The Porpoise song


The opening scene of Head, 
Why couldn't that girl have been me?

My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
And it cannot rejoice

Wanting to be, to hear and to see
Crying to the sky

But the porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Clicks, clacks
Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style

Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie

But the porpoise is waving good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

One of my favorites, Auntie Grizelda, sung by Peter Tork.

I just don't want to know about the real world at all...


Sometimes The Monkees are the only reason I hang on.
When the day is making my skin crawl...
And the time clock is ticking too slowly.
Half past annoyed and a quarter 'til frustration.
"Hold on girl, wait a little bit longer."
I smile knowing that chill is just a drive and a click of the remote away.
"Weren't they good, they made me happy.
I think I can make it alone..."
Because I have listened to The Monkees.


Listen to The Band

The Monkees always save the day!!!

Davy was a hipster waaaay before it was cool!

Davy took a sip of beer and then stated that he moved to LA because Manchester was becoming too gentrified...He also noted that The Monkees were perhaps becoming too mainstream. JK guys I could go on like this forever

Special Thanks to Psycho Jello Monkees fan site for this photo.
I saw it and just couldn't resist sharing!
