Thought Dream lyrics - Country Joe and The Fish

Now I want everybody here who feels the spirit of the song
And that means all you people out there in record land
To sing along with your old friends Country Joe & The Fish
We will say an old time prayer as we look up to the sky and we ask the Lord
Please, don't you drop that H-bomb on me, go and drop it on yourself, alright...

Well, I said please, please don't drop,
Don't drop that H-bomb, H-bomb on me
Yeah, I said please, please don't drop
Don't drop that H-bomb on me
Yeah, I said please, please don't drop
Don't drop that H-bomb on me, yes
Well you can drop it,
Oh, you can drop it on yourself.

I walk through the scented air of summer's blooming
Into the frozen air of winter's dying
And as tears inside me fall
The pain of old wounds calls me to mend them
And I realize once more
That things done before have no ending.

I feel the cold of eve slowly waning
As sun burst rays of warmth overtake me
And the twisted seeds of doubt
Which spread my sins about lie parched and withered
And the present, not the past
Claims me at the last for it's not over.

Well I said please, please don't drop
Don't drop that H-bomb, H-bomb on me
Yeah I said please, please don't drop
Don't drop that H-bomb on me
Yeah I said please, please don't drop
Don't drop that H-bomb on me...

Hands up Charlie and-uh...
Now if you're tired or a bit run down
Can't seem to getcha feet off the ground
Maybe you oughta try a little bit of L.S.D.
Only if you want to.

Shake your head and rattle your brain
Make you act just a bit insane
Give you all the psychic energy you need
Eat flowers and kiss babies
L.S.D. for you and me.

Thursday lyrics - Country Joe and The Fish

Some people, they find each other.

I found you,
I found you,
I found you.

I found you,
I found you,
I found you.

Flying High lyrics - Country Joe and The Fish

I'm stuck on the L.A. freeway
Got rain water in my boots
My thumbs done froze, can't feel my toes
I feel a little destitute
Wheels throwing water all over my axe
And Mr. Jones won't lend me a hand
Up come two cats in a Cadillac
And they say: 'Won't you hop in, man?'
I went flying high all the way, all the way.

The one that's driving's got a bowler hat
The other's got a fez on his head
They turn around and grin and I grin back
But not a word was said
So I took out my harp and I played 'em a tune
I could see they were diggin' it
Then the one with the fez, well he turns and he says
'We'd like to help you make your trip.'
I went flying high all the way, all the way.

He said: 'We can't leave him out in the rain'
'He just might freeze and die'
'So why not put him on a plane'
'And send him home in the sky?'
So they took me to the L.A. airport
Laid twenty dollars in my hand
Well, I paid my fare, I'm in the air
Flying back home again
And I went flying high
All the way, yeah all the way, all the way
You know I went flying high all the way
Don't you know I went flying high all the...

Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine lyrics - Country Joe and The Fish

She hides in an attic concealed on a shelf
Behind volumes of literature based on herself
And runs across the pages like some tiny elf
Knowing that it's hard to find
Stuff way back in her mind
Winds up spending all of her time
Trying to memorize every line
Sweet Lorraine, ah sweet Lorraine.

Sweet lady of death wants me to die
So she can come sit by my bedside and sigh
And wipe away the tears from all my friends eyes
Then softly she will explain
Just exactly who was to blame
For causing me to go insane
And finally blow out my brain
Sweet Lorraine, ah sweet Lorraine.

Well you know that it's a shame and a pity
You were raised up in the city
And you never learned nothing 'bout country ways
Ah 'bout country ways.

The joy of life she dresses in black
With celestial secrets engraved in her back
And her face keeps flashing that she's got the knack
But you know when you look into her eyes
All she's learned she's had to memorize
And the only way you'll ever get her high
Is to let her do her thing and then watch you die
Sweet Lorraine, ah sweet Lorraine.

Now she's the one who gives us all those magical things
And reads us stories out of the I Ching
Then she passes out a whole new basket of rings
That when you put on your hand
Makes you one of the Angel Band
And gives you the power to be a man
But what it does for her you never quite understand
Sweet Lorraine, ah sweet Lorraine.

Well you know that it's a shame and a pity
You were raised up in the city
And you never learned nothing 'bout country ways
Oh 'bout country ways, oh 'bout country ways
Yeah about country ways, oh country ways...

Death Sound Blues lyrics - Country Joe and The Fish

I hear that death sound, baby
Oh, like an echo in my brain
I hear that death sound, baby
Oh, like an echo in my brain, brain
Well, there's a part of us dying
You know that things will never be the same
Ah, never be the same.

I feel the black nails a-poundin' now
Yes, into the coffin of our love
Hear the black nails a-poundin' now
Yes, into the coffin of our love
Well, like a black shrouded hunter now
Don't you know that I have killed a snow white dove
Oh, I've killed the dove.

Well, the time sands keep a-fallin' now
On towards our ending day
Yeah, the time sands keep a-fallin'
Towards our ending day
I see the minutes chasing the hours
Yes, to the words that we should say
Ah, we should say.

Happiness Is A Porpoise Mouth lyrics - Country Joe and The Fish

The white ducks fly on past the sun
Their wings flash silver at the moon
While waters rush down the mountain tongue
My organs play a circus tune
I dance to the wonder of your feet
And sing to the joy of your knees
The cold white dress on the mountain breast
Paints the frozen trees.

The maple plants patterns in the sky
Its leaves to kiss the wind
While scores of glittering bugs and flies
Dance polkas on her limbs
I whistle symphonies of your face
And laugh for your hair so fine
In startled greens of playground grass
A child jumps rope to rhyme.

Reeds and brass, the marching drums
Make a joyous sound
Trees bend low with nuts and plums
Then fall to find the ground
I hunger for your porpoise mouth
And stand erect for love
The sun burns up the winter sky
And all the earth is love.

Superbird lyrics - Country Joe and The Fish

Look up yonder in the sky, now what is that I pray?
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a man insane, it's my President LBJ
He's flying high way up in the sky just like Superman
But I have got a little piece of kryptonite, yes I'll bring him back to land.

Said come out Lyndon with your hands held high
Drop your guns, baby, and reach for the sky
I've got you surrounded and you ain't got a chance
Gonna send you back to Texas, make you work on your ranch
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.

He can call Super Woman and his Super Dogs
But it sure won't do him no good
Yeah, I found out why from a Russian spy
That he ain't nothing but a comic book.

We'll pull him off the stands and clean up the land
Yes, we'll have us a brand new day
What is more I got the Fantastic Four
And Doctor Strange to help him on his way.

Said: 'Come out Lyndon with your hands held high'
'Drop your guns, baby, and reach for the sky'
'We got you surrounded and you ain't got a chance'
'Gonna send you back to Texas make you work on your ranch'
Yeah yeah, oh yeah.

Yeah, gonna make him eat flowers
Yeah, make him drop some acid...

Sad And Lonely Times lyrics - Country Joe and The Fish

My love stands beside me
Through the rain, through the wind and the snow
Through the bad and the good you know it's
I love the girl
Always understood that she's my love
Always understood
This I know, this I know.
Now this I know, this I know.

So long sad and lonesome times
So long lonely days
So long sad and lonesome times
Got my love here to show me the way.

My love stands beside me
I can't seem to find the words
Through the rain, through the wind and the snow
To tell you how I care
Through the bad and the good you know it's
But I want you and I
Always understood that she's my love, this I know.
Trust you and I love you, this I know.

And I want you and it's
And I want you and I
Always understood that she's my love
Trust you and I love you, this I know
This I know, this I know.

Love lyrics - Country Joe and The Fish

Oh, c'mon!

Well, now deep in my heart baby, I know that you care
Deep in my heart babe, the feeling is there
'Cause I got something money can't buy
I got something that you oughta try
I got love, love, I said love, sweet love
I got love, baby, yeah!

Well, I can tell by your smile what you wanna do
See in your eyes you got the feeling too
Come on baby, it's time to move
'Cause I've got something that's a stone groove
I got love, love, I said love, sweet love
I got love, baby.

Well, now deep in my heart baby, I know that you care
Deep in my heart babe, the feeling is there
'Cause I got something money can't buy
I got something that you oughta try
I got love, love, I said love, sweet love
I got love, baby, yeah!

Bass Strings lyrics - Country Joe and The Fish

Hey partner, won't you pass that reefer round?
My world is spinnin' yeah, just got to slow it down
Oh, yes you know I've sure got to slow it down.

Get so high this time that you know
I'll never come down, I'll never come down.

I believe I'll go out to the seashore, let the waves wash my mind
Open up my head now just to see what I can find
Oh, yes you know I'm gonna see what I can find.

Just one more trip now, they know I'll stay high
All the time, all the time.

Yes, I'll go out to the desert just to try and find my past
Truth lives all around me but it's just beyond my grasp
Oh, yes you know it's just beyond my grasp.

I'll let the sand and the stars and the wind
Carry me back, oh carry me back.

L.S.D.
L.S.D.
L.S.D.

Grace lyrics - Country Joe and The Fish

One, two, three, four.

Cold rain to splash water diamonds colored green and
Flash the sun to paint green her hair
Cold rain to splash water diamonds colored green and
Flash the sun to paint green her hair.

Your silver streak flash
Your silver streak flash
Your silver streak flash
Across the tiny door of my eye
Across the tiny door of my eye.

Warm wind to touch the trees colored blue and
Flash the moon to paint blue my heart
Warm wind to touch the trees colored blue and
Flash the moon to paint blue my heart.

Your silver streak flash
Your silver streak flash
Your silver streak flash
Across the tiny door of my eye
Across the tiny door of my eye.

Soft skin to spend the every day colored gold and
Flash the sea to paint gold our love
Soft skin to spend the every day colored gold and
Flash the sea to paint gold our love.

Your silver streak flash
Your silver streak flash
Your silver streak flash
Across the tiny door of my eye
Across the tiny door of my eye.

I love you
I love you
I love you.
