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.

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.

If I were you, I'd realize that I love you more than any other guy, and I'll forgive the lie that I heard before when you gave me no reply.

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.

When some loud braggart tries to put me down, and says his school is great, I tell him right away, "Now what's the matter, buddy, ain't you heard of my school? It's number one in the state!" So be true to your school.

Ain't got no distractions, can't hear those buzzer and bells, must feel them on the bumpers, plays by sense of smell. He's got crazy flippin' fingers, the digit counters fall. That deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball.

Tears are running, they're all running down your dress. And your friends, baby, will treat you like a guest. Don't you want somebody to love? Don't you need somebody to love? Wouldn't you love somebody to love? You better find somebody to love.

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.
