Blues is a natural fact, is something that a fellow lives. If you don't live it you don't have it. Young people have forgotten to cry the blues. Now they talk and get lawyers and things.

Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water (From "Live At Montreux 2006" DVD)
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 & 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 They burned down the gambling house - It died with an awful sound Funky & Claude was running in and out, pulling kids out of 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 But with the Rolling Truck Stones Thing just outside making our music there With a few red lights an' 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

ReplyDeleteTo make records with a mobile - We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa & 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
They burned down the gambling house - It died with an awful sound
Funky & Claude was running in and out, pulling kids out of 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
But with the Rolling Truck Stones Thing just outside making our music there
With a few red lights an' 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
