porpoise mouth, country joe and the fish

The white ducks fly on past the sun,
Their wings flash silver at the moon.
While waters rush down the mountain tongue
My organs play a circus tune.
I dance to the wonder of your feet
And sing to the joy of your knees.
The cold white dress on the mountain breast
Paints the frozen trees.

The maple plants patterns in the sky
Its leaves to kiss the wind
While scores of glittering bugs and flies
Dance polkas on her limbs.
I whistle symphonies of your face
And laugh for your hair so fine.
In startled greens of playground grass
A child jumps rope to rhyme.

Reeds and brass, the marching drums
Make a joyous sound
Trees bend low with nuts and plums
Then fall to find the ground.
I hunger for your porpoise mouth
And stand erect for love.
The sun burns up the winter sky
And all the earth is love.

Electric for Mind and Body came out WAY befor Pink Floyd's "Saucerful" or even "Piper" so I would say Syd saw or heard the MONTEREY POP 1967 Fish concert and was profoundly changed... IMHO...

Tune... never heard these before... just got recommended to me today. I love discovering music I haven't heard before. It sounds like something the Beatles forgot to write (in a good way).

Both Country Joe and Syd Barrett are true psychedelic pioneers and it' s better not to make any comparisons between them! Anyway, "porpoise mouth" is a great track, thanks for lyrics and video!!!

One of my favourite tracks from their first two great acid albums.

Well, as Porpoise Mouth is a euphemism for the female pudenda, this might just be about sex (as one or two people have noticed).

Most wonderful bouncing sound and feeling - it helped me through hard times in the eighties.

Always thought this was underrated.

[hudagree]
