LYRICS
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And none of us could reach that high
She came on like a teaser
I had to touch and please her
Enjoy a little paradise
The lock was in my pocket
When Lucy met the rocket
She never knew the reason why
I can't deny it
With that smile on her face
Oh it's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
It's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running
It's not against the law
The point of no return
And now you know the score
And now you're learning
What's knockin' at your back door
Sweet Nancy was so fancy
To get into her pants
We had to be the aristocracy
The members that she toyed with
At city club were something in diplomacy
So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues
And now she eases gently
From her Austin to her Bentley
Suddenly she feels so young
I can't deny it
With that smile on her face
Oh it's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
It's knocking at the door
You know it's no good running
No it's not against the law
The point of no return
Now how you know the score
And now you're learning
What's knockin' at your back door
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
And one of us could reach that high
I can't deny it
With that smile on my face
Oh oh, it's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
Knocking at your door
You know it's no good running
No it's knocking at your door
Knockin' at your back door

[@TheOfficialMikeRoot]

I grew up listening to Deep Purple. This song and Perfect Strangers are two of my favorite songs. Jon Lord was a master on the keyboard. My Dad says one of the best concerts he ever seen was at The Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. It was in 1985 during the Perfect Strangers Tour. The entire stage was smoked out and the lazer light show was amazing. Richie Blackmore is seen walking in and kicks a soccer ball out into the crowd. Everyone went wild. They opened with Highway Star. I wish I would have grown up back in those days. Everyone went to concerts and they were dirt cheap. They'd hitchhike sometime from Northern Michigan all the way to Detroit or Pontiac. They didn't give a shit back in those days. They'd do anything to make it to a concert!!

[@jarheadlife]

I was a sophomore in HS in 85. My mom went to this same concert….she wouldn’t let me and my twin sister go lol. She did get us a few concert tees tho and that was cool. Great album for sure!!

[@bryanackeret5066]

I graduated from high school in 85 great times for music.

[@sunmanav8]

Yep, drove from Flint, MI to the 1982 Toledo Speedway Jam just after graduating from high school. Great music and great times.

[@perlofgren5089]

I saw this tour in Worcester, MA. Think it was late 84. I was only 15 and I had a ticket for my best friend Scott, but at the last minute he said he couldn't go, so I went by myself. My dad drove me to the arena and picked me up after. I went to probably 50 or 60 concerts in high school and my parents never gave me a hard time about it, although I'm sure they worried once I started driving myself to the shows. But nothing bad ever happened and I always had a great time while losing my hearing lol. I love you Mom and Dad and you too Scott, where ever you are!

[@alanschwamberger7398]

I grew up in Toledo and I've seen about 150 concerts, most in Detroit venues. Fuck the late 70s through the 80 and including some 90s was the best time for me at concerts.

Mmmhh thats debatable. Although their first albums were def hard rock. Into the 80's their music was more and more heavy. Listen to "stormbringer" , "perfect strangers" , "under the gun" compare it to other bands of the time that were considered metal. Judas priest " you got another thing coming" i.e. and you'll realize what I mean. Def has metal repertoire. They just didi'nt stick to that style so to speak.

i first heard this at 7 years old. the opening 60 seconds frightened me so much my mother says I ran away to my room. it feels like there is something evil, an inescapable doom approaching that is about to horrifically end your life, and there is nothing you can do. days later i had to hear it. i craved it. i tried to find it on the radio. finally my uncle played it for me in its entirety. thus began my metal worship.

He has had the opportunity to work with some of the best Rock musicians in the world .

This was the third phase of Purple. The first with Rod Evans on vocals. Then Ian Gillan really took them to the next level. I Worshiped this band as a teenager and by the time I was old enough to attend concerts he had already left the band. So I saw Rainbow live with both Dio and Bonnett. But man when Ian Gillan returned it was a dream come true to see finally see this great band perform the classics and this new material was awesome. They actually had a full cocktail bar set up in the concert stadium. You could party down do shots or whatever and watch these guys live. When I first went to shows you had to sneak a bottle in. No alcohol served oh well I was too young too drink anyway so I might as well enjoy the concert with all of the weed being passed around half the audience was stoned out of their minds for these shows including myself. and it's funny Pot is legal now and I have no interest in toking weed.The Good Ol Days.

3rd phase was with Coverdale and Hughes

[@Jamestele1]

Agree. They all did so much great art, just to have interviewers go back to Smoke on the Water. Flight of the Rat is much, much better!

[@sn4ak3r4iden]

Coverdale and Hughes, then Coverdale Hughes and Bolin and then this one I think...

I used to watch MTV back in the day and was happy to see videos that I liked. This was one of them.

[@1stSaintsFan]

+Bob Shy I watched a lot of MTV after getting home from the club and continuing the party. The Chicks liked a place that had a big TV and stereo hooked up to blast MTV so that is what we all had back in those golden days. Plus it was cheaper to drink and easier to get high at the parties.

[@zzz7zzz9]

no they weren't. they were right where they belonged, and that's what made them great. heaven forbid they would have been a 2000s band, today's music is total shit. they are great BECAUSE of the era in which they existed.

Deep Purple was my first band I was crazy about back in the 70s and I’m still loving your music today 💕🔥 Long live Deep Purple you kick ass 🤘🤘🤘

[@Sterlingheadset]

I went camping in the Rockies and was jamming out to this song, was pretty high and decided to burn up my clothes in protest against something I can’t even remember. Anyway, made it off the mountain the next day in just my hiking boots. I will never take acid and listen to Deep Purple again.

Watching Richie Blackmore playing his guitar especially under a stobe light was fantastic. Rock on, saw these guys more than any other band, four times!!!

Richie Blackmore's melodies remind me of Tony Iommi's melodies. Which is the main reason I love this band.

[@davidg.9932]

Happy 78th Birthday Richard Hugh Blackmore 14 April 1945. Dropped out of school age 15. First session recording age 16. New dad age 67. R&R Hall of Fame age 71. Pretty unique life so far. But that's our Ritchie..

Brilliant singing from the legendary Ian Gillan. The greatest rock singer of all time along-side the God Ronnie James Dio. 🤘

This song is from 1984, after they got back together and tried their hand at basically becoming an 80s arena metal band. They hit the nail right on the head!
