All the lucky people who leave their home To go where their fellow flower people roam Some give a little and some give a lot Possibly been smoking that wonderful pot Oh baby, come on baby Live a little Bells that jingle from their boots so high Beads around their neck that could reach the sky Banners and signs all over the place Announcing you've hit a psychedelic race Oh baby, come on baby Live a little They drink the booze straight from the can That cause the freak outs across the land Sitting all around the big round square While worshiping the bottle as a prayer Oh baby, come on baby Live a little Thirteen little angels all on bikes Riding at midnight without any lights Some blowing glue and some blowing minds It's only the symbol of love, nature and life Come on baby, Live a little Come on baby, Live a little Come on baby, Live a little (m. dillon, 1968.)
Even if it was unhealthy, I don't want to miss these mind-expanding times! This is really a cool moody garage-psych song that remind me a bit of Lou Reed's Velvet Underground spirit. Thx Emma and A Happy New Year, cheers 🥂, Bernd
Es curiosa esa debilidad tuya por esa música sentimental garage a mi me encanta, claro, pero me sorprende tu éxito, son canciones de minorías, de calidad
Difficult for me to warm up to a song structure this repetitive, tho I will say that droning quality does set the groove for the druggy trance feel which the band wanted to achieve. IMO a song that departs from the verse /Chorus / verse structure should not go on and on too long, which thankfully Paisley Haze doesn't. Thanks for posting tho, it was an interesting curiosity I had not heard before!
Ah yes, such a classic! One of my favorite psych records. "Come on baby, live a little" is so relaxing to me
One of the best. A psych holy grail.
All the lucky people who leave their home
To go where their fellow flower people roam
Some give a little and some give a lot
Possibly been smoking that wonderful pot
Oh baby, come on baby
Live a little
Bells that jingle from their boots so high
Beads around their neck that could reach the sky
Banners and signs all over the place
Announcing you've hit a psychedelic race
Oh baby, come on baby
Live a little
They drink the booze straight from the can
That cause the freak outs across the land
Sitting all around the big round square
While worshiping the bottle as a prayer
Oh baby, come on baby
Live a little
Thirteen little angels all on bikes
Riding at midnight without any lights
Some blowing glue and some blowing minds
It's only the symbol of love, nature and life
Come on baby, Live a little
Come on baby, Live a little
Come on baby, Live a little

Nice one. It sounds more 66 than 68. 66 is my favourite year for bands like this, so that wasnt necessarily a put-down.
