Soldier of Fortune

I've watched this clip of Soldier of Fortune a couple of years ago, and right now I am listening to it again. Back then I liked the nail clip idea, and now, after a few conversations on Ibanez guitars with a guitarist friend, I've noticed that the one in this clip is made by this manufacturer.



Music: Deep Purple
Album: Stormbringer (1974)
Song: Soldier of Fortune
Label: Warner Bros. Records
Lyrics:

I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thougt my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here

Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
