Kalifornia Kiddies Lyrics


They grew right through the whole damned thing
>From the beatnik beginning
Pissed and Pilled and Puffed and Pricked
Down the highway of oblivion
As we dug the Rockin' Insects and
Moved to Mama-Mandrex
They saw right through our acid eyes
And released bonds of shame-sex
Those Kalifornia Kiddies shinning in the sun
Those Kalifornia Kiddies love 'em every one
They felt our hippie happy days
They felt our deepest sorrow
They learned how to embrace the past
And the great Unknown Tomorrow
They'll soon put down this rock
That down the bog soon courses
Daft Decadence and nazi groups
Foul and hostile forces

Those Kalifornia Kiddies shinning in the sun
Those Kalifornia Kiddies love 'em every one
They listened to the sky with you
They heard the bell of peace ring
The message in the flower
The symbol of awakening
They saw you give up meats and sweets
And practice control passion
And all this done stoned, on the run
And through the Veil went crashing
They saw you gain a mantra
>From the Master of the Wild Mind
Felt you feel way deep inside
Behind the Veil of Maya
Instinctively they opened up
Their spirit - eyes of Wisdom
Their Fairy Tale will never pale
They dance in Love's bright freedom

Donovan is a Scottish singer-songwriter who emerged as part of the mid-1960s folk music scene.

He was born Donovan Leitch on 10th May 1946 in Maryhill, Glasgow, Scotland; the family moved to Hatfield, England in 1956. Donovan came to fame in the United Kingdom in early 1965 with a series of live performances on the television pop series, Ready Steady Go!

Donovan first hit the pop charts in 1965 with his single "Catch The Wind". He produced hit after hit throughout the sixties and his Sunshine Superman album was considered an innovative breakthrough to a new psychedelic pop sound. His 1967 double album A Gift From A Flower To A Garden completed the transition from beat poet folkster to hippie troubadour. After splitting with producer Mickie Most after his album Barabajagal, his career struggled though the 1970s, but he has regained popularity with re-issues of his old songs in the 1990s.

Songfacts reports that Donovan first met Linda Lawrence in 1965, when she was recovering from a broken relationship with Brian Jones. The pair dated briefly, but not wanting the scrutiny and uncertainty of being a pop’s star girlfriend all over again, Lawrence broke it off at the end of the year. They continued to have an on-off romantic relationship over the next five years, and Linda exerted a huge influence on Donovan's music. They finally married on October 2, 1970 at Windsor Registry Office.

As a close friend of The Beatles he travelled to India with them during their famous trip, and taught them how to fingerpick.
