The Pretty Things - Baron Saturday [audio only]

Seventh track of the magical S.F. Sorrow, released in 1968.
Lyrics below:


Oh! Baron Saturday
Sorrow, he'll show you games to play
He bends his mouth up to your ear
The words won't disappear
He'll take your eyes out for a ride
Through an eyeglass of tears it's not clear

Oh! Baron Saturday
White visions black, mister malady
'neath a sky of milk
You're drinking silk
You've fast the runcible spoon
On satin plates
Young maidens wait
To be devoured in the glare of the moon


Except for Baron Saturday
Your life was cool
Good senses rule
Throw your life away

Oh! Baron Saturday
Let him steal your mind away
He'll show you the grave
Of someone who was saved
From living their life in a year
He'll show you the grave
Of someone who was saved
From taking his life with a knife

Except for Baron Saturday
Your life was cool
Good senses rule
Throw your life away

Noel Gallagher actually said once, "This song is so good I fully intend to base the rest of my career around it." This song is mega.

Attention any J.Crew models that are presently taking a few guitar lessons & plan on filling Wembley stadium -don't rip off this band's style or riffs and pass them off as your own.

My Grandma worked for Sears for many years and she always got my Bro and I some cool presents, like toys, bikes and clothes. In 1974, in 8th grade, she gave us a floor model 8-track stereo. Someone left a store demo of SF Sorrow inside the deck. At first, all of our friends thought it was weird and stupid. In time, it became a crowd favorite. Our friends often requested it and we smoked out and listened to it many times. I never met anyone else who had that album, which made it even cooler.
