Whitesnake - "Sweet Lady Luck" (video)

You hold all the aces,
I never get the chance to deal
Flick of the wrist and you cut me down,
I'm spinning like a roulette wheel

You say that love's a gamble
But, you play with loaded dice
You hide behind a good girl smile
With a heart stone cold as ice

But, I want it, I need it
If you don't give it I'll steal it,
I'll take it all and walk away
Lady luck,

You're a loser in the game of love
Sweet lady luck
Who you gonna call when it all falls down on you,
Sweet lady luck

You can't stop your dealing
'cause it's a crying shame,
When the winner takes it all
And never ever takes the blame

But I want it, I need it
If you don't give it I'll steal it,
I'll take it all and walk away
Lady luck,
You're a loser in the game of love, sweet lady luck
Who you gonna call when it all falls down on you
Uh, what you gonna do?
Lady luck

I need your love, I need it now,
I've got to have it anyhow,
Sweet lady luck

I can't win for losing,
It's tearing me apart
So I'll play the joker to your queen of broken hearts

But, I want it, I need it,
If you don't give it I'll steal it
I'll take it all and walk away
Lady luck,
You're a loser in the game of love, sweet lady luck
Spinning like a roulette wheel, sweet lady luck
You're a loser in the game of love, sweet lady luck

I need your love, I need it now,
I've got to have it anyhow

Sweet lady luck, Sweet lady luck
Sweet lady luck, Lady luck!

Το επόμενο βήμα του ομώνυμου δίσκου των Whitesnake (ή "1987" όπως είναι επίσης γνωστό) ήταν αρκετά δύσκολο και καθοριστικό για την μπάντα του David Coverdale. Το "Λευκό Φίδι" και η εταιρεία τους έκαναν τα αδύνατα δυνατά να διατηρηθεί και να εδραιωθεί η πολύ μεγάλη επιτυχία του προηγούμενου δίσκου.

Στο πλαίσιο αυτό ήρθε ο Steve Vai στην θέση του John Sykes αν και η συνεισφορά του περιορίστηκε μόνο στο εκτελεστικό (κι όχι στο συνθετικό) κομμάτι. Το "Slip of the Tongue" κυκλοφόρησε τον Νοέμβριο του 1989. Η επιτυχία του "Whitesnake" δεν επαναλήφθηκε αλλά ο δίσκος είχε τις στιγμές του. Τριάντα χρόνια μετά, τον περασμένο Οκτώβριο, το album επανακυκλοφόρησε. Δεν πρόκειται όμως για μία τυπική επανακυκλοφορία...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Slip of the Tongue: 30th Anniversary Edition includes Whitesnake’s 1990 headlining performance at the Monsters of Rock Festival at Castle Donington on CD and DVD. The DVD also includes three music videos, all of which have been carefully restored for the first time ever.

A new promo video for the track “Sweet Lady Luck”, made exclusively for this set, a behind the scenes look at the making of the album, plus a newly recorded interview with Coverdale and Vandenberg rounds out the DVD. Slip of the Tongue: 30th Anniversary Edition features unreleased versions of every album track, as well as monitor mixes for the album recorded in 1989.

In addition, the collection includes nearly two dozen previously unreleased tracks taken from the session tapes that highlight working versions of album tracks and more. The set also includes the CD debut of Slip of the Tongue: The Wagging Tongue Edition. Released exclusively on vinyl in 1989, it features Coverdale being interviewed about each track followed by the song.»
