Heroes and Villains

I've been in this town so long that back in the city

I've been taken for lost and gone

And unknown for a long long time
Fell in love years ago

With an innocent girl

From the Spanish and Indian home

Home of the heroes and villains
Once at night Catillian squared the fight

And she was right in the rain of the bullets that eventually brought her down

But she's still dancing in the night

Unafraid of what a dude'll do in a town full of heroes and villains
Heroes and villains

Just see what you've done
Heroes and villains

Just see what you've done
Stand or fall I know there

Shall be peace in the valley

And it's all an affair

Of my life with the heroes and villains
My children were raised

You know they suddenly rise

They started slow long ago

Head to toe healthy weathy and wise
I've been in this town so long

So long to the city

I'm fit with the stuff

To ride in the rough

And sunny down snuff I'm alright

By the heroes and
Heroes and villains

Just see what you've done
Heroes and villains

Just see what you've done

Shes Goin Bald

Silken hair, more silken hair

Fell on her face and no wind was blowin'

(She's goin' bald)
Silken hair, more silken hair

Lay near her pillbox down at her feet

(She'd been on a trip)
I peeked in and when I saw she'd

Lost her hair I thought I would keel

(she's goin' bald)

When she saw her shining forehead

Didn't stop she swooned to the ground

(Really flipped her wig)
Laughed so hard I

Blew my mind

I blew my cool

I blew myself over
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Sha na na, sha na na na na na na na na

What a blow

Sha na na, sha na na na na na na na na

What a blow

Sha na na, sha na na na na na na na na

What a blow

Sha na na, sha na na na na na na na na

What a blow

Sha na na, sha na na
She drew her comb acrost her scalp

And brushed what she had left

I tried to salvage what I could

And threw it in a sack

She made a b-line to her room

And grabbed all kind o' juice

She started pourin' it on her head

And thought it'd grow it back

Ah ha haaaaaa
You're too late mama

Ain't nothin' upside your head

No more no more no more no more
Upside your head
Too late mama

Ain't nothin' upside your head

No more no more no more no more
Upside
Upside your head
You're too late mama

Ain't nothin' upside your head

No more no more no more no more

(What about it, dude?)

I-I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair

Wind Chimes

Hangin' down from my window

Those are my wind chimes

Wind chimes

Wind chimes
In the late afternoon you're

Hung up on wind chimes

Wind chimes

Not to look at my wind chimes

Wind chimes

Now and then a tear rolls on my cheek
On a warm breeze the little bells

Tinklin' wind chimes

Wind chimes

Wind chimes
Close your eyes and lean back

Listen to wind chimes

It's so peaceful

Close to a lullabye
The wind chimes tinglin'

Smiley Smile Info:

(buy at amazon.com)

Smiley Smile is the twelfth studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released on September 18, 1967. Conceived as a simpler and more relaxed version of their unfinished Smile album, Smiley Smile is distinguished for its homespun arrangements, "stoned" aesthetic, and lo-fi production. Critics and fans generally received the album and its lead single, "Heroes and Villains", with confusion and disappointment. The album reached number 9 on UK record charts, but sold poorly in the U.S., peaking at number 41—the band's lowest chart placement to that point.

Following principal songwriter Brian Wilson's declaration that most of the original Smile tapes would be abandoned, the majority of the recording sessions lasted for six weeks at his makeshift home studio using radio broadcasting equipment, a detuned piano, electronic bass, melodica, found objects for percussion, and a Baldwin theater organ. The unconventional recording process juxtaposed an experimental party-like atmosphere with short pieces of music edited together in a disjointed manner, combining the engineering methods of "Good Vibrations" (1966) with the loose feeling of Beach Boys' Party! (1965). Despite leading these sessions, Wilson deliberately credited the album's production to the group collectively for the first time.

From late 1966 to mid-1967, Smile had been repeatedly delayed while the Beach Boys were subject to a considerable level of media hype proclaiming Wilson to be a "genius". After settling payment disputes with Capitol Records, Smiley Smile was distributed in collaboration with Brother Records, the band's new self-owned record company. A second single, "Gettin' Hungry", was credited to Wilson and Mike Love and failed to chart. Smile was left incomplete as the band immediately moved onto the recording of Lei'd in Hawaii, an unfinished live album featuring performances in the style of Smiley Smile, and Wild Honey, released in December 1967.

Smiley Smile has since become a critical and cult favorite, influencing the development of the lo-fi, ambient, and bedroom pop genres. It is often regarded as one of the finest chill-out albums for having positive effects on listeners experiencing an LSD comedown, a usage adopted by at least one drug clinic. In 1974, it was ranked number 64 in NME's list of the greatest albums of all time. Outtakes and session highlights from the album were included on the compilations The Smile Sessions (2011) and 1967 - Sunshine Tomorrow (2017).
