Deep Purple - Hell To Pay Lyrics






Big Betty or Two-tone Annie his hair was never right
He used to be cool with a glint in his eye but he lost it overnight
Spinning would change and things are rearranged and then Annie says to me
Nothing wrong with the way it was that's the way it's meant to be...

Up the revolution we're all prepared to die
Up the revolution that was the battle cry

There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay
There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay

Annie was a die-hard rebel in the good old days of way back when
The cigarette was cool and all the kids in school could read and count to ten
Annie once said he had a few to bribe of that there was no doubt
He never could make us understand what the rebellion was all about...

Up the revolution we're all prepared to die
Up the revolution that was the battle cry

There's gonna be Hell, yeah, Hell to pay
There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay

Two-tone Annie drew up battle plans for making love not war
Everybody laughed at the fighting in the streets and behind the garden door
It came to nothing when it all went down and the band began to play
Another plan put your head in the sand live to fight another day...

Up the revolution we're all prepared to die
Up the revolution that was the battle cry

There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay
There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay
There's gonna be Hell, Hell to pay
There's gonna be Hell

Deep Purple Hell To Pay Comments
  1. T.... G....

    Best song in the album and after Vincent priest I needed this

  2. M.... ....

    Greatest hard rocking legends!!!!!! Godfathers of hard and heavy!!!

  3. M.... G....

    Damn such a good song from the Legends, Gillan sounds a bit more nasal than usual on the higher notes but it's still great, Paice is one of my favorite drummers, Roger Glover is rocking, Steve Morse is a really good replacement for Blackmore although he doesn't even come close to Blackmore, Don Aiery sounds great & is filling perfect ly for Jon Lord, in all a really good song from a band that is nearly 50 years old

  4. A.... M....

    Обалденно и бесподобно...

  5. J.... ....

    Pura mierda, parece que la gente olvido lo que era deep purple

  6. L.... K....

    Although I don't like Morse's style, this solo is pretty awesome and energetic. Some keyboard parts remind me too much of Jon Oliva's Raise the curtain.

  7. T.... D....

    Copyright challenge? I think the guys may have 'borrowed' from The Who (Who are You) here. Almost identical 1st verses.

  8. A.... A....

    sacabo cabos sueltos

  9. p.... ....

    Great Deep Purple...................with just a hint of yes in the organ.

  10. A.... w....

    Now in 2016 Deep Purple will go into the studio again with Bob Ezrin to record yet another album! Keep your ears and eyes open!

    A.... w....

    The english folks still got the crown of rock, that's been questioned by the scandinavian, at least we have to choose from, that's a relief. But what really brings me joy is knowing that Glenn Hughes is the one kicking everyone's ass with baddassery on all genres, after watching the documentary on Deep Purple and seeing Jon Lord openly mocking Glenn for his lyrics and stuff. Guess who still alive and kickin', bitch? Fuck yeah!

    A.... w....

    And seems they nail it again. Just hope Bob Ezrin produce, at least, one or two more Deep Purple albuns, before any of them retire...

  11. B.... I....

    Great new album. Steve Morse is an excellent replacement for Richie! Great replacement for Jon Lord also(his name escapes me). Yeah baby they still got it!!!

    B.... I....

    +Blaine Isker Don Airey :D

    B.... I....

    check on Steve, "more than adequate" - the guy BURNS!

  12. o.... k....

    Supernatural :)

  13. 9.... ....

    This is Donald Trumps election theme song, Hell Toupee'

  14. K.... J....

    It's a shame that Gillian looks like he's in pain when he's trying to hit the higher notes in stuff like Highway Star... At least Deep Purple are still rocking to this day, despite that.

  15. H.... F....

    Magic from the Godfathers of Metal

  16. P.... 6....

    usual terrible purple track with inane lyrics much as I love old purple this is forgettable sounds like Gillan which despite seeing them in concert in 81 I also can't stand' sorry buts its awful.

    P.... 6....

    But dat keyboard solo

    P.... 6....

    First of all it's not terrible it's not the old DP but it still sounds better than a lot of new rock. And you did not see them in 81' cause they were not together then so i think your creditablity on this does not carry a lot of weight. Sorry but they still sound great for what they are putting out. Rock on DP!!!!!!!

    P.... 6....

    Mark brown Thats weird I distinctly remember seeing Gillan during the future shock tour in 1981

    P.... 6....

    Sorry about that thought you were talking about DP not Gillan band

    P.... 6....

    Mark brown I wish....I was too young to see DP😭

  17. C.... B....

    Me alegro de escucharlos nuevamente....

  18. M.... ....

    I hope they are not reffering to the ticket prices :)

  19. A.... K....

    My chubby step-brother managed to make the hottest pole dancer there is in my town fall for him as he used the Cupid Love System (Google it). It’s bad but I wish I became joyful for him but I want such a sexy lady to fall for me. I’m exceptionally envious. Does that make me a lousy human being?

  20. S.... N....

    Up 2 Valhala.. Up 2 Hafrsjord... UP 2 and 4 2 Evolution.... and FOR DP as well. Long Live to evrybody hwo realy understands Classic Rock! C U at Rubikon River---VIKINGS.

  21. c.... ....

    NEW DEEP PURPLE?!....downloading now lol

  22. B.... M....

    great guitar solo

  23. C.... B....

    No...they just sound that way!

  24. C.... B....

    Yeah right this ain't a slack babbath video..you took a wrong turn.

  25. d.... m....

    yes i mean ian gillan... he is my favorite vocalist of all time and blackmore is my favorite guitarist ever... deep purple is my favorite band <3

  26. R.... ....

    holy colour ever

  27. S.... F....

    Deep Purple, Perfect Band !!!

  28. J.... ....

    People should cut off the "not original formation" shit.

    Deep Purple is still Deep Purple. And they're more awesome than ever.

    J.... ....

    I hear ya. MkII is by far my favorite iteration of Purple. MkIII was awesome too, but every line up was good. I can't think of even one Purple album that doesn't have something I like on it. It might have something to do with the fact that I'm a drummer and the one constant in the band has always been Ian Paice. he's the only member who's never gone anywhere and one of the very best rock drummers ever.

  29. 6.... ....

    Old School is back, better than ever

  30. c.... ....

    soooooo good !!!

  31. c.... ....

    soooooo good !!!

  32. c.... ....

  36. F.... L....

  37. J.... T....

    1971 óta ismerem Őket és nem tudok leszokni Róluk. Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  38. h.... h....

    Fantastisch....ich bin nicht umsonst 41 Jahre Deep Purple Fan

  39. b.... ....

    I met him in a record shop in Norwich when Mr Universe came out in 1979, I was 16 then. He was such a nice guy and signed the album Mr Universe and all the Purple album covers I had brought with me. He's still got a great voice too.

  40. 0.... ....

    Well done Deep Purple

  41. L.... T....

    I kept hearing this song on the radio. Had no idea it was Deep Purple! Good stuff.

  42. t.... ....

    excellent production

  43. A.... A....

    If you love Deep Purple, please buy their album! You are 'hell to pay' the iTunes!

  44. a.... h....

    Very good video. I'm here because my best friend all of the sudden became outstanding with women. He began attracting chicks magically. He pretended he failed to notice. He ultimately admitted it on Friday. Turns out he makes use of the Jake Ayres Master Attraction Formula. Google it and you will discover it... He is on a date right now with a sexy girl... Lucky guy!

  45. n.... ....

    The solo is really good!

  46. J.... M....

    good , it's fantastic song

  47. F.... S....

    Deep Purple forever !!

  48. d.... ....

    No doubt about class.

  49. S.... R....

    Not better...different... The new Sabbath album is a killer !!! Both bands are heroes....love 'em both !!!

  50. C.... B....

    Why would you ask such a moronic question?

  51. C.... B....

    Yes I know that you idiot..that's why I asked if he meant Gillan and not Blackmore.

    Give me strength, there are some morons on youtube!!

  52. M.... ....

    Just the greatest band ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

  53. C.... B....

    " paice, blackmore, airey, glovers and morse are ageless !!! "

    Don't you mean Gillan..not Blackmore?

  54. k.... ....

    Better than new Black Sabbath, unfortunately.

  55. a.... ....

    ¡¡¡Deep Purple debe utilizar el tema "Uncommon Man" como apertura en sus conciertos!!!

  56. B.... M....

    They are prepared to make good songs. Great!

  57. L.... K....

    For all of you that just have heard this shortend version: BUY the CD and hear Don Airey doing the best Jon Lord-solo Jon Lord never did!

  58. A.... S....

    "First Sign of Madness" is a extra bonus for the german version of "Now What!?" - Special Edition. Check it out!

  59. B.... M....

    thumbs up for these old but great musicians!

  60. C.... B....

    Up The Revolution...Power To The Purple!!

  61. A.... T....

    I'm one of l lucky's, who will listen Deep Purple after few days in Tbilisi.

  62. a.... r....

    rolisimaaaa!!!!!!!!! deep purple si gue con su misma escencia chingona de siempre !!!!

  63. M.... B....

    Deep Purple = Story of Rock!

  64. I.... B....

    nice solo

  65. i.... ....

    Amazing new album! The best since Purpendicular. And stop responding to people who talks about Blackmore, it was 93 and there was some shit albums with him too, not only Machine Head.

  66. j.... ....

    I never liked 'Che Guevara" T-shirts for some reason.
    (see Gillan;s wordography).

  67. j.... ....

    Such a great album and a great song.

    I wonder whether this "Eddie" is watching it right now...heh!heh!

  68. j.... ....

    DP, Maiden and Uriah Heep must be the 3 pillars of greatest rock music

  69. G.... F....

    Honestly, this isn't bad at all. Of course the band will always suffer the loss of Blackmore and Lord, but Don Airey is one of the good old veterans and Steve Morse is still quite good, just a different style.

  70. k.... ....

    Will we, fans, sing along the chorus with the band? :)

  71. R.... S....

    Well said! Remember also, Uriah Heep is still rockin'

  72. s.... ....

    hell yeah this album is a complete joy for us

  73. s.... ....

    I loved this new albun :)

  74. g.... ....

    Jon Lord - Don... My mission here is completed.. please continue my profecy...
    Don Airey - Jon, for you my friend, Deep Purple must continues !

  75. x.... ....

    we know their style and the voice of Ian Gillan among a thousand, a small return to originals

  76. T.... ....

    Fuck! this sounds so great, its like they are still in their earlies... Hope they continuous this path of quality music excelence! More live shows and albums for the deeps Please!

  77. S.... F....

    Super Banda!!!

  78. C.... B....

    No it's not Machine Head...that was 41 years ago!
    Move with the times..this is modern era Deep Purple...love it or hate it..this is how they are right now.
    Don't forget the heart ( Blackmore ) and the soul ( Lord )..are no longer in the band so to compare this to MH or Stormbringer is utter stupidity.

  79. B.... ....

    That is exactly what I thought.. What the hell.. ??? :(

  80. G.... ....

    Where the hell is the AMAZING Don's Hammond solo from the album version??????? Why would you cut that out???? It was magnificent!!!! If anything, it's one of the best tributes you can pay to Jon!

  81. T.... L....

    D.P.....wow....

  82. L.... A....

    The best they did since years, fuck it, just Purple, love it :D

  83. R.... ....

    I'm giong to see both of them this year and I can't wait for the 12th of June (Iron Maiden concert) and 1st-3rd of August (Wacken Open Air) to come.

  84. d.... ....

    Holy crap, these guys are still playing? Good on them

  85. B.... ....

    Deep Purple was the first band I listened to! I used to listen some kind of pop-shit, and then my uncle suggested to listen something he called "Deep Purple - Fireball"
    I was like: "Huh. Ok. Lets try it"
    And then i was like i opened another world. the world of rock :3
    And then i statred to listen Black Sabbath and other bands)

    Don't know about you guys, but I like the sound and these two songs from new album)
    So long live DP!

  86. d.... m....

    long live deep purple... the greatest and most consistent band ever !!! paice, blackmore, airey, glovers and morse are ageless !!! without lord and blackmore, they still sound great... after 45 years they still play real music, rock n' roll !!!

  87. V.... Z....

    Only 25 days left to me shouting with these guys in Kavarna/Bulgaria ! Deep Purple is No. 1 as of 1970 !

  88. V.... ....

    Long live this band! English Rock legends!

  89. G.... M....

    Man this music is just so amazing... but the vocals sound... blergh. His voice doesn't sound the way it used to. Personally I'm not a fan. But... I still admit this is the best music they've put out in forever.

  90. J.... ....

    I`m actually impressed. And that`s not easily accomplished.

  91. B.... R....

    album je prva liga i ovo je super stvar kao i DEEP PURPLE BRAAAAAAVVOOOOOO

  92. V.... d....

    perfect-purples gods,are back,-album of decade

  93. A.... S....

    Songs of DEEP PURPLE-BALM - per HEAD !!!

  94. j.... ....

    Me agrada que uno de los comentarios nombra a Blue Cheers... Reconocimiento a una banda casi desconocida.....Muy bueno Deep Purple....gracias x este video.

  95. N.... G....

    says you. Better than half the crap they put out in the 90's.

  96. N.... G....

    um yeah there is. Ian Gillan, Ian Paice, Roger Glover are all original. They are the core of this band ritichie was an attitude problem.

  97. N.... G....

    and further more idiots Iron Maiden have been heavily influenced by Deep Purple. Deep purple are the founders of heavy metal besides, Zepplin, & Blue Cheer. This is good music not sure what y'all complaining about.
