Bob Marley - Natural Mystic

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air
If you listen carefully now you will hear

This could be the first trumpet, might as well be the last
Many more will have to suffer
Many more will have to die
Don't ask me why
Things are not the way they used to be
I won't tell no lie

One and all got to face reality now
Though I've tried to find the answer to all the questions they ask
Though I know it's impossible to go living through the past
Don't tell no lie

There's a natural mystic blowing through the air
Can't keep them down
If you listen carefully now you will hear

Such a natural mystic, blowing through the air.

Pile - Don’t Touch Anything:

Those eyes
Swam pretty deep
Let my god
Play referee
But he only speaks
In Japanese

Pile - Leaning on a Wheel:

Getting in our own way
And blaming traffic
And a shitty plan
And other things that are assumed you understand

Head down
And eyes peeled
I wouldn’t call it driving, more like leaning on a wheel

Not happy
And not in love
But let's have a baby to save the marriage that we made up

It's getting in our own way

Beatles Within you and Without youAnd the time will come when you see we're all one, and life flows on within you and without you.

@johnto ,

It used to puzzle me why that song used to get so much flak in the first couple of decades after the release of Pepper.


I guess gradually the world is finally catching up with George:


"We were talking about the space between us all

And the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion

Never glimpse the truth, then it’s far too late, when they pass away"

Even in 2021 it’s heavy stuff indeed.

Back in ’67 it was probably a little too much for most listeners.
