01. And The Address

Music by Ritchie Blackmore, John Lord
[Instrumental]

02. Hush

Music & lyrics by Joe South
I got a certain little girl she's on my mind
No doubt about it she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
She's gonna make me feel so bad

She's got lovin' like quicksand
Only took one touch of my hand
Blow my mind and I'm in so deep
I can't eat and I can't sleep
Oh I can't sleep

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na, yeah

Hush, hush
I thought I heard her callin' my name now
Hush
She took my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her callin' my name now
Hush, hush
I need her lovin' but I'm not to blame now

I got her in the morning
Late in the evening

Hush
I thought I heard her callin' my name now
Hush
She took my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her callin' my name now
Hush, hush
I need her lovin' but I'm not to blame now

I got her in the morning
Late in the evening

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

03. One More Rainy Day

Music by Jon Lord, Rod Evans
Lyrics by Rod Evans
Changes, visible changes
Sky looking so forlorn
It looks like the world's been born
On one more rainy day

Trying to see the sunlight
My heart's crying out loud
I try to see through the clouds
On one more rainy day

One more rainy day
Once again my mind is grey
This is what a rainy day can do
One more rainy day
One more rainy day

Sun starts shining on through
New world, my world with you
It's strange what sun can do
On one more rainy day

One more rainy day
Once again my mind is grey
This is what a rainy day can do
One more rainy day
One more rainy day

One more rainy day
One more rainy day
One more rainy day
...

04. Prelude: Happiness/I'm So Glad

Music by Evans, Blackmore, Simper, Lord, Paice / Skip James
Lyrics by Skip James
- Prelude: Happiness

[Instrumental]

- I'm So Glad

I'm so glad
I'm so glad
I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad
I'm so glad
I'm so glad
I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad

Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Another week in
Telephoning
Tired of groaning for you

I'm so glad
I'm so glad
I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad
I'm so glad
I'm so glad
I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad

05. Mandrake Root

Music by Ritchie Blackmore, Rod Evans, Jon Lord
Lyrics by Rod Evans
We've got a Mandrake Root
It's some thunder in my brain
Yeah, I feed it to my babe
She thunders just the same

Food of love sets her flame
Ah, stick it up

I've got the Mandrake Root
Baby's just the same
She still feels a quiver
She's still got the flame

She slows down, slows right down
I've got the power

06. Help!

Music & lyrics by John Lennon, Paul McCartney
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind, opened up the door

Help me if you can I'm feeling down
But I do appreciate your being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please help me?

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now and then I feel so insecure
Now I know I need you like I've never done before

Help me if you can I'm feeling down
But I do appreciate your being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please help me, my love?

(Help) I need somebody
(Help) Not just anybody
(Help) I need someone

Won't you please help me, my love?
Help me baby, help me

07. Love Help Me

Music by Ritchie Blackmore, Rod Evans
Lyrics by Rod Evans
Vibrant flashes in my mind
Remind me of a foregone time
The blackened faces, broken romance
Blackened faces

My broken heart has bled
With memories of a love that's dead
Sometimes happy then sad
I need love, love help me

Passing by the grounds of time
Memories that are only mine
Lookin' for love, a brand new love
Lookin' for love

Dreams that are hard to see
Finding a new love for me
Someday she must come along
I need love, love help me

I need love to come home
Somewhere there must be one

Hoping someday for good news
Waiting for that girl to choose
Only hoping, all I can do
Only hoping

One day she must come along
A girl as pretty as a song
A woman just there for me
I need love, love help me

Vibrant flashes in my mind
Remind me of a foregone time
The blackened faces, broken romance
Blackened faces

My broken heart has bled
With memories of a love that's dead
Sometimes happy then sad
I need love, love help me
I need love, love help me
I need love, love help me

08. Hey Joe

Music & lyrics by Billy Roberts
Hey Joe
Where you going with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe
Now tell me where you going with that gun in your hand?

I'm going down to shoot my lady
'Cos I caught her messing around with another man
Yes I'm going down to shoot my lady
'Cos I caught her messing around with another man

Hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down, yes he did
Hey Joe
I heard you shot your woman down right down to the ground

Yes I did I shot her
You know I shot her 'cos I caught her messing round town
Yes I did I shot her
I shot my woman 'cos she was messing round town
I gave her the gun ohh I shot her

Ohh hey Joe
Tell me where you gonna run to?
Now hey Joe
C'mon tell me where you gonna run to?

Now don't you worry about me
I'm going way down south
Way down south
Where I'm gonna be free

Ohh I'm going way down south
Way down south
Maybe outside Mexico way
I'm gonna run oh yeah

{That's the one right}

09. Shadows

Music by Evans, Blackmore, Simper, Lord, Paice
Lyrics by Rod Evans
Walk through the night looking for your kind of smile
Hoping to meet you I walk my love for miles
Your face, your eyes, I can't find the girl I look for

Shadows can conceal you
You can't hide, so please don't try
Your life and my love
But to search just makes me cry

Life was so young and another day is gone
Love seems a lost word
How can my heart be strong
When that was is again I wait for love to be there

Then in the shadows I see the face I look for
But then like the night you're gone just as before
A face in a crowd
A shadow once more
