Simply Shady

1974 - Dark Horse

SIMPLY SHADY

Somebody brought the juicer
I thought I'd take a sip
Came off the rails so crazy
My senses took a dip
Before the bottle hit the floor
And I'd had time to think
I was blinded by desire
The elephant turned pink

The rest is simply shady
It's all been done before
But it doesn't make life easy
That's for sure
You may think about a lady
Cause yourself a minor war
And your life won't be so easy anymore

No sooner had I sown it
When I began to reap
I was torn from shallow water
And plunged into the deep
And as I started drowning
I clung onto a straw
That somehow kept me floating
While my madness craved for more

The rest is simply shady
It's all been done and more
But it doesn't make life simple
That's for sure

A pebble in the ocean
Must cause some kind of stir
And witnessed by the silence
Will reach from here to there
The action that I've started
Sometime I'll have to face
My influence in motion
Rebounding back through space

And the rest is simply shady
It's all been done before
But it doesn't make life easy
That's for sure
You may think of Sexy Sadie
Let her in through your front door
And your life won't be so easy anymore

This was the best track on Dark Horse.A lot of people dismiss this album.But I,ve always liked it. Gone Troppo was his weakest efort. But he was getting irratated by his label.

What a totally great song. Don't you just love the Beatles in all forms!!

[PlanTonto]

@MrOhnothimagain You are correct! This was the best song on this album. I am glad someone besides me think that. You remember the album design inside?

[Josephapl]

la voz de harrison se escucha exelente... es una manera diferente de cantar... y este album es exelente... nadie puede decir cuando es mejor.. si al final igual es george..

Dark Horse would be excellent if George's voice weren't bad. Just hear So Sad! An amazing song that would match much of All Things Must Pass if it were sung well!

I hope someone recreates that song one day with proper vocals, preferably a demo of George if possible...

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Esta canción me gusta muchííííííssssssimmoooo y me parece que la foma de cantar quebrando la voz, como lamentos realza la interpretación!!!!!!! Estoy seguro que George Harrison fue un Re-Bacan de otra forma la frase: "All the world is birthday cake, so take a piece but not too much" no habría salido de su cabeza. Esta frase forma parte de la letra de la canción "It´s all too much" del album Yellow Submarine". George Harrison: ¡Rest In Peace! ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Thanks a lot for your good music!!!!!!!

@darkhoarse820 Agree whole-heartedly. This and the title track are some of George's best

Liking the Dark Horse stuff more and more, this is a great song! George is number 1 in my book. His songs are still refreshing these days and enriching to my life.

SONG WISE, it's his best album next to ATMP, but the production value is pretty bad and let's not forget why my username is what it is...This is by far the best track off the album. Too bad it was rushed...Could've been a whole lot better.

[RIchardEPfeifer]

Yes

[cecibue1]

Si, sin duda.

No doubt.
