L.A. Connection Lyrics
Carry home my broken bones and lay me down to rest
Forty days of cries and moans I guess
I've failed to pass the test
I've been sent away not a thing to say
I'm banished from the fold
I'm a fallen angel who's lost his wings
And left out in the cold
Chorus:
Ooooh L. A. Connection
Oh L. A. Connection
L. A. Connection
Operator place a call keep a secret put it through
Investigator knows it all he's at the window I wonder who
I've got to cut the line and let me drift
Find a haven in the storm
I got no time I need a lift to where
It's sweet and close and warm
Chorus:
æææææææ
Carry home my broken bones and lay me down to rest
Forty days of cries and moans well
I've just failed test
Feel I'm balanced on the brim should I lean another way
Like a flame that's going on the dim
Needs blessing from the day
Chorus:
Ooooh L. A. Connection
Oh take me away I got nothing to say
It's got to be an L. A. Connection
L. A. Connection
Chorus:
Forty days of cries and moans I guess
I've failed to pass the test
I've been sent away not a thing to say
I'm banished from the fold
I'm a fallen angel who's lost his wings
And left out in the cold
Oh L. A. Connection
L. A. Connection
Investigator knows it all he's at the window I wonder who
I've got to cut the line and let me drift
Find a haven in the storm
I got no time I need a lift to where
It's sweet and close and warm
æææææææ
Forty days of cries and moans well
I've just failed test
Feel I'm balanced on the brim should I lean another way
Like a flame that's going on the dim
Needs blessing from the day
Oh take me away I got nothing to say
It's got to be an L. A. Connection
L. A. Connection

In the late 70's, Rainbow split their time between being based in England and LA, so I reckon this song is about dividing your time and getting frustrated with the hard rock lifestyle.
I agree with Dreamer -spot on
Perhaps before they broke into LA they tried and failed. Then contacted a friend that got them publicity.
This song is about Tony Carey, the keyboard player on the previous album, who was more or less hounded out of the group by Ritchie Blackmore incessantly performing practical jokes on him, like bricking up the entrance to his hotel room.
I always found the lyrics to be fitting with the MeToo movement and the "famous" being manipulated by Hollywood.
