Down

Three-Dee Melodie

Hideous on the edge of a precipice
The cavity filled up with forgetfullness
Beyond there's no retribution only war
Her society overtly...
The meaning of existence
Can't be supplied by religion or ideologies
Left to all our creativity we must find
The real significance that wouldn't be mystified
The sense or non-sense that will emerge on a precipice
Is only the impact of the creative activity

Mr. Five by Five!

Jimmy Rushing, Good Morning Blues (1962)

Coleman Hawkins

Mickey Baker on Guitar

You Haven't Done Nothin"

We are amazed but not amused
By all the things you say that you'll do
Though much concerned but not involved
With decisions that are made by you

On The Level

 

I believe the corporate assholes responsible for FM rock station playlists denied us this gem.  Damn them.  How is it possible that Down, Down was a UK Singles Chart number one during the week of January 18, 1975 but completely ignored in the U.S. for the rest of the decade?
