Jimi Hendrix, most talked about on his death anniversary
51st Anniversary was the B-side to Purple Haze, released 17 March 1967
i sense 51st Anniversary was quite an advanced piece of song-writing for its time, how it integrates different guitar parts with different vocals (and was the method Hendrix developed which bands like LZ would adopt)
its not a song talked about much but i think its great
A fifty years they've been married
And they can't wait for their fifty first to roll around
Yeah, roll around
A thirty years they've been married
And now they're old and happy and they settle down
Settle down yeah!
Twenty years they've been married
And they did everything that could be done
You know their havin' fun
And then you come along and talk about
So you, say you want to be married
I'm gonna change your mind
Oh got to change
That was the good side baby
Here comes the bad side
Ten years they've been married
A thousand kids run around hungry
'Cause their mother's a louse
Daddy's down at the whiskey house
That ain't all
For three years they've been married
They don't get along so good
They're tired of each other, you know how that goes
She got another lover
Huh same old thing
So now you're seventeen
Running around hanging out, and a havin' your fun
Life for you has just begun, baby
And then you come saying
So you, you say you want to get married
Oh baby trying to put me on a chain
Ain't that some shame
You must be losing your, sweet little mind
I ain't ready yet, baby, I ain't ready
I'm gonna change your mind
Ooh look out baby
Oh
I ain't ready to get tied down
I ain't ready, I ain't ready now
Let me live a little while longer
Let me live
Let me live a little while longer...
