Deep Purple – Mtv Lyrics  Share

From Deep Purple's album: Rapture Of The Deep

I was driving through the night
Into an endless tunnel of fog
When it dawned on me something was wrong
I was in a trance, hypnotised
Bored beyond belief
I was listening to the same old song
I know every lick, every word
Every nuance
I^,m on first name terms with the crew
But I^,d better get used to this poop du jour
Sure as hell they won^,t play anything new
Oh yes I love you really
Classic Rock Radio
Oh my dear it^,s time for bed
Time for you to go
Everyone is asleep
The pirates took to water, stole the charts
But sadly that didn^,t go down well with those upstairs
Who require loyalty
The establishment considered
That the uncontrolled appreciation of music
Was a danger to royalty
The mighty empire roared
As Cash ^,n^, Everett on the high seas
Looked like they^,d get blown out of the water
They did of course eventually come ashore
As meek as mice or to be more accurate
As lambs to the slaughter
Oh yes I love you really
[ Mtv lyrics from

I stand to attention
Oh Fanny, I love you dearly
Something else I should mention?
You sweet thing
Let^,s not talk about MTV
I don^,t even want to start
I want to take a look at Classic Rock Radio
We^,re talking about the state of the art
Mr Grover ^,n^, Mr Gillian
You musta made a million
The night that Frank Zappa caught on fire
Could you tell us all about it
Keep it short and use my version
Or everyone out there^,ll think I^,m a liar
We can speak about Bananas for one second
Just because I understand
You have to get them off your chest
But in the meantime while your talking
Could you do some more of these here ID^,s
And then this station might maintain some interest
Oh yes I love you dearly
But why do you exist?
Oh yes I love you really
Is there something that I missed?
