Deep Purple - Bananas Lyrics
I've got nothing to say today
I used my words up yesterday
I'm just lying here in the sun
Watching you guys having fun
Seven days and seven nights
Working till you got it right
Don't help me I'll help myself
I'll pull some crackers off the shelf
She had her hair done yesterday
Now she's coming out to play
First you pull and then you push
Oh, my love is
So excited
When I say we've
Been invited
Now we're going
To the palace
Dressing up for
Tea with Alice
Some will rise and some will fall
Some will come to nothing at all
The strangest people have the power
To lead me to my darkest hour
How can you be sure it's me
When it's payment on delivery
Oh, my love is
So excited
When I say we've
Been invited
Now we're going
To the palace
Dressing up for
Tea with Alice
Now my love is
Richer than rich
'Cause I studied
Mathematics
Graduated
Without honours
Everyone has
Gone Bananas

Deep Purple Bananas Comments
По-моему, все ровненько, ничего выдающегося. Бывает). Благодарна им за то, что до сих пор ОНИ вообще есть, творят и радуют настоящих поклонников. DEEP PURPLE FOREVER!
Very cool!!
'Worst Album Cover' I see in previous comment but..this is with secret,hidden meaning.
I am glad to listen to the album now in 2020. 😈
Nunca había escuchado este álbum. Pero tiene una música muy depurada de la banda, Me gustó y fue una sorpresa muy agradable descubrirlo. Creo el propósito de la portada es como decir: "No se preocupen del exterior son bananas, mas bien consideren lo que hay dentro".
Please...reissue this album on vinyl format.
Wow never heard this album? What a great day!! \m/
Gillan sings as good as on late Gillan albums, like Magic. But the cover... whoever came up with that awful idea?
Me encanta la tapa!!!!
great
album
[[ ABSOLUT ]]
The best Purple if they hadn't done DP in Rock, Machine Head, Burn and Perfect Strangers
Of all the post-Blackmore albums, this sounds the most of the Mark-II golden era album.
Their best album. This has Deep Purple written all over it. Best Ian Gillian voice, best band formation and best songs!
I Got Your Number, best song in the album.
Best post Blackmore/Lord album, but Gillan's vocals are mixed too loud
I think because at this point he couldn't put much power in his vocals but i agree at times its too loud for sure
The 2000's were a decade in which Gillan loathed making albums due to the phenomenon of downloading. It was in the early 70's he said he was a capitalist.Very understandable he wanted to make money but an artist would have neglected this and put out great stuff anyway. Gillan lies a lot.
I do not understand what you are saying J. Blackers. Please explain.
@Michael D. Gianelli hes saying gillan said he was a capitalist but was resistent when downloading became a naturally occuring thing in the market.
@David Got ya David. Thank you.
Fav Ian Gillian DP album, mine too. Just listen how much fun he had while singing this.
1. House of Pain
2. Sun Goes Down
3. Haunted
4. Razzle Dazzle
5. Silver Tongue
6. Walk On
7. Picture of Innocence
8. I Got Your Number
9. Never A Word
10. Bananas
11. Doing It Right
12. Contact Lost
They made such a good choice getting Steve Morse. Very odd picture for the album cover.
Discazo!!!! No tiene desperdicio, en absoluto (excepto por la tapa, claro)!!!
Track listings please. Thanks
I hope "Bananas" will be reissued on double vinyl format, it's hard to find and if you find one, it's very expensive.
I might have it stacked somewhere. Dont know of a double album reissue. ???
@Jon Blackers I'm just hoping, it would be reissued as a double LP in the future for a better sound quality since it's more or less an hour long.
Very very poor music.
Doesn't fit to Purple at all.
Poor music????this album it's one of the best they did with SMorse ...
Zoltán Kovács, If you want "poor music", you just have to put in your stereo "The House Of The Blue Light", the worst album in the history of Deep Purple. That yes that is tasteless, generic music, made only to fill in the record of complying with the record label, and nothing else!
Zoltán Kovács
ízlések és pofonok!
egyáltalán, végig hallgattak?
Хороший, разнообразный и пышный альбом! Один из лучших со С.Морсом!
А какой год этого альбома? Я не слушал лет тридцать.. И в последние дни что то стал гуглить?
'Art-ego' you say in your screen name but..ignoring you isn't ago and never will be. 😈
@Yevgeniy Ayrapetov whatsup?
Uno de los mejores álbumes
You've better walk on
I may be crazy but I'm not stupid
Haunted
Psychedelic Rap Rock
tu super disco con toda la firma del grupo, quiza desconocido para muchos pero muy digerible, la portada si es para el olvido.
This is one of my favorite Deep Purple album of all time. I am telling you. :-)
Walk on is a smoking bluesy track, a nice standout track.
One of the weaker moments.
Two guys sitting on a pile of bananners giving ZERO fucks. That is too metal for most people.
Best album since Slaves and Masters. Fucking mind-blowing. Love it!
ok amo ese albun
I actually like the album cover. you know, sometimes it's more than a beautiful drawn or simple picture, is what the idea evokes on the person that is looking at. I like to see a cover like this one, and think about the many types of people and lives different from my common and standard "big city regular citizen" life, which I love it, but it's definitely not the standard for majority of people living in this world. Actually, 80% of people around the world barely has anything. It's just that happen that us, have the ways to communicate between ourselves, through television, internet, etc...
what does evoke mean?
@Gregory Chri what does means means?
@Gregory Chri It means to bring out, like a feeling or an emotion.
la mejor banda de todos los tiempos, no me vengan con stones beatles, deep purple
Comparto todo, además es mejor que Floyd , LED,etc porque ellos hicieron 10 buenos álbunes y deep más de 20 y además son mejores a nivel instrumentos .los tipos conocen la música Gracias Juanc
Por el tiempo que pasó no sé si llega.lo que tiene internet es que acaba con los mitos ,ahora uno puede escuchar de todo, cuando era joven no podía llegar a muchos discos.los medios y el dinero agrandaron a unos cuantos, además antes en el rock estaba la onda si se daba,etc y entonces venía bien".estos hacen bien Gracias Juanc
i actually like the album cover
Me too XD
trying too hard to sound like the original DP guitar and keyboards: both Morse and Airey are great musicians but they're ripping off the band sound to play in said band
You can spot a Steve Morse solo so easily. EVERY single solo has the double 8 note run up the scale. Love DP and love SM but come on Stevie think outside the box.
I love this album so much!
Worst Purple album with Gillan ever, and by far. Now what ?! and Infinite fortunately showed the diving Stuka took of again before hitting rock bottom.
You seem to be in the minority on here so go back to your ABBA collection for gods sake
Benoit Vanshees, the worst Purple album with Gillan was -REALLY BY FAR!- "The House of the Blue Light"... Songs of shit, generic and unworthy of the Purple legacy, without the slightest hint of doubt.
best w/ morse
Interesting DP indeed. Mixes pretty much all their styles. Agreed that the cover has 2 be in the worstop 50 ever. My 3rd listen in 12 years. Yeap, things have surely changed... Age has its "things"... The ones that I keep listening to everyear since they came out are The Book of Taliesyn, Purple In Rock and Machine Head. And deep purple 30: very best of and Live In Japan, a fun loud memory ridden masterpiece....
This is the only Deep Purple album I don't have... It's hard to find a copy of it for less than $20, and I'm pretty sure it's their only album that's not on iTunes!
Deka7X9 its not in deezer, too
Where do you shop? Try Discogs.com
good album!
I can not find in spotify
My dad used to listen this when I was 2 years old, now im 15 and im still feeling it
Your father knows about music. my son is 16 years old and only listens to Rock music... Good luck in your life....🎶🎹☺️
I luv bananas and I was really surprised what a great album it is
como hay pelotudos que hablan de los beatles y de los stones cuando deep purple es lo mas grosso en rock que hizo dios
seguro que si, pero me aferro a pensar que purple son los iconos que producen el quiebre, seguro que no todos tenemos los mismos gustos y pensar que una banda es buena no quita de pensar que la otra sea mala, gracias por prestar atencion a mi comen tario
es verdad que los pario tenes razon anda a buscar un lord ni por casualidad ,
No compares son cosas distintas
Cada grupo debe de tener su espacio...los mismos purples lo citan como dos de las bandas que los influenciaron
The (horrible) album cover was taken by Bruce Payne (DP's Manager) photo during a tour in India.
@ Vitor Mattos : After 7 or 8 years i started to feel the same, ahahah
the worst for sure...
Purple always gave a sh..t about their cover, esp after their reunion.
Always remembered it was Rogers pic if a trip in some shithole country?
@MLG HOBL and TBRO were not bad, I think. Even S & M was not shitty at all.
Molto bello ,great Depp.
Great album....same old feel. And Steve more than makes up for Blackmore's absence although I don't want to take away anything from the erstwhile great. Miss you very much Jon Lord (R.I.P.)
Best Deep Purple album with Steve Morse. Cover art is shit.
che brutto.
yeah good album but stupid title album and ugly cover album ..... but bands or rock bands sometimes like to choose stupid title and put ugly cover
Every review I read said this album is not that good. I actually like it a lot. I'm glad I heard this.
whol album on bananas sounds crazy .... sure like video ?!
Whose idea was that cover?
My mother's!!! Why? You have a problemo?
Great album, but the cover art is fucking horrible.
Yeah...it really SUCKS!
racists
Are you taking the piss? Or are you serious? How is not liking it racist? I f-ing hate wankers who immediately leap to that small minded, pea-brained weapons grade stupidity. Based on what eh? Anyone who assumed it had something to do with the guys on the cover is the racist
Of course i'm kidding. I just think it's an amazing album cover. I mean, it's a dude sitting on a pile of fucking bananas!!!!!
purple the best!
Dumb lyrics
Awesome Deep Purple album few people know about. Every song is great in this LP.
pizzzzzzzdato
охуенно....
I went back to the house of pain then got twenty+-six of their tunes on ipod through both iTunes and purchased cd's like Bananas,. then I got 3 Air Raid speakers and mounted them to my XR50L loud as can be...... Purple is really great as I ride and some peeps say, wow, that is really good music, minus a few. Good superbesttunes I guess
IT S NO A-BAND-ON.BUT U GOT TO
DIG STEVE
One of their best albums. Great songs. Worst album cover ever.
What??? Best what???
@Jon Blackers it's about some silly EU regulation about the fact that bananas should be straight to sell. Anyway Ian Gillan thinks it's silly.. :-) it's about silly regulations regarding our lives..
@micke boberg He also claimed way back that this album was going to be their Sgt Peppers
@Jon Blackers Maybe it wasn't... :-)
'Worst Album Cover' you say in your comment but..this is with secret,hidden meaning.
Deep Purple contnue rocking in this album and I am glad to listen to the album now in 2020. 😈
Exellent!
underrated album..lots of fun songs
Amo este pinches disco
ótimo!!
Excelente álbum.
R.I.P. JOHN. U ARE THE MAD SCIENTIST OF THE 21 CENTURY!!!!! GODSPEED KING!!!? PEACE OUT, BRO
