Phillips Marmalade monkey near the widow shade Ballerina with a hand grenade Riding the sky on a silver bus But they could not know what they'd chosen 'Cause their thoughts were decomposing Like old talk in a gum machine But they would walk toward something they'd never seen The King and Queen and a couple of jesters Wearing cotton capes and polyesters Judged the crowd with their afterthoughts But exactly what were they thinking Mussolini or more like Lincoln An old flintlock and a new prom queen But they would walk toward something they'd never seen But if you wear glasses sight is delayed And you cannot tell you been betrayed By the puppet master in the TV box Argyle socks Someone change the locks The rusty wrench keeps on bleeding It's a garden but it sure ain't Eden Rosemary's got no thyme at the wishing well 'Cause wishes they are always frowning Try to swim but nearly drowning Dog paddle rock so serene But they still walk toward something they'd never seen But if you wear glasses sight is delayed And you cannot tell you been betrayed By the TV anchor in the cable box Celery stalks Living in Fort Knox Soulful sister can't be like them She'll live at 33 RPM 'Cause vinyl makes her feel that certain way All the notes that she been hearing Resonate and reappearing In blue Woodstock and the in between But they still walk toward something they never seen Tracks are: Me on vocal and harmonica Midi Bass Midi B3 RealTracks in song: 795:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm ModernCountrySync Ev 100 (A:strum) RealTracks in song: 1831:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopModernGrooveBrightA-B Ev16 075 RealDrums in Song: Nashville2Beat^08-a:Snare , b:Snare, Ride Recording and Mixing in Sonar Mastered in Sound Forge I hope you enjoy it.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I spent a lot of time back then trying to posit meaning on some of his lyrics.....so look out....I may be able to interpret yours. I gotta forward this to some friends. Very cool.

I think your songs sometimes have a nice Dylan-like quality. Joanne: Someday we'll figure out the lyrics. The whole project, from writing to shooting was fun. Glad you enjoyed it. Herb: I was hoping to get close to his '65 style. Good to hear you think it matched pretty well. Thanks for listening. Bud: I was first introduced to Dylan in '62 - when I was 10 - and my mother bought his first album. She bought all of them through '66 and I picked up after that. Thanks for listening. Sonny Ray: I enjoyed making it. Glad you liked it. John

Bob produces parody compilations called "Twisted Tunes" and Don Jr's CCR parodies are on every album. I can give Bob's email address, if you're interested. Perhaps Joe would be the better bet. PM me if you want Bob and/or Jo's personal emails. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, 'tis said!
