Deep Purple - Lay Down, Stay Down Lyrics






I don't care if my lady's gone
as long as you give me just what I want.
I've been losin' my direction,
got to find a new connection.

You have wasted the love I tasted,
now I'm really gettin' hungry more and more.
Been a long time, had a bad sign.
Tell me what am I fighting for?

Let me know you feel it,
you know I really need it.
Keep on pushin' for more,
lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
there's one thing I really need.
I'm gonna tell you right now,
lay down, stay down.

Lookin' for trouble, I guess that's right.
When I was young I was taught to fight.
It's been long gone since I had known,
now I'm headin' for some more.

Let me know you feel it,
you know I really need it.
Keep on pushin' for more,
Lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
there's one thing I really need.
I'm gonna tell you right now,
lay down, stay down.

Let me know you feel it,
you know I really need it.
Keep on pushin' for more,
lay down, stay down.
I got something to find,
there's one thing I really need.
I'm gonna tell you right now,
lay down, stay down.

    Almost has an AC/DC vibe to it.

  3. D.... C....

    Classic rock 'n' roller from a classic album. It also rocked live (California Jam dvd).

  4. J.... A....

    This solo is amazing. Overall this song should have a lot more views, oh well those who appreciate it appreciate it

  5. F.... W....

    OMG...this is really ROCK AND ROLL without any deviation....PURE HOLY ROCK!!!

  8. R.... B....

    Ian Paice is a monster , a friggin' gifted monster!!....this was/is one killer album!..

  14. c.... a....

    The drumming!!!! Holy ssssshhhheeeeeeeeeeeeettt!!

  15. B.... M....

    Even though this is post Ian Gillan, the cover art/album design/album tunes is top drawer Deep Purple. Storm bringer then and after is a slow decline. Richie Blackmore is what puts this album over, and dont you forget it! Bob, 64, at Classic Rock Central. P.S.. Blackmore's Rainbow album ''Man on the silver mountain' puts Rithie Ritchie squarely back in top form in '76, lest you forget.

  16. J.... F....

    Absolutely blistering solo from Ritchie!

  17. j.... j....

    the guitar riff is "borrowed" from mountain 'blood of the sun'.

    j.... j....

    Whoa!! Now that you say....could be!!

    j.... j....

    Who came first?

    j.... j....

    @jp codnia mountain-first album 1969

    j.... j....

    @jp codnia ,
    isn't it obvious?i wrote that the guitar riff is "borrowed" from mountain 'blood of the sun'
    not the other way round, 'blood of the sun' was recorded in 1969, 'lay down,stay down'
    was recorded in 1973.

  18. �.... �....

    Jon's piano intro is just awesome! very neat!

  19. S.... F....

    Ian Paice Numero Uno

  20. M.... ....

    Ian Paice dá show

  21. P.... O....

    G.H. still killing D.C....

  22. e.... m....

    probably best purple album ever

  23. C.... E....

    I love seeing all the love for Paicey!! The dude is brilliant!!

  24. a.... 6....

    Glenn, Glenn, Glenn! 😍

  25. A.... C....

    Damn Glenn Hughes

    A.... C....

  26. M.... ....

    Heavy rockn roll

  27. D.... F....

    this is fuckin beautiful

  28. A.... 0....

    J'adore le solo de Ritchie Blackmore (et un de plus, un!). Rory Gallagher réussissait lui aussi à faire chanter ses cordes. C'est d'autant plus remarquable que, dans le genre, ils ne sont pas si nombreux... C'est clair, il y a plein de virtuoses mais de là à maîtriser à ce point là...

    A.... 0....

    Le meilleur solo de Ritchie de tous les temps, il me donne la chair de poule.

  29. D.... D....

    Gillan and Glover could have handled this song too. It feels like a MK 2 number.

  30. T.... R....

    Glenn Hughes and David Coverdale ... What a fantastic combination !!!

    T.... R....

    ohhh yes

  31. T.... R....

    Best Deep Purple album

  32. M.... R....

    Lay down say down

  33. M.... G....

    C'mon man, how many drummers can play a drum solo over a verse.
    Ian Paice is truly a legend of legends.

    M.... G....

    I hear that my friend Ian Paice is the best!!!

    M.... G....

    I think he is

    M.... G....

    this explains exactly that !
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDTXKVFJj8A

    M.... G....

    Ian Paice is Buddy Rich's son for sure.

    M.... G....

    @Dach \m/ Metal Smash Montages boring...

  34. s.... m....

    awesome drumming, heard it loads of times, just realised!

  35. B.... B....

    There’s one thing I really need- I’m gonna tell you right now. DEEP PURPLE!!!!!!!

  36. j.... ....

    El mejor solo de ritchie!!!!!!!!!

  37. D.... A....

    Two words: Ian Paice.

  38. I.... ....

  39. J.... N....

  42. D.... J....

  43. I.... P....

  48. m.... s....

    David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes.....what a powerful duo !

  49. R.... P....

    Amei cara <3

  50. b.... ....

    Where are the "more cowbell" assholes ?? LOL!!

    b.... ....

    They are sucking a big cowbell cock....

  51. j.... T....

    Impecable el solo de blackmore que pedazo de bestia

    j.... T....

    Putaso bestia !

  52. C.... Q....

    Still sounds amazing. And I love John Lord but the smartest thing about this track is not over-extending it by giving him a solo too.

  53. N.... C....

    Ian Paice!

  54. E.... ....

    Real Rock n Roll. Killer hook, great rhythm section, awesome solo w/ great piano parts underneath it.

    E.... ....

    People simply do not know how to do it anymore. So I have to go back to 1974 to listen to music that makes my blood boils.

    E.... ....

    I know.

  55. d.... ....

    flor de solo de guitarra impecable...

  56. W.... O....

    Proctology exam? Someone eager for?

  57. W.... O....

    The song is great, and the horny suckers should go around the net, here is more about like...music.

  58. b.... ....

    Killer Romp

  59. T.... ....

    So Leslie west influenced a lot of guitar players at that time, including Ritchie Blackmore who definitely was inspired for the main riff in this song, from Mountain's Blood of the sun

    T.... ....

    And Leslie was inspired by Cream ...

    T.... ....

    And Cream, or Eric Clapton, got inspiration from the old Blues players.

    T.... ....

    Clive Bindley and thus on down the line.

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

    Killer drum patterns

  61. n.... e....

    ¡¡¡¡¡¡woooooooooooooow!!!!!!!!!

  62. K.... 1....

    what a solo !. (again).

  63. D.... P....

    Check Ritchie's background licks behind the verses. GROUSE! (Y) :D

  64. S.... ....

    One dislike, come on...
    Anyway, great song!

  65. E.... ....

    Stratocaster-powered rock.

           Clench your jaw and twist your head.

    E.... ....

    @Exiles800 Yeah, and dig Paicey playing every drum fill known to man in under 4 minutes and 20 seconds.

    E.... ....

    ...yes, a Strat is the cat, in one mans awsome hands, witness exibit A-Ritchie Blackmore.

  66. s.... ....

    Ian Paice on the drums...YES! Great tune!

    s.... ....

    @strangeman509 Nothin' beats a classic. What was Coverdale thinkin' to try to remake his new rendition more awesome than this?

    s.... ....

    jimmiemclovin - He was probably just having fun and trying to remind people of his Purple chapter and turn some younger people on to it. I’m sure he didn’t set out to top the originals and that even trying would be silly.

  67. A.... Y....

    Послушав замечательные во всех отношениях новые версии классики DP,   с "нового" альбома The Purple Album (2015), мне почему-то  захотелось вдруг вернуться к первоисточнику.  Казалось я слушал альбом Burn тысячу раз,  но время ни на йоту не ослабило его величия и значимости в истории рока.  На мой взгляд лучшая запись состава MK III...

    A.... Y....

    @Виктор Решетников   Даже если закрыть глаза на критику Гиллана альбомов этого состава,  Burn получился великолепным, в отличии от Stormbringer, в отношении которого мои эмоции не столь однозначны...

    A.... Y....

    that's right

  68. M.... B....

    The whole band is awesome i been DP fan since 1970 but in this song and any DP song Ian paice is the driving beat behind DP Ian is the only drummer DP has ever had and rightfully so he is one of the best rock drummers of all time and the drumming in this song is off the hook. The RnR Hall of Fame don"t know what they are missing ROCK ON DP!!!!!!!!!!!

  69. D.... M....

    τρελάθηκαν τα ντράμια λέμε!

  70. s.... ....

    This tune makes me wonder how Bon Scott would've sounded with DP. Mythical & epic, is my guess.

  71. N.... ....

    0 dislikes :)

    N.... ....

    now there are six bieber fans

  72. A.... D....

    Great tune!!!!!

  73. G.... G....

    one of Blackmore's best solos

    G.... G....

    every Blackmore' s solo is the best

    G.... G....

    I was just gonna type those exact words

  74. M.... ....

    Curiously this song share the same starting riff as Blood of the Sun by Mountain, except for the ending of that same riff!

    M.... ....

    MrUrgando also similar to Nobody’s Home from Perfect Strangers.

  75. L.... ....

    a music tech exam for college students:)

  76. r.... ....

    Am I the only one with no clue what this "exam" thing is?

  77. W.... P....
