Re: Lyrics?

My take:
I told you once about a place
that I had accidentally
stumbled upon
Can you imagine how it feels
to find somewhere that you
can do no wrong?
But it's alright
you're safe in my hands.
I'll meet you in the sky tonight
and we will trace some
undiscovered stars.
We'll go beyond the universe,
beyond all understanding.
Hey, it's not that far
But it's alright.
I feel safe in your hands.
I can't stand living this way,
getting by from day to day.
I'm drinking from your loving cup,
I told you things were looking up
Oh oh oh It's so good.
Oh oh it feels so good...
We're all the same,
but then again, we're all quite different in our own peculiar ways.
We've come so far and
now we're going through another phase.
But it's alright.
We've made it so far.
I can't stand living this way,
getting by from day to day.
I'm drinking from your loving cup,
I told you things were looking up
As we all know
it's hard to breathe
when something spiritual
has taken place
we don't know how,
we don't know why,
we've been transported
to a state of grace
But it's alright.
We walk in our sleep.
Yes it's alright.
This is rapture of the deep.
Great lyrics here! I was afraid it was going to be something like Priest's Lochness!

Re: Lyrics?
Here's my take on MTV. Quite difficult and if anyone has different ideas let me know.
I was driving through the night
Into an endless tunnel of fog
When it dawned upon me something was wrong
Was in a trance, hypnotised, bored beyond belief
I was listening to the same old song
I know every lick, every word, every nuance
I’m on first name terms with the crew
But I’d better get used to this tout du jour
Sure as hell they won’t play anything new
Oh yes I love you really classic rock radio
Oh my dear it’s time for bed
Time for you to go, everyone’s asleep
The pirates took to water
Stole the jobs and said
and that thing go down well
With those upstairs who require loyalty
The establishment considered that
the uncontrollable appreciation of music
Was a danger to royalty
Well the mighty empire roared
As cash (enembered)?on the high seas
Looks like they’d get blown out of the water
Well they did of course eventually come ashore
As meek as mice or to be more accurate
As lambs to the slaughter
Oh yes I love you really
I stand to attention
Oh Fanny I love you dearly
Something I should mention you sweet thing
Let’s not talk about MTV
I don’t even want to start
I want to take a look at classic rock radio
We’re talking about the state of the art
Let’s not talk about MTV
I don’t even want to start
I want to take a look at classic rock radio
We’re talking about the state of the art
Mr Grover, Mr Gillian oh you must have made a million
On the night that Frank Zappa caught on fire
Could you tell us all about it
Keep it short and use my version
Or everyone out there will think I’m a liar
You can speak about Bananas for one second
Just because I understand you have to get them off your chest
Well in the meantime, while your talking
Could you do some more of these here ideas
This station might maintain some influence
I love you dearly
But why do you insist?
I love you really
Something I missed?

Re: Lyrics?
Don't Let Go is a nightmare. I'll let someone else do that one. Here's what I think Money Talks goes like:
I was young and healthy
Extremely wealthy
Swung in the trees
And did as I pleased
I thought I was rich
Such sweet seduction
I could feel the suction
Greasing my palm
And doing no harm
Just making some deals
What a !@#$
Money talks to me
Whispers in my ear
Gives me everything I want
Everything I want
I had rising stock
So I got more pockets
I knew where to stick it
Where no one could nick it
I kind of went private
Such sweet seclusion
No more intrusion
Too much food on my plate
But there’s guards at the gate
Such joy I could almost diet
Money talks to me
Lays it on the line
Gives me everything I want
Everything I want
Money goes to money
Yes it always returns
Finds its way back to the big house
Where it lives all alone
Waif like silent partners
Operators of the system
Give words of quiet assurance
To an otherwise healthy victim
Oh it’s all coming back to me
I’m swinging in the trees
And I swim in the ocean
I used to show some emotion
Wasn’t to blame
I feel no shame
The structure was shaking
Was there for the taking
I had the resources
But then oh no
Someone out bid me
I can’t take it with me?
Then I will devour it
I can’t go without it
It’s simply a question of market forces
Money talks to me
Whispers in my ear
Gives me everything I want
Money talks to me
Laughs right in my face
Gives me everything I want
Everything I want

Re: Lyrics?
The Highway Star has the lyrics:
http://www.thehighwaystar.com/specials/rotd/
--- I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid
Sometimes I ramble, but then I'm lucid
I might seem lazy, but I'm hurting no one
I get along - I use my silver tongue

Re: Lyrics?
Is it just me or are these one of the greatest DP lyrics in two decades?

For me, they are. Gillan brain at his best.
