Brian says nowadays that he doesn't like the lyrics. What may he think about these lyrics ? Oh and didn't Van Dyke and Brian wrote it originally with Kennedy then bringing lyrics to it?

Almost sounds like a Ray Charles record.

And the lightnin' Dawn is frightenin' When you're coked out can't imagine why the lyrics were revised. i like the line about the cough drop too :lol Title: Re: KGB's \ Post by: Mark H. on April 23, 2011, 10:31:04 PM I really like it. :)
Title: Re: KGB's \ Post by: Curtis Leon on April 25, 2011, 10:52:07 PM Did Brian have a hand in the lyrics to this version? It sounds like a lot of the verses could've applied to him circa 1972.

"Ray, there's a way" sounds an awful lot like it could've been written by the same person who suggested the words "My friend Bob, he has a job" to one of his bandmates. :-D Title: Re: KGB's \ Post by: Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again on April 26, 2011, 11:54:31 AM I love these lyrics and the feel of this recording, but now I'm realizing how much I like the Riley lyrics too. I always thought if I finally heard the original lyrics, I'd never be able to listen to the Holland version again, but not so.... It's like having two very different approaches at saying the very same thing.... Very cool
Past shipwrecked Daughters, of wicked waters! ..... I've always loved that line. |
