Once I was the king of Mars I had a fleet of flying cars A mighty army a million strong My word was law--could do no wrong 5,000 earth chicks to be my queen then I walked right out of that dream Once I held Aladdin's lamp I purchased from a toothless tramp No wish too great, no wish too small The genie said I could have it all So much power it seemed obscene Then I walked right out of that dream [Bridge] Once I had a pleasant life: A pleasant house, a pleasant wife A decent car, a decent job A boy and girl both named Bob But I grew bored, couldn't make that scene And so I walked right out of that dream

This hidden world that hides inside the one we see What meaning could it have, what possibilities? You could be sitting in your favorite chair And the next thing you know you're not anywhere At all You might chase your dog through a trapezoid And find yourself in a shapeless void In the wall [Bridge] I hear that 5d glasses are the coming thing To aid us in dimensional discovering N-rays are polarized through a special lens To filter out this world and cleanse Your mind Old perceptions will be gone Replaced by each phenomenon You’ll find In this hidden world In this hidden world In this hidden world

Come along on a moonlight drive You'll be home by dawn if you're still alive The road is narrow but the seat is wide The door is open so come on inside It starts when you're always afraid: A car will come and take you away Just step--step out of the shade My car has come to take you away [ Bridge ] Come along on a moonlight drive You can thank me later if we ever arrive To where you were at the start of the ride The night's too nice to be cooped up outside It starts when you're always afraid: A car will come and take you away Just step--step out of the shade A lunar beam will show you the way Just step--step out of the shade A lunar beam will show you the way Just step--step out of the shade My car has come to take you away My car has come to take you away My car has come to take you away

Hey Eddy! 02:48
We've been checking out the cemetery And what do you think we found? Signs that someone's messing up The graveyard's hallowed ground! Seems like some of the recent graves Are missing occupants We're hoping this ain't nothing more Than some fool prankster's stunts Hey Eddy! Say Eddy! Where have y'all been? [Spoken:] "Sitting in my rocking chair wearing mama's skin" [Bridge] We've heard tell that some of our ladies Ain't been seen for weeks They've been searchin' all the farms The woods and all the creeks Sheriff found a sales receipt Made out by poor Bernice Turns out last thing that she sold Was a gallon of anti-freeze Hey Eddy! Say Eddy! Where have y'all been? [Spoken:] "Sitting in my rocking chair wearing mama's skin" "Sitting in my rocking chair wearing mama's skin" "Sitting in my rocking chair wearing mama's skin" [Repeat and fade…]

My baby broke the news today She said we had to break...up She'd been to see a psychic who Had read leaves in a tea...cup It turns out she was told that She was much too good for me She'd once been Cleopatra as Divined by Oolong tea Charlemagne, Blavatsky And King Richard #3 Why is everybody famous in a Former life but me? The wino on the corner swears That he was once Van...Gogh I smiled and said "That's great but Exactly how'd you...know?" A hypnotist regressed him once Before nativity He also had been Plato and Both generals Grant and Lee Galileo, Charley Chase And Marcus Anthony Why is everybody famous in a Former life but me? [Bridge] I sought a fortune teller, y'know That gypsy with the gold...tooth I paid her 50 bucks and said "I'm ready Won't you say some...sooth?" She gazed into her crystal ball And said "it's clear to me-- You've been slaves and peasants Throughout all of history You've always been a stumblebum-- That's all you'll ever be!" Why is everybody famous in a Former life but me? Why is everybody famous in a Former life but me? Why is everybody famous in a Former life but me?

Monotheism 02:54
Mandy told Andy about a thing she saw: "Two big horns on a wooly god He held a skull and a flaming sword 'n said 'bow down--I--am--the--Lord!' Hey! Make it go away" Andy told Sandy about a dream he had: "Things were going to worse from bad Our god and the devil were one and the same And he said we only had ourselves to blame Hey! Make it go away" [Bridge] Sandy told Randi about a thing she heard: "Everybody's talking--about the word The bird is the word, (yeah) the bird is the word Everybody's praying to the surfer bird Hey! Make it go away" (Repeat as necessary)

Hi there, ho there what do you say? I'm feeling just a little blue today And like King Snefru out on that lake I need a little boost to give this feeling-- A shake Hey there, hah there what do you think? Color my world in titty pink Jiggle like the jelly up on that plate Nipple me into an unconscious--state [Bridge] How there, hoo there what do I mean? Drop that top and you can go green Run around the parlor like a jungle ape Swing across the room from drape--to drape (to drape to drape to drape etc.)

How are you sleeping now at night? Are you troubled by cloudy dreams? I'm not doing too well myself Nothing is ever really as it seems Watch the elevator door Open up on the penthouse suite Everybody out for the filth floor A carpet of maggots awaits your feet [Bridge] Take the undulating path An ivory shag with specks of brown A living runner that leads somewhere Stare straight ahead just don't look down Watch the elevator door Open up on the penthouse suite Everybody out for the filth floor A carpet of maggots awaits your feet You can tread on the water if you feel divine A bed of coals if so inclined So many goals you’ll never reach Who said life was a walk on the beach? So many paths you have to choose: Now don’t you wish, you were wearing shoes?

Pardon me if I seem to stare But I just caught sight of that tunnel of hair It seems to start here around the bend And I can't see through to the other end I 've seen no light, although I've tried Don't know what lies on the other side It’s all aboard, if you dare I'm gonna drive right through that tunnel of hair [Bridge] Ages from now when the sun grows dim It might become a tunnel of skin A wormhole bridge from here to there But for now, it’s just a tunnel of hair Shotgun's free, should you decide To come along on this mystery ride Hang on tight, and say a prayer I'm gonna honk my horn in the tunnel of hair Honk my horn In the tunnel of hair In the tunnel of hair In the tunnel of hair

I'm not content to be with you You play the Kinks the whole day through And all through the night it's more of the same If you don't quit—I'll go insane Get the Kinks out now I really don't care how Just get the Kinks out now It's a dead end street where the noise never stops An aural assault from those mop top fops It's Ray Davies this, and Dave Davies that All day and all night in our 2 room flat Get the Kinks out now I really don't care how Just get the Kinks out now [Bridge] I'm at my end--what else can I do? I feel I've met my own Waterloo I shut my eyes to get 40 winks And dream about that gap toothed jinx Get the Kinks out now I really don't care how They've really got me now

Uchinaoshi 02:27
The neck is a little forward bow. Truss rod has a narrow space to apply a wrench, Is whether unconfirmed or turn. 12F Tsurudaka 6-string 3.2mm, is the first string 2.9mm. Hari acoustic guitar strings of medium gauge of 13-56, We have to open D tuning. From the fact that there is a scratch on the fret side of the fingerboard, Fret might have Uchinaoshi. Fret is not almost reduced. Feeling of aging on the body and the head, a small wound, While there, such as cracks in the paint, Is a very beautiful state considering the age. There is a scar of paint to the neck joint. There is light pick scratches on the cover plate, Any plating parts cloudy or dull little, And it has passed more than 40 years is a beautiful unbelievably. Corn is a little deformed, but there is a distortion, It can be used without this remains a problem. Corn, tailpiece, Strap pin may not be the original. Peg is original or unknown, There is no evidence, such as the replacement. Rather, such as the axis of the bending and rattling, It is a little stiff, but you can use without any problems.

Intro: When my girl hits the dance floor, it really is a sight Just like a cow stuck in the mud she keeps it up all night She tends to jut out way up North, and even farther South And if you'd see her shake that thing you'd say "Well shut my mouth!" Daphne's wild when she does the fox trot She's on the spot when the music's hot And when it comes to beaux, kid has she got 'em! Millie's Charleston wows the guys She has bee stung lips and Pickford eyes But have you seen my baby's black bottom? When Billie does the bunny hug She sure knows how to cut a rug If there is a dancin' bug she's caught 'im! When Susie does the varsity rag All the tongues begin to wag But have you seen my baby's black bottom? Minerva does the buck-and-wing Most every time she starts to sing All the glee club boys tell me she taught 'em Vi can shimmy like my sister Kate Whenever the fellows all congregate But have you seen my baby's black bottom? Clara tangos like a champ She's become the ballroom's vamp She’s had so many partners she's forgot 'em Fifi does an Apache dance In a short chemise without her pants But have you seen my baby's black bottom?

We're going to the wild wild planet Hop aboard the controls are all dialed Once you've been there, you'll never forget it It's a world where all the women are wild Watch out for those gadgets on their chests They're deadly weapons, those things that you'd call breasts [Bridge] I hope you're ready for the wild wild planet I trust you're up to being defiled Afterwards, just never admit it On a world where all the women are mild Watch out for those gadgets they call ears They'll trigger weapons, those things that you'd call tears Let's go to the wild wild planet Let's go to the wild wild planet Wanna go to the wild wild planet? Let's go to the wild wild planet Wanna go to the wild wild planet?

about

Several Mouth Parts' MOONLIGHT DRIVE is a delightful pastiche of styles, from the Psychedelically delightful "LOVE SUCKED THROUGH A STRAW" which squats the listener smack dab into the 1967 "Frisco" summer of love, to the enigmatic and disturbing "TUNNEL OF HAIR". Then there's the hauntingly beautiful instrumental "MOTHMAN", the saucy 1920s sound of "MY BABY'S BLACK BOTTOM", and the thought provoking numbers "LIE TO YOURSELF" and "MONOTHEISM". Truly the strangest collection of tunes yet from this band.

about

Several Mouth Parts California

This South Bay / LA area group started in 1971 as the Buddytones. Noted for its odd music and bizarre stage antics, its greatest achievement was causing a 2000 person stampede at the Fox Long Beach Theater in 1972 during “The Penis Song”. They continued performing until 1975, and after a 30 year break started recording again. Now, musically perhaps a bit more polished, enjoy SMP at its finest! ... more
