Deep Purple - Time For Bedlam Lyrics






Descending the cold steps of the institution for the politically insane
Never to be seen again
Saying farewell to daylight
From henceforth I shall rot in a stinking bed of wet straw

Right from the ashes of life I learned to behave
What to believe, what not to say, from cradle to grave
Ah..... like a good little slave

Sucking my milk from the venomous tit of the state
This clearly designed to suppress every thought of escape
Ah..... I surrender to fate

No pity, no pity
Don't want no pity for me in this filthy ceil
I'll see you in hell
See you in hell

Frozen in time, I'm a specimen pinned to my throne
With an army of butterflies pilloried placid and prone
Ah..... we were never alone

No pity, no pity
Don't want no pity for me in this filthy ceil
I'll see you in hell

After centuries of living with nothing but my convictions
Broken fingers clawing through the walls of my incarceration
Escaping the clutches of eternal damnation
I was justified

    Sorry guys ... This ain't DP no more ... for a much longer time prior to his 'Infinite' crap actually.

    H.... M....

    What Are you talking about?Paice Glover gillan not Dp?

  6. O.... M....

    This album is great and bye the way Ritchie WHO????

  7. S.... M....

    I love that keyboard solo so much

  8. d.... ....

    Hello, everybody, I saw them last night in Chicago and I had the chance to meet them in person. I told Roger I hope You play many more concerts. He crossed his fingers and said to me I hope so. They are over their 70 and they still rock and roll

  9. M.... ....

    Looks like Pictures Of Home got a younger brother :) DP can be accused of self-repeating quite some times - but we're still suckers for that sound, are we not :) !?

  10. M.... F....

    Antártida, terra plana, Deep Purple amazing!!

  11. R.... V....

    Love them but not the same without Blackmore.

  12. v.... ....

    You can't fuck with Stevie Morse. Guitar God. NUFF SAID. ✌

  16. x.... E....

    You made a pact or what?

  17. R.... K....

    Ian just gets more and more profound with time, not that he was not already.

  18. A.... V....

    Man the lyrics to this one really hit home hard ....

  19. Z.... ....

    England is lost. The traitorous multi-nationals have let the enemy at the gates in to conquer and police the serfs into submission. They have poisoned the population with GMO's and chemical warfare (SSRI's) for decades making them infertile and weak, unable to wipe their own soy boy asses as they stand their shitting their trousers as the invaders rape their daughters.

  24. b.... V....

    This album is one of the greatest deep purple ever. Gillian is so talented period. Love the guy.

  25. v.... g....

    Being in a cell is one thing, another is torture by long ours of hard work in a freezing cold. People can get used to anything, but not to cold. You always suffer from cold, day after day, year after year. Your malnurished body always screams in pain and bed with a wet (not frozen) straw would be such a sweet liberation.
    Excellent song, no one writes songs about good and evil anymore. Thank you DP!

  26. A.... J....

    Wow. Super

  27. M.... G....

    Old great hard rock. Perfect D.P.!

  28. E.... L....

    I love this track. It combines both the best of the old and the new. A triumph, in my view.

  29. D.... C....

    Fantastici

  30. T.... M....

    has blackmores wife whored him out to a broken ass Renaissance fair? Probably....so no disrespect to the monster that was ritchie .but....Steve Morse has it in spades .just an opinion from a long time purp.fan.check out perfect strangers video.made 30 miles from me in Stowe vt.they played a small bar there .sorry to say I was 14 and missed it .the best underrated hard psychedelic band that was and is r.i.p. John lord .love youz guys tm

  31. A.... S....

    inFinite won't be the last album by Deep Purple. Steve Morse has said that they will be working on a new album during 2019. Search it up if you don't believe me :)

  32. W.... E....

    Awesome Video

  33. d.... ....

    Awesome record here from the Godfathers of heavy metal.

  34. S.... H....

    horror author of DEATH TAX at amazon.com books sez: Pleasantly surprised how good this sounds, reminiscent of vintage PURPLE, though with IG realizing he's no longer a 25-year-old vocal acrobat and staying within his range.

  35. a.... s....

    Beatles, Rolling Stones e Deep Purple, the Best. ....Guns, J Jovi, Queen, Led Zeppelin, para sempre os eternos reis do Hard rock

  36. r.... ....

    Good, Bad & Ugly all at the same time!
    good: Gillan, Glover and Paice can still kill it!
    bad: the chorus - horrible....i can live with the main section (sounds like pictures of home)
    ugly: the chanting - why....such a great legacy to go out with this!

  37. R.... A....

    I love this song!

  38. x.... ....

    Old Age Pensioneers on the RAMPAGE........ MOVE A'SIDE !

  39. A.... S....

    Deep Purple IS Ian Paice, Jon Lord, Ritchie Blackmore, Nick Simper, Rod Evans, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, David Coverdale, Glenn Hughes, Tommy Bolin, Joe Lynn Turner, Joe Satriani, Steve Morse and Don Airey!

    La 🐺❤ la 🎼Deep Purple "Time For Bedlam" Official Lyric Video from the new album "inFinite.•'**☆ ╰⊰✿ 🎹🎸 Je le réitère : Magnifiquement gorgeous : vocal, musical & visuel so impeccablement swell !

  83. R.... B....

    This song is so bad ass!

  84. P.... A....

    Purple great album. Remember the genius behind The Wall of Pink Floyd or Destroyer of KISS, Mr. Bob Ezrin, more than a Producer.

  85. �.... �....

    SUPER !!!!!!!!!! Просто разрыв мозга !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  86. M.... H....

    If you consider that Mr. Page quit playing decades ago, Purple amazes me, even if their performance and especially the awfully bad sound at their last tour in Frankfurt was not too convincing.

  87. N.... D....

    Obra maestra!!!Lejos la mejor banda de todos los tiempos!!!

  88. D.... P....

    The Deep Purple intro I like the most.

  89. c.... c....

    1st iron maiden (Bruce dickinson) then the others

  93. P.... U....

    Oh yeah, you are now so mystic than you are i n 70's. Thank you!

  94. M.... R....

    Great band!!! Great album to frost a career!!! I seen them on The Long Goodbye tour, they were great! Spot on, with a slightly altered version of Fireball and Hush, in addition to Perfect Strangers, Highway Star, Space Trucking, Strange Kind of Woman, Smoke on the Water, Knocking at your Back Door,Time for Bedlam. Great show, Alice Cooper and Edgar Winter were great too. I seen Deep Purple in 2005 also, and I think they were actually better this time around in September 2017. Incredible group, and I sure hope they consider further recording. Airey and Morse are great talents too who have waved the DP flag properly, retaining the classic sonic ambiance and taking the band in a slightly different direction. They have added another wonderful dimension to a legendary band over the last couple of decades. Cheers!

  95. A.... B....

    Classic!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍

  96. J.... L....

    Xtraordinary sounds

  97. M.... S....

    Amazing and original!
