Roodillon1

Hello all, my name is Roodillon1 and I am 50 years young. I have always had a passion for psychedelia. I like to transcribe the lyrics to obscure songs. It's not easy sometimes but I think I'm 99-100% correct. Lately I've been doing UK psyche. These are nowhere on the web. I hope you don't mind if I post a few here for your enjoyment! Thanks, Roodillon1

Sands - Listen to the Sky

Buddy Baker was an ordinary guy
So when he got the letter he was horrified
But he said goodbye.

Filling all the forms and the papers he could see
But when he got his uniform he wished he could be with his family

Got into a plane and he vanished in the haze
His eyes were full of rain
And his ears were full of praise

Oh, what a day.
He's gone away.

If you're feeling sad and wonder why
close your eyes and listen to the sky

Buddy lost an engine in the heat of the attack
He knew he couldn't do it but he tried to make it back
Then it all turned bad

For they saw him lying in the wreckage of the plane
Someone wrote a letter home attempting to explain it was not in vain.
Someone took particulars and someone brought a box
Making sure he looked nice for his folks, they changed his socks.

Oh what a day
He's gone away

If you're feeling sad and wonder why
Close your eyes and listen to the sky
Close your eyes and listen to the sky

Vamp - Floatin'

Last night it ended - I just let it go
If I'll be bended back, you'll never know
And do I care about it? - perhaps I'm better without it

No

You just close your eyes and your floating
You're so hypnotised I'm hoping
you don't see me go

Tonight's the last time that I'll say to you
Twice in the same life, something I thought was new
History is just a lesson - tomorrow we're only guessin'

No

You just close your eyes and your floating
You're so hypnotised I'm hoping
you don't see me go

No

You just close your eyes and your floating
You're so hypnotised I'm hoping
you don't see me go

No

You just close your eyes and your floating
You're so hypnotised I'm hoping
you don't see me go

No

You just close your eyes and your floating
You're so hypnotised I'm hoping
you don't see me go

The Syn - Grounded

I, I ain't got nobody to take out at night
I got a lot of money, but that just doesn't seem to help my plight
I'm lost without a man of sight

I'm grounded - I'm high and I'm dry
I'm grounded - my money disguises, that
I'm grounded - I might as well lay down and die

Well people think that I'm one of the lucky guys
But they're looking at me through artificial eyes
And they just don't, they don't realise, that

I'm grounded - and I'm high and I'm dry
I'm grounded - my money disguises, that
I'm grounded baby - I might as well lay right down and die

I feel so broken up, deep deep down inside
What's the use, what's the use of my money
I just want to fly, yes I do, can't because

I'm grounded - I'm high and I'm dry
I'm grounded - my money disguises, that
I'm grounded baby - and I need help from somebody

Grounded - help me somebody

Grounded, grounded yeah I am

I'm Grounded, grounded

A little, a little bit grounded

Yes I'm grounded yes I am

I need help from somebody.

Factory - Path Through The Forest

I know a path through the forest
where you can slowly wake up
oh you can take your time
and let the seasons catch up

Slip off your shoes
and feel the Earth
your ears will start to ring
and life will sing

You just go and spring past the forest
where colors combine you
and everything finds you
it can drive you insane

You've got to slow down now
or you'll grow cold
you'll pass the flowers that sing
the hours that spring the ozone

Shadows confuse you
and silence is loud
you'll reach the fallen light
you're losing sight

Baby comes down past the forest
where colors combine you
and everything finds you
it can can drive you insane

I know a path through the forest
where you can slowly wake up
oh you can take your time
and let the seasons catch up

Slip off your shoes
and feel the Earth
your ears will start to ring
and life will sing

You just come and spring past the forest
where colors combine you
and everything finds you
it can drive you insane

The Tickle - Subway (Smokey Pokey World)

Down the hole (are your little moles)
In the ground (down down down)
There's a world (it's moving fast across the land since all those plans)
People come (they miss the sun)
Into town (below the ground)
There's a girl (I've never seen her face before but she has caught my eye)

Sitting under a rubber sole
Right next door to a Tootsie Roll
Every day
There's a girl
Never stays
In this smokey pokey world

Tuesday now (they've missed the sun by)
Six o' clock (right on the dot)
Going home (I fear the crowd I want to shout out loud but then I)
Fell in love (well up above)
Twice today (the children play)
Girl unknown (I've never seen her face before before but she has caught my eye)

Sitting under a rubber sole
Right next door to a Tootsie Roll
Every day
There's a girl
Never stays
In this smokey pokey world

Sitting under a rubber sole
Right next door to a Tootsie Roll
Every day
There's a girl
Never stays
In this smokey pokey world

Twink - Ten Thousand Words in a Cardboard Box

A thousand colorful shadows dancing 'round my head
Rejoicing to the waking of the dead
Dancing to the beat of a skinless drum
While the dead men sing along with the dumb

Ten tin soldiers playing rhyme in tune
With three madmen waiting for a full moon
The hound and the huntsmen chased by the fox
Ten thousand words in a cardboard box

The Mops (Japan) - Town Where I Was Born

Town where I was born
didn't have no streets
only have dirt roads
the roads people worked for
now that we have nothing
everybody share everything

everybody share everything

Town where I was born
It didn't have no parents
It didn't give us any love
no love, people were poor
now that we had nothing
oh I hadn't any to spare
now that we had nothing
oh I hadn't any to spare

all right yeah yeah yeah
all right yeah yeah yeah

One night something made me wanna go
I get on a train, I looked out of the window
I saw the lights of the fallen town
I ask myself, what doesn't come help us?
