DEEP PURPLE LYRICS
"Call of the Wild" (1987 Single)
1. Call of the Wild
2. Strangeways
1. Call of the Wild
operator i'm looking for a girl
you've got to help me get through
i don't know much about her
so i'm relying on you
she got rhythm but no sense of timing
she likes living but she's got no
address
operator you've got to get me out of
this mess
let me tell you about her
she ain't got a face
she ain't got a name
she ain't got a leg to stand upon
she's out of touch
but not out of mind
and i've got to see again that gypsy
child
operator this is the call of the wild
she's a hitch hiker never gets a ride
but you can bet she's on time
she's always around but so hard to
find
she causes trouble she never takes
offence
dirty mind a heart of gold
operator don't you put me on hold
2. 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 it 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
i saw 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
