Dead of Night

Ian Gillan Band


As we went to the door
I was asking for more 
So she reached out and turned off the light 
Then her daddy called 
To mind the lecherous lout
Who was a monster in the dead of night 
So i went away home 
Feeling hurt and alone 
And frustrated in the dead of night 
Then i called her at dawn 
And we made love on the lawn 
'Cos her daddy thought it was alright 

Danger to the girl at night 
In the morning it will be alright 
Don't do it in the dead of night 
Tomorrow it should be alright 

In the birmingham mail
They reported a whale 
They'd discovered in the dead of night 
In the local canal 
It was found by a pal 
Of the bloke who'd lost it from his bike 
We can say it again 
If it doesn't make sense 
But never in the dead of night 
If we wait until dawn 
When the reason is born 
We can see it better in the light 

Dreaming in the dead of night 
In the morning it will be alright 
Screaming in the dead of night 
Tomorrow it will be alright
