Tripping Out In The City Park. Steve Killingbeck by spanishlilies published on 2017-12-06T13:24:30Z In the City of Bath there is a small vulva shaped park with a bandstand where, on a sunday afternoon one could, if so inclined, buy LSD. Forty or so years ago my girlfriend and I spent an afternoon there. I have no idea what brought this to mind. Getting old I guess..... There's a bubble in the mainline, there's a stirring in the crowd, I could almost feel the silver lining in the cloud. There's a fracture in the system and the truth is breaking through to where Heaven is a city park, freaking out with you. Her dress was pale blue cotton, crinkle-hemmed in lace, a Laura Ashley sunhat threw a shadow on her face. It was all so 'Sergeant Pepper's ', we even had the band, you and me on LSD, waiting at the ice-cream stand. And the punks down by the river, they were drinking Special Brew, we threw them down some cigarettes and a little wave from you. There were herons in the rushes, there were electric dragonflies, there was a universe of wonder reflected in your eyes. Our love was young, a month or two, the awkward part was done, a pair of tripped-out love birds laughing in the sun. And there was sugar at the bandstand on a sunday afternoon and heaven was a city park tripping out with you.

Cognitive scientists say gorgeous young songwriters like ourselves, lose short-term memory and engage in more reminiscing.... which has little to do with our time spent in O'Keeffe Park... 2018-10-22T20:31:53Z Comment by Janine Levinson love the mood and bounce of this. your style is so appealing 2018-06-17T16:21:46Z Comment by Folderol ... and snaffled a copy for future enjoyment :) 2018-04-21T20:56:28Z Comment by Folderol Like it :) 2018-04-21T20:52:43Z Comment by Simon Jones early 90's alternative vibe here i like that links back to 60's vibe just sounds good and funky with some synths :) great lyrics too 2018-03-13T22:25:54Z Comment by Brian Peters Great sounds and naughty memories, Steve... :) 2018-03-09T17:04:11Z Comment by Penelope's Thrill Love the 60s psychedlic vibe on this!!
