Quicksilver Messenger Service

Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
Can't you see that flash of fire ten times brighter than the day?
And behold a mighty city broken in the dust again,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt's buried in her shame,
The mighty men are all beaten down, their kings are fallen in the ways,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
Terror is on every side, lo our leaders are dismayed.
For those who place their faith in fire, their faith in fire shall be
repaid,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
And shout a warning unto the nation that the sword of God is raised.
Yes, Babylon, that mighty city, rich in treasures, wide in fame,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

The meek shall cause your tower to fall, make of you a pyre of flame,
Oh you who dwell on many waters, rich in treasures, wide in fame.
you bow unto your God of gold, your pride of might shall be a shame,
For only God can lead His people back unto the Earth again.

Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
A Holy mountain be restored, and mercy on that people, that people

Hold on girl, now don't be blue,
dry those tears for me and you,
Can't you see our love is true, when you remember,
To do just what you say you'll do, can't you see I live for you?
And I need you to trust me too, open your eyes.
So the sun can shine lights in you, will light on your windows,
And change all your baby blues to golden sparks that light your eyes,
When you finally realize that your fears were all just lies,
So open those eyes and let the sun shine lights in you,
Light on your windows and take all your baby blues

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire,
I got a cobra snake for a necktie,
I got a brand new house by the road side,
Made out of rattlesnake hide.
I got me a chimney made on top,
Made from a human skull,
Now come on, take a little walk with me,
Now who do you love?
Come on Arlene, take me by the hand,
Let me know you understand,


Who do you love? ...
Ride nine times on the midnight train
Through the fire and cold rain,
Who do you love? ...
I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine,
Just twenty-two and I don't mind dying,
Who do you love? ...

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me, so

* Darling darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon


Should tumble and fall
Ot the mountain
Should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me, and
(Repeat * 2 times)

Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me, oh stand by me

I don't ever want to see you crying,
And I don't ever want to see you blue,
oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you
And maybe hope you could know me too.
Well I don't ever want to make you sorry
For anything you've ever said or done,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was love you,
And maybe hope you could love me too.
And it's all right baby, I'm in love with you,
And it's all right, I would never make you blue or try to play with you,

Well I don't ever want to spoil your party, babe,
Or tell you where to go or what to do,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you,
There may be hope you could know me too.
And it's all right baby, I'm in love with you,
And it's all right, I would never make you blue or try to play with you,

Well I don't ever want to spoil your party, babe,
Or tell you where to go or what to do,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was love you,
There may be hope you could love me too

I used to walk on the city streets
Now I wander far and wide
And I never found my happiness
Until I moved to the country-side
Now follow me for a quiet day
Out riding on the trails
Waitin' Smog, Traffic Bomb
Where all the pigs and tales

I'm in shady grove
Shady Grove my honey
Shady grove my true love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

If you've been watching the city streets
Can't seem to get much greener
Then I know where we're going to
Our heads will feel much cleaner

It's Shady Grove my true love
Shady Grove my honey
Shady Grove my true love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

?
It's easy to know who you are
When you're living with the trees
I'm in Shady Grove
Shady Grove, where it's always clean ?

Joseph's many coloured coat
Left him lyin' in the moat
He lived his life
As prince and slave
And in the end forgave
You wanna feel like a man
Then act like a man
You wanna be like a man
Then act like one yeah
You live your life
By bein' fair
You'll find that
Your strength lies there
For pigs and armies
Will fight in vain
Against a natural main
You wanna feel like a man
Then act like a man
You wanna be like a man
Then act like a man
The road of life
Is dark and steep
Sometimes it's like a
Nightmare creepin'
If you don't give for what you take
You may never wake

Oh, what you do to me, oh, what you do to me, little girl.
Ooo, have another hit of sweet air, come on, ooo, have another hit.
I want to know where you're going,
I want to know, sweet mama, where you're gonna go, yeah.
Ooo, have another hit of fresh air, ooo, have another hit.
Oh, baby, what you gonna do, oh, honey, what you gonna do, sweet thing?
Ooo, have another hit of sweet love, ooo, have another hit.
I love you, yes I do, babe, and I love you, I do, sweet lips.
Ooo, have another hit of sweet California sunshine, ooo, have another hit.
Take me home, take me home, take me home with you,
Take me home, I wanna go home with you, little girl.
Ooo, have another hit of fresh air, ooo, have another hit.

You poisoned my sweet water.
You cut down my green trees.
The food you fed my children
Was the cause of their disease.
My world is slowly fallin' down
And the airs not good to breathe.
And those of us who care enough,
We have to do something.......
Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me?
Your newspapers,
They just put you on.
They never tell you
The whole story.
They just put your
Young ideas down.
I was wonderin' could this be the end
Of your pride and glory?
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
I work in your factory.
I study in your schools.
I fill your penitentiaries.
And your military too!
And I feel the future trembling,
As the word is passed around.
"If you stand up for what you do believe,
Be prepared to be shot down."
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
And I feel like a stranger
In the land where I was born
And I live like an outlaw.
An' I'm always on the run
An Im always getting busted
And I got to take a stand
I believe the revolution
Must be mighty close at hand
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
I smoke marijuana
But I cant get behind your wars.
And most of what I do believe
Is against most of your laws
I'm a fugitive from injustice
But I'm goin' to be free.
Cause your rules and regulations
They dont do the thing for me
Oh....oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh....oh What you gonna do about me?
And I feel like a stranger
In the land where I was born
And I live just like an outlaw.
An' I'm always on the run.
Oh....oh What you gonna do about me?

Just about love, like the wing of some high-flying bird,
Of the songs I will sing to you, you can hear every word,
That I ever heard come to you.
Of the people I've been, of the visions I have seen,
Of the things I think about, of situations that I can hear sometimes,
And the places I have been at times, just trying to be,
These things can only happen once in a lifetime,


These things can only matter here if you have time.
Someone will touch you softly and it will be me,
Someone will call your name and then come to me, free.
Free as the wind, free as the rain falling,
Free as the night, free as nature calling ...

And I don't ever want to see you blue,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you
And maybe hope you could know me too.
Well I don't ever want to make you sorry
For anything you've ever said or done,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was love you,
And maybe hope you could love me too.
And it's all right baby, I'm in love with you,
And it's all right, I would never make you blue or try to play with you,

Well I don't ever want to spoil your party, babe,
Or tell you where to go or what to do,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you,
There may be hope you could know me too.
And it's all right baby, I'm in love with you,
And it's all right, I would never make you blue or try to play with you,

Well I don't ever want to spoil your party, babe,
Or tell you where to go or what to do,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was love you,
There may be hope you could love me too

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire,
I got a cobra snake for a necktie,
I got a brand new house by the road side,
Made out of rattlesnake hide.
I got me a chimney made on top,
Made from a human skull,
Now come on, take a little walk with me,
Now who do you love?
Come on Arlene, take me by the hand,
Let me know you understand,


Who do you love? ...
Ride nine times on the midnight train
Through the fire and cold rain,
Who do you love? ...
I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine,
Just twenty-two and I don't mind dying,
Who do you love? ...

Quicksilver Messenger Service - Happy Trails (1969)
이들 역시 샌프란시스코 출신 싸이키델릭 밴드인데, 상대적으로 Grateful Dead나 Jefferson Airplane보다는 국내에서의 인지도가 낮은 듯합니다. 이 앨범은 이들의 1집과 더불어 대표작인 2집이고, 역시나 약물 냄새가 물씬 풍기는 음악을 들려줍니다. 수록곡 중 특히 When You Love를 권해드립니다.

hey hey hey hey, Mona,
I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna build my house next door to you,
Can I make love to you once in a while?
Maybe we could do a little kissing
and tellin' lies.
When I come out on the front, girl,
You'll listen to my heart goin' bumpity bump.
I need you baby and it ain't no lie,
When I'm through lovin' I'll surely die
Hey, Mona, hey hey hey hey, Mona,
