| SHE HAS FUNNY CARS
Every day I try so hard to know your mind
And find out what's inside you
Time goes on and I don't know just who you are
Or how I'm going to find you
You can do whatever you please
The world's waiting to be seized
You can collect all neglect
Or all the self-respect you  |

Выход второго альбома Jefferson Airplane можно считать и началом серьезного успеха в психоделическом роке и в рок-музыке в целом. И несомненно благодаря приходу в группу новой вокалистки Грейс Слик. Которая принесла из своей прошлой группы, наверное, два самых известных хита группы, которые многие слышали, не зная даже, кто исполнял их в оригинале. Это конечно «Somebody to Love» и «White Rabbit». Эти две песни как нельзя лучше показывают философию хиппи: свободная любовь и обратная сторона медали - мир наркотиков. Стоит только прочитать текст песни «White Rabbit», основанной на наркотических галлюциногенных фантазиях, что вкупе с музыкой ярко отображают культуру психоделического рока. Вообще, альбом довольно разноплановый от более драйвовых песен «She Has Funny Cars», «Somebody to Love», «3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds» до более спокойных и балладных «Today», «Comin' Back to Me» особенно хороша последняя с заметным налетом фольк-рока. А если в песне «3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds» немного утяжелить гитару, то можно будет услышать и классический хард-рок. Конечно, хочется отметить гитарные соло партии исполняемые Йормой Кауконеном с заметным блюзовым влиянием, которые очень удачно сочетаются с музыкой и усиливают ее. И вокальные партии удачно поделены и исполнены. Это и исполнение Грейс и Марти Балина, как нельзя лучше расставлены по своим местам. Наверное, к данному альбому можно применить слово культовый, и в который раз с удовольствием послушать. |

And I know... and I know... and I know
Your mind's guaranteed
It's all you'll ever need
So what do you want with me?
We live but once
But good things can be found around
In spite of all the sorrow
If you see black
You can't look back
You can't look front
You cannot face tomorrow
Some have it nice
Fat and round, flash, paradise
They're very wise to their disguise
Trying to revolutionize tomorrow
And I know... and I know... and I know
Your mind's guaranteed
It's all you'll ever need
So what do you want with me?
SOMEBODY TO LOVE
When the truth is found to be lies
and all the joys within you dies
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love
When the garden flowers baby are dead yes
and your mind is full of red
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love
your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
but in your head baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love
tears are running ah running down your breast
and your friends baby they treat you like a guest
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love
MY BEST FRIEND
Ah you're my best friend, and I love you so well
Till the end of time you won't see me
Ah you're my best friend, and I see you, it seems
Now I can see I've fallen into your love stream
I'll follow your dream
Do you know what I mean, yeah
I'll follow you wherever time will take me to
Forever I'll be one with you, one with you, one with you
Ah you're my best friend, am I all that you're seeing
I'll set you free, and then just like me you'll be being
In love with me
Do you know what I mean, yeah
Do you know what I mean,
I'm gonna set you free
You'll be in love with me,
You're my best friend, now
Ah you're my best friend, and I love you so well
Till the end of time you won't see me
Ah you're my best friend, and I see you, it seems
Now I can see I've fallen into your love stream
I'll follow your dream
Do you know what I mean,
TODAY
Today I feel like pleasing you more than before
Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for
To be living for you is all I want to do
To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true
Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed
Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same
To be anymore than all I am would be a lie
I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry
Today everything you want, I swear it all will come true
Today I realize how much I'm in love with you
With you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love
To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enought
Please, please listen to me
It's taken so long to come true
And it's all for you
all for you....
COMIN' BACK TO ME
The summer had inhaled
And held its breath too long.
The winter looked the same,
As if it had never gone,
And through an open window,
Where no curtain hung,
I saw you, I saw you,
Coming back to me.
One begins to read between
The pages of a look.
The sound of sleepy music,
And suddenly, you're hooked.
I saw you, I saw you,
Coming back to me.
You came to stay and live my way,
Scatter my love like leaves in the wind.
You always say that you won't go away,
But I know what it always has been,
It always has been.
A transparent dream
Beneath an occasional sigh...
Most of the time,
I just let it go by.
Now I wish it hadn't begun.
I saw you, I saw you,
Coming back to me.
Strolling the hill,
Overlooking the shore,
I realize I've been here before.
The shadow in the mist
Could have been anyone--
I saw you, I saw you,
Coming back to me.
Small things like reasons
Are put in a jar.
Whatever happened to wishes,
Wished on a star?
Was it just something
That I made up for fun?
I saw you, I saw you,
Coming back to me.
3/5 OF A MILE IN 10 SECONDS
do away with people blowing my mind
do away with people wasting my precious time
take me to a simple place
where I can easily see my face
baby, baby I can see that you're fine
know I love you baby, yes I do
know I love you baby, yes I do
do away with people laughing at my hair
do away with people climbing on my precious prayers
take me to a circus tent
where I can easily pay my rent
and all the other freaks can share my cares
know I love you baby, yes I do
know I love you baby, yes I do
do away with things that come on obscene
like hot rods real clean real fine nicotine
sometimes the price is 65 dollars
prices like that make a grown man holler
'specially when it's sold by a kid that's only 15
know I love you baby, yes I do
know I love you baby, yes I do
3/5's of a mile in 10 seconds...
D.C.B.A. -25
It's time you walked away and set me free--
I must move away, 'n' leave you be.
It has been good to us my friend,
Wait, and see how it will end.
We come and go as we please.
(Grace: We come and go as we please)
(Paul: That's how it has to be).
Here in this ocean, the near and holy,
Too many days I've left unstoned.
If you don't mind, happiness
Purple pleasure-fields in the sun
Ah don't you know I'm runnin' home
(Grace: Don't you know I'm runnin' home)
(Paul: To a place, for you unknown).
I take great peace in your sitting there(1).
Searching for myself, I find a place there(2).
I see the people of the world,
Where they are and what they could be.
I can but dance behind your smile
(Grace: I can but dance behind your smile)
(Paul: To [the] other world---to me, for a while)
EMBRYONIC JOURNEY
[Instrumental]
WHITE RABBIT
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
When she was just small.
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head. Feed your head. Feed your head"
PLASTIC FANTASTIC LOVER
Her neon mouth with a bleeding talk smile
Is nothing but electric sign
You could say she has an individual style
She's a part of a colorful time
Super-sealed lady, chrome-color clothes
You wear 'cause you have no other
But I suppose no one knows
You're my plastic fantastic lover
Your rattlin' cough never shuts off
Is nothing but a used machine
Your aluminum finish, slightly diminished
Is the best I've ever seen
Cosmetic baby, plug into me
And never, ever find another
And I realize no one's wise
To my plastic fantastic lover
The electrical dust is starting to rust
Her trapezoid thermometer taste
