Purple Haze
Another Jimi Hendrix song written for The Jimi Hendrix Experience's second single with the same title.
The track was used by The Sisters of Mercy for soundchecks on 13 October 1984 at Manchester University,
which consequently surfaced on various bootlegs such as All Along The Watchtower, Afterhours,
the ECHOES VOL.2 12", The Good, The Bad And The Ugly and 1983 - 1986.
Lyrics
Purple haze all over my brain
Lately things don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky
Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
What ever it is, that girl put a spell on me
Help me
Help me
Oh, no, no
Hammerin'
Talkin' 'bout heart 'n' s-soul
I'm talkin' about hard stuff
If everbody's still around, fluff and ease, if
So far out my mind
Something's happening, something's happening
Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, ahhh
Ooo, ahhh, yeah!
Purple haze all in my eyes, uhh
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?
Ooo
Help me
Ahh, yea-yeah, purple haze, yeah
Oh, no, oh
Oh, help me
Tell me, baby, tell me
I can't go on like this
You're makin' me blow my mind ... mama
N-no, nooo
No, it's painful, baby
