THE PURPENDICULAR WALTZ (Gillan/Glover/Lord/Morse/Paice)
Put your money down
Take your choice
That's the way it is
Every time with these boys
And you sense no shame
And you feel no disgrace
Somebody wins somebody loses
It's a dirty dirty race
Oh my life
It's a dog's life.
One empty Monday
Out of the blue
Took a good luck turn
Started something new.
Out of the gutter, out of the rain
Out of my head
And I'm feeling no pain.
Oh my life,feeling no pain
Take the strain
It's a dog's life.
Ducking in the shadows
Diving in the dark
Rolling with the punches
Striking at the heart
Touching all the sense's
Breaking those taboos
Bursting at the seams
Blowing all my fuses.
The turning of a page
The burning of a book
(If you're) talking out of turn
(It's) just the way you look.
When the time is right
But the shape is wrong
And you find yourself
Where you don't belong.
Back to reality, back on the line,
Back into this and you'll feel no pain
You wanna do it one more time
We can do it once again
Oh my life
It's a dog's life.
