How ’bout a sweet love ballad for this evening?
What about the heartache?
What about the emptiness inside?
It doesn’t just fade away
Turning the knife.
How much can I bleed?
The cut runs deep.
By the way, it’s the very album with the legendary ‘Smoke On the Water’, but all the other tracks in it are powerful and cool to the same extent.
Original title (English): Deep Purple “Slaves and Masters”, 1990 – “The Cut Runs Deep”
