about

A song about a groovy, mysterious, guru-like mystical figure. Complete with a chord sequence that wanders outside the usual lines, this is an affectionate nod to all the folks who, in the late sixties, had arrangers dress their songs up in fake classical clothing. I like it a lot when I hear the way bands like the Beatles and the Kinks dabbled and paddled in the orchestral waters.

A favourite of mine, this one; somewhere new for me to go musically, and I’m happy with how it turned out.

lyrics

Crazy Daisy’s living off the land
She lives off things she finds
Things others leave behind
Crazy Daisy’s living off the land
She doesn’t need a lot
She’s quite content with what she’s got
Though it might be hard to understand
Crazy Daisy’s living off the land

Crazy Daisy comes from somewhere else
There’s something in her eyes
Something that’s young and wise
Crazy Daisy comes from somewhere else
And though it sounds absurd
She never says a word
Crazy Daisy comes from somewhere else
Crazy Daisy’s coming to our house

Meeting her has turned our lives around
And we can tell you about it
We were lost, but now we’re safe and found
And we can tell you about it
Tell you about it
Can’t do without it

Crazy Daisy’s staying at our place
Just for a little while
Because we like her style
Crazy Daisy’s staying at our place
Now we feel everything
We feel her dance and sing
Crazy Daisy’s lighting up our place
Crazy Daisy and her smiling face

Meeting her has turned our lives around
And we can tell you about it
We were lost, but now we’re safe and found
And we can tell you about it
Tell you about it
Can’t do without it

Crazy Daisy’s local fame has spread
And the authorities
Are feeling ill-at-ease
Crazy Daisy’s put things in our heads
And now we have to know
Question the status quo
They came after Crazy Daisy’s head
And sent the Joybreakers
With guns for her
But she just smiled
And their guns turned into
Candy floss and bubble gum and wine

And everyone had a chew and a slurp
And a pink sugar high
And we all felt fine

bushytunes Christmas Island

Once upon a time there was a crazy idea: to create, record and upload a musical track every day for a year. And the idea floated round and round the planet, looking for a place to call home. After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway... ... more
