01. I Can Hear The Grass Grow
(Wood)
2:49
See the people all in line
Was making them look at me
Can't imagine that their minds
Are thinkin' the same as me
'Cos I can hear the grass grow
I can hear the grass grow
I hear rainbows in the evening
My head's attracted to
Magnetic wave of sound
With a wave of common circles
Glisten its way around
'Cos I can hear the grass grow
I can hear the grass grow
I hear rainbows in the evening
Can't seem to fathom out the sound
And my senses form a micro
Get a hold of yourself now baby
You know I need you to help now baby
Get a hold of yourself now baby
Put your head down to the ground
And listen to your mind
If you don't know what I found
I know that you're not my kind
'Cos I can hear the grass grow
I can hear the grass grow
I hear rainbows in the evening
Can't seem to fathom out the time
My senses form a micro
Get a hold of yourself now baby
You know I need you to help now baby
Get a hold of yourself now baby
See the people all in line
Was making them look at me
Can't imagine that their minds
Are thinkin' the same as me
'Cos I can hear the grass grow
I hear rainbows in the evening
And I can hear the grass grow
I hear rainbows in the evening
02. Clasp Hands
(Smith/Trafford)
2:32
We're going down on N-ineteen
At 4:30 a.m.
And we grasped the hands
In N.Y.C.
It was Steve's song
Clasp hands
Well perhaps it's so familiar
In a blue bus
It was a pleasure
The lights were wolverines
A cuckoo is talking
So we clasped hands
We grasped hands
We're going down N.Y.C.
Steve's song
A woman named Pearl was talking to me
And we all clasped hands
It was clockwork tears
And we all clasped hands
It was one of the best shows ever seen
Ludicrous, majestic and exhilarating
Priscilla Chaos is a lustrous jewel
And we all clasped hands
In N.Y.C.
(7" side 1: track 1; side 2: track 2)
