Child in Time - Deep Purple

Deep Purple seem to have become known for only one song - Smoke on the Water - but are a great itish band with a library of excellent songs to choose from. Child in Time doesnt contain many lyrics, but does contain an incredible instrumental break highlighting keyboard and guitar solos, but also some incredible vocal "screaming" by singer Ian Gillian. A tempo build up drives this song to a head until it breaks down and replays the lyrical part. Written in 1969 off of their Deep Purple in Rock, it is another hefty song, weighing in at over 10 minutes.

Child In Time

Sweet child in time, you'll see the line
Line that's drawn between good and bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying, ooh taking toll
If you've been bad - Oh Lord I bet you have
And you've not been hit oh by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes, aahaouho bow your head
Wait for the ricochet

Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo..
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo..
Aaa-aaa-aaa..
Oh, I wanna hear you sing..
Aaa-aaa-aaa..
Oaoh..
AAA-AAA-AAA!!
AAA-AAA-AAA!!

Wait for the ricochet
