Deep Purple - Living Wreck Lyrics






You came along for a weekend
But you only stayed for one night
You pulled off your hair
You took out your teeth
Oh I almost died of fright
You'd better do something for your own sake
Yes it's a shame
Ah you know you're a living wreck

You said you were a virgin
Full of promise and mystery
But I know that you
Would bring me down
'Cos everyone calls you big G
You'd better do something for your own sake
Yes it's a shame
Ah you know you're a living wreck

  9. M.... F....

    Deep Purple, the Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. E.... L....

    Drums and bass are dancing and piano is screaming guitar is fired up and singing is from belly.

  11. n.... ....

    Mark2 created their own genre with this monumental album. A genre of which only they ever played.

  12. n.... ....

    The incomparable Jon Lord and his amazing diversity. He rarely if ever produced the same sound on any studio song or live version of a song. His screeching sound here is, of course, unique and brilliant.

  13. �.... T....

    Animal's control, a f'cking jaguar is on my song

  14. T.... ....

    for me the best song of Purple besides Speed ​​King! Unmatched their legendary album "Deep Purple in Rock"

  15. K.... P....

    This is music . ( Ian Gillan , John Lord , Ian Paice , and Roger Glover .....)

  16. H.... H....

    0:39 Gillan enters the matrix

  17. P.... Z....

    When this album came out, no one was ready for it.

    P.... Z....

    Oh by the way, Fuzz tone.

  18. R.... M....

    Bass carpet for Hammond solo ❤️

  19. m.... l....

    thier best album got this when i was about 15 was too young when it first came out i was only 10!

  20. R.... G....

    2:25 *"Lost At Birth"* .."by the way of the S1Ws*

  21. D.... B....

    Public Enemy!!!

  22. S.... R....

    Ian Paice, man.... Ian fucking Paice.

  23. V.... S....

    Super sound!

  24. R.... J....

    All songs in In Rock are greattttttt

  25. B.... C....

    0:14 Hammond Organ + Leslie Speaker

  26. R.... L....

    linda canção!!!

  27. n.... ....

    Mark2 was quite simply the greatest group of pure rock musicians ever.

  28. E.... m....

    i have listened many famous rock bands especially in the 60s but this album beside being the best i have ever listened i think no band will ever created music such as this album.

  29. M.... L....

    Just listen to the bass, the drumming, organ and guitar and not least Ian's voice. You will not hear anything else quite like it. Individually brilliant, together just magic! Pure rock.

  30. f.... ....

    Best drumming I've ever heard.

  31. R.... M....

    Merci Timaeus1 for this Opus 💖♪ ♫ 🎸🎷 🎻🎹🎺🌺🎧
    Great sound !

  32. A.... C....

    https://youtu.be/8qoTibuuqyE

  33. n.... ....

    Gillan is at the top of his game on this magnificent song.

  34. a.... s....

    Ian paice

  35. M.... ....

    My favourite in case of the text, vocals. Epic, great, a real anthem

  36. S.... M....

    Just seen the comment below but going to say anyway..
    Ian's fantastic on this..
    That SNARE SOUND..!!!
    AWESOME..!!!!

  37. I.... K....

    one of the best songs of DP(original band)

  38. S.... I....

    i grew up with this music. it never has been leaving me

  39. �.... �....

    The Lonely Rocker digs this song!

  40. D.... J....

    Paicey shouldn't switch to Pearl. That Ludwig sound kick ass!

  41. M.... b....

    1969 for this music at this time this music is as heavy rock/metal as it comes!!

  42. P.... D....

    Fuck you .... you losers that put thumbs downs ... stick your thumb up your ass ...then suck it.

  43. n.... ....

    What a magnificent rock song. Mark 2 at their incomparable best. Their first four albums were each entirely group compositions.

  44. B.... B....

    Even if mankind will be destroyed, Deep Purple's music will never cease to exist.

  45. n.... ....

    Listen to this five times and concentrate on a different member each time and you then appreciate how one of a kind good these five really were.

  46. n.... ....

    One of Mark 2's best songs. Would qualify for their all-time double album.

  47. n.... ....

    Amazingly enough Paice may have been the best of the five and that's really saying something. He was the only constant during the entire time and he always seemed to be correct with his enormous contributions.

  48. T.... R....

    GREAT !!!!!

  49. g.... n....

    Masterpiece

  50. R.... ....

    The album cover is Mt. Blackmore.😎

  51. R.... ....

    The Hammond C3 organ of Jon Lord on the song it's like a big mean leopard growling. It sounds so freaking cool.

  52. R.... ....

    You took off your hair you pulled out your teeth yep!

  53. �.... �....

    Ian really kicks ass on this track. great job!

    �.... �....

    SPECIFY YO IAN

    �.... �....

    And he went off on her...

  54. D.... S....

    i think i remember the note on the album...support your local groupie or something like that

    D.... S....

    Haha. Groupie = Putita

  55. E.... L....

    E.... L....

  56. H.... H....

    Gillan is great. But this track with Coverdale...!!!

  57. R.... G....

    Great track of a legendary album! five fabulous virtuosos, and this mythical album cover!

  58. �.... �....

    the drum job here is second to none! just mindblowing drumming!

  59. T.... ....

    Ian Paice just laying down that groove. What an awesome drummer. Then again, for this kind of music you must have a great drummer(Bonham, Ward, etc.)

  60. A.... B....

    Put Zack de la Rocha singing this and you''ll have a Rage against the machine song !!

  61. B.... D....

    uff jbte ovo je klasik

  62. r.... ....

    Ian Paige is on fire in this song

    r.... ....

    yes and roger glover

    r.... ....

    r.... ....

    Metronome Ian the best

    r.... ....

    @Kevin Woods @ 22 !!

    r.... ....

    Yeah but Ian Paice

  63. r.... ....

    One of the Heaviest Hard Rock Songs EVER ! Ian's drumming here is ROCK ON !

  64. F.... B....

    2:18 Bautiful, beautiful, beautiful... Ian Paice is the man!

  65. R.... v....

    I'am a living Wreck!

  66. F.... ....

    bst dp track ever

  67. M.... j....

    Rewelacyjny zespół. Niech gra jak najdłużej.

  68. j.... ....

    ...full of promise and mystery, but I knew that you would bring me down cause everyone calls you big G...

    j.... ....

    Why the "big G" ??

    j.... ....

    The G spot refers to a spot on a woman''s privates. so if they call her big G I believe it's because she has a reputation for sleeping around. Or there's G strings that women wear and if she's been sleeping around well the G string has to be larger. You get the idea.

  69. P.... R....

    Raw, Hard, Tight Bad ass riot music. Deep Purple went their own way. Fans of them are few, because only a few get what they were saying.

  70. R.... A....

    Son lo mejor en la historia del Hard rock yo soy hulk

  71. R.... v....

    The Best!

  72. j.... ....

    Listen to that lead, not the fastest, but incredible. Genius.

  73. F.... P....

    TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  74. M.... b....

    This album was the start of it all heavy rock ,metal ,heavy progressive you name this is it period!!!!!!

    M.... b....

    Mark brown Agree 100%

    M.... b....

    no - the starting shot of the Hard Rock-Mucke was from Steppenwolf in 1967: born to be wild - there deep purple was still very tender on the way

    M.... b....

    Right from Speed king i can say this is the year 0 of thrash metal

    M.... b....

    Mark brown i know a Mark Brown. B-town aka Barbertucky to some. Know gus sister, too.
    Out there.
    Somewhere
    Doing jt again
    Listening to this.
    🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶

  75. l.... r....

    This album came through a stargate on the way to Hendrix land.

  76. l.... r....

    The middle section of the song was repeated in the Bad attitude song in 1987, classic DP motif.

  77. L.... P....

    Songs like this are helping me like this album more, but In Rock will always be one of my least fave of DP's 1st 8 albums; trouble is 1st 3 albums (pre Gillan Glover) r so strong & so are #'s 5,6,8.

  78. M.... I....

    one of the bestest songs ever!!!

  79. b.... a....

    Solo para dioses

  80. N.... A....

    LEGENDARY !!!!!!! LEGENDS !!!!!

  81. l.... g....

    HIghly underratted track. Brilliant drumming!!! Great music.

  82. I.... R....

    Deep purple es lo mejor

  83. J.... M....

    This song has it all and I mean it has it all for a hard rock tune. God damn...great. What a riff, different drumming patterns from Paice rather than the usual high hat action. Wow! Great riffs by all players.

  84. a.... t....

    25 years ago i started to play bass listening Living Wreck and No No No... really thanks Roger

  85. t.... 8....

    i could sing that bass line all day

    t.... 8....

    Hahaha!! Best comment on the entire thread

  86. �.... �....

    Ian Paice !OMG!!

  87. S.... S....

    Супер!!!

  88. P.... ....

    Blackmore 's lazy guitar solo and Lord's rasping organ complement Paice's thumping drum rolls perfectly

  89. S.... S....

    Фантастика!!!

  90. B.... ....

    RIP Jon Lord

  91. t.... ....

    For me, better than "Smoke on the Water"!

  92. A.... D....

    That organ at 0:14 looks like a black panther. badaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!

  93. J.... R....

    Phoda!!!!!!!!!

  94. W.... K....

    Best band in the history

    W.... K....

    Most talented group of musicians ever.

    W.... K....

    I agree

    W.... K....

    yes U R right, but listen to Axel Rudi Pell "Ride the rainbow", "Casbah", "Hot wheels", "Cry of the gypsy", "Coming home", "Legions of hell", "Edge of the world", "Follow the sign" - over 50 masterpieces of ARP-)) -
    in high sound quality like living wreck , nearly nobody knows

    W.... K....

    BEST IN T' WORLD!!!

  95. T.... ....

    Kick ass Rock N Roll!

  96. S.... K....

    Hi everybody...Ian had a mild stroke...anybody know how's he doing ?????

    S.... K....

    Paice, or Gillan?

    S.... K....

    It was Paice .He seemed to be back playing after a couple weeks .Medication  worked . You can go to thehighwaystar.com  and find most of the info .

  97. k.... 0....

    another underrated song by deep purple

    k.... 0....

    Every track in "Deep Purple In Rock" is a masterpiece....THEIR UNDISPUTEDLY BEST ALBUM

  98. K.... L....

    THAT GROOVE MAN.
    IAN PAICE THE GREATEST. HE, BONHAM AND WARD GOT THE FUNK.

  99. C.... ....

    After all these years.. I still ask myself how Mr. Blackmore played that solo... Iv`e seen a few guitar covers here on youtube and none did ever even come close to that sinister atmosphere you can feel - Living Wreck is next to "Child in Time" my absolute favourite, as it paints an accurate picture of an ugly figure.( Person)

    C.... ....

    Deep Purple - Living Wreck - guitar solo cover - Hans S https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSWbcAuxKDs&feature=youtu.be
