"Kalifornia Kiddies"

"Kalifornia Kiddies"



They grew right through the whole damned thing
From the beatnik beginning
Pissed and Pilled and Puffed and Pricked
Down the highway of oblivion
As we dug the Rockin' Insects and
Moved to Mama-Mandrex
They saw right through our acid eyes
And released bonds of shame-sex
Those Kalifornia Kiddies shinning in the sun
Those Kalifornia Kiddies love 'em every one
They felt our hippie happy days
They felt our deepest sorrow
They learned how to embrace the past
And the great Unknown Tomorrow
They'll soon put down this rock
That down the bog soon courses
Daft Decadence and nazi groups
Foul and hostile forces
Those Kalifornia Kiddies shinning in the sun
Those Kalifornia Kiddies love 'em every one
They listened to the sky with you
They heard the bell of peace ring
The message in the flower
The symbol of awakening
They saw you give up meats and sweets
And practice control passion
And all this done stoned, on the run
And through the Veil went crashing
They saw you gain a mantra
From the Master of the Wild Mind
Felt you feel way deep inside
Behind the Veil of Maya
Instinctively they opened up
Their spirit - eyes of Wisdom
Their Fairy Tale will never pale
They dance in Love's bright freedom

"La Moora"

"La Moora"



We're sailing away to the sleepy lagoon
By the light of the stars, by the shine of the moon
And mermaids are singing a sweet lullaby
And kissing the babies as they sail by.

La Moora, La Moora, soft as a sigh
Kissing the babies as they sail by
La Moora, La Moora, soft as a sigh
Kissing the babies as they sail by.

We're sailing away to the sleepy lagoon
By the light of the stars, by the shine of the moon
And mermaids are singing a sweet lullaby
And kissing the babies as they sail by.

La Moora, La Moora, soft as a sigh
Kissing the babies as they sail by
La Moora, La Moora, soft as a sigh
Kissing the babies as they sail by.

Ooohh, la la la la
Kissing the babies as they sail by
La Moora, La Moora, soft as a sigh
Kissing the babies as they sail by.

"Lady Of The Flowers"

"Lady Of The Flowers"



Your hair blows, the grass grows
Sun yellow, cloudless blue
Can't you tell, green angel
How I love you?

She's my lady of the flowers
She's a sweet herb with a healing way
She's my lady of the flowers
Perfuming my way.

Your hand plays with daisies
Birds sing and butterflies
Lips like wine, mellow time
In paradise.

She's my lady of the flowers
She's a sweet herb with a healing way
She's my lady of the flowers
Perfuming my way.

She's my lady of the flowers
She's a sweet herb with a healing way
She's my lady of the flowers
Perfuming my way.

Your hair blows, the grass grows
Sun yellow, cloudless blue
Can't you tell, green angel
How I love you?

She's my lady of the flowers
She's a sweet herb with a healing way
She's my lady of the flowers
Perfuming my way.

She's my lady of the flowers
She's a sweet herb with a healing way
She's my lady of the flowers
Perfuming my way.

"Lady Of The Lamp"

"Lady Of The Lamp"



In the night
In the dark night
There's a light
That shines on me
And the lady of the lamp she
lies by me and holds on tight
In my mind
In constand mind
I am restless
Yet sincere
And the lady of the lamp fears
nothing. She's the mystic kind
In this life
In this dark vale
One is rarely truly loved
And the lady of the lamp loves
only me I am her grail
In the dawn
In the blue dawn
As the sun begins to rise
The lady of the lamp sighs
darkness passed and gone
darkness passed and gone

"Lady Of The Stars"

"Lady Of The Stars"



She walks through the stars
Past Saturn and Mars
Who knows how she feels
With the moon on her heel
She glides through the night
In Swirling soft flight
Owls hoot and stare
As the wind lifts her hair
She's my lady of the Stars
She's my lady of the Stars
She's my lady of the Stars

"Lay Down Lassie"

"Lay Down Lassie"



Remember when I first met you
Took you to the pad where I was staying
Shared with another seven souls
All over the floor laying.

Remember when I first held you
I whispered you sweet nothings
We flew out of the room that night
High on young love wings.

When you lay down your brown body, Lassie
Let love between you and me flow
When you lay down your brown body, Lassie
Let love between you and me flow.

Remember when I first saw you
I had to put our love together
By hook or by crook
I wanted you forever lover.

But I shouldn't be so lucky
For you had another fella
So I brought you a ring that day
Down the Portabella.

When you lay down your brown body, Lassie
Let love between you and me flow
When you lay down your brown body, Lassie
Let love between you and me flow.

Temporarily I lost you
Tried to tie our love together
Forcing you to answer me
Say you'll be mine forever.

But things don't happen so fast
When it comes to our romance
I wanna take you easy now
So come on gimme the chance.

When you lay down your brown body, Lassie
Let love between you and me flow
When you lay down your brown body, Lassie
Let love between you and me flow.

When you lay down your brown body, Lassie
Let love between you and me flow
When you lay down your brown body, Lassie
Let love between you and me flow.

"Lay Of The Last Tinker"

"Lay Of The Last Tinker"



I can see by your eyes you're a good man,
and the sparkle of the ring on your hand.
You have a muzzled dancing monkey,
a little cup in a hairy hand.

(I'll) bring cheese with me.
Won't you bring bread and have some wine?
Break cheese with me.
Won't you break bread and have some wine?

A goat skinned tamborine
what sites that has seen
Blazing eyes of dances
daughters of tinker queens.

(I'll) bring cheese with me.
Won't you bring bread and have some wine?
Break cheese with me.
Won't you break bread and have some wine?

Ya hang your cloak in a gypsy fashin.
I see a scar of an ancient lashing.
Born a babe in Macedonia
to the shounds of seas a-crashing.

Break cheese with me.
Won't you break bread and have some wine?
Break cheese with me.
Won't you break bread and have some wine?

I can see by your eyes you're a good man,
and the sparkle of the ring on your hand.
You have a muzzled dancing monkey,
a little cup in a hairy hand.

I can see by your eyes you're a good man,
and the sparkle of the ring on your hand.
You have a muzzled dancing monkey,
a little cup in a hairy hand.

"Lazy Daze"

"Lazy Daze"



Looking for a place with a real lazy pace,
Lay right back, simply rest my mind.

Living in a grass hut, swinging in a hammock,
In some sleepy cove forgotten by time.

I'll be the boy who sings songs sometimes,
Swim, sit in the sun and easy dream a while.

Don't need nothing that can't come tomorrow,
It don't really matter if it never comes at all.
Don't need nothing that can't come tomorrow,
It don't really matter if it never comes at all.

I don't want to be rushed and pushed and crushed and mushed.
I don't want to be rushed and pushed and crushed and mushed.

Don't need nothing that can't come tomorrow,
It don't really matter if it never comes at all.
Don't need nothing that can't come tomorrow,
It don't really matter if it never comes at all.

She is looking for a tan with a real sensitive man,
Burn her bra, simply rest her jeans.

Just let the kids run around with their ass hanging out,
Barefoot like they do in her dreams.

She'll be the girl who slinks along the beach,
Swim, sit in the sun and easy dream a while.

Don't need nothing that can't come tomorrow,
It don't really matter if it never comes at all.
Don't need nothing that can't come tomorrow,
It don't really matter if it never comes at all.

I don't want to be rushed and pushed and crushed and mushed.
I don't want to be rushed and pushed and crushed and mushed.

Don't need nothing that can't come tomorrow,
It don't really matter if it never comes at all.
Don't need nothing that can't come tomorrow,
It don't really matter if it never comes at all.

Looking for a place with a lazy pace,
It don't really matter if it never comes at all.
Looking for a place with a lazy pace,
It don't really matter if it never comes at all.

Lazy Louisiana
Lazy Louisiana
Lazy Louisiana
Find it anyhow.

Lazy Louisiana
Lazy Louisiana
Lazy Louisiana
Lazy Louisiana
Oh, oh.

I don't want to be rushed and pushed
I don't want to be rushed and pushed
Lazy Louisiana

I don't want to be rushed and pushed
I don't want to be rushed and pushed
I don't want to be rushed and pushed
I don't want to be rushed and pushed
I don't want to be rushed and pushed ...

"Legend Of A Girl Child Linda"

"Legend Of A Girl Child Linda"



I will bring you gold apples and grapes made of rubies
That have shone in the eyes of a prince of the breeze.
Bright cascading crystals, they danced in the sand dunes
On the beach of no footprints to harpsichord tunes.
A throne of white ivory, a gown of white lace
Lies still in the magic of a timeless place.
One hundred small children, they laugh at the white doves
That rest on their hands with the touch of love.
On a hillside of velvet the children they lay down
And make fun of the grown-ups with their silly frown.
And the sound of their laughter is the sound of the green sea
As it washed around the foot of the seashell tree.
The doves circle over and land in the trees
Where parrots are talking their words with such ease.
Thus spoke three wizards to the young ones that day:
"There's sadness in the kingdom, make it go far away."
If you follow the sunbeams through the valley of flowers
To the palace of the White Queen with its white jade towers.
The youngest, she sighed then the clouds drew away
And a hundred small fingers scratched their heads in dismay.
From out of the sun a giant gull came flying
And the children got ready to sit on its wings.
They waved to the raindrops as they soared over the trees
The wind tossed their hair high, flashing gold on the sea.
They came to the castle and there they did fall,
And they saw all the sadness, through the crystal wall.
A princess lay a-sleeping so gentle and kind
Whilst her prince took to battle with his confused mind.
The clash of bright metal brought the children fear,
But their cloaks of blue satin dried up all of these tears.
Thus children held hands and they spelled out their name
All the golden children became a golden chain.
It lies on a white throne in a magic place
With a tunic of velvet and a gown of white lace.
My sword, it lies broken and cast in a lake
In a dream I was told that my princess would wake.
