Black & White
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord)

Read all about it
Tell me have you heard the news
Captain Bob he don't pay no dues
You know he's looking in my window
He's stepping on my toes
Don't want the truth
And it goes to show...

I got a joker up my sleeve
I know what to believe
It ain't right just because it's in black and white

Find yourself a hero
Treat him like a friend
You build him up and tear him down again
It don't hold a candle
Hold it to the light
Check it out is it wrong or right...

Is this the news of the world
It's just a pretty girl
She's all the news that's fit to print in black and white

Inside information
Taken down note by note
A silent footstep, that's all she wrote
Shit, that's all she wrote..
No need to worry
The baby's gone to bed
Dreaming dirty dreams in black and white and read...

Now I got nothing to fear
Is this the scoop of the year?
Headlines on my bathroom wall in black and white
