EXP
Announcer is Mitch Mitchell : ""Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to radio station EXP.
Tonight we are featuring an interview with a very peculiar looking gentleman who goes by the name of Mr. Paul Corusoe on the dodgy subject of are there or are there not flying saucers or UFOs ?
Please Mr. Corusoe, please could you give us your regarded opinion on this nonsense about spaceships and even space people ?""

Mr. Corusoe is Jimi Hendrix : ""Thank you. As you well know you just can't believe everything you see and hear, can you ?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I must be on my way.""

Announcer :
Bu...but, but... ...I don't believe it.


Up from the Skies
I just want to talk to you
I won't do you no harm
I just want to know about your different lives
on this is here people farm
I heard some of you got your families
Living in cages tall and cold
and some just stay there and dust away
Past the age of old.

Is this true ?
Please let me talk to you.
I just wanna know about
the rooms behind your minds
Do I see a vacuum there
or am I going blind ?
Or is it just, remains of vibrations
and echoes long ago ?
Uh, things like "Love the world" and uh
Uh "Let your fancy flow"
Is this true ?
Please let me talk to you
Let me talk to you.
I have lived here before
the days of ice
and of course this is why
I'm so concerned and I come back to find
the stars misplaced
and the smell of a world
that is burned
a smell of a world
that is burned.
Yeah well, maybe, hmm...

Maybe it's just a... change of climate
Hmm, hmm...
Well, I can dig it
I can dig it baby
I just want to see.

So where do I purchase my ticket ?
I'd just like to have a ringside seat
I want to know about the new Mother Earth
I want to hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything
I want to hear and see everything
Yeah...

Aww, shucks
if my daddy could see me now
everything, everything, everything, oh everything.


Spanish Castle Magic
It's very far away
It takes about a half and a day to get there
if we travel by my dragon-fly
No it's not in Spain
but all the same you know, it's a groovy name
and the wind's just right.

Hey!
Hang on my darling
Hang on if you wanna go
Here it's a really groovy place
It's uh, just a little bit of uh, said uh, Spanish Castle Magic.
The clouds are really low
and they overflow with cotton candy
and battle grounds red and brown
but it's all in your mind
Don't think your time on bad things
just float your little mind around

Look out! Oww! Hang on my darling, yeah
Hang on if you wanna go
Get on top, really let me groove baby with... uh
just a little bit of Spanish Castle Magic.
Yeah baby, here's some
Yeah, ok babe, ok
It's still all in your mind babe
Oww!
Yeah!
Ah!

Hang on my darling, hey
Hang on, hang on if you wanna go
and it's happening, oh no, damn hey!
That's right baby, listen
a little bit of Spanish Castle Magic
Hey!
Little bit of Spanish Castle Magic
Hey hey!
I can't uh, sing this song, no
Yeah, ok baby
Get on baby
Yeah
It's all in your mind baby
Little bit of daydream here and there
Oh!
Yeah!
Ooh! yeah!
Ow!
Ev'rything's gonna be alright!


Wait until Tomorrow
Well, I'm standing here, freezing, inside your golden garden
Uh got my ladder, leaned up against your wall
Tonight's the night we planned to run away together
Come on Dolly Mae, there's no time to stall
but now you're telling me...

I think we better wait till tomorrow
Hey, yeah, hey
(chorus : I think we better wait till tomorrow)
Girl, what 'chu talkin' 'bout ?
(chorus : I think we better wait till tomorrow)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Got to make sure it's right, so until tomorrow, goodnight.
Oh, what a drag.

Oh, Dolly Mae, how can you hang me up this way ?
Oh, on the phone you said you wanted to run off with me today
now I'm standing here like some turned down serenading fool
Hearing strange words stutter from the mixed mind of you
and you keep tellin' me that ah...

I think we better wait till tomorrow
What are you talkin' 'bout ?
(chorus : I think we better wait till tomorrow)
No, can't wait that long
(chorus : I think we better wait till tomorrow)
Oh, no
Got to make sure it's right, until tomorrow, goodnight, oh.
Let's see if I can talk to this girl a little bit here...

Oww ! Dolly Mae, girl, you must be insane
So unsure of yourself leaning from your unsure window pane
Do I see a silhouette of somebody pointing something from a tree ?
Click bang, what a hang, your daddy just shot poor me
and I hear you say, as I fade away...

We don't have to wait till tomorrow
Hey!
We don't have to wait till tomorrow
What you say ?
(chorus : We don't have to wait till tomorrow)
It must have been right, so forever, goodnight, listen at 'cha.
(chorus : We don't have to wait till tomorrow)
Ah ! Do I have to wait ? Don't have to wait
(chorus : We don't have to wait till tomorrow)
It's a drag on my part
(chorus : We don't have to wait till tomorrow)
Don't have to wait, uh, hmm! Ah, no!
(chorus : We don't have to wait till tomorrow)
Don't have to wait, don't have to wait, yeah!
(chorus : We don't have to wait till tomorrow)
Don't have to wait, don't have to wait
(chorus : We don't have to wait till tomorrow)
Oh, oh
I won't be around tomorrow, yeah!
(chorus : We don't have to wait till tomorrow)
Don't have to wait
(chorus : We don't have to wait till tomorrow)
Goodbye, bye bye!
(chorus : We don't have to wait till tomorrow)
Oh, what a mix up
Oh, you gotta be crazy, hey, oww!
Don't have to wait till tomorrow.


Ain't No Telling
Well, there ain't no, huh
Ain't no telling baby
when you will see again
but I pray it will be tomorrow.
Well, the sunrise
Is burnin' my eyes baby
Well, now I must leave now
but I really hope to see you tomorrow.
Yeah. Well, my house is oh, such a million miles away
the feelin' there always hangs up my day
Oh, Cleopatra, she's driving me insane
She's tryin' to put my body in her brain.
So uh, just uh, kiss me goodbye, just to ease the pain.
Sing it, hah, sing it, hah!
Ain't no, ain't no telling baby
there ain't no telling baby
when you're gonna see me
'cause I really hope that uh, it'll be tomorrow
You know what I'm talkin' 'bout
Wooo, yeah
Hope it'll be ah, hope it'll be tomorrow, ah
Ain't no tellin' baby
Yeah, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout
anyway, must leave now.


Little Wing
Well, she's walking through the clouds
with a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
and moonbeams and fairy tales
that's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me
with a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me, anything.

Fly on little wing,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, little wing.


If Six Was Nine
(voce sussurante : "Yeah, sing a song bro'...")
If the sun refused to shine
I don't mind, I don't mind
(voce sussurante : "Yeah")

Let it be, it ain't me.

Dig.
'Cause I've got my own world to live through and uh, uh
and I ain't gonna copy you.

White collar conservative flashin' down the street
Pointin' their plastic finger at me, ha!
They're hopin' soon my kind will drop and die but uh
I'm gonna wave my freak flag high, high!
Oww!
Wave on, wave on...

Ah, ha, ha
Fall mountains, just don't fall on me
Go ahead on mister business man, you can't dress like me
Yeah!

Don't nobody know what I'm talkin' about
I've got my own life to live
I'm the one that's gonna die when it's time for me to die
So let me live my life the way I want to
Yeah, sing on brother, play on drummer.

Castles Made of Sand
Down the street you can hear her scream "you're a disgrace"
as she slams the door in his drunken face
and now he stands outside
and all the neighbors start to gossip and drool.

He cries "Oh, girl you must be mad,
what happened to the sweet love you and me had ?"
against the door he leans and starts a scene,
and his tears fall and burn the garden green.

And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually.

A little indian brave before he was ten,
Played wargames in the woods with his indian friends
and he built up a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fearless warrior indian chief.

Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
Tomorrow he would sing his first warsong and fight his first battle
but something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night.

And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually.

There was a young girl, whos heart was a frown
'Cause she was crippled for life,
and she couldn't speak a sound
and she wished and prayed she could stop living,
so she decided to die.

She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
and to her legs she smiled "You won't hurt me no more"
but then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say
"Look a golden winged ship is passing my way"
and it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going...

And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually.


She's so Fine
She walks with a bell-clock 'round her neck,
so the hippies think she's in with time, (time);
her hair glistens like robins on a deck
Branches attack me from her neck.

She's so fine.
She's so very, very fine.

The sun from a cloud sinks into her eyes
the rain from a tree soaks into her mind, (mind);
Morning signs sound just like a lock
all these signs are always a stock.

She's so fine
She's so very very fine.
When I veer I get so near
but so far far far away
Listen to me, today.
We united just beside a leaf
the ground was hard underneath, (her, her).
She's so fine.


One Rainy Wish
Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
not too long ago
a misty blue and the lilac too
a never to grow old.
a there you were under the tree of song
Sleeping so peacefully
in your hand a flower played
a waiting there for me.

I have never
Laid eyes on you
Not like a before
this timeless day
a but you walked and
once smiled my name
and you stole
My heart away
a stole my heart away little girl, yeah
all right!

Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Not too long ago
Misty blue and lilac too
a never to grow old.
Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Misty blue and lilac too
Golden rose, the color of the dream I had
Misty blue and lilac too
Gold and rose, gold and rose, gold and rose.

It's only a dream
I'd love to tell somebody about this dream
the sky was filled with a thousand stars
while the sun kissed the mountains blue
and eleven moons played across rainbows
above me and you.
Gold and rose the color of the velvet walls surround us.


Little Miss Lover
Little miss lover,
where have you been in this world for so long ?
Well, I love a lover that feels like you
Would you like to tag along ?
Well I really don't need any help little girl
but I think you could help me out anyway Ah, sack it to me.

Would you believe, baby, I've been looking for a Sun
that feels like you for some time.
Excuse me while I see
if the gypsy in me is right if you don't mind
Well, he signals me ok
so I think it's safe to say
I'm gonna make a play
Oh yeah
See me walk towards you baby
Ah, give me some
Oh, get into it.

Hey, Hey little miss lover
well now, there's so much you and me can discover
and I think we should start, hey, we should start right now, baby.
Hey, little miss lover
Ah, little miss lover
Yeah little miss lover
Ah, baby
Ah, look at me baby
Little miss lover
Hey baby
Hey!


Bold as Love
Anger he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armour
Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him
her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground.
Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted,
They quietly understand
once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,
but wonder why the fight is on.

But they're all bold as love, yes, they're all bold as love.

Yeah, they're all bold as love.
Just ask the axis.

My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war and ribbons of euphoria
Orange is young, full of daring, but very unsteady for the first go round.
My yellow in this case is not so mellow in fact I'm trying to say it's frightened like me
and all these emotions of mine keep holding me from
Giving my life to a rainbow like you.

But, I'm eh , yeah, I'm bold as love.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I'm bold, bold as love (hear me talking, girl)
I'm bold as love
just ask the axis (he knows everything).
Yeah, yeah, yeah .
