The vault of lost lyrics, chapter 66


(Before we go any further: little signal and little time on the VI circumnavigation trip, so no posts. Sorry!)

While no one will ever confuse Deep Purple with bubblegum pop, this song is a surprisingly summery selection for the band. The crunchy guitar, the snapping Hammond organ, the underplayed vocals? Perfect for June's big blue sun-drenched prairie skies. And on the wind, the breath of a voice.

"Hush" (as recorded by Deep Purple)

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
Sometime she's gonna make me feel so bad

Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart, but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving, and I'm not to blame now

(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(Love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(Love, love)
Well, I want and need it
(Love, love)
Oh, I gotta gotta have it

She got loving like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
To blow my mind, and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat and I can't sleep

Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart, but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving, and I'm not to blame now

(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(Love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(Love, love)
Well, I want and need it
(Love, love)
Hey, I gotta gotta have it ...
