…

Running from the dealer
Trying to save your soul

In the beginning all you wanted
Was the calm before the storm
If the bluebird plays the eagle
He finds his song will turn to stone….

Dealer…..

Running from the dealer
Trying to save your soul

Current Playlist:

This week John replaces “I Need Love” with “Dealer” on his Come Taste The Band Playlist. Nate already had “Dealer” on his list.

Strangeways
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)

Strangeways…
Strange, strange..

I was born into confusion
My mother said to me
‘When you become a man you’ll understand’
But it’s still a mystery
‘And if you want to get ahead
Get some decent clothes
The only way to make it
Dress the part’
That gets right up my nose

And I think to myself in this river of doubt
This is something I can do without
But strangeways is what I got

The indians are coming I saw it on tv
They’re 20,000 strong
But they always get depleted by the cavalry
Salvation is at hand
It’s guaranteed
Just send a donation straight to God
1-800 toll free

And I think to myself in this academy of fear
Where am I going what am I doing here
But strangeways is all I got

Have you seen the headlines
Princess engaged
3 million out of work
But that’s on the 2nd page
The alien has landed
Finger in his ear
Can’t hear a word I am saying
But that ain’t such a bad idea

And I think to myself in this cradle of lust
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
But strangeways is all you get

Mary Long

(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)

Mary Long is a hypocrite
She does all the things that she tells us not to do
Selling filth from a corner shop
And knitting patterns to the high street queue
She paints roses, even makes them smell good
And then she draws titties on the khazi wall
Drowns kittens just to get a thrill
And writes sermons in the Sunday Chronicle

How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long?

Mary told Johnny not to write such trash
Said it was a waste of public money
She made a fuss, they made apologies
But everybody thought the show was funny
When the nation knew you’d had children
It came as such a surprise
We really didn’t know you’d had it in you
How you did it we can only surmise

How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long?

Mary Long, you’re not alone
But you’re a long way behind our times
What we do in full frontal view
Is more honest than your clean-up mind
What I’m saying, Mary Long, is
When you can spare a minute
Go find your friend the porny Lord
Dig yourself a hole and jump in it

How did you lose your virginity, Mary Long?
When will you lose your stupidity, Mary Long?

Nate quite obviously replaced “Place in Line” with “Mary Long.” John holds steady with his WDWTWA playlist until something better comes along.
