About Any Fule Kno That

"Any Fule Kno That" is the first song on the 1998 album Abandon by Deep Purple. Vocalist Ian Gillan takes a spoken word approach in the verses to the song, comparable to rapping. It is also one of the rare occasions in which his lyrics are explicit, in this case using the word "shit". The unusual spelling of the title comes from the Nigel Molesworth books.

If you're in the right city at the right time 
What's the last thing going through your mind 
Not talking 'bout your, ask no questions, you know it's a lie 
You're just a victim of a corporate crime 
All the signs of a shark attack 
You've got rivers of blood on the streets, don't look back 
Nothing personal, just another snack 
'N Harley said you're better off sticking to your guns 
Any fule kno that 

Oh Moronica Queen of the Biz 
And her friend Flash Harry thinks he knows what it is 
Tin Pan Alley Fat Head Larry don't know shit 
Just trying to keep her happy 
There's no laughing in heaven, not the one, not the seven 
And you'll never get to heaven in her row boat 
Pea brain pisser, dog breath kisser 
'N Harley said you're better off sticking to your guns 
Any fule kno that 
Any fule kno that 
Any fule kno that 

Ooh
Won't it be nice 
When everything falls into place 

Salad days go a-tickling by 
Have a high time, burn money in the meantime 
They bleed you dry 
Those suckers are smaller than life 
Oh Moronica Queen of the Biz 
And her friend Flash Harry thinks he knows what it is 
Tin Pan Alley Fat Head Larry don't know shit 
I'm better off sticking to my guns 
Any fule kno that 
Any fule kno that 
Any fule kno that 

Ooh
Won't it be nice 
When everything falls into place 

Danny went down to the river one day 
Didn't come back, that's the last, they say 
We ever saw of him, that's no lie 
Spitting in your eye, have no fear 
You don't want the truth 
Stick your finger in your ear 
Any fule kno that 
Any fule kno that 
Any fule kno that
