the Incredible String Band - Koeeoaddi There
the natural cards revolve ever changing
seeded elsewhere planted in the garden fair grow trees, grow trees
tongues of the sheer wind
setting you foot where the sand is untrodden,
the ocean that only begins
listen a woman with a bulldozer built this house now
carving away the mountain whose name is your childhood home
we were trying to buy it buy it buy it
someone was found killed there all bones bones dry bones
earth water fire and air
met together in a garden fair
put in a basket bound with skin
if you answer this riddle
you’ll never begin
born in a house where the doors shut tight
shadowy fingers on the curtains at night
cherry tree blossom head high snow
a busy main road where I wasn’t to go
I used to sit on the garden wall
say hello to people going by so tall
hallo to the postman’s stubbly skin
hallo to the baker’s stubbly grin
mrs thompson gave me a bear
brigitte and some people lived upstairs
skating on happy valley pond
various ministers and guards stood around
the ice was nice hallo the invisible brethren
and there was a tent you played cards with the
soldiers in, don’t worry we won’t send anyone
after you they screamed
but me and licorice saw the last of them one misty twisty day
across the mournful morning moor motoring away
singing ladybird, ladybird what is your wish
your wish is not granted unless it’s a fish
your wish is not granted unless it’s a dish
a fish on a dish is that what you wish
earth water fire and air
met together in a garden fair
put in a basket bound with skin
if you answer this riddle
you’ll never begin
Sunforest - Be Like Me
“Be like me, be like me, I’m feeling cool
Be like me, be like me, I’m not a fool
Be like me and no one can hurt you
I don’t have to be afraid
For on both sides I have weighed
The circumstance of everything that I do
You can go on tripping up and falling down
But as for me I don’t intend to be a clown
If I fail you know a friend I cannot blame
Because I am myself the author of my shame or fame
Be like me, I’m on my way
Every night and everyday
I know precisely what I’m doing
I know precisely what I’m doing”
Please lay down your colours and your creeds
Please lay down your thoughts of being no-one
Concentrate on what you ought to be
Then lay down your bullshit and your protests
Then lay down your governments of greed
Take a look at what lies all around you
Then pray God we can live in peace
Barclay James Harvest, For No One
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Ohio
Tin soldiers and Nixon’s comin’
We’re finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin’
Four dead in Ohio
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?
How can you run when you know?
Live it all the best you can

Shocking Blue - Love Buzz
Can’t you hear my love buzz?
Can’t you hear my love buzz?
Can’t you hear my love buzz?
Wishing things you’ll never have
You’re better off not dreaming of the things to come
Dreams are always ending far too soon
Caravan, Winter Wine
the Doors - Ghost Song
Shake dreams from your hair
My pretty child, my sweet one.
Choose the day and choose the sign of your day
The day’s divinity
First thing you see.
A vast radiant beach in a cool jeweled moon
Couples naked race down by it’s quiet side
And we laugh like soft, mad children
Smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy
The music and voices are all around us.
Choose they croon the Ancient Ones
The time has come again
Choose now, they croon
Beneath the moon
Beside an ancient lake
Enter again the sweet forest
Enter the hot dream
Come with us
Everything is broken up and dances.
Indians scattered
On dawn’s highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child’s
Fragile eggshell mind
