Shoulder length or longer

Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas a hive for bees a nest for birds there ain't no words For
the beauty, the splendor, the wonder Of my... Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair,

Down to here Down to there Down to where It stops by itself
They'll be ga ga at the go go when they see me in my toga

My Conviction
You know kids, I wish every mom and dad would make a speech to their
teenagers and say kids, be free, be whatever you are, do whatever you want
to do, just so long as you don't hurt anybody. And remember kids, I am your
friend. I would just like to say that it is my conviction That longer hair
and other flamboyant affectations Of appearance are nothing more Than the
male's emergence from his drab camoflage Into the gaudy plumage Which is
the birthright of his sex There is a peculiar notion that elegant plumage
And fine feathers are not proper for the male When ac------tually That is
the way things are In most species
Easy to be Hard
How can people be so heartless How can people be so cruel Easy to be
hard Easy to be cold How can people have no feelings How can they ignore
their friends Easy to be proud Easy to say no And especially people Who care
about strangers Who care about evil And social injustice Do you only Care
about the bleeding crowd? How about a needing friend? I need a friend How
can people be so heartless You know I'm hung up on you Easy to give in Easy
to help out And especially people Who care about strangers Who say they care
about social injustice Do you only Care about the bleeding crowd How about
a needing friend? I need a friend How can people have no feelings How can
they ignore their friends Easy to be hard Easy to be cold Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
Don't Put it Down
Om mane padme om On mane padme om Folding the flag means taking care
of the nation. Folding the flag is putting it to bed for the night. I fell
through a hole in the flag I'm falling through a hole in the flag Help! Don't
put it down Best one around Crazy for the red blue and white Crazy for the
red blue and white You look at me What do you see Crazy for the white red
and blue Crazy for the white red and blue Cause I look different You think
I'm subversive Crazy for the blue white and red Crazy for the blue white
and red My heart beats true For the red white and blue Crazy for the blue
white and red Crazy for the blue white and red And yellow fringe Crazy for
the blue white red and yellow
Frank Mills
I met a boy called Frank Mills On September twelfth right here In front of
the Waverly But unfortunately I lost his address He was last seen with his
friend, A drummer, he resembles George Harrison of the Beatles But he wears
his hair Tied in a small bow at the back I love him but it embarrasses me
To walk down the street with him He lives in Brooklyn somewhere And wears
this white crash helmet He has gold chains on his leather jacket And on the
back is written the names Mary And Mom And Hell's Angels I would gratefully
Appreciate it if you see him tell him I'm in the park with my girlfriend
And please Tell him Angela and I Don't want the two dollars back Just him!

Where Do I Go?
Where do I go Follow the river Where do I go Follow the gulls Where is
the something Where is the someone That tells me why I live and die Where
do I go Follow the children Where do I go Follow their smiles Is there an
answer In their sweet faces That tells me why I live and die Follow the wind
song Follow the thunder Follow the neon in young lovers' eyes Down to the
gutter Up to the glitter Into the city Where the truth lies Where do I go
Follow my heartbeat Where do I go Follow my hand Where will they lead me
And will I ever Discover why I live and die Why do I live (beads, flowers)
Why do I die (freedom, happiness) Tell my why (beads, flowers) Tell me where

What a piece of work is man How noble in reason How infinite in faculties
In form and moving How express and admirable In action how like an angel
In apprehension how like a god The beauty of the world The paragon of animals
I have of late But wherefore I know not Lost all my mirth This goodly frame
The earth Seems to me a sterile promontory This most excellent canopy The
air-- look you! This brave o'erhanging firmament This majestical roof Fretted
with golden fire Why it appears no other thing to me Than a foul and pestilent
congregation Of vapors What a piece of work is man How noble in reason How
dare they try to end this beauty? How dare they try to end this beauty? Walking
in space We find the purpose of peace The beauty of life You can no longer
hide Our eyes are open Our eyes are open Our eyes are open Our eyes are open

The Flesh Failures/Let the Sunshine In
We starve-look At one another Short of breath Walking proudly in our winter
coats Wearing smells from laboratories Facing a dying nation Of moving paper
fantasy Listening for the new told lies With supreme visions of lonely tunes
Somewhere Inside something there is a rush of Greatness Who knows what stands
in front of Our lives I fashion my future on films in space Silence Tells
me secretly Everything Everything Manchester England England Manchester England
England Eyes look your last Across the Atlantic Sea Arms take your last embrace
And I'm a genius genius And lips oh you the doors of breath I believe in
God Seal with a righteous kiss And I believe that God believes in Claude
Seal with a righteous kiss That's me, that's me, that's me The rest is silence
The rest is silence The rest is silence Singing Our space songs on a spider
web sitar Life is around you and in you Answer for Timothy Leary, dearie
Let the sunshine Let the sunshine in The sunshine in Let the sunshine Let
the sunshine in The sunshine in Let the sunshine Let the sunshine in The
sun shine in...
