• Ted The Mechanic

  Someone missed the train  

  • Letras

    Playing pool and drinking beer
    Nothin more'n the
    occasional tear
    But this man's life goes on
    and he gets
    greased all over
    from time to time
    At the strip joint, where we met
    He said 'Hi, my name is Ted
    See that one over there
    That ball of thunder
    Every time she goes Vavoom,
    I wiggle in my chair
    Can I buy you a beer?
    What a guy

    'I've had a few myself' he said
    'But I never quit when I'm ahead
    Too many rules and regulations
    Stupid laws designed by fools behind closed doors
    And another thing I won't discuss is religion
    It always causes a fight
    Vavoom
    There she goes again
    'How does she do that' said Ted

    And he told me
    of those unjustices (that)
    He had suffered in his life
    His wife and kids
    and boss and dogs
    and neighbours
    Raising cain and causing strife
    They were forever whining
    Bleating howling yapping screeching moaning crying
    Vavoom
    He fed them well
    He keep them warm

    Thing about Ted
    he didn't really care
    Nothing much got in his hair
    and the beauty of it was
    that he was right
    He was big as a truck
    and fast as a door
    (what's that?)
    he was always right

    The banjo player took a hike
    What's that song
    I used to like
    Vavoom
    He was big as a truck
    Fast as a door - Ted
    Ted the man our Ted

• Pictures Of Home

  Someone missed the train  

  • Letras

    Somebody's shouting
    Up at a mountain
    Only my own words return
    Nobody's up there
    It's a deception
    When will I ever learn?

    [CHORUS:]
    I'm alone here
    With emptiness eagles and snow
    Unfriendliness chilling my body
    And whispering pictures of home

    Wondering blindly
    How can they find me
    Maybe they don't even know
    My body is shaking
    Anticipating
    The call of the black footed crow...

    [Chorus]

    Here in this prison
    Of my own making
    Year after day I have grown
    Into a hero
    But there's no worship
    Where have they hidden my thrown...

    [Chorus]

    You're lazy just stay in bed
    You're lazy just stay in bed
    You don't want no money
    You don't want no bread

    If you're drowning you don't clutch no straw
    If you're drowning you don't clutch no straw
    You don't want to live you don't want to cry no more

    Well my trying ain't done no good
    I said my trying ain't done no good
    You don't make no effort no not like you should

    Lazy you just stay in bed
    Lazy you just stay in bed
    You don't want no money
    You don't want no bread

• When A Blind Man Cries

  Someone missed the train  

  • Letras

    If you're leaving, close the door
    I'm not expecting people, anymore
    Here me grieving, lying on the floor
    Whether I'm drunk or dead, I really ain't too sure

    I'm a blind man
    I'm a blind man
    And my world is pale
    When a blind man cries
    Lord, you know
    There ain't a sadder tale

    Had a friend once, in a room
    Had a good time, but it ended much too soon
    In a cold month, in that room
    We found a reason, for the things we had to do

    I'm a blind man
    I'm a blind man
    Now my room is cold
    When a blind man cries
    Lord, you know
    He feels it from his soul

• Woman From Tokyo

  Someone missed the train  

  • Letras

    Fly into the rising sun,
    Faces, smiling everyone
    Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
    I feel it in my heart

    My woman from Tokyo
    She makes me see
    My woman from Tokyo
    She's so good to me

    Talk about her like a Queen
    Dancing in a Eastern Dream
    Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
    That carries me away

    My woman from Tokyo
    She makes me see
    My woman from Tokyo
    She's so good to me

    But I'm at home and I just don't belong ...

    So far away from the garden we love
    She is what moves in the soul of a dove
    Soon I shall see just how black was my night
    When we're alone in Her City of light

    Rising from the neon gloom
    Shining like a crazy moon
    Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
    I get high

    My woman from Tokyo
    She makes me see
    My woman from Tokyo
    She's so good to me

• Strange Kind Of Woman

  Someone missed the train  

  • Letras

    There once was a woman
    A strange kind of woman
    The kind that gets written down in history

    Her name was Nancy
    Her face was nothing fancy
    She left a trail of happiness and misery

    I loved her
    Everybody loved her
    She loved everyone and gave them good return

    I tried to take her
    I even tried to break her
    She said, "I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn"

    I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
    I spent my money as I took my turn
    I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
    Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

    She looked like a raver
    But I could never please her
    On Wednesday mornings boy, you can't go far

    I couldn't get her
    But things got better, she said
    "Saturday nights from now on baby, you're my star"

    I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
    I spent my money as I took my turn
    I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
    Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

    She's my soul, I love you

    I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
    I spent my money as I took my turn
    I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
    Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

    She finally said she loved me
    I wed her in a hurry
    No more callers and I glowed with pride

    I'm dreaming
    I feel like screaming
    I won my woman just before she died

    I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
    I spent my money as I took my turn
    I want you, I need you, I got to be near you
    Ooh, I got a strange kind of woman

    Who do you think you are?
    Superstar
    Who do you think you are?
    Superstar
    Superstar
    Who do we think we are?
    Oh my soul, I love you baby

• Fireball

  Someone missed the train  

  • Letras

    The golden light about you show me where you're from
    The magic in your eye bewitches all you gaze upon
    You stand up on your hill and behop all around you
    They wonder where you're from oh yeah
    They wonder where I found you
    Oh my love it's a long way
    Where you're from it's a long way

    I tried to understand you, I tried to love you right
    The way you smile and touch me always sets my heart alight
    Your lips are like a fire burning through my soul
    And people ask me where you're from
    They really wanna know
    Oh my soul it's a long way
    Where you're from it's a long way

    Magic woman wreckin' up my soul
    Things you tell me have never been told
    Magic woman I don't know
    Electric before me I love you so I love you so

    You're racing like a fireball dancing like a ghost
    You're gemini and I don't know which one I like the most
    My head is getting broken and my mind is getting bust
    But now I'm coming with you down the road of golden dust
    Oh my love it's a long way
    Where you're from it's a long way

Retorno en 2010 de la banda original de tributo a Deep Purple 11 años después de su primer debut oficial «Purple Party». «Someone Missed the Train» es un disco de estudio ( a diferencia de sus anteriores ) producido en los CSW Studios de Austria,y grabado de forma intermitente entre los dias libres de las giras que la banda realizó por dicho país entre el 2007 i 2008. Contiene los temas clásicos de Deep Purple no incluídos en sus anteriores discos que no habían sido grabados hasta la fecha, y destaca por su cierta madurez musical propia, pues existen fragmentos, intros, arreglos y temas totalmente originales que no son composiciones de la mítica banda inglesa. También incluye famosas citas de música barroca, clásica e incluso Opera. Si solo habías oído a Perfect Strangers en sus directos, aquí puedes apreciarles en estudio, y con parte de sus propias composiciones.
