| Death alley driver
(Blackmore/Turner)
Rough and ready rider
In a supersonic sound machine
Rock 'n' roll survivor
Chrome pipes between your knees
Running all the red lights
Riding on white nights
You're gonna make a dead stop
But you just can't see the signs
Oh, you'll never win the |

У шестого альбома Rainbow очень завлекательная обложка и соответствующее ей название. Наверное, имеется в виду, что слушатель, купивший этот диск, с первыми звуками музыки сразу же впадет в длительный экстаз, который отступит только с последним аккордом гитары в завершающей песне. К сожалению, ничего подобного во время прослушивания "Straight Between The Eyes" не происходит. Удивить своей новой работой придирчивых поклонников Ричи Блэкмор и Ко не смогли. Все меломаны просто получили хорошую и добротную пластинку без особых откровений или новаторств. Перед записью этого диска состав Rainbow в очередной раз претерпел изменения - на этот раз место Дона Эйри за клавишами занял Дэвид Розенталь. На музыкальный стиль это, конечно, совсем не повлияло. По сравнению с предыдущим диском "Difficult To Cure" он не изменился ни на йоту - мы слышим все тот же качественный и насквозь коммерческий хард-рок. Голос Джо Линн Тернера немного изменился в лучшую сторону, теперь его вокальные партии приобрели некую твердость и мужественность, хотя доля слащавости в его пении по-прежнему превалирует. Никаких технический откровений не прибавилось, но сам каркас звука остался крепким и надежным. В целом, качество песен получилось на порядок выше, чем в прошлый раз, проходной материал практически отсутствует. Очень энергично смотрится скоростной открывающий боевик "Death Alley Driver", этакое переосмысление идей старой доброй "Highway Star". Также очень драйвовыми и заводными вышли позитивный номер "Bring On The Night (Dream Chaser)" и основанная на мгновенно захватывающем в плен гитарном риффе "Power". В качестве непременного лирического перерыва достойно выглядят очень красивый блюзовый трек "Stone Cold" и просто потрясающе эмоциональная баллада "Tearin' Out My Heart". Все остальные песни особо не выделяются, но и никаких отрицательных эмоций не вызывают. В целом, альбом получился весьма добротным, "Straight Between The Eyes" - это отличный образец качественного хард-рока. Но при его прослушивании лучше не вспоминать об эпохе Дио - иначе все начнет казаться ужасно примитивным и безвкусным. |

Откровенно слабый альбом, думаю, худшее из всего, что сделал Блэкмор. Вокал просто никакой, клавиши хорошие, но не роковые (единственное исключение - изумительное соло в "Death Alley Driver"), барабаны неинтересные. Собственно, только Блэкмор с Гловером играют так, как надо, но этого явно мало для хорошего альбома. Из более или менее интересных вещей здесь, пожалуй, "Death Alley" и "Eyes Of Fire". Кстати, на "Death Alley Driver" есть весьма интересный клип. |

But you can't give up the chase
Death alley driver - living at high speed
Death alley driver
Death alley driver - who knows what you need?
Death alley driver
One hundred twenty five
Smoking on the turns
Always on the hit and run
But you never learn
Running from the man
And you're running from yourself
Another dirty angel
Heading straight to hell
Oh, you'll never win the race
But you won't give up the chase
Death alley driver - life in overdrive
Death alley driver
Death alley driver - ride to stay alive
Death alley driver - let's go
Red lights in the mirror
Danger on the band
Got to take a detour
'Cause a road block's up ahead
He takes you on the corner
With a wave of his hand
Death is in the back seat
Of a big old black sedan
Oh, you'll never win the race
As you turn and see his face
Death alley driver - moving for the kill
Death alley driver
Death alley driver - time is standing still
Death alley driver - always on the run 'cause you're a
Death alley driver - love the way it feels
Death alley driver
Death alley driver - hell on wheels
Death alley driver
Stone cold
(Blackmore/Glover/Turner)
Every night I have the same old dream
'Bout you and me and what's in between
So many changes
So many lies
Try to run, try to hide
From everything that I feel inside
But I can't escape you
Or your frozen eyes
Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone
Like a thief in the night
Stone cold
And I thought I knew you so well
Stone cold
Can't break away from your spell
Another dark and empty night
If I was wrong I wanna make it right
But you are so distant
So far away
Your words like ice fall on the ground
Breaking the silence without a sound
Familiar strangers
With nothing to say
Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone
Like a thief in the night
Stone cold
And I thought I knew you so well
You're stone cold
Can't break away from your spell
You leave me stone cold
Searching in the darkness
Fading out of sight
Love was here and gone
Like a thief in the night
Stone cold
And I thought I knew you so well
You're stone cold
I can't break away from your spell
Stone cold
I thought I knew you so well
You're stone cold, ice cold
Can't break away from your spell
You put me in the deep freeze
Oh baby, don't you leave me
Stone cold
You're leaving me cold
Stone cold
And I thought I knew you so well
Stone cold
Can't break away from your spell
Stone cold
And I thought I knew you so well
Stone cold
Can't break away from your spell
Bring on the night (dream chaser)
(Blackmore/Glover/Turner)
I was taking a chance on a tight rope
Walking the line to the end
I was ready to fall, had my back to the wall
But I'm flying again
I been shifting my gears, I've been moving
'Cause they wanted me dead or alive
But I'm making a break and I want you
To take a ride, take a ride
Bring on the night
Into the shadows and out of the light
Bring on the night
Let the dream chaser take you away
When the sun hits another horizon
And the joker has started to deal
You can quit if you choose but there's nothing to lose
By a spin of the wheel
Gotta burn all your bridges behind you
They'll keep dragging you down if you stay
And I know I ain't wrong 'cause I'm free
And I'm on my way, on my way
Bring on the night
Into the shadows and out of the light
Bring on the night
Let the dream chaser take you away
I live on the edge of tomorrow
I'm racing along on the wind
I can see what I need, you better believe
I'm playing to win
I got nothing to fear when I'm flying
'Cause yesterday's over and gone
And there's nothing I can do
So I gotta keep moving on, moving on, moving on
Bring on the night
Into the shadows and out of the light
Bring on the night
Let the dream chaser take you away, take you away
Bring on the night
Dream chaser
Bring on the night
Dream chaser
Bring on the night
Dream chaser
Bring on the night
Dream chaser
Tite squeeze
(Blackmore/Glover/Turner)
I ain't lying to you, baby
I hope you don't refuse
But I'm red hot, ready or not?
To give my love to you
I don't have forever
But I've got tonight
The look in your eye said you'll give it a try
I know the moment's right
Ooh, give it to me
You got everything I need
Ooh, do it to me
Bring me to my knees
When you gimme that tite squeeze
Baby, baby, please, gimme that tite squeeze
When you start to touch me
I can't believe it's real
You make it hard for me to take
I love the way you feel
I'm hungry for you, baby
I just can't get enough
If it's alright I'll take a bite
I'll taste your love
Ooh, give it to me
You got everything I need
Ooh, do it to me
Bring me to my knees
When you gimme that tite squeeze
Gimme that tite squeeze
Rock me in your cradle
Roll me like the dice
Do it to me and I'll do it to you
Do it 'till we do it right
Don't tell me that you love me
When you walk out the door
'Cause I'll hold you down, turn you around
I'll come back for more
Ooh, give it to me
You got everything I need
Ooh, do it to me
Bring me to my knees
When you gimme that tite, tite, tite
Gimme that tite squeeze
Ooh baby, gimme that tite squeeze
Bring me to my knees
Gimme that tite squeeze
Tearin' out my heart
(Blackmore/Glover/Turner)
First time I saw your face
By your side was the only place
That I would wanna be
Sometimes and I don't know why
Love can come or it can pass you by
Now you take all the love you gave to me
You take it from me
You're tearin' out my heart
Never thought I'd see the day
You would throw my love away
And oh, it's killing me
One thing you'll never know
How it hurts to let you go
As you turn and walk away from me
Walk away
You're tearin' out my heart
Feel like I've ripped apart
You're tearin' out my heart
Tearin' out my heart
Tearin' out my heart
Daybreaks I try to be free
But your memory is haunting me
Oh, there's nothing I can do
All alone in the candlelight
I see your face again tonight
And I feel all the emptiness without you
Without you
Tearin' out my heart
I feel like I've been ripped apart
Tearin' out my heart
My heart
Power
(Blackmore/Glover/Turner)
Everybody's saying
That the times are getting rough
You gotta stay loose, baby
And you gotta be tough
I get knocked down
Get right back up again
'Cause I never give up
And I never give in
Oh, so strong
Got the power when I turn it on
Yeah, I'm gonna get my fill
Nothing's gonna stop me now and nothing ever will
I got the power
I got the power
The power
I feel the power
And don't forget it
Make some, break some
Ain't no big surprise
They're gonna wheel ya, deal ya
Tell ya all the lies, realize
But I'm a hot shot, shoot'em down
Let them be, that's me
'Cause I got nothing for nothing
And nothing's ever free, no
Oh, so strong
All I gotta do is turn it on
Yeah, I'm gonna get my fill
Nothing's gonna stop me now and nothing ever will
I got the power
I got the power
I can feel the power
I got the power
Turn it on
I can take anything
That gets in my way
I don't worry 'bout tomorrow
I just live for today
Oh, so strong
Got that feeling when I turn it on
Yeah, I'm gonna get my fill
Nothing's gonna stop me now and nothing ever will
I got the power
I can feel the power
Power
I can feel the power
Turn it on
Power - can you feel it?
You know the power
Got the power
Power
You can turn it on, turn it on
Switch it on behind
Super charged
I can feel the power
Miss mistreated
(Blackmore/Turner/Rosenthal)
I never meant to hurt you, baby
I never meant to hurt you, baby
I never meant to hurt you, baby
I know you've been running around
I know what you've been saying
I treat you wrong, keep letting you down
I'm not giving what I'm taking
So hurt, deep inside
You say there's nothing to it
But my eyes are open wide
And I don't know why you do it
You say I cheated
You say that I lied
People tell ya I'm taking you for a ride
Oh but baby, they lied
Give you my love, I'll give you all of my time
Just to keep you satisfied
It's never enough until it's over the line
So you're living on the wild side
Undercover lovers late at night
Won't take the pain away
Two wrongs don't make a right
But you wanna make me pay
I know love can be real
You're not the only one whose got a bad deal
I know just how you feel
Miss mistreated
Whose mistreating who?
You think it's me
I think it's you, yes, I do
Miss mistreated
Miss mistreated
Miss mistreated
I wanna know love can be real
You're not the only one whose got a bad deal
I know how you feel
Miss mistreated
Whose mistreating who?
You think it's me
I think it's you, yes, I do
Miss mistreated
Miss mistreated - so wrong
Miss mistreated
Miss mistreated
Miss mistreated
I never meant to hurt you, baby
Miss mistreated
I never meant to hurt you, baby
Miss mistreated
I never meant to hurt you, baby
Miss mistreated
I never meant to hurt you, baby
Miss mistreated
Miss mistreated
Miss mistreated
Miss mistreated
Rock fever
(Blackmore/Turner)
Looking like little miss lonely
Standing in her ruby red shoes
Telling me she loves me only
Even if it ain't true
Ooh, you
Dripping with desire
Skin tight, dynamite
Fever takes me higher
Lemme see ya rock
Lemme see ya roll
Lemme see ya burn
Rock fever
Lemme see ya rock
Lemme see ya roll
Lemme feel ya burn
Rock fever
Gonna give it to you tonight
Rock fever
I can feel your blood run hot
Burning with a fire
Gimme everything you got
Right down to the wire
Ooh
Temperature is rising
Ain't no use, I'm breaking loose
I ain't gonna fight it
Lemme see ya rock
Lemme see ya roll
Lemme see ya burn
Rock fever
Lemme see ya rock
Lemme see ya roll
Lemme feel ya burn
Rock fever
Come on, let me give you a shot
Forty five calibre rock 'n' roll
Fever deep inside her
Hits me straight between the eyes
When she opens fire
Ooh, you
Dripping with desire
Skin tight, you're dynamite
I can't get much higher
Lemme see ya rock
Lemme see ya roll
Lemme see ya burn
Rock fever
Lemme see ya rock
Lemme see ya roll
Lemme feel ya burn
Rock fever
Lemme see ya rock
Lemme see ya roll
Lemme feel ya burn
Rock fever
Lemme see ya rock
Lemme see ya roll
Lemme feel ya burn
Rock fever
I wanna see ya rock
Lemme see ya roll
Come on and burn
Rock fever
Let me feel rock
Come on, roll
Lemme feel ya burn
Rock fever
Eyes of fire
(Blackmore/Turner/Rosenthal)
Hungry and wild, she was born to the night
A demon, a daughter of madness
One look from her eyes could burn you alive
Drown you in oceans of sadness
Even the deadly shades of night won't let me hide
From her eyes of fire
Face in the mirror, we meet eye to eye
Passions of eternal fire
Desperately wanting and out of control
Dancing on winds of desire
Even the deadly shades of night won't let me hide
From her eyes of fire, eyes of fire
Curtains of darkness, screams of delight
Taunts me with her sirens calling
I got to be strong but I can't hang on
Into the flames I am falling
Even the deadly shades of night won't let me hide
From her eyes of fire
