, stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need, he's gonna make you bleed

Rainbow shaker on a stallion twister
Bareback rider on the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down, meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning heading your way

Ride the rainbow, crack the sky
Stormbringer coming, time to die
Got to keep running, stormbringer coming
He's got nothing you need, he's gonna make you bleed

Comin' out of nowhere, drivin' like a rain
Stormbringer dance on the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering, breaking the day
No point running 'cause it's coming your way

'Cause it's coming your way
'Cause it's coming your way
'Cause it's coming your way



Love don't mean a thing

(Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes/Lord/Paice)

If I work hard every day for my money
If I work my finger down to the bone that ain't funny
Now if I see something I can't buy
I put a dollar down, then I try try try to get my money
I need my money

A woman who ain't got a dime, I can't use her, no
If she ain't got no cash money I've got to refuse her
I need a woman with a whole lotta will
So she help me, baby, help me pay my bill
I need my money, I've got to have money

I need lovin' to give me a livin'
So don't ask me, I don't need forgivin'
I will stand up to count the cost
But I know I won't stand the loss

I need a woman with a whole lotta will
She can help me pay my bill
I need my money, I want my money

Before I say my prayers I count my money
When I wake up it has to be there - my money
You see, love - it don't mean a thing
When she loves you she can't bring, can't bring you no money
I've got to have my money

Lookin' for lovin'
I need a livin'

Lookin' for lovin'
I need a livin'

Lookin' for lovin'
I need a livin'



Holy man

(Coverdale/Hughes/Lord)

Called to Madonna to give me a line, she said: "Boy, what have you done?"
Passing your time with a holy man, talking about the moon and sun
But I can't tell the difference between the fool and wise
Show me a river to follow away from all these lies

I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been picking up my bones too long
Won't you understand?

Called to the captain to put me ashore for it looked like no man's land
"Is this the way to follow?", I cried as I shook his hand
He told me had no answer, he didn't really hold the key
"I am a simple man", was all he said to me

I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me a hand?
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand?

I've been on the road so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand?

Heard my mother crying, she was calling out my name
Whisper in the dark night saying who's to blame
The hour glass keeps turning with not enought sand to see
I am a holy man so don't you bother me

I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been pickin' up my bones too long
Won't you understand?

I've been on my own so long
Won't you lend me your hand?
I've been out in the cold too long
Won't you understand?



Hold on

(Coverdale/Hughes/Lord/Paice)

You're sweeter than the morning when the sun is shining down on me
There is nothing you can say that could make me go away, you see
But you keep saying to me baby

Hold on - I feel I'm getting ready
Hold on - I feel I'm rockin' steady
Hold on - I'm gonna make it with you woman
Hold on - you got to gimme some love, gimme some love

I held back before but your love took me easily
You got the power I knew was gonna creep up on me
The more I give your love keeps comin' on strong
Although it's mine now I know it won't be for long

There's something in the saying that a woman needs a little more time
I'm getting tired of waiting for you giving me some kind of sign

Hold on - I've got to love you when I want to
Hold on - you've got to love me when I want you to
Hold on - I ain't gonna let you leave me baby
Hold on - no, never no more

I know the game you're playing and I guess you think I'm easily led
You think the words you're saying are really going through my head
I'm gonna take you home and give you all I can
I'll prove to you, baby, that really I'm a man

Hold on - I know I'm feeling ready
Hold on - I know I'm rockin' steady
Hold on - guess I've made it with you woman
Hold on - I've got you giving me love

Something that you give me keeps me hangin' on
No use me stayin', there's nothing to be done
I'm gonna take you home and give you all I can
I'll prove to you woman that really I'm a man

Hold on - I only want to take you higher
Hold on - you are the root of my desire
Hold on - c'mon baby, light my fire
Hold on



Lady double dealer

(Blackmore/Coverdale)

Get outta my way, I'm gettin' tired of you
There ain't no chance doin' what you wanna do
I've been down, down, down, down
Got to get my feet back on the ground

Lady double dealer - get outta my way
Lady double dealer - you got nothing to say

I ain't satisfied dealin' with second hand goods
You wanted somethin' for nothin', taking everything you could
You been 'round, I got the news
But you ain't waitin' 'round for me to lose

Lady double dealer - get outta my way
Lady double dealer - you got nothing to say

I gave love to you, did what you wanted me to
But all you did was bring me down
So I just had to try find the reason why
You took advantage of my love

Two timin' woman tryin' to take me for a ride
You're a hard lover honey but you sure don't keep me satisfied
I wanna be there to try to make you see
There ain't no woman gonna make a fool outta me

Lady double dealer - get outta my way
Lady double dealer - you got nothing to say



You can't do it right (with the one you love)

(Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes)

Have you ever thought of the feeling
I get when I'm alone with you
It's causing me worry and trouble
I'm going 'round in circles, don't know what I'm gonna do

You can't do it right with the one you love
Nothing you can do without the one you love

You were always playing my records
When I was after making some love
But I need more than the music to keep myself together
Although it makes me feel so good

You can't do it right with the one you love
Nothing you can do without the one you love

Sometimes in the morning I wake up without you
Can't get up, it's getting me down
Tell me what you're trying to do
Later in the evening, you come home feeling low
If you'd stop your cruising
Maybe we could make a show

You can't do it right with the one you love
Nothing you can do without the one you love



High ball shooter

(Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes/Lord/Paice)

Well, I'm a rock and roll preacher, not a sunday school teacher
You ain't no shady lady but I love the way you strut your stuff
You're a snow queen looking mean, tryin' to make it on the scene
I guess you love it 'cause I always see you hanging' around

You're a high ball shooter - you make it easy to see
High ball shooter - you sure ripped the low ones off me

A magnet brought you to me, told me your name was Jo
You said you liked my music and you really did enjoy the show
Now I wanna play pianon but my fingers don't agree
They're busy on you woman and I feel your fingers workin' on me

You're a high ball shooter - you make it easy to see
High ball shooter - you sure ripped the low ones off me

It's time to leave you honey, I know you're feeling sad
Don't you cry now baby, you know that only makes me mad
I see you everywhere I go, every town and place
I can't recall your name but I know I won't forget your sweet face

You're a high ball shooter - you make it easy to see
High ball shooter - you sure ripped the low ones off me
'Cause you're a high ball shooter - you make it easy to see
High ball shooter - you sure ripped the low ones off me



The gypsy

(Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes/Lord/Paice)

Tell me, gypsy, can you see me in your crystal ball?
I'm asking you: "What can I do?", my back's against the wall
And I can't hold on much longer so I've come to you, my friend
For now my life seems at an end

I came to see you once before one hundred years ago
You took my hand and broke the spell that should have let me go
But my years have gone so slowly so I'm here again, my friend
For now my life is at an end



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
Echoes 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 thougt 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
Echoes 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 will always be a soldier of fortune
