Aimee Mann - Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

23. + 27. march 2008

From the movie soundtrack of "I Am Sam"

"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.

{REFRAIN}
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Ah... Ah...

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies,
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers,
That grow so incredibly high.
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore,
Waiting to take you away.
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds,
And you're gone.

{REFRAIN}

Picture yourself on a train in a station,
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties,
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile,
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

@bosma64 Hi Jim. ^_^ I'll at least send you a link to amazon.com. (Being a socalled musician; I don't really like sharing files for free...I'll message you) Glad you stopped by. [≈ x

How come this version didn't come on my cd? I want it- I need it!!! The Black Crowes version is horrendous and Aimee is freaking amazing.

[SaraMUSt]

Ooh, I feel bad for you...'cause I agree! :S O_o

I love people, wether you like it or not: i love you. Please dont talk about my spelling, its just childish to correct someone when they're writing in another language they are use to. Last but not least: this was my last but not least comment.

May the fore be with you

[t8tertotsp]

@LiamGallagher1806 Calling someone a joke when they haven't provoked you? Hateful.

Also, maybe you should learn to spell.

[LiamGallagher1806]

@t8tertotsp

First of all, there not hatefull. Second of all, calling you a joke doesnt start a discussion, it places your opinion: deep down under.

[t8tertotsp]

@LiamGallagher1806 Well then keep you're hateful comments to yourself if you don't wish to start something.

[LiamGallagher1806]

@t8tertotsp

I dont want a discussion or something. I just wanna say: if someone stated thate the world wasnt round i would call him a joke.

[t8tertotsp]

@LiamGallagher1806 Please enlighten me. The Beatles were absolute genius, and I love every one of their songs. I prefer the slower, softer tone of this version, even though you may disagree. We all have our opinions, and you can share yours, just respect mine.

[LiamGallagher1806]

@t8tertotsp

youre a joke

[chrisocony]

This is great, as is Aimee Mann. But c'mon, people, the Beatles, especially with a song like this, are untouchable/stratospheric. John Lennon's voice...
