Child In Time

LAY ME DOWN
(Gillan Fenwick Nauseef Gustafson)

She lay me down
I said it's a sin
Started to pray while she did her thing
She had to move
Had to curse me
I's coming firstly
I ain't complaining
Understand
But she did it underhand
I ain't religious
Or dogmatic
But it don't happen automatic

She don't believe
In getting paid
Specially when she's getting laid
She whacked it in
She whacked it out
She took my love and threw it about
Gets nice
I knew it would
I shouldn't feel so good
She kicks her feet
And wags her tail
She rolls her eyes and starts to wail

YOU MAKE ME FEEL SO GOOD
(Gillan Moran Wintour Holland Steele)

I want to make you feel
as if you want to let me make you tonight
My head is saying yes
my body tells me that it would be so nice
Nobody gonna know about the things we're gonna do
Oh baby I need you

When you are moving slow
as if you want to show me all your delights
It makes me shiver I get that burning
we got to make it tonight
Nobody gives a damn about the things we're gonna do
Oh baby I need you

I feel a thrill each time
I touch your body the pain it hurts me so
You're gonna feel the rush of love about the stroke of nine
Oh baby I feel fine

You make me feel so good

SHAME
(Gillan Fenwick Nauseef Gustafson)

Take me to the preacher
Take me to your god
You got me thinking like you
And you're thinking like a dog
Shame

You tell me we live for dying
You say the soul is everlasting
But you're living like a dead man
And time is surely passing
Shame

Eye of toad and leg of goat to help you see so
Milk a bull and kick your bum well if you say so
It's a mess up your ego
There is no god in heaven
I know it's true for sure
The fire gods that wrote the bible
Should come back and teach us more
Shame

MY BABY LOVES ME
(Gillan Fenwick Nauseef Glover)

My baby loves me
Never does me wrong
Every time I'm feeling down she's on the telephone
To say she loves me
My baby loves me
She loves like a woman
Teases like a child
Turns me on so badly that it really drives me wild
My baby loves me
And she don't care how

My baby loves me
Dances really slow
She's an entertainer and she really likes to show
How much she loves me
My baby loves me
She always moves so good
Shešs sliding like a cat
Everybody wants her but shešs mine and that is that
My baby loves me
And she don't care how

My baby loves me
Always treats me right
Even when I'm gone I know she loves me day and night
My baby loves me
I give her all my money
Now you understand
Why everywhere we go you see us walking hand in hand
My baby loves me
And she don't care how

DOWN THE ROAD
(Gillan Fenwick Nauseef Gustafson Glover)

Time don't stand still
Don't hang around for the kill
I've been too long on the hill
Get on down I'll meet you down the road

We had our dreams
We made our plans and our schemes
But now we know what love means
Get on down I'll meet you down the road

Your fire must burn
And all too soon you will learn
That love has no return
Get on down I'll meet you down the road

CHILD IN TIME
(Blackmore Gillan Glover Lord Paice)

Sweet child in time
you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between
Good and bad
See the blind man
Shooting at the world
Bullets flying
Taking toll
If youšve been bad
And I bet you have
And you've not been hit
By flying lead
You'd better close your eyes
You'd better bow your head
Wait for the ricochet

LET IT SLIDE
(Gillan Fenwick Nauseef Gustafson Moran)

Feel me rushing through you
Just another sixty second ride
Help me stay longer
Make me stronger and stem the tide

Let it slide

I know I leave you aching
And it's worse a second time
Give a little understanding
Take me in your hands and hear me cry

I must be dreaming
Feel so good now we can fly
Now we good timing
And we got the motion just let it slide

Let it slide

*During work on this page we checked the Japanese album lyrics and found they had been transcribed from disc at the time, so we thought you might like to see what the Japanese IGB fan was singing along to in a couple of cases!*

LAY ME DOWN

Well he laid you down
Instead of saying
Start to pray
Why don't you do it right away
Can't you move, can't you curse me
Eyes coming frosty
I didn't even understand
She did it underhand
Ain't religious, my daddy
Don't have to be that groovy


SHAME

Shame
There is no one in heaven
1 know it's true for sure
And five cards, a group of five, oh
Come back and throw them to the floor
Shame


LET IT SLIDE

Feel me, worship through, yeah
Just another 60 second bride
Help these be longer
Make me stronger
To stand the tide
