Purplen teksteistä

Noin äkkiseltään tulee mieleen pari hidasta biisiä eli

Gillanin When A Blindman Cries

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



tai Coverdalen Soldier Of Fortune

Soldier of Fortune
(Blackmore/Coverdale)

I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
"Come lay with me love me"
And I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round I guess I'll always be...
A soldier of fortune

Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thought my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here

Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

...This time around - owed to "G" (Come taste the band), pienellä volumella toistettuna. Tekstipuolta on hankalaa ehdottaa tuntematta edesmennyttä.
