Deep Purple - Hungry Daze Lyrics






In a dark and sweaty room in '69 tables turning
Dancing girls, silly girls, all kinds of girls and it was loud
Tuning up to madness in the back room candles burning
Present the Stinking Hippy and throw the naked thunder to the crowd
In the Hungry Daze

The long and lonely highway drags along it's going nowhere
Sickness and disease and mad corruption
something's going wrong
The mountain's getting cold and lonely
the trees are bare
We all came out to Montreux
but that's another song
You've heard it all before
In hungry daze

Along the Mountain Road to do some drinking
and now we're mobile again
Different girls, laughing girls, forever girls
and it's so loud
The crew have lost again
they are beaten men
The winning team united
living for the crowd
These are the hungry daze

    In a dark and sweaty room in '69
    Tables turning
    Dancing girls, silly girls, all kinds of girls
    And it was loud
    Tuning up to madness in the back room
    Candles burning
    Present the Stinking Hippy and throw the
    Naked thunder to the crowd
    In the Hungry Daze
    The long and lonely highway drags along
    It's going nowhere
    Sickness and disease and mad
    Corruption
    Something's going wrong
    The mountain's getting cold and lonely
    The trees are bare
    We all came out to Montreux
    But that's another song
    You've heard it all before
    In hungry daze
    Along the Mountain Road to do some
    Drinking
    And now we're mobile again
    Different girls, laughing girls, forever
    Girls
    And it's so loud
    The crew have lost again
    They are beaten men
    The winning team united
    Living for the crowd
    These are the hungry daze

    Damn, all of the songs that I have heard from this album has been great! Perfect Strangers is the perfect comeback album. Love it.

    Perfect Strangers and UFO's Walk on Water are (to me) the best comebacks.

    parádny song.......dobré rocky

  15. s.... y....

    Que buen tema por dios👍👏👏👏

  16. M.... P....

    Half baked idea rooted in nostalgia for their 'comeback' album. Should never have gotten out of the studio. Only good thing about it is Blackmore's solo, but even that's a bit dodgy. The drums sound is way too soft for a hard rock band. And Gillan was already passed it, tries to scream & sings flat. Ghastly.

    M.... P....

    What absolute bullshit, get back to the bridge troll.

    M.... P....

    Ok I get ya! Kept it short and sweet dear. Ha ha. I saw them at the Ohio state fair couple years ago with Nazareth, wish I could have seen them in their prime with Richie and John but it was still good. Never smelled anything in the air, if ya know what I mean which was surprising. I was in the middle of the row with my wife and we were surrounded by grease ball dirt bags. Some idiot behind us cheered at everything, wish I had whatever he was taking. Their gonna be in Cincinnati this month with Iron Maiden I believe. Thought about going but probably not. Glad I did see them once anyhow even if two members weren't there. They should have gotten together with the mark3 guys and done a couple shows at least. That would have been something.

    M.... P....

    @What Fred Said why do all iudex always respond with can you do better that's his opinion go run to mommy and suckle some more

    M.... P....

    You're a fool these musicians are legendary

    M.... P....

    Mike Pitman: The expression is "past it", not "passed it". Your post is past it. :)

    Specjalne pozdrowienia dla KOLEGI sztywnego :D

  18. G.... P....

    great song but... what does "hungry daze" mean?

    G.... P....

    ah now I've understood thanks sir!

    G.... P....

    Maybe hungry days

    G.... P....

    It's kinda funny cause for some reason I used to think that the song was called Hungary Daze like the country lol probably had something to do with that exotic riff

  19. Q.... ....

    We all came out to Montreux, but that's another song lol

    Q.... ....

    Yeah, where Stevie Ray Vaughn KILLED and the stiffs in the crowd did NOT know what hit them.

    And before someone tries to correct me, cross reference it.

  20. G.... D....

    Am I the only one who thinks this would sound really cool if played on the cello?

    G.... D....

    +Ender Child That's probably how the riff was written, actually. Blackmore took up cello to find new chord progressions, etc.

  21. L.... ....

    deep purple me enloquece
