ITCHYCOO PARK - Steve Marriott/Ronnie Lane
EMI United Partnership Ltd

OVER BRIDGE OF SIGHS TO REST MY EYES IN SHADES OF GREEN
UNDER DREAMING SPIRES TO ITCHYCOO PARK THAT’S WHERE I’VE BEEN
WHAT DID YOU DO THERE? I GOT HIGH
WHAT DID YOU FEEL THERE? WELL I CRIED
BUT WHY THE TEARS THERE? TELL YOU WHY

IT’S ALL TOO BEAUTIFUL

I FEEL INCLINED TO BLOW MY MIND
GET HUNG UP FEED THE DUCKS WITH A BUN
THEY ALL COME OUT TO GROOVE ABOUT
BE NICE AND HAVE FUN IN THE SUN

I’LL TELL YOU WHAT I’LL DO
I’D LIKE TO GO THERE NOW WITH YOU
YOU CAN MISS OUT SCHOOL
WHY GO TO LEARN THE WORDS OF FOOLS?
WHAT WILL WE DO THERE? WE’LL GET HIGH
WHAT WILL WE TOUCH THERE? WE’LL TOUCH THE SKY
BUT WHY THE TEARS THERE? I’LL TELL YOU WHY

"They tell the story... how one happygogusty Ides-of-April morning... ages and ages after the alleged misdemeanour when the tried friend of all creation, tigerwood roadstaff to his stay, was billowing across the wide expanse of our greatest park... he met a cad with a pipe."

'Would you like the job of resident organist Mac? 25 quid a night and all you can drink. Bring a drummer too if you like.'

Holy Bible
ROMANS 4:19 - Paul says that Abraham needed God's help to father Isaac when he was 100 years old. But Abraham, when he was even older, managed to father six more children with a new wife without any divine assistance (Gen.21:2, 25:1-2).

One of the best early rock MOD songs ever written! These guys were decades ahead of their time. I have so missed their music that it's a real joy to see Ian put such a wonderful tribute page on IAC! Thanks Ian, we love you guys and always will! What a great job Ian and the Bump Band do on this classic!

AOR Overflow
