Psychedelic Rock Bands

"She come skimming through rays of violet She can wade in a drop of dew She don't come and I don't follow Waits backstage while I sing to you... She's a summer love in the spring, fall and winter She can make happy any man alive"

"Let there be songs to fill the air."

"Had to learn the hard way to let her pass by, let her pass by"

"A box of rain will ease the pain and love will see you through Believe it if you need it, if you don't just pass it on Sun and shower, wind and rain In and out the window like a moth before a flame And it's just a box of rain, I don't know who put it there Believe it if you need it or leave it if you dare And it's just a box of rain, or a ribbon for your hair Such a long, long time to be gone and a short time to be there."

"And there's nothing wrong with the look that's in her eyes"

"If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung, Would you hear my voice come through the music? Would you hold it near as it were your own?..."

"Dark star crashes pouring its light into ashes. Reason tatters, the forces tear loose from the axis... Searchlight casting for faults in the clouds of delusion Shall we go, you and I while we can Through the transitive nightfall of diamonds?"

"Truckin', like the do-dah man Once told me, "You've got to play your hand" Sometimes the cards ain't worth a dime If you don't lay 'em down."

"There is a road, no simple highway Between the dawn and the dark of night And if you go no one may follow That path is for your steps alone."

"Saint Stephen with a rose In and out of the garden he goes Country garden in the wind and the rain Wherever he goes the people all complain ... Did he doubt or did he try? Answers aplenty in the bye and bye Talk about your plenty and talk about your ills One man gathers what another man spills Saint Stephen will remain All he lost he shall regain"

"We could fight a war for peace. (Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now) Give in to that easy living. Goodbye to my hopes and dreams. Start flipping for my enemies. We could wait until the walls come down."

"Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now. I been feeling it since 1966, now. Might be over now, but I feel it still."

"Your love is an abyss for my heart to eclipse..."

"Got me thinkin’ ‘bout it All day long All day long Bangin’ my head against the wall All day long Bangin’ my head against the wall Dead and gone."

"'Cause I still see your face Getting lost in the crowd And I still hear the sound Of the pack when they howl."

"...it's hard to see clouds When you're 6 feet underground."

"If I gave you everything that I owned and asked for nothing in return, Would you do the same for me as I would for you? Or take me for a ride, and strip me of everything, including my pride? But spirit is something that no one destroys. And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound of The low spark of high-heeled boys."

"Often lost and forgotten, the vagueness and the mud, I've been thinking I'm working too hard, but I've got something to show."

"I climbed on the back of a giant albatross, Which flew through a crack in the cloud, To a place where happiness reigned all year round, Where music played ever so loudly."

"Well you think you had a good time With the boy that you just met, Kicking sand from beach to beach, Your clothes all soaking wet. But if you look around and see A shadow on the run, Don't be too surprised if it's just a paper sun."

"Seems I've got to have a change of scene 'Cause every night I have the strangest dreams. Imprisoned by the way it could have been, Left here on my own or so it seems. I've got to leave before I start to scream, But someone's locked the door and took the key.You feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself. Well, you feelin' alright? I'm not feelin' too good myself."

"If you had just a minute to breathe and they granted you one final wish, Would you ask for something like another chance? Or something similar as this? Don't worry too much, It'll happen to you as sure as your sorrows are joys. And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of The low spark of high-heeled boys."

"Forty thousand headmen couldn't make me change my mind. If I had to take the choice between the deafman and the blind, I know just where my feet should go and that's enough for me. I turned around and knocked them down and walked across the sea."

"Like a hurricane around your heart when earth and sky are torn apart He comes gathering up the bits while hoping that the puzzle fits. He leaves you, he leaves you, Freedom rider."

"Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune, Something to make us all happy. Do anything, take us out of this gloom. Sing a song, play guitar, Make it snappy."

"I'm livin' livin' livin' life with all its ups and downs. I'm givin' givin' givin' love and smilin' at the frowns. You're in trouble when you find it's hard for you to smile. A simple song might make it better for a little while."

"Beat is getting stronger, Feel it getting stronger. Sound is getting longer, too. Music is a thought to me.I want to, I want to I wanna take you higher (take you higher) I wanna take you higher (take you higher)."

"End of the spring and here she comes back Hi hi hi hi there Them summer days, those summer days.That's when I had most of my fun, back High high high high there Them summer days, those summer days."

"Stand! In the end you'll still be you, One that's done all the things you set out to do. Stand! There's a cross for you to bear; Things to go through if you're going anywhere. Stand! For the things you know are right. It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight. Stand! All the things you want are real; You have you to complete and there is no deal."

"There is a blue one who can't accept the green one For living with the black one, trying to be a skinny one. Different strokes, for different folks! And so on, and so on, and scooby-dooby-doo. (oooh, sha sha!)"

"We've got to live together! I am no better, and neither are you. We are the same whatever we do. You love me, you hate me, you know me and then, You can't figure out the bag I'm in.I am everyday people! (yeah yeah)"

"All we need is a drummer For people who only need a beat, yeahh! I'm gonna add a little guitar, And make it easy to move your feet. I'm gonna add some bottom, So that the dancers just won't hide."

"It's automatic when I Talk with old friends The conversation turns to Girls we knew when their Hair was soft and long and the Beach was the place to go.Suntanned bodies and Waves of sunshine the California girls and a Beautiful coastline Warmed up weather Let's get together and Do it again."

"Close my eyes She's somehow closer now Softly smile, I know she must be kind When I look in her eyes, She goes with me to a blossom world.I'm pickin' up good vibrations, She's giving me excitations. I'm pickin' up good vibrations. (Oom bop bop good vibrations)."
