Edit 1b for headphones. Video is the USA tv show "Shebang!" Released in February 1967, the song knocked The Beatles' "Penny Lane" out of the number one slot for three weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, it remained in the top ten for nine weeks. It was the group's only chart-topper. "Happy Together" reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart in April 1967. The song was written by Garry Bonner and Alan Gordon, former members of a band known as The Magicians (they were the bass player and drummer). Bonner became a regular member of Kenny Vance and the Planotones. Gordon, who died in 2008 at the age of 64, had songs recorded by Alice Cooper, Frank Zappa and The Lovin' Spoonful. The song had been rejected a dozen times before it was offered to The Turtles. * When performing the song on television, Mark Volman commonly "played" a different instrument not present in the song for each appearance. On Ed Sullivan he "played" a trumpet, on the Smothers Brothers a piano, and on others a French horn. Canada nr 2, Holland nr 5, Belgium nr 8, UK nr 12.

Howard Kaylan: lead vocals. Mark Volman: vocals. Al Nichol: lead guitar, backing vocals. Jim Tucker: rhythm guitar, backing vocals. Chip Douglas: bass guitar, arrangement, backing vocals. John Barbata: drums.

The Turtles were formed by Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan. They were saxophone players who did whatever was trendy in order to make a living as musicians. They played surf-rock, acoustic folk, whatever was big at the time, and in addition to their own bands, played backup for The Coasters, Sonny And Cher and The Righteous Brothers. After a while, they gave up sax [ruud: a very, very wise decision!] and became singers, signing a deal with White Whale Records as The Crosswind Singers. When British groups like The Beatles took over America, they tried to pass themselves off as British singers and renamed themselves The Tyrtles. The record company made them change the name to The Turtles, and tried to make them sound like The Byrds, who were leaders of the folk-rock trend.

HAPPY TOGETHER
(Alan Gordon-Gary Bonner)

imagine me and you, I do,
I think about you day and night, it`s only right
to think about the girl you love and hold her tight
so happy together

if I should call you up, invest a dime
and say you belong to me and ease my mind
imagine how the world would be so very fine
so happy together

I can't see me lovin` nobody but you
for all my life
when you`re with me, baby, the skies will be blue
for all my life

me and you and you and me
no matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
the only one for me is you, and you for me
so happy together, so happy together

I can't see me lovin` nobody but you
for all my life
when you`re with me, baby, the skies will be blue
for all my life

me and you and you and me
no matter how they toss the dice, it has to be
the only one for me is you, and you for me
so happy together, so happy together

pa-pa-pa-pa pa-pa-pa-pa pa-pa-pa

Edit 2 for headphones. Recorded May 12, 1965 and August of 1966. Released in the US on the album "Flowers" on July 15, 1967.
Guitars: Brian Jones & Keith Richards. Vocals: Mick Jagger. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts. Flute: ?

At 1:27 a flute comes in very clearly, I never noticed that until Celeste Grey mentioned it. Great find, Celeste, indeed it is a flute! The flute is earlier (0:27) and later in the song too, but drowned in the violins' sound.

Great song, a cover of the huge no.1 hit for "The Temptations" in 1965.

MY GIRL
(Smokey Robinson and Ronald White)

I got sunshine, on a cloudy day
when it's cold outside, I got the month of May

I guess, you'll say,
what can make me feel this way?
my girl, my girl, my girl
talkin' 'bout my girl

I go so much honey, the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song, baby, than the birds in the trees

I guess, you'll say,
what can make me feel this way?
my girl, my girl, my girl
talkin' 'bout my girl

oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
hey, hey, hey, hey
hey, hey, hey, hey (oooh)

I don't need no money, or count my pay
I've got all the riches, baby, one man can take

I guess, you'll say,
what can make me feel this way?
my girl, my girl, my girl
talkin' 'bout my girl

I got sunshine, on a cloudy day
I even got the month of May
my girl, my girl. I'm talkin' 'bout my girl

HIGH AND DRY
(Richards/Jagger)

High and dry well, I'm up here with no warning
High and dry well, I couldn't get a word in
High and dry oh, what a way to go
She left me standing here just high and dry

A minute I was up there standing by her side
The next I was down there, well, left out of the ride and
High and dry oh, what a way to go
She left me standing here just high and dry

Anythin' I wished for I only had to ask her (yep)
I think she found out it was money I was after
High and dry oh, what a weird letdown
She left me standing here just high and dry
Alright

Brian

It's lucky that I didn't have any love towards her
Next time I'll make sure that the girl'll be much poorer
High and dry oh, what a way to go
She left me standing here just high and dry

High and dry well, I'm up here with no warnin' (yep)
High and dry well, I couldn't get a word in
High and dry oh, what a way to go
She left me standin' here just high and dry
Well, she left me standin' here just high and dry
Well, she left me standin' here just high and dry
Hey!

Not an edit. Great September 1969 song, real fast sixties gem to go along with a mass of sixties pictures. Great recording quality.
A song from the album "All The Sixties" (Warner Music Australia 5310516672), a three cd compilation album of various interesting sixties songs.

R.B. Greaves is Sam Cooke's nephew. He had one more US Top 40 hit: "Always Something There To Remind Me." That one, written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, reached nr.27 in 1970.
Greaves recorded this song in Sheffield, Alabama at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios. The studio was owned by the musicians who worked there and played on this track: guitarist Jimmy Johnson, drummer Roger Hawkins, bass player David Hood and piano player Barry Beckett (Eddie Hinton, not an owner, played lead guitar).

Donna Jean Thatcher did the backing vocals (later Donna Jean Godchaux of the Grateful Dead). Mel Lastie played trumpet.

This song charted:
US Billboard Hot 100: 2
Australia 6
Canada 3
US Billboard Best Selling Soul Singles 10
Holland 17
US Billboard Easy Listening 21

The R.B. Greaves album was produced by Ahmet Ertegun, who by 1969 was running Atlantic Records. David Hood told about working with Ertegun at these sessions: "He was a tremendous recognizer of talent and of songs. He knew music and musicians about as well as anybody on earth, but he was very hands off. He sat in the control room. While he was here he went and bought a pair of cowboy boots. He had his feet propped up on the console and had a yellow legal pad in his lap. We thought, gosh, he's making all these notes and doing all this stuff. And we go in there, and he'd just been doodling and drawing stars and stuff. So he was very non scientific. He went more on his instincts, whether he liked something or not."

The US Top 10 on November 16th, 1969 was:
1. "Wedding Bell Blues" by the 5th Dimension
2. "Take A Letter Maria"
3. "Something" by The Beatles
4. "And When I Die" by Blood, Sweat and Tears
5. "Smile A Little Smile For Me" by The Flying Machine
6. "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam
7. "Come Together" by The Beatles
8. "Yester-Me, Yester-You, Yesterday" by Stevie Wonder
9. "Suspicious Mind" by Elvis Presley
10."I Can't Get Next To You" by The Temptations

TAKE A LETTER MARIA
(Ronald Bertram Greaves)(R.B.'s actual name is Ronald Bertram Aloysius Greaves and half native American, he was raised on a Seminole reservation in California.)

last night, as I got home about a half past ten
there was the woman I thought I knew
in the arms of another man
I kept my cool, I ain't no fool
let me tell ya what happened then
I packed some clothes and I walked out
and I ain't goin' back again

so take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
say I won't be coming home, gotta start a new life
oh take a letter Maria, address it to my wife
send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life

you've been many things, but most of all a good secretary to me
and it's times like this, I feel you've always be

Edit 1 for headphones. Recorded June 10 & 11, 1964. Released in the UK and US as B side to "It's all over now". Released on the "12 x 5", "Big hits (high tide and green grass)", "More hot rocks (big hits and fazed cookies)" and some two million more compilation albums, a nasty habit of these rolling stones...

Harmonica: Brian Jones. Vocals: Mick Jagger. Acoustic guitar: Keith Richards. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts.

This song is quite like "As tears go by", with this difference: no strings messing up the Stones sound. This is how "As tears go by" could have sounded... pure guitar and singing.

GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES
(Jagger/Richards)

there've been good times
there've been bad times
I have my share of hard times, too
but I lost my faith in the world
honey, when I lost you

remember the good times we've had together
don't you want them back again
though these hard times are bugging me now
honey, now it's a sin

there's gotta be trust in this world
or it won't get very far
well, trust in someone
or there's gonna be war

Edit 1 for headphones. There's something very special about this song: its rhythm & Mick's tempo. It's the only Stones song with this kind of setup. *
I edited the piano intro (got it centered), treated the bass & finally did a lot of 'Charlie inserts' in the video.
As no video footage of Ian Stewart playing the piano exists I 'gave' Brian the intro.

Recorded March 6 - 9, 1966. Released on "Aftermath" in 1966. Remember that name: "AFTERMATH". Legendary album.

Lead electric guitar: Brian Jones. B R I A N J O N E S. Wow, Brian Jones.
Piano: Ian Stewart. Lead vocal: Mick Jagger. Rhythm electric guitar & background vocal: Keith Richards. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts.

FLIGHT 505
(Jagger/Richards)

Well, I was happy here at home
I got everything I need.
Happy bein' on my own
Just living the life I lead.

Well suddenly it dawned on me
That this was not my life.
So I just phoned the airline girl
And said, Get me on flight number 505,
Get me on flight number 505.

Well, I confirmed my reservation.
Then I hopped a cab.
No idea of my destination
And feeling pretty bad.

With my suitcase in my hand.
In my head, my new life.
So then I told the airline girl
Well, get me on flight number 505,
Get me on flight number 505.
Alright.

Well, I sat right there in my seat.
Well, feeling like a king.
With the whole world right at my feet.
Of course I'll have a drink!

Well, suddenly I saw
That we never ever would arrive.
He put the plane down in the sea.
The end of flight number 505.
The end of flight number 505.
Alright.

They put the plane down in the sea.
The end of flight number 505.
The end of flight number 505.

* this is what PAULLONDEN states: http://www.youtube.com/user/PAULLONDEN
"About this track.It´s a regular 4/4 beat, but the instruments treat it almost like a reggae tune, like playing against the beat. You could almost waltz to this. It has a very ´flowing´ groove."

Edit for headphones, February 2022. A song from the 1975 album "Rising For The Moon (2013 deluxe edition). The song is also on cd nine of the 19 cd box set "Sandy Denny – Studio Outtakes - Home Demos - Unheard Songs - Complete Studio Recordings" (Universal Island Records Ltd. – catalogue number 532 869-5)(limited edition).

WHAT IS TRUE?
(Sandy Denny)

silver tongues are speaking long and hard into the night
I must be myself and I'll do alright
oh please my darling do not make me sad
late at night nobody really wants to feel that bad

the rain it beats impatiently upon the window pane
I must close my ears or I'll go insane
can't you be a gentle breeze or silent as a snowfall
won't you try and listen for the voice behind the wall
it cries to you

even though it only ever whispers part of what it knows
and it's never ventured through the locks
where the brazen river flows
it's the fingerprint which is never made
it's the perfume of a rose

and it is there if you are searching
but the moment must be right
as the night is black as the day is white
please my friend help to make me glad
help me find the one and only thing I've never had
what is true

even though it only ever whispers part of what it knows
and it's never ventured through the locks
where the brazen river flows
it's the fingerprint which is never made
it's the perfume of a rose

Edit 3a for headphones. Dubbed video. Edit to give this wonderful song a deluxe feel. I made this edit also to enjoy the autoharp more. Recorded December 4, 1965. Released in the US on "Flowers", July 1967.
This is a Brian Jones song, because on this song:
Brian Jones played harpsichord;
Brian Jones played autoharp;
Brian Jones played marimba;
Brian Jones played congas;
Brian Jones played piano;
Brian Jones played electric guitars;
Brian Jones sang backing vocals.
Keith Richards: electric guitars and backing vocals.
Lead vocals: Mick Jagger.
Bass: Bill Wyman.
Drums: Charlie Watts.

Brian Jones plays the marimba like a true virtuoso.
What he does here is plain overwhelmingly beautiful, Brian really outshines on the marimba in this song.

I really love this song. It has Brian 'soaked' all over. At the right channel Brian on harpsichord as well as on his Rickenbacker guitar; on the left Brian on autoharp (though Wikipedia says koto). Also on marimbas, congas and piano. Truly an "Aftermath"-sessions song with Brian at his peak. I made this edit to make the bass and the first three of the forementioned instruments better audible. I agree, quite some bass distortion, don't blame me, it is also on the cd... Source file of the edit was on "Flowers" (Japanese mini lp remastered 2006) [uicy-93025].

RIDE ON, BABY
(Jagger/Richards)

a smile on your face
but not in your eyes
you're looking through me
you don't feel it inside

get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
ride on, baby, ride on, baby
I could pick your face out in an FBI file
you may look pretty but I can't say the same for your mind
ah ah ah

you walk up to me
and try to look shy
the red round your eyes
says that you ain't a child

get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
ride on, baby, ride on, baby

Well I've seen your face in a trashy magazine
you know where you're going
but I don't like the places you've been
ah ah ah

get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
ride on, baby, ride on, baby

I can pick your face out from the front or behind
you may look pretty but I can't say the same for your mind
ah ah ah

laugh it a bit
give it a try
if I'm not impressed
you can still cry

get out and ride on, baby, ride on, baby
ride on, baby, ride on, baby

by the time your thirty y'gonna look sixty-five
you won't look pretty
and your friends will have kissed you goodbye

ride on, baby
ride on, baby...

BLESSED
(Paul Simon)

blessed are the meek for they shall inherit
blessed is the Lamb whose blood flows
blessed are the sat upon spat upon ratted on

oh Lord why have You forsaken me?

I got no place to go
I've walked around Soho for the last night or so
ah but it doesn't matter no

blessed is the land and the kingdom
blessed is the man whose soul belongs to
blessed are the meth drinkers pot sellers illusion dwellers

oh Lord why have You forsaken me?

my words trickle down
from a wound that I have no intention to heal

blessed are the stained glass window pane glass
blessed is the church service makes me nervous
blessed are the penny rookers cheap hookers groovy lookers

oh Lord why have You forsaken me?
I, I have tended my own garden much too long

Special version, not and edit. The interesting thing about this version is, beside its being true stereo: in the last few seconds (2.24 to 2.30) you hear some brass "chattering" and footsteps (of "your mother" walking away from the shadow). This song is from the bootleg album "Time Trip 5" by Scorpio. This one is only slightly edited: I only removed a few vinyl ticks.

Recorded August thru September, 1966. Released as US & UK single in September, 1966. Released on UK album "Big hits (green grass and high tide)", November 4, 1966. In the US on "Flowers", July 15, 1967.

Guitars: Brian Jones & Keith Richards. Lead ocals: Mick Jagger. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts. Piano: Ian Stewart (hitting it real hard). Horns: arranged by the Mike Leander Orchestra.

HAVE YOU SEEN YOUR MOTHER, BABY, STANDING IN THE SHADOW?
(Jagger/Richards)

have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow?
have you had another, baby, standing in the shadow?
I'm glad I opened your eyes.
the have-nots have tried to freeze you in ice.

have you seen your brother, baby, standing in the shadow.
have you had another baby, standing in the shadow.
I was just passing the time.
I'm all alone, won't you give all your sympathy to mine.

tell me a story about how you adore me.
live in the shadow, see through the shadow,
glimpse through the shadow, tear at the shadow.
hate in the shadow, and love in your shadowy life.

have you seen your lover, baby, standing in the shadow.
has he had another baby, standing in the shadow.
baby, where have you been all your life.
talking about all the people who should try anything twice.

have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadow.
have you had another baby, standing in the shadow.
you take your choice at this time.
the brave old world or the slide to the depths of decline.

Edit for headphones. I used to get annoyed by this song, hearing it over and over again on the radio, but, listening closely to it with h e a d p h o n e s on I found out it is a masterpiece. Masterpiece. Dot.

The Doobie Brothers' first big hit in 1972, it peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1972. #3 in Canada, #7 in Holland (do the Dutch have better taste than Americans?) #11 in the USA, #29 in the UK (do the English have the worst taste of 'm all ?), no, these: #50 in Australia.

It was written and sung by guitarist and vocalist Tom Johnston. Patrick Simmons, the second guitarist and vocalist in the group, sings the bridge of the song (the part that has the flanging effect).

Edit 2 (live totp) for headphones. Not the best sound quality on this bootleg.
Recorded real live on bbc tv "top of the pops", march 4, 1965 - says the bootleg cd "Get satisfaction... if you want!" Others say: bbc radio "Yeah Yeah!" Recorded August 1965, broadcast August 30, which is more likely, for the bootleg says it's bbc radio recordings.

The official release of the song is released on "Out Of Our Heads", September 24, 1965 in UK, and on "The Rolling Stones, Now!", February 13, 1965 in US and on some hundred million compilation albums...

No matter how much she wants me
I'm not going nowhere, oh no
I'm gonna stick right here, my my
I know how much I care
So don't worry 'bout me baby
'Cause I'm right here at home
Oh baby, oh baby, we got a good thing goin'

They may talk all about me

But deep down inside me
I know I'm the only man
So don't worry 'bout me baby
'Cause I'm right here at home
Oh baby, oh baby,
we got a good thing goin'

So maybe I knew her
Once upon a time
But that's all in the past babe
Baby let me know you're mine, all mine, all mine

No matter how she wants me
I'm not going nowhere
I'm gonna stick right here, babe
I know how much you care
So don't worry 'bout me baby
I'm right here at home
Oh baby, oh baby,
we got a good thing goin'

Not an edit. This is the full album version of the song. I apologize for editing the stereo version into this live tv performance. (I just wanted to hear the full version, and in stereo.) The song is a portrait of a poor-born girl who becomes a member of the European jet set. The song topped the charts in 14 countries. #60 in the USA. It was also awarded the 1970 Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.

The song was not originally intended to be a single. Peter: "I wanted to write a long, extended piece because I was working in folk clubs and universities, and Al Stewart had something that was half an hour long and Bob Dylan's "Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands" took a whole side of an album. "Where Do You Go To My Lovely" was my first attempt at writing something longer than my normal three minutes. It was amazingly easy to write, but I knew what I wanted to say. I wanted to say something about this particular person, although it wasn't about anyone specific."

WHERE DO YOU GO TO (MY LOVELY)?
(Peter Sarstedt)

you talk like Marlene Dietrich and you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
your clothes are all made by Balmain
and there's diamonds and pearls in your hair, yes there are

you live in a fancy apartment off the Boulevard St. Michel
where you keep your Rolling Stones records
and a friend of Sacha Distel, 'yes you do

you go to the embassy parties where you talk in Russian and Greek
and the young men who move in your circles
they hang on every word you speak, yes they do

but where do you go to my lovely, when you're alone in your bed
tell me the thoughts that surround you I want to look inside your head, yes I do

I've seen all your qualifications, you got from the Sorbonne
and the painting you stole from Picasso
your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does

'when you go on your summer vacation, you go to Juan-les-Pines
with your carefully designed topless swimsuit
you get an even suntan on your back and on your legs

and when the snow falls, you're found in St. Moritz 'with the others of the jet-set
and you sip your Napoleon Brandy but you never get your lips wet, no you don't

but where do you go to my lovely, when you're alone in your bed
'won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you, I want to look inside your head, yes I do

you're in between twenty and thirty, a very desirable age
your body is firm and inviting, 'but you live on a glittering stage, yes you do, yes you do

your name, it is heard in high places, you know the Aga Khan
he sent you a racehorse for Christmas and you keep it, just for fun, for a laugh aha-ha-ha

they say that when you get married, it'll be to a millionaire
'but they don't realize where you came from
and I wonder if they really care, or give a damn

where do you go to my lovely, when you're alone in your bed?

Edit 3a for headphones, October 2021. Recorded December 3-8, 1965 in Los Angeles, RCA Studios, Hollywood, released first in the US as a B side to "19th Nervous Breakdown" on February 11, 1966. Released October 1973 in the UK on the album "No Stone Unturned". In the US in 1989 on the album "Singles Collection, The London Years". Further on, as usual, on some fifteen thousand other compilation albums... It even was released as B side to "You Can't Always Get What You Want" in 1969. Source cd of this edit: 1989 - Singles Collection - The London Years (abkco-london 844 481-2).

Guitars: Brian Jones, Keith Richards. Vocals: Mick Jagger. Bass: Bill Wyman. Drums: Charlie Watts. Piano: Jack Nitzsche

(There is a glitch at exactly 0.47 where the guitar skips a note.)
This song has a special bass part, though I think it is two bass parts:
the first one is the one which the song begins with (sounds like the bass strings of a rhythm guitar);
then at 0:09 Bill Wyman comes in playing his bass guitar in a very peculiar way, carrying this song along so wonderfully. Or is it the bass pedals section of an electric piano?

SAD DAY
(Jagger/Richards)

someone woke me up this mornin' and I lit a cigarette
found myself when I stopped yawnin', started getting myself dressed
then I felt I had a dream, I remembered the things I'd seen
I could still hear the things you said with that bad dream in my head
it was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day

so I called you on the phone and your friend said "she's not home"
so I told her where I'd be at and that you should call me back
then I looked at the morning mail, I was not even expecting a bill
your letter a-started "Dear", and it left me with these tears.
it was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day

think of the times that we had rows, but we patched them up somehow
think of the times I tried to go, but you screamed and told me no
there is only one thing in this world that I can't understand, that's a girl
I keep a-readin' the things you said, like a bad dream in my head
it was a sad day, bad day, sad day, bad day

oh, what a sad, sad, old day - a sad, old day
it was a sad, old day
a sad, old day. It was a bad, old day, sad old day a bad old day
if there is one awful thing in this world that I can't understand, that's a girl
it was a sad, sad old day, sad old day
it was a sad, old day

Story about "Sad day" (nme dot com)

By the end of 1965 the Stones had recorded a set of brand new songs and wanted them to be released under the title of "Could You Walk On The Water". However Decca refused to release the album because of its title. After some conflict and negociations it was agreed that the new album would be titled "Aftermath". However the band had recorded new songs in March 1966, and the original track list was changed to what became the regular track list of "Aftermath".

Edit for headphones, December 2021. Source is the pretty bad stereo mix on the cd with the surprising title "After Tea". This Dutch band had a number 9 hit with this song in 1967 in Holland.

NOT JUST A FLOWER IN YOUR HAIR
(Hans van Eijck)

not just a flower in your hair
there must be love in your heart
no flowers will prevent lovers to part
no sweets in your mouth will bring peace to your mind
there's got to be a little kindness
and of course a little peace
before you wear your flowers
and before you eat your sweets

not just bells on your legs
will keep you on right tracks
the steps that you take
may be big mistakes
not a painting on your skin
tells you apart from your friends
you don't feel better with your marks
as painted fruits and hearts
you must be right inside your chest
to discern you from the rest

ben je boos pluk een roos ***
en zet 'm op je hoed
't is een oud verhaal
maar het doet 't nog steeds goed
draag een bloem in je haar
en wees lief voor elkaar
zing maar la la la...

not just a flower in your hair
there must be love in your heart
no flowers will prevent lovers to part
no sweets in your mouth will bring peace to your mind
there's got to be a little kindness
and of course a little peace
before you wear your flowers
and before you eat your sweets

not just a flower in your hair
there must be love in your heart
not just a flower in your hair
there must be love in your heart
not just a flower in your hair
there must be love in your heart
not just a flower in your hair
there must be love in your heart

*** translation:
are you mad pick a rose
and put it on your hat
it's an old story
but it still works well
wear a flower in your hair
and be kind to each other
sing la la la...

DEAR DOCTOR
(Jagger/Richards)

Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
There's a pain where there once was a heart
It's sleepin, it's a beatin'
Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it
Right there in that jar?

Oh help me, please mama, I'm sick'ning
It's today that's the day of the plunge
Oh the gal I'm to marry
Is a bow-legged sow
I've been soakin' up drink like a sponge

"Don't ya worry, get dressed," cried my mother
As she plied me with bourbon so sour
Pull your socks up, put your suit on
Comb your long hair down,
For you will be wed in the hour

So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
There's a pain where there once was a heart
I'm sleepin, it's a beatin'
Can't ya please take it out, and preserve it
Right there in that jar?

Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
There's a pain where there once was a heart
It's sleepin, it's a beatin'
Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it
Right there in that jar?

I was tremblin', as I put on my jacket
It had creases as sharp as a knife
I put the ring in my pocket
But there was a note
And my heart it jumped into my mouth

It read, "Darlin', I'm sorry to hurt you.
But I have no courage to speak to your face.
But I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou
There be no wedding today."

So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
You can put back my heart in its hole
Oh mama, I'm cryin'
Tears of relief
And my pulse is now under control

Edit for headphones. With a lot of bass, I know, that's how I like it... This song is written by Ray Collins, lead singer of "The Mothers Of Invention" on their 1968 album "Cruising With Ruben & The Jets" (their fourth studio album). One of the very, very, very, very few songs in the world with an acceptable sax-o-phone sound...
During a recording session engineer Richard Kunc and the "Mothers of Invention" discussed their high school days and doo wop songs. Ray Collins and some of the other members of the band started singing and performing the songs, and Zappa suggested that they record an album of doo wop music.

lead vocals: Ray Collins
electric bass, vocals (high weazlings, dwaedy-doop): Roy Estrada

ANYTHING
(Ray Collins)

for you, I could do anything
for your love, my heart cries
take my heart, my love my everything
for so long I have needed your love

oh, when, when you first came to me
I doubted your love
but now you mean everything to me
and each day I love you more

for you I could do anything
for your love, my heart cries
take me heart, my love, my everything
(take my heart, take my love)
for so long I've needed your love
(take my heart, take my love)

take my heart, take my love
take my heart, take my love

edit 1b (bridges) for headphones. video messed up to prevent a copyright ban by Eagle Rock. I tried many layers, this is the first layer that YouTube's copyright detection software misses... so, finally, THE great live Rolling Stones performance in Saint Louis Missouri, 1997 "Bridges to Babylon" tour, sound all pumped up for your pleasure

finally fourty seven audible seconds of crowd-cheering-their-lungs-out, and not just for nothing, this truly is one of their best performances of this song ever, I think

JUST FANCY
(Harry J. Rijnbergen)

Just fancy
I was working on the farmyard again
The farmer didn't like the clothes that I wear
And the length of my hair
It was much too long

Just fancy
Every morning it was daybreak at six
I took my cycle and I covered the road
No chance to trail my coat
So I was out on the run

Down there where the fields are waving (down there)
Down there it got to go without failing (down there)
Down there with my partners who are still (down there)
Down there as a gardener I lived (down there)

Just fancy
Living between the people without ears
Do not like the music that I like
Except what they like
But not meant for me

Just fancy
Talking with John who don't care a damn
When he's hurting, your feeling's dead
Without some regret
He doesn't see my mind

Down there where the days are too long (down there)
Down there you have to hold your tongue, yeah (down there)
Down there the farmer's son is chasing (down there)
Down there the farmer's sister's amazing (down there)

Just fancy
Life for me is so much easier now
Ev'rything's getting more useful here
The only words I hear
Are all just mine

Just fancy
I had to tell them all the things I think
About the way I hang my hair
Or to explain my glare
They say I have

Down there
Down there
Down there
Down there
Down there

FACTORY GIRL
(Jagger/Richards)

Waiting for a girl who's got curlers in her hair
Waiting for a girl she has no money anywhere
We get buses everywhere
Waiting for a factory girl

Waiting for a girl and her knees are much too fat
Waiting for a girl who wears scarves instead of hats
Her zipper's broken down the back
Waiting for a factory girl

Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night
She's a sight for sore eyes
Waiting for a factory girl

Waiting for a girl and she's got stains all down her dress
Waiting for a girl and my feet are getting wet
She ain't come out yet
Waiting for a factory girl

www.songfacts.com says:

This is a song about poverty. It was Mick Jagger's first attempt at a serious song with meaning.

Dave Mason, who played the acoustic guitar for the Jimi Hendrix Experience and sang background on songs such as "Crosstown Traffic" and "Fire," agreed to play mandolin on this song. (thanks, Stephanie - Denver, CO, for above 2)

Ric Grech was brought in to play fiddle on this. Grech was a violinist and bass player who was a member of the band Family in the '60s and went on to play in Blind Faith with Eric Clapton. He also played on Gram Parsons' solo albums in the '70s, and he appears on Ron Wood and Ronnie Lane's 1976 Mahoney's Last Stand project.

Drummer Charlie Watts: "On Factory Girl, I was doing something you shouldn't do, which is playing the tabla with sticks instead of trying to get that sound using your hand, which Indian tabla players do, though it's an extremely difficult technique and painful if you're not trained."

Guitarist Keith Richards: "To me Factory Girl felt something like Molly Malone, an Irish jig; one of those ancient Celtic things that emerge from time to time, or an Appalachian song. In those days I would just come up and play something, sitting around the room. I still do that today." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 3)

Not an edit. Tashaki Miyaki's song is from the album "Stoned - A Psych Tribute To The Rolling Stones" (Various Artists). About the band: Mystery Los Angeles lo-fi psych trio Tashaki Miyaki don't reveal much about themselves. Named after a mispronunciation of Japanese director Tashaki Miike's name and often operating under aliases themselves, the mysterious vibe seems to be working in their favor. With a drummersinger leading their laid back dream pop pychedelic shoegaze tunes, they are a force to be reckoned with.
Dora, Page and Gary are the mystery talent that is the awesomeness of Tashaki Miyaki. Or are they Lucy (drums & vocals), Rocky (guitar) and Dora (bass and backing vocals)?

This is a cover of a genuine Rolling Stones sixties composition, from the legendary Stones album "Aftermath", the album that you really should buy.

TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT
Mick Jagger/Keith Richards)

you can turn off and on more times
than a flashin' neon sign

just what you're gonna do now
you take it or leave it, it's just my life

there've been times when you tried
makin' eyes at all my so called friends
then you go, now you're back
but you can be so kind

just take it or leave it
don't tell your friend
just what you're gonna do now
you take it or leave it, it's just my life

I'm sick and tired of the smile that you give
when you don't come home at night
you said you'd call, that's a lie
but you could be so kind

just take it or leave it
don't tell your friend
just what you're gonna do now
you take it or leave it, it's just my life

oh, la la la ta ta ta ta la la la la
oh, la la la ta ta ta ta la la

Edit 1b for headphones. Slow motion video, for the "Reelin' in the Years" a$$holes took down this live video performance from this channel, so now a sluggish video instead. Sorry.

GET OFF OF MY CLOUD
(Jagger/Richards)

I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up just like a Union Jack
And says, I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack

I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd n my cloud, baby

The telephone is ringing I say, "Hi, it's me. Who is it there on the line?"
A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you, well, I guess I'm doin' fine"
He says, "It's three a.m., there's too much noise don't you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just 'cause you feel so good, do you have to drive me out of my head?"

I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud baby

I was sick and tired, fed up with this and decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful there was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like a flag stuck on my window screen

I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud

Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around, baby, two's a crowd
