I was living with my girlfriend way back when and I had this 45. We were going through difficulties and had a long talk/argument. It seemed to be getting better, so we made dinner together. I put this record on to show her how much I loved her and wanted us to stay, forever. I had left to make some errands that evening. When I returned home, she was gone. The next morning she returned from another man's flat. She had cheated and that was that. So it goes...
My attempt at the lyrics: Leave me here I want to stay forever (x2) Boys in yellow and green All going to see the Queen Girls in blue and gold Been enlightened(?) so I’ve been told Road what seems to me To be as beautiful as can be Oscar Wilde is fine No flies on John-John’s pie Leave me here I want to stay forever (x2) Peter the head above the frog(?) Going downstream on a log Wilfred the toad proves the road(?) Are tired and they want to go home The princess looking for a prince “Frieda Weed” and gothly wench(?) The car’s broken down outside Forget about the trip of being right Leave me here I want to stay forever (x2) The greatest psychedelic track of all time.
"Free the weed and Godrey Winch" ? ..I have a feeling that's not actually the line ? but it always sounded like that to me ! (I don't thing the phrase "free the weed" was around yet in '67 ??)
Perfect slice of psychedelic whimsy. A sleepy kind of whimsy.
Thanks for all the great tunes you've posted here.

I think the lyrics say it all: 'leave me here!' 'forever!'. Not 'Stay with me here forever.' . Shit happens.
real kool.....great post.
Kudos for the editing. I think it makes the music even more appealing.
Oh yeah man far out loving it 😁😁
To quote Elvis Costello, "What's so funny about peace, love and understanding?"
There's something here that reminds me of Stop,Stop,Stop
by The Hollies. I get a John Lennon vibe
Love that sitar sound
My attempt at the lyrics:
Leave me here I want to stay forever (x2)
Boys in yellow and green
All going to see the Queen
Girls in blue and gold
Been enlightened(?) so I’ve been told
Road what seems to me
To be as beautiful as can be
Oscar Wilde is fine
No flies on John-John’s pie
Leave me here I want to stay forever (x2)
Peter the head above the frog(?)
Going downstream on a log
Wilfred the toad proves the road(?)
Are tired and they want to go home
The princess looking for a prince
“Frieda Weed” and gothly wench(?)
The car’s broken down outside
Forget about the trip of being right
Leave me here I want to stay forever (x2)
The greatest psychedelic track of all time.
Wow 😳 love it🌈😎
I wonder how people get to know such wonderful Izoteric bands, If not youtube I didnt know...
Jimmy Campbell is a genius, flawed and addictive, but he could have been the lead of a MAJOR band. Sad.
Beautiful song, anyone know the lyrics?
its called the 60's!
i love is musik
The Hollies Stop,Stop,Stop comes to mind.Far out video effects.
Let's all drop...
"Free the weed and Godrey Winch" ? ..I have a feeling that's not actually the line ?
but it always sounded like that to me !
(I don't thing the phrase "free the weed" was around yet in '67 ??)
It's a nickname for Frieda Kelly.
John Lennon sort of imagery. Great poetry
I thought this was the Beatles ;-;
