The Unwritten Law

The Unwritten Law - Deep Purple

Written by：Ian Gillan/Roger Glover/Ritchie Blackmore/Ian Paice

Listen to me I've got a warning for you

You've got to learn to take more care

'Cos if you swim in dirty water

Be careful how you dry your hair

In a room within a room

In a hole within a hole

You've got to learn to share your secrets

Or you'll lose your soul

I've got the evidence I know you're broke

The unwritten law

Another town another one-night stand

You know you broke the law

It's so hard to hold back

When the fire is in your eyes

A silver dollar in my pocket

I don't like surprises

I've got your souvenir

Is that the price I've got to pay

It ain't been that long

Since the last charade

I've got the evidence

I know you're broke

The unwritten law

Another town

Another one-night stand

You know you broke the law

I know you're guilty

But I'm carrying the blame

I took out much more than I put in

And I felt the pain

In a dirty little room

With nowhere left to hide

You told the truth with your eyes

But you lied inside

I've got the evidence

I know you're broke

The unwritten law

Another town

Another one-night stand

You know you broke the law

I've got the evidence

I know you're broke

The unwritten law

Another town

Another one-night stand

You know you broke the law
