Song Lyrics
House of Pain
Gillan,Bradford
Have you ever had a woman that could make you crazy
Have you ever had a woman that could drive you mad
Have you ever had a woman give you so much trouble
And the best lovin’ you ever had
My friends all say I’m losing it big time
But I know where I’ve got to go
I’m going back there again
I’m going back there again
I’m going back there again
Back to the house of pain
Have you ever had a rock that just keeps on rollin’
Have you ever seen a train comin’ down the track
Have you ever jumped into the cold, cold never
And know there’s no turning back
My friends all say I’m crazy, baby
But I know where I’ve got to go
I’m going back there again
I’m going back there again
I’m going home
Back to the house of pain
Have you ever had a weight that was much too heavy
Have you ever had a burden that was yours alone
Have you ever spent a night when you keep on waiting
Staring at the telephone
My friends all say I’m crazy, baby
But I know where I’ve got to go
I’m going back there again
I’m going back there again
I’m going back to my woman
Back to the house of pain
Then I run away
chorus
you’ll always be my inspiration
I love you from afar
=====
Sun Goes Down
Gillan/Glover/Paice/Morse/Airey
Oh you’re all looking up
With hearts of devotion
Through the dust and the heat lost to me
In a cloud of emotion
I have no motivation
To keep this breathless pace
I’m more inclined to stay here
In this breathing space
And the sun goes down
And the moon comes up
I never tried to walk the walk
’Cos the steps are elusive
The membership is too costly
And exclusive
Hey, the more I’ve got
The more I stand to lose
So I’m gonna unpack my bags
And take off my shoes
And the sun goes down
And the moon comes up
Let me tell you there’s no point knocking
At the big oak door
Can’t you see that it’s all full up
They can’t take no more
The line’s so long
It’s almost Disney
Ooh…
Wont somebody kiss me
And the sun goes down
And the moon comes up
======
Haunted
Gillan/Glover/Paice/Morse/Airey
I hear the beating of your wings
And you’re playing on my strings
In mysterious ways
You draw me in
To a love
Beyond all understanding
Beyond my reach
So far away
But it seems
Like only yesterday
I’m Haunted
Haunted
Is that what you wanted
All that’s left
Is the ghost of your smile
It stays awhile
Then fades away
I hear your footsteps on the ground
Tempting me to turn around
It’s just the echo
Of a disenchanted lover
Shuffling aimlessly
Homeward bound
To empty rooms
And picture frames
And Friends
Who can’t recall our names
I’m Haunted
Haunted
Is that what you wanted
All that’s left
Is the ghost of your smile
It stays awhile
Then fades away
=====
Razzle Dazzle
I don’t have the time of day, I don’t know
what day it is, some one is falling on my hand,
get up get up,
were going out on the razz,
razzle dazzle,
call it what you want,
to me doesn’t matter,
its where I belong,
its a matter of distinction its a real fine line between an ogre of destruction
and a wonderful time.
This room’s so cold and bare there is nothing here for me
I’ve got to find some heat some where get up,
get up,
were going out on the razz,
razzle dazzle, call it what you want,
It really doesn’t matter, when I’m going on the gamp,
if some one is holding out it’s a real congregation
and we can all forget about the state of the nation.
I can’t hear a thing, but I see your lips are moving,
I’m doing a lot of thinking and I thinkey its improving,
I’m going to get the blame so I might as well deliver,
as soon as I get past this weird human river,
with a fist on intention, and a few not to mentions.
=====
Silver Tongue
Gillan/Glover/Paice/Morse/Airey
Well I’m standing here on moving station
All the world is traveling by
To strange outlandish destinations
There they go, I wonder why
I may be crazy
But I’m no stupid
I get along
I use my silver tongue
You know I can dream in any language
Flying on my magic bed
And I don’t need to work my passage
All I do is use my head
I may be crazy
But I’m no stupid
Sometimes I ramble
Then I’m Lucid
I might seem lazy
But I’m hurting no-one
I get along
I use my silver tongue
I know exactly what you’re thinking
But you don’t know what’s in my mind
You went too fast and now your sinking
Because you forgot to read the signs
=====
Walk On
Gillan/Bradford
If you don’t like what you see
If you can do better than me
Walk on
If the road before you winds
Obscuring al the signs
Walk on
You mean more to me
Than just a pretty face
I wont hold you down
You need a little space
If you don’t like what you see
If you can do better than me
Walk on
You know I don’t like to fight
No matter who’s wrong or right
Walk on
=====
Picture of Innocence
Gillan, Glover, Lord, Paice, Morse
I hear they’re trying to make us all the same
It’s mind control by any other name
Who’s gonna pay the price
For this foolish paradise
Oh…Momma don’t take that train
I hear it said we’re headed too far south
Chinese whispers go by word of mouth
Rules for every size and shape
The nag has gone, shut the gate
Once you’re in you’re never getting out
I’m so misunderstood
There goes my manlihood
She’s in my face again
With that picture of innocence
No drinks, No smokes
No dicking around
No dirty jokes
Straight lace, straight face
The old straight jacket
We got no hope
I hear they’re gonna try out something new
I can feel it sticking to my shoe
So this is what tomorrow holds
Hopes and dreams are bought and sold
But still the world is misty green and blue
I’, so misunderstood
There goes my mannish boyhood
She’s in my face again
With that picture of innocence
No deals, No strokes
No forbidden fruit
No holy smoke
What next, no sex
That’s the end of the road
That’s the end of the road
We got no hope
No drinks, No smokes
No dicking around
No dirty jokes
Straight lace, straight face
The old straight jacket
We got no hope
No deals, No strokes
No forbidden fruit
No holy smoke
What next, no sex
That’s the end of the road
We got no hope
Never a Word
Gillan/Glover/Paice/Morse/Airey
Never a word, a word so true
Passed between us, me and you
Heard you found your pot of gold
That’s the story I’ve been told
Never a word was said in vain
Some were never sad again
Some were lost in lovers’ heat
Some lay fallen at our feet
All day all night
You and only you
All day all night
I think of you and only you
Never a word escaped my lips
Silenced by your fingertips
I kept my word, can you believe
All this time so hard to breathe
Hard to breathe
=====
Bananas
Gillan/Glover/Paice/Morse/Airey
I’ve got nothing to say today
I used my words up yesterday
I’m just lying here in the sun
Watching you guys having fun
Seven days and seven nights
Working till you got it right
Don’t help me I’ll help myself
I’ll pull some crackers off the shelf
She had her hair done yesterday
Now she’s coming out to play
First you pull and then you push
Two in the hand and one in the bush
Oh, my love is
So excited
When I say we’ve
Been invited
Now we’re going
To the palace
Dressing up for
Tea with Alice
Some will rise and some will fall
Some will come to nothing at all
The strangest people have the power
To lead me to my darkest hour
How can you be sure it’s me
When it’s payment on delivery
Oh, my love is
So excited
When I say we’ve
Been invited
Now we’re going
To the palace
Dressing up for
Tea with Alice
Now my love is
Richer than rich
’Cause I studied
Mathematics
Graduated
Without honours
Everyone has
Gone Bananas
=====
Doing It Tonight
Gillan/Glover/Paice/Morse/Airey
I don’t have a problem
I’m not seeking her advice
I’m saving that for later
Yeh, it’s something awful nice
I had a shaky feeling
When she floated into sight
I imagine we’ll be doing it tonight
I’m ragged round the edges
All these people in the room
There’s magic in the air
I’m guessing she can feel it too
Prospective recreation
Helps me keep her in my sight
I imagine we’ll be doing it tonight
That’s why everybody’s sitting around
We can’t think of nothing better to do
There’s no empty bottle
They’re all half full
So we end up spinning a shoe
We keep on going ‘til poor old Lenny’s
Got drool hanging off of his chin
He can’t stop winning
When the shoe stops spinning
But he doesn’t know where to begin
She wasn’t in the running
She was never in the game
I could see her in the distance
But I could not lay my claim
Let me tell you ‘bout this cherry
I never got a single bite
Therefore I imagine we’ll be doing it
tonight
=====
