Deep Purple - Abandon: Wikipedia Album Entry
Abandon is the sixteenth studio album by Deep Purple. It was recorded in Orlando in 1997 and 1998 and released On June, 2nd 1998.
The final song on Abandon, "Bludsucker", is a re-recording of an old Purple song "Bloodsucker" from their 1972 album, In Rock.
"Don't Make Me Happy" was accidentally mastered in mono during the album's production stage but the band decided not to change it for the official release.
The album was followed by a tour called "A Band On Tour". Songs from this album were hardly ever played after the end of "A Band On Tour", although as of late 2010, "Almost Human" suprisingly returned to the live set.
It was the second and last album recorded by Deep Purple Mark VII, which featured:
Ian Gillan
Steve Morse
Roger Glover
Jon Lord
Ian Paice
Before the recording of the next DP album, founding member Jon Lord left the band to pursue his solo career in classical music. He also stated that he wasn't fit enough anymore to keep up with the band's busy touring schedule. He was replaced by Don Airey, although Lord has played with the band on a few occasions since that time.

Deep Purple - Abandon Lyrics
Deep Purple - Any Fule Kno That Lyrics
If you're in the right city at the right time
What's the last thing going through your mind
Not talking 'bout your, ask no questions, you know it's a lie
You're just the victim of a corporate crime
Deep Purple - Evil Louie Lyrics
Some say the state of Texas
Could accommodate the entire human population
Five point six billion versions of the truth
Under one roof, some revelation
Deep Purple - '69 Lyrics
Flying through the night in a beat up wagon
A mike stand up my jacksy
Give me a beer and I'll stand on a chair
And slip into something sexy
Deep Purple - Whatsername Lyrics
Unforgettable face, I can't think of her name
It's on the edge of my tongue, gathering dust in the back of my brain
Something 'bout the way she ignores me that's vaguely familiar
Makes you wonder what it was you ever did to thrill her
Deep Purple - She Was Lyrics
She was, she was
She was all that she said she was
She was all that she said she was
Deep Purple - Jack Ruby Lyrics
There's no method in my madness, no craft, no guile
No expertise, no self assuring smile
No wizardry or witchcraft, no crass deceit
No dark conspiracies, I stand on my own two feet
Deep Purple - Fingers To The Bone Lyrics
Everything went wrong
I'm sorry boys, I've got to let you go
We've had some hard times
And the long rain, it didn't show
Deep Purple - Watching The Sky Lyrics
I sit here alone
I sit here alone
I look at the walls
Look at the walls
Deep Purple - Seventh Heaven Lyrics
I've been to places where the sun goes down
Each night and never rises
I've been to places in a dark room
Where we played with our disguises
Deep Purple - Don't Make Me Happy Lyrics
You stare into the room, nothing there but space
No sign of any message gone without a trace
But I don't want your pity, if that's what you think
I'll take my comfort from this hole I'm sinking in
Deep Purple - Almost Human Lyrics
I know you're the only one who understands
Afore ye go, before you leave
You always shake my hand
Even when I'm crazy, on fire and naked
Deep Purple - Bloodsucker Lyrics
Gotta black breast Chinese eyes
Got an English brain that gonna make me wise
Got a long story that I wanna tell
To a rhythm that I know so well
