Brick House - Joan Osborne + Diesel

I've seen the Grateful Dead, I have seen Joan Osborne, I just haven't seen them together. I think I was working as a postdoc at the time and didn't have the chance to get out of the lab.

Brick House - Dead, Bob Wier, Phil Lesh, Joan Osborne

Live is Sausalito CA.



I don't know why, but that got me thinking of this song by Diesel

The Move - Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited

I have not heard this song in ages. I used to play this on harmonica. The band is The Move and the song is called Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited. I was very excited when I stubbled upon this video. A classic rock song with lyrics below.

The Move - Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited



(It was one morning when I woke up, and then I found out that they'd signed some
papers, and then I was gonna be kept in a bed owing to my state of mind.
And then I found out that the authorities had said, um, that I'd gotta
have special food fed to me for my thoughts, um, and I think it's because,

Head
Sunbeam from flowered skies
Twenty thousand butterflies
Glorify my...
Turn from hot to very cool
Though it seems incredible
I could ride a bike around the room

Cherry Blossom Clinic
Is there any truth in what they say
Cherry Blossom Clinic
Lock me in and throw the key away

In this sad position where I lie
From the corner of my eye
Callous friends just pass me by
Doctor pays a visit
Everyday I keep asking for my Dad
They must think I'm going mad
Lift the blankets off my face
Quick before I suffocate
Trying hard to meditate
Tell the people, "What a scene"
Write a letter to the Queen
Asking her if she can come to tea

CHORUS

Up above the sun is high
Like a tea tray in the sky
Helicopter lands upon my bed
Phantom horses quickly fade
Turning into lemonade
Probably feel better when I'm dead

CHORUS
