This album was released by the Mark II version of the group, which is Ian Gillan (vocals), Ritchie Blackmore (guitar), Roger Glover (Bass), Jon Lord (keyboard), and Ian Paice (drums). “Child In Time” was played during the Deep Purple Mark II reunion tour “Come Hell or Highwater” in 1993. Ritchie Blackmore quit the tour after the European portion – he also ended the original Mark II by quitting because of Ian Gillan’s “lack of work ethic.”

Child in Time

Sweet child in time you’ll see the line
The line that’s drawn between good and the bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying, taking toll
If you’ve been bad, lord I bet you have
And you’ve not been hit by flying lead
You’d better close your eyes
Bow your head
Wait for the ricochetI wanna hear you screamSweet child in time you’ll see the line
The line that’s drawn between, good and the bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying, taking toll
If you’ve been bad, lord I bet you have
And you’ve not been hit by flying lead
You’d better close your eyes
Bow your head
Wait for the ricochetI gotta hear you screamOh, god, oh, no don’t, oh, ain’t gonna do it, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Songwriters: IAN GILLAN, IAN PAICE, JON LORD, RITCHIE BLACKMORE, ROGER GLOVER
