It's: "bring me my scissors and those hot waters"--see "Through The Eyes Of Magic" by John French. The song always makes me think of what the ancient Egyptians believed about death--weighing the heart against a feather--and the "boats to forever" being the boats which would ferry dead souls across the Duad, the river of the dead...of course it could just as well be about Don's mum!
Don's awesome influence is undeniable, but you've GOT to realize the guys who CREATED the music over which Don proclaimed are as much deserving of aclaim as the dude who took all the credit.
30 years later, I still use "bad fuggum, a pitcher of red-hot juice!" as an all-purpose curse phrase. And I still don't know if "Sue Egypt" is a proper noun or a command---it works either way.
3: Big smoke fingers wave -- come here, come here /Bring me my scissors and those on waters/The moon was a wisdomatic pristocratic vagabond/Bad fuggum/A pitcher of red-hot juice -- a picture of red garnet juice/Chills quick you -- voices pick you -- crows hex you/Deluxum postum avion -- wizard kiss and all be gone/Scenes, dreams, boats to forever -- boated ether -- creep the ether feather/Sue Egypt -- Sue Egypt
2: I think of all -- I think of all/I think of all those people who ride on my bones/That nobody sees, that nobody dares/That nobody hears, that nobody cares/I think of the dust that collects on the chairs/And under her eyes -- and through her eyes/And out her body -- and in her body/And in her hearse/
One of my all-time favorites. Lyrics corrections, part 1: Chills quick you -- voices pick you -- crows hex you/Deluxum postum avion -- wizard kiss and all be gone/Scenes, dreams, boats to forever -- boated ether -- creep the ether feather/Sue Egypt -- Sue Egypt/Boing pong hocus pocus avion/I think of all those people that ride on my bones/I think of all of those people that ride on my bones/That nobody hears/That nobody sees/That nobody knows/Sue Egypt -- Sue Egypt/
Some lyrics corrections, I think -- part one: Chills quick you -- voices pick you -- crows hex you/Deluxum postum avion -- wizard kiss and all be gone/Scenes, dreams, boats to forever -- boated ether -- creep the ether feather/Sue Egypt -- Sue Egypt/Boing pong hocus pocus avion/I think of all those people that ride on my bones/I think of all of those people that ride on my bones/That nobody hears/That nobody sees/That nobody knows/Sue Egypt -- Sue Egypt
Only Jeff Morris Tepper, Eric Drew Feldman and Van Vliet played on this. That's called a power trio. I think Feldman is playing bass synth pedals in addition to Mellotron... mayve.
I think Caroline Records still makes this on CD. I picked up a copy about 14 years ago in a record shop. I had to order it and it came from another record shop in California. And i live in Florida! Worth every penny.
This is close to being my favorite, "Ashtray" being the first, I think. "Sue Egypt" is freaking insane. It makes me feel like I'm losing my mind, but it's beautiful at the same time. I love it. What a great album,too. Long live the Captain.
fucking genious
