DESCRIPTION:
The House of Blue Light ( 1987 ) is the twelfth studio album of British hard rock band Deep Purple.Seeing Ian Gillan there are some good songs on that record, but there's something missing in the overall album. I can't feel the spirit of this band. I can see or hear five professionals doing their best, but it's like a football team, it's not functioning. But anyway, I ( skywalker ) like this album. Especially the ninth thing, the eternal and beautiful

Strangeways (Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)


Strangeways...
Strange, strange..

I was born into confusion
My mother said to me
'When you become a man you'll understand'
But it's still a mystery
'And if you want to get ahead
Get some decent clothes
The only way to make it
Dress the part'
That gets right up my nose

And I think to myself in this river of doubt
This is something I can do without
But strangeways is what I got

The indians are coming Isaw it on tv
They're 20,000 strong
But they always get depleted by the cavalry
Salvation is at hand
It's guaranteed
Just send a donation straight to God
1-800 toll free

And I think to myself in this academy of fear
Where am I going what am I doing here
But strangeways is all I got

Have you seen the headlines
Princess engaged
3 million out of work
But that's on the 2nd page
The alien has landed
Finger in his ear
Can't hear a word I am saying
But that ain't such a bad idea

And I think to myself in this cradle of lust
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
But strangeways is all you get
