Picture yourself on a boat on a river with tangerine trees and marmalade skies. Somebody calls you. You answer quite slowly: the girl with kaleidoscope eyes. Cellophane flowers of yellow and green towering over your head. Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes and she's gone. [First added to this chart: 09/20/2013]

She said she'd always been a dancer. She worked at fifteen clubs a day. And though I thought I knew the answer, well, I knew, but I could not say, and so I quit the p'lice department, and got myself a steady job, and though she tried her best to help me, she could steal, but she could not rob. Didn't anybody tell her? Didn't anybody see? Sundays on the phone to Monday, Tuesdays on the phone to me. [First added to this chart: 09/20/2013]

I've just seen a face I can't forget the time or place where we just met she's just the girl for me and I want all the world to see we've met. Mm-mm-hmm la-da-di. Falling, yes I am falling, and she keeps calling me back again. [First added to this chart: 09/20/2013]

This chart is so good. Great albums by Zappa, Jefferson Airplane, Beach Boyd and of course the Beatles.
I love In Search of the Lost Chord. Nice to see it up at #2.
