SHADES OF DEEP PURPLE


AND THE ADDRESS (Blackmore / Lord)

(instrumental)



HUSH (South)

I got a certain little girl she's on my mind
No doubt about it she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad

Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She took my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need your love and I'm not to blame now

Love, love
They got it early in the morning
Love, love
They got it late in the evening
Love, love
Well, I want that needing
Love, love
Oh, I gotta get ahead of it

She's got a love like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
Blow my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat and I can't sleep

Listen

Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She took my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need your love and I'm not to blame now

Love, love
They got it early in the morning
Love, love
They got it late in the evening
Love, love
Well, I want that needing
Love, love
Oh, I gotta get ahead of it



ONE MORE RAINY DAY (Lord/Evans)

Changes, visible changes
Sky looking so for long
It looks like the world being born
On one more rainy day

Trying to see the sunlight
My heart's crying out loud
I try to see through the clouds
On one more rainy day

One more rainy day
Once again my mind is grey
This is what a rainy day can do
One more rainy day
One more rainy day

Summer starts shining on through
You were and I were with you
It's strange what sun can do
On one more rainy day
One more rainy day

Once again my mind is grey
This is what a rainy day can do
One more rainy day
One more rainy day



PRELUDE : HAPPINESS (Traditional arr. Deep Purple)

(instrumental)



I'M SO GLAD (James)

I'm so glad
I'm so glad
I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad
I'm so glad
I'm so glad
I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad

Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Another weekend
Telephone you
Tried of groaning for you

I'm so glad
I'm so glad
I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad
I'm so glad
I'm so glad
I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad



MANDRAKE ROOT (Blackmore/Evans/Lord)

We got a Mandrake Root
It's some thunder in my brain
Feed it to my babe
She thunders just the same
Food of love sets her flame
Ah, stick it up

I've got the Mandrake Root
Baby's just the same
She still feels a quiver
She's still got the flame
She slows down, slows right down
I've got the power



HELP (Lennon/McCartney)

When I was younger, so much younger than today
I didn't need anybody to help me in any way
But now these days are gong I'm not so self-assured
Now I find I've changed my mind, opened up the door

Help me if you can I'm feeling down
But I do appreciate you're being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please help me

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
Now I know I need you like I've never done before

Help me if you can I'm feeling down
But I do appreciate you're being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please help me, my love?



LOVE HELP ME (Blackmore/Evans)

Bright red flashes in my mind
Remind me of a foregone time
Blackened faces, broken romance
Blackened faces

My broken heart has been
With memories of a loving stain
Sometimes happy then sad
I need love, love help me

Passing by the grounds of time
Memories that are only mine
Looking for love, a brand new love
Looking for love

Dreams that are hard to see
Finding a new cup of tea
Someday she must come along
I need love, love help me

I need love to conquer all
Somewhere there must be one

Hoping someday the good news
Waiting for that girl to choose
Only lonely, all I can do
Only lonely

One day she must come along
The girl as pretty as a song
A woman just spared for me
I need love, love help me

Bright red flashes
Remind me of a foregone time
Blackened faces, broken romance
Blackened faces

My broken heart has been
With memories of a loving stain
Sometimes happy then sad
I need love, love help me
I need love, love help me
I need love, love help me



HEY JOE (Roberts)

Hey Joe
Where you going with that gun in your hand
Hey Joe
Now tell me where you going with that gun in your hand
I'm gonna shoot my lady
Cos I caught her messing around with another man
Yes, I'm going down to shoot my lady
Cos I caught her messing around with another man

Hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
Hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down
Right down to the ground
Yes I did I shot her
You know I shot her cos I caught her messing 'round town
Yes I did I shot her
I shot my woman cos she was messing 'round town
I gave her the gun - I shot her!

Hey Joe
Tell me where you gonna run to now?
Hey Joe
C'mon tell me where you gonna run to?
Don't you worry about me
I'm going way down South
Way down South where I'm gonna be free
I'm going way down South
Way down South maybe outside Mexico Way
I'm gonna run, oh yeah


SHADOWS (Blackmore/Evans/Lord/Paice/Simper)
Unreleased studio track © 1968
"Shades of Deep Purple remastered" bonus track © 2000


Walk through the night looking for your kind of smile
Hoping to meet you I walk my love for miles
Your face, your eyes, I can't find the girl I look for

Shadows can conceal you
You can't hide, so please don't try
Your life and my love
But to search just makes me cry

Life was so young and another day is gone
Love seems a lost word
How can my heart be strong
When that was is again I wait for love to be there

Then in the shadows I see the face I look for
But then like the night you're gone just as before
A face in a crowd
A shadow once more

...shadows...shadows...shadows...shadows...
...shadows...shadows...shadows...
