Old-Fangled Thing
Deep Purple
It was a hot steamy night
I was drinking on my own
Just me and my guitar
The bar was empty
Except for the regular few
Then along came you
Well, that sounds familiar
Uh uh, it's early days, unfinished tune, y'know how it is
Going nowhere up until now
I was dickin' around
Trying something new
Then along came you
You track me like a lover breathing down my neck
Tingle touching as I shiver in the heat
You're so serene and now I'm the living wreck
The melody is hot and the message so sweet
Sweet and spicy
It's feeling good man, it has that golden ring
That, that'll do nicely, something I can sing
I can get it down with this old fangled thing
Why does your eraser have a handle so long?
It's for the lead in my pencil man, I got to keep it sharp
Knock it into shape, I can't go wrong
But even then, when I'm done, here comes another part
You track me like a lover breathing down my neck, yeah
Tingle touching as I shiver in the heat
You're so serene and now I'm a living wreck
The melody is hot and the message so sweet
