Smoke on the Water (Live in '95) - Deep Purple

We all came out to Montreux On the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with a mobile We didn't have much time Frank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare gun Burned the place to the ground Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky Smoke on the water They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound Funky Claude was running in and out Pulling kids out the ground When it all was over We had to find another place But Swiss time was running out It seemed that we would lose the race Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky Smoke on the water We ended up at the Grand Hotel It was empty, cold, and bare But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside Making our music there With a few red lights, a few old beds We made a place to sweat No matter what we get out of this I know, I know we'll never forget Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky Smoke on the water

We all came out to Montreux On the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with a mobile, yeah We didn't have much time now Frank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare gun Burned the place to the ground Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky Smoke on the water (Burned it down) They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound Funky Claude was running in and out He was pulling kids out the ground now When it all was over We had to find another place But Swiss time was running out It seemed that we would lose the race Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky... I can't hear you (Smoke on the water) alright We ended up at the Grand Hotel It was empty, cold and bare But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside Making our music there With a few red lights and a few old beds We made a place to sweat No matter what we get out of this I know, I know we'll never forget Smoke on the water Smoke on the water, a fire in the... I still can't hear, come on! (Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky) (Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky) (Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky) (Smoke on the water) we-he-hee-oh! (Fantastic) (Superbe!) (You're great, thank you very much) (Deep Purple, come on!) (Deep Purple, take it easy, alright!) (Deep Purple) (Deep Purple) (Hiya, Deep Purple!)

Here will be a sad day comin' For the foes of all mankind They must answer to the people And it's troubling their mind Everybody who must fear them Will rejoice on that great day When the powers of dictators Shall be taken all away CHORUS: There'll be smoke on the water On the land and the sea When our Army and Navy overtakes the enemy There'll be smoke on the mountains Where the Heathen Gods stay And the sun that is risin' Will go down on that day For there is a great destroyer Made of fire and flesh and steel Rollin' toward the foes of freedom They'll go down beneath it's wheels There'll be nothing left but vultures To inhabit all that land When our modern ships and bombers Make a graveyard of Japan CHORUS Hirohito 'long with Hitler Will be ridin' on a rail Mussolini'll beg for mercy As a leader he has failed But there'll be no time for pity When the Screamin' Eagle flies That will be the end of Axis They must answer with their lives CHORUS (Instrumental Interlude) CHORUS

We all came out to Montreux On the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with a mobile We didn't have much time Frank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best place in town When some stupid with a flare gun Burned the place to the ground Smoke on the water A fire in the sky Smoke on the water They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound Funky Claude was running in and out Dragging kids out the ground When it all was over We had to find another place Swiss time was running out It seemed that we would lose the race Smoke on the water A fire in the sky Smoke on the water We ended up at the grand hotel It was empty, cold and bare And with the rolling truck stones thing just outside We made our music there With a few red lights and a few old beds We made a place to sweat No matter what we get out of this I know I know we'll never forget Smoke on the water A fire in the sky Smoke on the water

I never meant to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain I only wanted one time to see you laughing I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only want to see you bathing in the purple rain I never wanted to be your weekend lover I only wanted to be some kind of friend Baby, I could never steal you from another, oh no Such a shame our friendship had to end Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only want to see you underneath the purple rain Honey, I know, I know times are wasted It's time we all reach out for something new and that means you too You say you want a leader but you can't seem to make up your mind I think you better close it, well, let me guide you to the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only want to see you underneath the purple rain
