When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and I turn
And I go for a ride
'Til I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, heh-heh-heh

Well do you, don't you want me to love you?
(Ah) I'm coming down fast, but I'm miles above you

Gillan

When heavy metal god Ian Gillan left Deep Purple, he first formed a jazz fusion band called The Ian Gillan Band, but found it artistically and commercially unsatisfactory.

He then formed this band, Gillan, initially a rock band that moved in a punk-metal direction with its second album, the first released outside of Japan and Australia.

Little known in the US and dissolved when Ian joined the re-formed Deep Purple in 1984, Gillan was a monster hit in Europe as part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWoBHM), selling over ten million records.
