Deep Purple - Might Just Take Your Life

Live at the California Jam 6th April 1974 at the Ontario Speedway Los Angeles.

"I got more than I asked for,
There ain't nothin' I need.
I took all till I had more,
I'm always takin' the lead.

Old man shakin' dice down on the street,
Tryin' to make a livin' somehow
But I'm really sure about gettin' things sorted out
And I'm gettin' ready right now.

You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life.

I've been called by many names
And all of them are bad.
I can take it all the same,
It's all I've ever had.

I've got somethin' that you can't get
But one thing you can see
Gettin' there ain't easy
But it sure was hard for me.

You can't hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life.

Every time I take a look
There's someone close behind.
They never used to make a pass,
The things that crossed their minds.

Now they tell me that it's all right
And they want to be my friend.
They're ridin' on my back.
When is it goin' to end
You cant hold me,
I have told you.
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life,
Might just take your life.

Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need.
Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need.
Got more than I asked for,
Got more than I need.

is this an edited version? , there seems to be very little Blackmore here..when you do see him, near the end, he looks almost bored.

Not that I know of mate, you're right though, he does look a tad nochulant!

[davebest2001]

Thank you for posting this. It kicks SERIOUS arse. I reckon it's the best Deep Purple live clip I have ever seen. Coverdale is class.

[themule66]

no probs, glad you approve, cheers mate!

[richiekotzen]

hi. is this live at the california jam?

[themule66]

Yeah, second song of the set. It sounds even better if you add a little delay/echo as ABC sound/mixing is none too clever!

[23flowergirl]

It's hard to find a Deep Purple song that is NOT good.

[backdoorman357]

Burn is one of my favourite records ever!!!!!!!!

[TheDumbSwede]

I really like this song, but doesn't the riff seem a little similar to "My Woman From Tokyo?"

[RocoBruci]
