KALEIDOSCOPE (U.S.A.) - Please

i know you mean to help
when you're giving me advice
but don't you realize
that you can't live my life
i've got to get me up and fly
i can't breathe down here
and if i crash keep standing by
i'm just getting into gear

stand by me
you don't need to say a word
if i stumble or i fall
or i can't see
the writing on the wall
pleeeeeeeeeease
don't say nothing at all
just stand by me
stand by me

Don't tell me about
how i'm doing right or wrong
i don't need no advice
on how to sing my song
i've got to find my own way
and do my own thing
and if you wanna be my friend
let me push my own swing

stand by me
you don't need to say a word
if i stumble or i fall
or i can't see
the writing on the wall
pleeeeeeeeeease
don't say nothing at all
just stand by me
stand by me

Does anybody know where I can find the lyrics for this song ?

@timepaper

I placed the lyrics in the description

[SirLiamVanOctopus]

Grandissimo, pensavo di essere l'unico in Italia a conoscerli. I due versi mancanti sono (o dovrebbero essere): "i'm just getting into gear" e "let me push my own swing". E manca un "don't" all'inizio della seconda strofa. La prima versione che ho sentito di questa canzone è quella degli Hearts and Flowers, ed ha qualche piccola variazione nel testo (là al posto di "swing" c'è un'altra parola, difficile da decifrare).

Thanks !

peace,

@Bethaneyc I was there under "some eucalyptus trees behind the stage...looking at the back of Jim Morrison's head" that day too. It's a small universe! All of the music that day was great, including these guys. A side note... The Iron Butterfly were supposed to perform the same day but a couple of the guys couldn't make it so we missed out on another great band. This was still a few months before the release of the Butterfly's first album.

one of the most eclectic bands ever. they play psychedelic rock, blues, country, turkish music all mixed toghether with great touch and inspiration. one of my favorite band ever!

@GregoryWonderwheel I was there too, a couple of months before my 18th birthday, very impressed with them. They were doing what many years later would come to be known as "world music". I dropped some very good stuff that day and parked myself in some eucalyptus trees behind the stage before I came on too heavy. I do remember having an out of body experience. One second I was looking at the back of Jim Morrison's head, the next I was watching the rest of the Doors set from out front.

Saw them in July 1967 at Devonshire Downs in Northridge CA. That day the Doors and Country Joe and the Fish were playing there too, but I liked Kaleidoscope better.
