Eric Burdon - Paint It Black Lyrics






Hmm, ah
I see a red door and I want to paint it black
No colors in my life, you better turn them black
I see them walking by dressed in their colorful clothes
I see them strolling by, my happiness [?]
No more will my grey sea turn a deeper blue
I cannot foresee this thing happening to you
No!
I see people walking by dressed their summer clothes
I see them strolling by, my happiness [?]

Turn it black
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I said I know baby
Everything is black I know
Since you been gone
Everything is black before my eyes
Baby eh
Everything is black I know
Turn to me

And help me see again, baby
Help me walk once more
And help me talk again, walk again
Stand up like a man, baby
Since you been gone, gone
There is no color in my life, baby
Its turning so very very [?] black

Humph, I walk down the street
And I see a line of cars
Maybe blue, maybe brown, maybe green
But their turning black
Before my very eyes
And you could not know
What it's like when your whole world is black
When everything you see and touch
Turns so very very black, hmm
Oh baby now
I need you by my side
Bring some color into my life
Once again
I even tripped down and fell
Didn't see no colors anymore, baby
Bad, bad scene
And I have to tell you baby

No more will my grey sea go turn a deeper blue
I cannot foresee this thing ever happening to you
No!

I see people walking by me
They're all going in different directions
I see them strolling by and my heart splinters like a flame
Turning black, baby
Turning black I know
Everything
Since you've been gone is turning black, turning black, turning black, turning black, turning black
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, baby
Oh lord, oh babe, whoa lord, help me see again, baby
Help me walk, talk, walk stand up like a man I know
Need you standing by my side
Because I'm blind and I cannot see
Color blind
I'm color blind
Paint everything so black
Go ahead and paint it black, baby
Everything is black black, black, its turning black I know
Need some color in my life...

    MORE COWBELL!!!

    It’s amazing how much better video production and quality has gotten and how much worse music has. (I know, OK boomer)

    I’m convinced Eric Burdon was in an altered state of mind when he was singing.
    The editing of the video is terrible. The cut always are too fast.

  17. a.... w....

    Was hat ihn denn da geritten?

  18. �.... �....

    Мощная версия!👍🎵👏

  28. C.... P....

    I never knew this cover existed. Awesome. The music of this era rocked

  29. R.... W....

    I watched the Animals concert in Dallas Texas 1965. They were great. They shared the same bill with Herman's Hermits. I named my son Eric after Eric Burden. Sadly he was killed in a car wreck 1995 when he was 16 years old.

  30. R.... A....

    When the music was music and the musicians musicians!

  31. J.... C....

    Isso é que é música.os caras nem aí pra estética só talento puro.

  32. A.... M....

    LA VERSIÓN DE LOS STONES ES GRANDE PERO LA FUSIÓN WAR & BURDON ES MAGIA PURA UN VIAJE CHINGON!!!

  33. �.... �....

    Эрик спасибо. Всегда обожал тебя слушать

  34. T.... B....

    I wonder why I think of Frank Zappa as I watch this video? Puzzled grin.

  35. K.... D....

    I rather not run into that drummer in a dark alley

  36. R.... B....

    Eric Burdon has an incredible voice

  37. L.... A....

    Si bien War me parecen unos músicos extraordinarios y con mucha onda, me gusta mucho mas la versión que hacía con The Animals.

  38. A.... D....

    This is terrible lol, sounds like something Paul Simon would’ve done once he started to get weird in the 80s was it?

    A.... D....

    Pshew, are you clueless...

    A.... D....

    Matt Polzkill Quite the contrary, this sucks

    A.... D....

    @Alex DeLarge Quite the contrary, you suck. And I'm sorry about your stunted and pathetic soul, truly.

  39. g.... ....

    That flute makes it..

  40. D.... G....

    Mejor que jagger

  41. F.... O....

    Certa vez um sábio disse que um palavrão consegue expressar melhor uma situação do que todas as filosofias já criadas pelo homem
    Nesse caso peço licença para soltar um.
    P.... que pariu, que clipe é esse?

    Conseguiram melhorar uma coisa que já era irrepreensível!

  42. G.... G....

    what the fuck is his?

    G.... G....

    A singer

  43. P.... J....

  49. S.... R....

    Amazing ❤️

  50. R.... v....

    Remember when music was art? Fuck this is a masterpiece. You can tell it must be close to the end of times when in 30 years we've gone from this to that garbage they play on the wireless these days. Maybe we actually lost WW2? What kind of world did our parents fight and die for? Not this one. Take care.

    R.... v....

    Its been nearly 50 years since this.

  51. R.... v....

    Give me a half hit of whatever these cats are on!

  52. n.... ....

  56. M.... H....

    Jesus thats how you play drums and bongos!

  57. j.... l....

    It takes a great mind to appreciate this kind of music...Had records of Eric Burdan and the Animals i sampled a few things from them.. but wen i was locked down it was a station that played them alot...it made me like them more ...he sounds really good with War tho ...

  58. E.... L....

    +10 000 though compilations and mash ups are not my favourite...

  59. R.... p....

    Похож на Башлачева.

  60. C.... C....

    I never like the comparisons, ALL of them were great! so enjoy them & just enough....

  61. D.... F....

    Song needs more cowbell.

  62. J.... C....

    He'll kick your ass, and then some. Burdon had the innate ability to make girls go commando at sunday school.

  63. L.... ....

    Imagine War with Ginger Baker

    L.... ....

    You have something a little bit like that with Ginger Baker and Fela Kuti. Not as good as Fela's regular drummer.

  64. M.... S....

    excelente con el sello de calidad de Eric y Wars y su magia

  65. J.... S....

    The Long Haired Leaping Gnome.

  66. s.... ....

    This genre of music get great impact to the first hearing (i already knew, naturally), but it is not congenial to white musical culture for long.
    It was as for Santana musical group as they performed for long years, till to now. All it is based on rhythm, as is usual for black music, where melody and harmonie are not rilevant in melodic leading way.
    The title of this performance would be as for the contrary : Black paint it !
    (i'm btw best songwriters in beat cultured white style)

  67. C.... S....

    Flute guy looks like Hendrix

  68. e.... ....

    Malditas drogas...

  69. L.... G....

    El ritmo suena a Santana.

  70. y.... ....

    Está bien vergas!!!

  71. T.... B....

    There’s more funk here than Parliament could put out in lifetime. I’m breathless.

  72. D.... L....

    That ad for a guitar app is no way to play a guitar on a smartphone

  73. M.... S....

    E so vir aqui encontrar maravilhas como esta .Maravilhoso

  74. D.... B....
